Suggestions for South American Restaurant near New York

Ronny A. • July 14, 2016Best value for your buck in midtown. Salads and bowls with grilled meats on top. Great ambience and music. Highly recommend. Get there before 1 if you dont want to wait.

Marian E. • October 8, 2012You can share the matador combo with 4 people. Get an appetizer on the side, like cerviche or calamari and you're in pio pio heaven. P.S. Get a pitcher of Sangria.

Ellie R. • July 3, 2016Super authentic! Empanadas are a MUST and best washed down with a Quilmes!

Emily H. • July 15, 2017I work in the area and I get lunch here nearly every day because these arepas are DELICIOUS and the cheapest gluten free option in the area. Try the chicken with green tomatillo and queso.

La S. • March 27, 2016Food all amazing. Our faves were the Tomahawk and the rocket salad. Delicious

Chez O. • January 18, 2015Favorite Peruvian roast chicken place. It's way better than Pio Pio! The squid ink fried rice and green pastas are ridiculously awesome too.
