No Combos – They have no combination plates on the menu, such as a combination of beef taco, cheese enchilada, chili con questo, etc. Plus, their prices are too high.

Craving for Beef – When I get a craving for beef I head to Pico's and order the Huasteca. It's always cooked the way I want it, and served with queso flameado, pico de gallo, and guacamole, it makes the perfect tacos. During the Spring and Fall I like to go in the evening and sit outside by the fountain. The mariachis here play without brass instruments, so they can entertain without deafening the diners.

consistant cravings – I've been eating here since early '90's and never been disappointed yet for evening or breakfasts. The house specialty entrees are worth a visit -- better than HUGO's in my opinion. If you think the location isnt that safe, please note that there's a watchman out in the parking lot. The owner seems to always be there, so everyone is working hard to please. I was hoping the sale of the next door real estate would enable PICO'S to have a nicer outdoor venue, but still having to eat in a parking lot when t... read more

BEST EVER - Don't need to look any further – This is a GREAT restaurant. Since I started going here I have never stopped and I have never had a meal that wasn't good. The service is spectacular. the food is fresh, the variety is great. This is NOT like those other "hit & miss" restaurants or those others that attract "only the in-crowd" but whose food is less then desirable. This is a great restaurant that you can feel comfortable coming with your family, or work friends or even a date. The outdoor patio is fun and romantic.... read more

REAL Mexican food – We've gone here since moving to Houston in the mid-80s. The cochinita pibil is to die for, the service is great and Armando is a heck of a nice guy. We are from Mexico City and not being foreced to eat some type of greasy, cheese-covered "mexican food" is a treat!

Fabulous Caterer! – I had to plan a party celebrating my husband's birthday while working in Africa. I was able to arrange a lovely buffet meal for 30 that not only included fabulous food but also delivery, set up (with decorations), service, packing leftovers, and clean up. Arnaldo and his staff made it possible for me to enjoy our guests.

My go-to Mexican Restaurant – I am told by friends and family that I can cook. I do not go out for Mexican food unless it is to Pico's. I was taught to cook by my Mother and aunts. Pico's food is well prepared, use quality ingredients and they have sustained high standards. I recommend!!
