My first time at Pio Peru - Loved it! The restaurant opened a little earlier than expected and already, we were the 2nd table of 4 in the restaurant. The restaurant was about 1/2 full when we left the restaurant after lunch.
Our waitress came by and brought us our menus and also taste tests of their 2 juices they have in the restaurant. One is the Passionfruit and the other was the Purple Corn with lime juice and pineapple. We decided on the Purple Corn as it was so delicious, light and not at all sweet. It's called CHICHA MORADA on their menu.
We ordered:
ANTICUCHOS - "Super tender grilled Beef Heart skewers with crispy potatoes and Peruvian Black Mint sauce" (Huacatay). The most tender beef hearts I've ever eaten!! 2 skewers on a plate with the Huacatay sauce (green sauce). I love Huacatay sauce!
PIO CON ARROZ - Roasted quarter chicken with yellow rice, comes with 2 sauces - Huacatay and Mayo sauce.
PIO CON QUINOA - Same as above but with quinoa and bell peppers salad. I had this dish and it was delicious. The chicken meat was so tender and juicy. I love the sauces and they go so well with the chicken.
Excellent wait service.
Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Will be back!
