Wow Zach…you nailed this one. I’ve been dying for some good chicken for lunch and though this place is alittle OOB for me,the nine block walk was more than worth it. The chicken is massive and the sides (rice and beans and mashed potatoes) are giant portions and sooooo good. It’ll definitley be worked into my rotation.

Pio Pio (34th between 2&3) is now $9.50 for a half chicken and sides. It is a sit down restaurant that looks nothing like the pictures above.

Wow. Absolutely fantastic chicken. Why, you ask? Because it was well seasoned! Nicely salted. Absolutely peruvect execution of the rotisserie concept. Bravo.

Also — they were frying up some beef. “What,” I asked, “is that?”

“Oh, it’s beef,” they answered.

“Where is it on the menu?”

Shrugs. I figured it was for their own lunch. They were out of plaintains. I asked the register girl if I could have some cole slaw, instead. The girls consulted with the boys on the fry line for ~45 seconds, with my food container open. Finally they reached a decision, and the fryer cut off a generous piece of beef, plopped it onto my rice beside my chicken, and the girl bagged it up with a sweet, sweet smile.

Moral: the people here are very sweet and their food sure is good, but no habla ingles…

Checked it out with my sister today. Our green sauces were spicy and creamy. We each got 1/4 chicken with rice, beans and plantains for $6. Chicken was ok. They gave me white rice instead of yellow rice but it was surprisingly good. The rice was steamed in chicken oil. Do you remember if they charged you tax? 2 lunch specials and a Snapple ended up costing $14.50. I’m trying to figure out if they miscalculated, if the total includes tax or if the Snapple cost $2.50
