Pio Pio Restaurant Charlotte NC

The beans were watery, had only one tiny piece of plantain as seasoning, the steak was flat and dry it comes with a disgusting sauce mainly vinegar & parsley. The waiter took my daughters plate without asking if she was finished, and mine also I wanted to finish my maduros. I left 20% tip because this review will make them do better.Food: 1/5

Pio pio has great food but I always ask for white sauce only and they NEVER get it right. Tonight, I forgot to check - ugh. And ordered dark meat only… ugh got mixed.Food: 5/5

It's cute but very small... tables are crushed together.. chicken is very boney... I keep spitting little chunks of bones .. kinda heavy food.. very expensive, they charge for everything. Not a fan.. location is nice..rich white people neighborhood.. I don't think I'll come back unfortunately

This is a NO PERUVIAN RESTAURANT! It says Peruvian but it's a Colombian one. This restaurant has some Peruvian options, but of course in another style. The worst Lomo Saltado that I ever tried, needs a lot of culinary improvement. I tried to add salt pepper/ dressing, but the taste was awful. Even I tried better Colombian restaurants. Service is ok, I only liked their Passion Fruit drink. I was very disappointed to pay for food that I didn't eat because It was terrible, and the server didn't offer anything else. If you can, please choose another place to eat.

The place did’t cover my expectations… services and customer services has 6 of 10 I know we are close to 9 pm but the waitress needs to pay more attention to the customers … I was looking for a nice Peruvian restaurant in Charlotte and the reviews talked. But certainly my lomo salteado was not a real lomo plate .. the jalea is far away to the real Jalea too….. this restaurant needs more quality and better flavors training for their employees. Potentially has the instruments but needs still more ..

The restaurant is a little small but the flavor is HUGE! Great food, warm and friendly staff. This is a treat for me and my friends. The roasted chicken is like no other. If you are familiar with Peruvian food, you will understand!! The next best thing to the chicken are the beans. I was a little disappointed by the beans on my last trip but hopefully that was just a one-off. Typically the beans are SO savory, creamy, and flavorful - you do not know whether you are coming or going!! Get the half chicken, platanos and beans!! Thank me later

I came from SC to eat some Peruvian food which I love but this place is nothing to do the chaufa mix suppose to have shrimp and chicken no shrimp and it was white rice mix with egg. I order the Montañero and the beef had a bad taste our food took more than 20 min to come out even the server came back from his lunch and asked us if we want something else when we did not even get our food. I complain about all this and they gave me $5 discount insulting absolutely not recommended

Great service, delicious cuisine, and exceptionally clean surroundings. It's a lot of food for lunch, and portions were generous for the cost. Will undoubtedly return to try more menu items.Food: 5/5

I ordered the same meal for the second time to be sure I was fair about my review. The result was the same. The rice, beans and plantains are tasty, however the star of the show, the chicken, is dry with no seasoning. it appears the garlic sauce is intended to provide the missing flavor. I actually prefer the chicken at Viva Chicken, which is a chain, but the chicken is always moist and wonderfully seasoned without the sauces. i did not dine in, but the take out service is friendly but a bit slow
