hi. i have only been to NYC once and i ate at pio pio. i cant stop thinking about it years later. My mom frequents NYC and goes there.......... she asked them what they put in the green sauce and they also mentioned "avacados". may be your missing ingredient?? i am currently looking up all i can on this to see if i can recreate. but pio pio is so good i think it might be next to impossible to do. But i found that the "aji" sauce might have avacados (according to a worker at pio pio...... and looking at other recipes elsewhere they use/............. lettuce, jalpenos, onions, cilantro, garlic, lemon, oil or mayo,........ IF YOu or anyone lese find out more let us know!! i am going to try it with avacado and see what turns up.
