Profile

The Upper West Side has lost one Peruvian restaurant but gained another: Realizing that few can resist the allure of rotisserie chicken, the owners of Sipan have redone their restaurant as the fifth branch of Pio Pio (below), the popular Peruvian chainlet. The menu is more or less the same as the other Pio Pios: A $30.50 Matador Combo (a whole well-marinated rotisserie chicken, rice and beans, tostones, avocado salad, and a giant pile of fries topped with sliced hot dogs) is enough food to feed a small Peruvian army. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Great food. Entree portions are a great size. Very good for groups...my family loves this place. We have gone for a number of different occasions. Jelea and sangria are awesome.

La comida es buena, pero la atenciÃ³n es pÃ©sima. Los camareros, sucios y sudorosos, prÃ¡cticamente te botan para que entre mÃ¡s gente y puedan recibir mÃ¡s propinas. No lo recomiendo.
