Riko Peruvian Cuisine, formerly known as Pio Pio Riko, opened its second Sunnyside restaurant yesterday.
The new restaurant is located at 43-22 Queens Blvd. and is smaller than its more prominent establishment at 45-23 Greenpoint Ave.
The Queens Boulevard restaurant has five tables and 10 seats and is geared toward takeout.
The menu is almost identical to that of the Greenpoint Avenue restaurant, which is best known for its rotisserie chicken, seafood and its rice and beans.
Riko’s primary location
“We get a lot of lines where we are now,” the owner, who didn’t want to disclose her name, told the Sunnyside Post in October. She said that the new location would draw some of its existing customers as well as new ones given its Queens Boulevard location.
Riko has taken over the space formerly occupied by Dj’s Pawn Shop, which closed during the first half of 2015.
Riko’s Queens Boulevard location is the fourth Riko restaurant, with other operations located in Jamaica and Manhattan.
