Great little hidden gem. High quality, food cooked from scratch, offering chicken cooked on a spit accompanied by a variety of Peruvian sauces . The beet salad was perfection, and large enough to share— It’s obvious that the chef- owner, Justin, takes pride in serving up fresh, high-quality, authentic Peruvian food

I absolutely loved the taste of the chicken!! I was born in Peru, and this chicken took me back! 10/10. I have to go back next time I am in town.

The chicken is the best! This place needs to be packed all the time! The food is so good that next time I have to buy a whole chicken! I am hoping they have more side options the next time I go there (perhaps fried plantains?)

Quality quality quality. The sauces are super flavorful and a little goes a long way. The fries are crispy outside and fluffy inside. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned and super juicy. You can tell they buy quality chicken and not whatever cheap hormone pumped bird you can get from Sysco or US Foods. Overall a big fan and now that I know it's behind Costco, I'll be stopping in more frequently, even just for some of those fries.

I wanted to love this local Pollo a la Brasa. I've been searching for a good authentic Peruvian a la brasa since moving from the East coast.You know, the one where you smell the roasting chicken from down the block.
While the chicken had the herbs and spices one expects, the price point for a whole chicken at $54.00 outweighed any gustatorial delight.
It came with only container of field greens and a single small dressing. No beets, no feta, nothing more. Plain spring greens.
I would expect a family dinner of a whole chicken - at $54.00 - to come with at least 2 family sized sides and plenty of aji sauce beyond 1 thimble size yellow, green and red condiment.
Thankfully, I have a delicious aji amarillo recipe that I keep on hand.
I truely wish Mr Pio the best of success, , because it was a tasty chicken but between the cost and lack of sides for a meal package, I will continue my search.

Simply incredible. By far the best fries ever and the sauces and the chicken - life changing.
My wife and I were on our way to the airport and decided to make a quick pit stop — and we’re so glad we did! Mister Pío truly exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were spot on. The chicken was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor — honestly, to die for!
What really stood out was the incredible sauce that complemented every bite. It tied the whole meal together beautifully. You can tell this place puts care into every dish.
We’re already talking about coming back the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful food and a great dining experience!

Mister Pio absolutely nailed it, this is top-tier chicken, from crispy, flavorful skin to juicy, tender bone-in perfection. The simple greens salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, the fries were golden and addictive, and don’t even get me started on the sauces, every bite was a celebration of flavor.
The menu isn’t extensive, but honestly, it doesn’t need to be. What they do serve is so well-executed, you’ll find yourself craving it again and again. You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and it’s clear there’s real passion behind the food.
On top of it all, the owner is incredibly kind and humble; you can feel the love and care poured into this place. Mister Pio has officially become my new favorite spot, and I’m certain big things are ahead for them. If you haven’t been yet, don’t miss out!

Juicy from the herb crust right down to the bone. Worth the drive. This little place is a gem, from the real metal flatware to the crunchy creamy fries with skins. Did I mention the Cilantro/Jalepeño, Amarillo, and Rocoto sauces. Someone must have been awake in Culinary school. You can smell the wood fired rotisserie oven from the parking lot. My new must stop on the way to Sky Harbor.
Don’t hesitate - just go get it
