Juiciest $9.50 lunch deal (M-F 11-4pm) & best rotisserie chicken in NYC: 1/4 (white or dark meat) chicken w/ avocado tomato salad, a soda, & side (rice & beans, tostones, or fries). Ask 4 green sauce!

Hands down, the best Peruvian Chicken in the city! Get the Matador Combo if you're really hungry or are with a couple of friends: one whole chicken, rice, beans, tostones, salchipapa, & avocado salad.

Rotisserie chicken with saffron rice are to die for. Mixed the green sauce with garlic sauce and cried myself to sleep. So gooodd. Fast delivery if you order early. Large portions. Do it. Just do it.

One matador entree is enough for the people easily! Very good food, almost like a family bbq

The lunch special is such a great deal! Definitely get the chicken leg - the meat is so tender it practically falls off of the bones.

Try the $10 lunch special - Peruvian Chicken with fried plantains, a salad, and a drink. Of course, you won't want to leave without trying their tasty, strong sangria either.

The best peruvian restaurant in NY. El Matador is awesome and the guys are very kind also. I Love this place ❤️
Louis-Felix BinetteDecember 25, 2015
Everything is wrong here. Everything. Except the food, which is delicious. And the company, if you're lucky like I am. :)

Rotisserie chicken was awesome! Sangria was good but a bit sweet for me. I didn't think the restaurant was as polished as it actually was. A little shocking!
Michael HaaralaOctober 26, 2016
Hot dog + french fries is the move. Hands down.

The avocado salad and the Juanita's chicken are a powerfully delicious combination. But don't get the combos because its cheaper to buy each dish individually.

Dreaming of Chicken, avocado salad & green Sauce! 😋

The atmosphere isn’t as good as the Hell’s Kitchen location, but the lomo saltado is just as delicious.

$12 for a whole chicken is such good value. Green sauce is key, but the chicken is so juicy that sauce is pretty unnecessary.
ChrysHKJuly 7, 2016
The sangria is so so, the mozzarella tastes like salted plastic, the chicken is a roasted chicken you can find in any French rotisserie. Portion are quite big, American size.
Alice NamAugust 8, 2014
Delicious peruvian dinner spot. Try their sangria while waiting for friends at the bar
Maya Jimenez 😬June 28, 2015
Best Peruvian food in the city! Yuca fries and the salad are great!
Alexandrina SMarch 16, 2014
Love it! Lomo saltado is incredible. Make sure to get the green sauce!
Alfred M.December 21, 2017
EL MATADOR! Perfect for a 2 person feast! Do it!
Kartik SathappanAugust 7, 2014
The rotisserie chicken is so moist it's unbelievable. I've never had a better chicken breast.
MarinaMay 10, 2016
Ceviche is good. Has LOTS of lime juice.
Ellis HamburgerAugust 10, 2014
Ask for the creamy, spicy green sauce. Then ask for even more green sauce.
Jackie WestsideOctober 31, 2016
Rotisserie chicken, avocado salad, mixto ceviche! 🍗🍴🐙
MeCritic.comNovember 26, 2011
The food is always very fresh. Keep in mind they only accept cash and Amex for payment. http://www.mecritic.com/places/place/785114/Pio-Pio-Restaurant

Green sauce is great. The matador combo is good for 2-3, if you have a few eaters go for a seafood platter too.
Humayun RashidDecember 27, 2012
Cozier location than the Hells Kitchen one but still the same consistent delicious chicken!
DaveApril 10, 2015
Great seviche. Even the mild seasoning has quite a kick
Cesar RazuriJuly 29, 2012
The ceviche was alright, but when you come here, it's all about the pollo a la brasa.
Tania TorresFebruary 9, 2013
Very delicious chicken but definitely not a big portion. Order twice of what you would usually get.
Ernesto GutierrezJuly 22, 2017
Chicken is the specialty here. Don't bother with any other type of meat. Chicken empanadas are a delight. The ceviches are a big disappointment for a Peruvian restaurant, very bland.
Matt FolgerFebruary 1, 2016
Great chicken, inexpensive. A+
SuperbJune 26, 2012
Ask for about a gallon of green sauce to go with your chicken. So delicious!
Gil MDecember 24, 2015
Always reliable; good food at great prices.
Jeanie JangNovember 5, 2014
Their chicken combo and seafood dish with rice
Jeremy KoenigJune 10, 2012
You just got to get the sangria its so delicious once it hits your tongue !!
David WhiteJuly 5, 2023
Ceviche Limeño and Roast Chicken are what this place is all about.
Kim Tumaini JørgensenJuly 17, 2013
Best peruvian food ever. Do not miss it!
Amy SDecember 31, 2012
So yummy! Chicken, rice, salad & green sauce!! Perfect lunch!
Kimberley LeeAugust 18, 2017
Share the whole chicken meal with a friend (or maybe 2!).
Christopher TaiApril 17, 2011
This place has some amazin' chicken. Order the Chicken Pio, or if you're really hungry, order the Peruvian Combo!
Ivette AlmeidaJuly 6, 2013
The Juanita chicken was delicious with the Avocado salad.
JasonMarch 30, 2015
The chicken empanadas with green sauce...mmm
JD WhittingtonMarch 10, 2012
Avacado salad. Delicious dressing. Oh and eat the whole chicken.
Nikhita MahtaniApril 11, 2016
So good! I love the chicken
Sinan ArkonacMay 27, 2018
The chicken is good but don’t get the sangria
David BerkowitzNovember 14, 2010
Absolutely delicious, juicy Peruvian chicken
Nureen GulamaliDecember 11, 2011
I've heard the green sauce is made of the same ingredients as crack cocaine. I don't doubt it - seriously addictive.

Immediately get a pitcher of sangria. It's by far one of the best ones I've ever had and you'll be occupied by the time you get your Matador Combo. You get so much delicious food. Super great value.

Amazing chicken. Matador combo is a feast... Sub the tostones for maduras.
Sean KennedyJune 20, 2011
The Matador easily feeds four. Excellent chicken with green sauce. Read more
