" I love coming here for their menudo! It reminds me of my childhood and always hits the spot. The ambiance is casual, and the staff is always friendly, making you feel like family. Their fresh salsa is great too! If you get a chance, do not skip on the horchata. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really good food, but the establishment is quite small. I sometimes find it hard to grab a seat during lunch hours. However, their fish tacos are incredible, and I always feel satisfied after a meal here. Staff is friendly, but occasionally a bit overwhelmed. Perfect if you're looking for authentic cuisine! " (*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*)
