The Tuesday Taco Bar is fabulous! – I don't know how Picosa can afford to be so generous with their taco bar, but I'm glad they are! I had a crispy taco with juicy shredded pork and a yummy soft taco with tender chicken. There was beef too. I couldn't pass up the beans- they were cooked to perfection. I tried both of the soups- they were good. They had salad, fruit, flan and all of the taco fixings too- guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese). All I could eat for only $7.95! If you come between 4 and 7 you also get two for the... read more
Amazing music, dancing and did I say music... – I have had so many amazing nights at Picosa whether it be dancing up a storm, sipping on a drink, or eating dinner. I love the music, beautiful ambiance, convenient parking and the people that gather there are so eclectic and fun! My favorite time to go is the Wednesday night happy hour with DJ Fatty. The music is outstanding, dance floor is jammin?, and it starts early so I can go out, have fun, and get home a reasonable hour. I have spent the last ten years in New York and th... read more
Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere! – Located on the river with a open, airy setup, this Saint Anthony Main restaurant is not just a place to eat, but to have a fun experience. Most of the nights seem to be Latin music which brings a diverse, well mannered crowd, and the dancing is always fun to watch. The staff is friendly and the Sunday buffet is plentiful, tasty, and cheap! The perfect environment to be a 'regular.'
Just Read! – I have been to picosa on Fridays and recently started going on tuesdays, I will admit that the events that they have going on is was brought me into that place but I can tell you that I come back for the service and the Food! I know it seems kind of weird that they do a taco bar on tuesday but its well worth the 6 dollars I paid! I can tell you the area they are located in is AMAZING! but dead with life I think some people have forgotten about Main St. I'm always trying to bring my friend on the other side of th... read more
Yummy Appetizers and Great Service – So I have been to Picosa many times and each time I have been there they always have had a great environment. The drinks were made very well and the food was so yummy. Friday and saturday nights are so much fun they have a live band with great music. The waiters were very knowledgeable on the specials and what they recommend for newcomers that I was with. All I have to say is if your looking for a great time and great food go to Picosa!!!
more than just food – The hostess belonged at Friday's with LOTS of pieces of flar4e; she really didn't fit the lounge-y atmosphere they were trying to achieve. Our waitress had an odd demeanor, but was perfectly competent, although when my husband asked for a wine recommendation, she said, "I don't know, I'm not good at pairings," At least she was being honest....? The specialties and entrees were fabulous, but the side dishes were very bland and unimpressive. Overall atmosphere was lovely. They have salsa dancing lessons a... read more
Horrible Service – I have been to the restaurant a few times and the service has gotten from ok to worse. I kept going hoping it got better because I like frequenting Latino style restaurants. So it really pains me to tell folks to stay away form here.
Business response:

I will listen and we as a team, will work on your concerns immediately. Customer service is something we work on every day and take serious.
Don't waste your time – My husband and I went to Picosa's last night. What a huge disappointment. We were greeted by a very loud, high pitched, "oh so cutsie" in your face greeter (kind of a turn off right there), who couldn't decide if she should walk us 20 steps to our table, or if the hostess or a server passing by should. I had requested outside seating (which hadn't been noted) and again was met by a huge disappointment. The "huge" patio does not overlook the falls area or downtown Minneapolis. You can barely see either... read more
WORST FOOD EVER – Went there for a lunch with some business colleauges, and I knew the minute I walked in.......it was going to be bad. It was lunchtime and the only thing available was the buffet. Not one thing on that lunch buffet was edible.........it was easiest the worst food I have ever eaten. DISGUSTING! The chicken, beef and pork for the tacos was so tasteless and bland and the salsa was just as bad. I was disappointed with the whole experience, and I will never go back or recommend this to friends. As far as the ser... read more
