"Atención express... Como ahí cuando tengo poco tiempo y mucha hambre, la ubicación es estrategica y el servicio es muy bueno, solo me molesta el tema de los domicilios, se demoran mucho y son poco eficientes con los pedidos, pero es entendible por el flujo comercial del restaurante. Pio Pio es la muestra del emprendimiento empresarial de la ciudad de Popayán."

"Es un muy buen lugar para comer pollo o chuleta, como todos los pio pio de la ciudad. La atención es muy esmerada y el tiempo de espera es breve. Hace falta espacio para parquear, por eso si usted va en carro debe dejarlo en otro lado."
