| - I live really close to Pio Pio but hadn't been until Saturday night. For some reason, I was turned off by the location and the fairly simple menu...what a fool am I! This is a Charlotte gem. The place was packed on Saturday night, but we were able to be seated after a pretty quick wait.
My boyfriend and I were deciding between a few choices and sides, but then he spotted the Latin American combo: a full rotisserie chicken, yuca, plantains, salad, and rice & beans for $27. That is a steal. We had no idea about portion size so also got an arepa with sausage. The sausage was a link on the side, not in the arepa, and it was amazing. Kind of chorizo-esque with a good kick. The salad had a big portion of avocado and a delicious dressing. The CHICKEN, my goodness, the chicken. Amazing. We ate ourselves silly and still had a big box of leftovers to take home. Oh, and the sangria is pretty delish, too.
See you soon, Pio Pio!
