" A hidden gem! The tacos here are genuinely authentic; every bite is full of flavor. The salsas they offer are also a great touch. I appreciate that it’s family-owned and operated, so you can taste the love in each dish. Just keep in mind to bring enough cash! It’s worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visit El Picoso often because they serve up some of the best tacos in town. The lengua tacos are especially good. The meat is tender, and you can taste how fresh the ingredients are. While the outside might not look like much, the food more than makes up for it. Be ready with cash though, or use their ATM which has a fee. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I love coming here for dinner. They have the best carne asada tacos in town. My kids even enjoy their menu! It’s a little run-down but very cozy. The no-card policy can be a hassle, but it’s great food, so we always find a way to pay. I won't be changing our routine anytime soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is just okay to me. The food is average, and there's nothing special to it. My burrito was decent, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best Mexican food I’ve had. It was a bit pricey compared to other spots. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back, but not at the top of my list. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner at El Picoso last night, and I was impressed by the ridiculously good flavors! The enchiladas suizas were packed with cheese and served with a side of crema that really added richness. The atmosphere was casual, which I liked for a relaxing meal. The only downside is the wait—definitely worth it, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really hoping for a great meal here, but my experience fell short. My order of the carne asada was disappointing, as it was overcooked and lacked flavor. Plus, when I brought it up to the staff, the customer service was lacking. I wanted to love this place because I had heard great things about it, but I left feeling let down. I'll probably skip it on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this restaurant, but my meal didn’t meet my expectations. The tacos were good but they weren’t as flavorful as I'd hoped. The environment felt cramped, and the service was pretty average. Not sure if I’ll rush back here. " (*Curated Review*)
