" I was really looking forward to trying their famous breakfast burrito. While the taste was decent, it was rather small for the price. Plus, the service was slower than expected on a weekday morning. I'll give it another shot, but it hasn't won me over just yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! I've tried El Picosito multiple times and they continue to impress me. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful. I recently tried the Pozole and it blew me away! The prices are fair, so you can enjoy a good meal without breaking the bank. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place specializes in tacos, and let me tell you, they are phenomenal. The flavors are spot-on, reminding me of what my grandma used to make. I have made it a point to try every taco they offer! Prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is casual, which I enjoy. Would definitely recommend to anyone craving authentic bites. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m definitely returning to El Picosito! The burritos are huge, and I’m a fan of their chipotle salsa. However, you should definitely come with an appetite! The staff is friendly, but on my recent visit, there were some long wait times given how packed they were. Still, that should speak volumes about how good the food is! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Picosito is an experience in itself! The first time I walked in, I was greeted with wonderful decor that enhances the authentic Mexican vibe. You can't go wrong with any of their burritos; I particularly love the wet burrito with green salsa. It's filling, and the flavors are incredible! Just a heads up, the place only accepts cash, so plan accordingly. The staff is warm and friendly! It feels like family. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Picosito has been my favorite spot for casual dining for years! The service is always friendly, and they make you feel welcomed. Their birria tacos are a must-try, and you'll leave satisfied every time! The place can get loud, but it’s the heartbeat of a great dining experience. Don't forget to save room for dessert because the flan is heavenly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've noticed a decline in service recently. It used to be quicker, but last time my order took ages to arrive. On the plus side, the tacos still rock! If you can look past the wait, you'll have a tasty meal on your hands. They just need to sort out their speed. " (*Curated Review*)
