La Picosa

Mexican Restaurant $ 3.6 (146)


La Picosa is widely lauded for its authentic Mexican dishes, with many customers noting that the flavors remind them of traditional home-cooked meals. The cash-only policy is a common point of mention, as is the restaurant’s less than ideal English-speaking options. Overall, it is regarded as a hidden gem with a familial atmosphere and a deep commitment to authentic preparation methods.

" I’m torn about my experience here. While I loved that the food was authentic and flavorful, the ambiance left something to be desired. The tables were a bit sticky and the menus are only in Spanish, which made ordering complicated for me. That said, the staff was friendly once I managed to explain my order. The tacos were decent, not the best I've had. I might give it another try, but there are definitely areas to improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little spot for hearty Mexican eats! The flavors are on point, and the meals are plentiful. I tried the burrito and was impressed by the generous fillings. Remember to bring cash, which can be a hassle, but it's worth it for the food. Great place to enjoy with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting La Picosa truly made my day! My family and I tried a selection of tacos and burritos. The flavors were robust and unlike anything I've tasted in a modern fusion restaurant. However, we hit a snag with the cash only policy as we had to find an ATM, which was inconvenient. The portion sizes were generous, but a bit loud inside. Still, I can't recommend their lentils enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had several meals at La Picosa and while the food is good, I do think it lacks a special touch that makes a place great. The service can be hit or miss; on my last visit, I felt ignored at times. That being said, I appreciate the family-friendly aspect and the cash-only policy reminds me of home-style eateries. " (*Curated Review*)

" Want authentic Mexican flavor? La Picosa is the place! I've never experienced a better taco, and I've definitely eaten my fair share at various places. The only downside is that the crowded condition means there's little space for comfort, but the food more than makes up for that! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Picosa won't win awards for decor, but the heart of their food is simply undeniable. I tried the pozole and my taste buds exploded in delight! Make sure you try the weekly specials for an extra treat. Prepare yourself for cash payments, but it's worth it! Excited to visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this hidden gem! The lengua tacos are within the best I've ever had, and the handmade tortillas are such a treat. I also appreciated the ambiance—it was simple yet charming. Be cautious about your cash supply though. I spent a lovely evening without feeling rushed, which was a nice change! Definitely going back soon. " (*Curated Review*)
