El Nuevo Pio Pio Cafe — Restaurant in Hialeah Gardens

Located in a cozy corner in Hialeah. Taste of the Caribbean offers an authentic Dominican dining experience that brings the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean to your plate. This small, family-owned restaurant is a hidden gem, where the warmth of the staff and owner is matched only by the richness of the food.

Served with a side of succulent shrimp in a rich garlic sauce, it captures the essence of Dominican comfort food. The pollo guisado, a traditional stewed chicken, is tender and infused with a robust blend of spices, served alongside rice and beans that perfectly complement the dish.
