So a work friend and I have been trying all of Zack’s picks over the past few weeks. Have to say there have been quite a few disappointments – and this is no exception. The chicken here simply does not compare to Pio Pio. I’m not sure the chicken is any better than the random buffet lunch market across the street from my building. Also, best Roast Pork pick was really subpar – don’t even remember the name of it. On the plus side – the Biryani (sp?) cart and Margon were AWESOME!! Already knew about Manchego Tei – and agree with all the positive reviews.

So TASTY! In 2 weeks I have already gone there 3 times!
I always got the 1/4 chicken, white meat. Since its the white meat other places tend to dry it out, but all 3 times the chicken was tender and juicy. I’ve had the rice and beans mix which was ok, the plain yellow rice which was ok, and then the white rice with red kidney beans..(I had to ask if they had beans separately because it’s not offered on the warming trays). White rice was the best out of the 3! And that whatever the green spicy sauce it called. I LOVE it!

The rotisserie chicken at Tio Pio West was great. The above reviews led me to believe that that rice, plaintains and mac and cheese would be the only alternatives, but the warming trays had other choices (e.g. fish) as well.

I had the “daily special” of quarter chicken (dark), rice and green salad. The skin was crisp, and meat was moist and flavourful. On a Tuesday afternoon at 12:30, there wasn’t a lineup.

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.
