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!
