Pio Pio 2
84-02 Northern Blvd., (718) 426-4900. $$$.
This well-known, popular spot for Peruvian cuisine has many locations around New York City. Here, Pio Pio 2 operates in an airplane-hangar-size room. Well, not quite, but it is BIG. Sangria is reputedly very good, especially the white version, but I favor the Pisco sour cocktail. Many large groups come here, and ordering family-style is encouraged. A good choice is the Matador Combo, which has been known to feed a family of four--it includes a whole rotisserie chicken, salchipapa (hot dogs on top of french fries), avocado salad, saffron rice, red beans, and tostones. Camarones Cuzco features shrimp in a creamy aji amarillo sauce. Paella, filet mignon, and several ceviches are also options. Aji verde green sauce is complimentary and seems to go with everything.
