Pio Pio 6

Operating in New York since 1994, this Peruvian outpost centers its menu on Mama Juanita's rotisserie recipe. Beyond the spit-roasted birds, the kitchen turns out Arroz Chaufa—Peruvian-style fried rice loaded with bean sprouts, scallions, and soy sauce—and empanadas stuffed with shredded chicken and whole olives. For midday diners, a popular lunch special bundles a quarter-chicken with sides, fresh salad, and a drink. The service is brisk, the portions are generous, and the meals pair naturally with a passion fruit margarita.
