As of right now, the only way to find this newest addition to the Pio Pio empire is to accidentally stumble upon it. It’s location is not even posted on the website yet! So, of course, when I came across it while walking down the street, I just had to make a detour to stop in.

For the most part, it’s your typical Pio Pio with the same menu of delicious chicken and side dishes as its uptown counterpart. What really sets it apart is the decor. It will totally throw you for a loop. The eatery is unexpectedly large and it seems the owners had a lot of fun decorating it. The vibe is very nouveau rustic with lots of wood, shiny gold, and beautiful photos of Peru. It's only been open for a month, but there were already a bunch of regulars hanging out there. Dine by the bar, or in the humongous downstairs dining room. It's an impressive view from up top. Like I said, you won’t find any info on the internet just yet, but I wanted to let all you Pio Pio lovers know about this sweet new location!
