Go once and you'll keep going forever – Love the ambience, the seafood enchiladas (too die for and enough for 2), always interesting specials and the best softshell crab in the country. The shaker margaritas are great. And I love a great margarita. Ask about their new bakery. Jan

Spinach enchiladas – Pico's uses fresh spinach--not mushy canned--almonds and wonderful cheeses. None better!

ABSOLUTELY GREAT MEX-MEX – Superb mexican style sauteed calamari, the best spinach enchillada's in town and their soft shell crabs are enough to get my taste buds on a roll just thinking of them. My biggest problem is making a decision. The regular margarita's are better than most places and they also serve "I had a hard day" ones. Joining the e-mail list is a nice plus that keeps Pico's a step ahead of the rest. The mariachi's add an authentic atmosphere when entertaining out-of-state guests. Have had several successful bus... read more

Great Food – I am a Rice University Professor. Recently I held a meeting on the Rice campus consisting of about 25 people from all over the country and a good representation from Southern California. We went to Pico's in a small bus for dinner.You served us Parilla Mixta family style. The food, was excellent and fairly priced. The service was excellent and there was a a good atmosphere. I found it interesting that the California visitors who are so proud of their California Mexican food, stated that they were truly surprised... read more

The best in Houston – This is the finest place for authentic Mexican food in Houston. They have a HUGE selection of quality tequilas and the best margaritas you will ever taste. I dare anyone to find a better soft shell crab and the nightly specials are always creative and delisious. You will not be disappointed by choosing Pico's.

You've got to be kidding.....CHEAP EATS???? No Way – Pico's is a great restaurant and they have excellent food, the service sometimes can be slow, but the food is always good. Not Tex-Mex, not meant to be. The seafood is excellent, but it's not cheap; nor or the margaritias.

Used to be good, but not anymore!!! – I have been going to Pico's for many many years, and in the past 3 or so years, it has really gone down the drain! The prices have sky rocketed and their egos are MUCH too big for thier service, food, value, and drinks. The margaritas are good, but not worth the price. They won awards for them, but i think since then they have changed them a little, and no longer taste like the award winning drinks they once were. The food also has gone down the drain. You can tell the meat is not as goo... read more

Horrible, horrible service. Overpriced bland food. Not so great margaritas. Pretty much sums it up. My wife REALLY wanted to go there for her birthday. She was incredibly excited even though the last time she went there and asked for a refill on her diet coke the waiter brought to her in the 64 oz margarita glass and told her "That should hold you". But she had been there on an occasion or two and really liked their margaritas and wanted to try them again. So we went. Bad idea. We got seated really quickly. Excellent. Waited... read more

Don't waste your time – Four of us went for lunch there a few weeks ago on the recommendations here. Only ONE person could eat their food. We all got a variety of things and they were all consistently awful. It was a rainy day and there was only one other group in the entire restaurant. The service was so slow, we were ignored for the longest time. It took quite a long time for the food to come out too. The red salsa was great but they got mad when you asked for another basket of chips. After one bite of my beef fajitas, I j... read more
