Pio Pio Latin Cuisine

I'm not sure how this place has less that 4 stars because every time I have had food from Pio Pio, it's been spot on. This was my first time dining in the restaurant and we were welcomed with big smiles and the friendliest staff. We sat on the patio because the weather was perfect. We got the chicken quarters (amazing flavor on the chicken skin), the perfect plantains, and the chicken soup. The rice with the crema sauce is my favorite combo and the spicy green sauce with the chicken rocks. No critiques, 10/10.

Pio pio is one of my favorite places to stop for food in Orlando. The food and drinks are consistent, the service is always on point, and the music is perfect, too! I recommend the sangria, and my go-to meal is the #1 quarter chicken with rice, beans, and a side of your choice (I always get sweet plantains). It looks like they've expanded their menu, and while I would love to try other things on the menu, I can't help but always order my comfort meal.

The ambiance here was lovely, and the wait staff were just as great. We took a chance on trying cuisine outside of our usual, and this place did not disappoint. I loved being able to watch the rotisserie chickens being prepped through the kitchen window as we ate. The portions were generous, and while the seasonings were light, the natural flavors of the food really shone through.

Had a great experience! The food was delicious, customer service was friendly, and the place was clean and spacious. The only downside was the TV being a bit too loud, but overall, a wonderful visit.

Great chicken! Nicely roasted with plenty of flavor. The prices here are a little bit more for a lunch spot but the food is tasty. Portions are decent. Service was average. Still a very good chicken spot!

The chicken was the star of the show for me! Getting a quarter was a perfect amount for me while for only $2 more my boyfriend got a half chicken. This meal with the sweet plantains was delicious! It definitely made me want to come back and try other meats as the chicken was cooked perfectly.I would not get the empanadas again, you could tell they were fresh but the inside was just too mushy for both of us. I would be interested in trying an arepa appetizer instead next time.The beans came in what looked like soup and were way too watery for me. This is why I'm giving four stars as 1/3 of my dinner entre to me was inedible. Our appetizer and avocado add on also came out after the main courses but ended up not really minding since the chicken was really the highlight. Our server was very sweet and recommended more meats to try next time that are her favorite and I'm excited to go back! I'll just be subbing out the beans.

Not the Pio pio I had in the past this is the knock off version with the same name. The other location is way better

I've visited this location twice both times good service, good food and drinks. Music was a little loud but nothing to crazy.

I came here strictly because of its location next to Shipley's donuts. I was wanting donuts for dessert, so decided to try this place because it's right next door. There is ample seating inside and outside. They have a full bar and decent happy hour drink specials. I ordered a mango margarita and it was tasty. They have large TVs inside and were playing soccer. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. It wouldn't be a bad place to hang out with friends but the food was just horrible. Everything--and I mean everything-was dry and chewy. Not one person enjoyed their food. Even the plantains were too dry to enjoy! My daughter ate a small portion of her pork chop and we tried to feed it to a stray cat and the skinny, homeless, starving stray cat would not eat it. The food we ordered and did not enjoy were: sampler platter, chicken empanadas, arepa with cheese, garlic and shrimp mofongo, pork chop special and quarter chicken special. I can only recommend that you do not order those dishes if you are wanting to give this place a try. The drinks are great!

I want to thank the manager and the entire crew at Pío Pio in semoran.You guys are the best in service and the food is amazing
