Pio Chicken — Restaurant in Mayagüez

Food tastes good but looks terrible.

So Pio Chicken, located in front of the Burger King/Church's Chicken hybrid. Is it good? Kind of.

First off, the service is good. Decent and friendly.

When I first saw them preparing my food, and saw that pale white slab of meat next to the watery beans, I said to myself: "Dear god, that looks like cr#p..."

The "chicharrones" are odd bony balls of meat that are honestly more bone than meat. You would think they'd be whole meat, like, maybe chicharron de pollo literally everywhere else? It's weird.

I originally gave them 5 stars, but I think 4 stars is better suited.

Prices are cheap on first inspection, but actually a little high for the portions. Basically, pay little, eat little.

Honestly with slightly bigger portions, and better food appearance, Pio would be amazing.

Generally, while I would prefer this place over any fast food nearby, it's not cheap, and the food isn't winning any beauty competitions...

Excellent customer service. However, they advertise themselves as the "world's greatest chicken". This is a gross misrepresentation, if not, misleading. Don't get me wrong. I understand it's a marketing device. Still, if you're going to advertise as serving the best chicken in the world, there should be some standard of goodness that must be met. Something in the likes of chick FIL a, Bojangles, Raising cane's, etc. Those have seriously great chicken. To be honest, when I tried their fried chicken, it felt cheap and miniscule. It was like a tiny version of Chinese fried chicken. If this is the best chicken in the world, I don't want to know what's worst. Sorry, but you can't get five stars just for...

I ate here yesterday with my family and the food was delicious. All of our orders were complete and the food was very tasty. Also, the service was amazing, the mall didn’t have water service but Pio still made it work. The aesthetic of the place is also very pretty and cozy. 10/10, would absolutely recommend!
