We sat outdoors, beautiful sunny morning watching the little birds by the water fountain. Everyone was nice from the moment we walked in. And I am happy the staff can wear masks to protect themselves, their families & others during the COVID surge & flu season. Amazing food; I had the tequila shrimp omg sooooo good & the flour tortillas yummy so much flavor in every bite!!! Service was above & beyond, Thank you Tonya, you are an amazing waitress. BTW my son loved his to go grilled fish tacos & tortilla soup, he's feeling better, thank you. Next time he will be able to enjoy a family meal at your restaurant:-) Thank you Casa De Pico, we will be back; stay well for your families & us, we are Grateful for you & your restaurant!
I gave a great review for, Yesenia, the talented waitress that served us yesterday and wanted to add a rave review for Bryan. He was setting up some tables for a large group and was doing so with such attention to detail I thought for sure he was a manager. I asked him his name so I could write a review and he writes down Bryan Busboy!!! I was shocked but am pretty sure he'll be a manager someday ‼
One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while! I ordered - Shrimp & fish taco: Super fresh & delicious! The portion size was huge & it also came with Mexican rice & black beans. They also sing to you for your birthday so that was a nice touch but overall I loved the vibe and all the culture this place brings to the area.
Our server (Manuel) was excellent and well attentive. The food was also excellent and unfortunately we filled up in the chips. They had live music tonight which added to the experience. Couple of areas to point out: - The guacamole that came with the dishes was good, a bit more salt but still quite good. - The carnitas was a bit dry, would have been nice to have had the sauce poured over. Once you put their salsa on it, it was better. Highly recommend this place, looks like they take pride in the ppl they hire and their service.
We met here to celebrate my cousins birthday. It's a nice size restaurant with a ton of personality. Each order was huge, everyone took something home! Considering the prices it makes it worth it. I split the mole with mom (spicy) and nachos (grilled chicken) either dad. Both were really yummy and despite 3 of splitting the dishes it's amazing we had to go bags! My cousins also enjoyed their dishes. Mom liked the presentation of the good. Only thing a little off was the guacamole which was chunky but not all that flavorful. In all we had a good time and overall the food was good! Even dad was happy!
Why do I not go here more often??? Food- had the enchiladas ranchero, chile rellenos, tacos, fabulouso Mexican favorite, something else, and chips and salsa. All of it was absolutely tasty. The salsa was so good I ordered a tub to go. Love that the refried beans had some whole pieces in it. And the use of the tortilla as a bowl for the rice and beans...brilliant!!! Strawberry and lime margaritas were very good. Service- top notch. There were very attentive and worked really well together. Everyone helped everyone and it seemed they have plenty of servers working. Ambiance- love the decor. It was great for my six year old. She loved looking at all the decorations. Seriously, really great place. Prices were very reasonable as well.
In general, the food here is great. If you have a chance to catch the right time when they have the mariachis here, then request a song and enjoy! Food here is always great as well. Gotta take in consideration, most Mexican places can only deliver on one. Good food or good margarita. This place hits both on good. For my personal taste, go with the Cadillac margarita. Much better than the Patron.
My sister and I have met for lunch here over the pass couple year and the service has always been quick and efficient! We were seated promptly, provided with chips and salsa and placed our drink order. Our waitress was friendly, and checked on us often during our meal. I ordered the street tacos: two chicken, two carnitas with beans. They were delicious. This restaurant has great atmosphere and festive decorations. 2024(4)
