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:
Hello I'm Jennifer Mendoza one of the owners of Picosa. I am sorry our service "has gotten from ok to worse" for you. I would very much appreciate you contacting me, as the details of your visit would be greatly appeciated by me, as well as the staff here. 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
WARNING! – Drinks generous; food disgusting/ inedible; party room foul with kitchen smoke; service third world; management haughty/ unresponsive. Conclusion: Chef returned to culinary school, management retrained in customer relations = restaurant should close.
GREAT breakfast brunch – We tried this restaurant for something different, using a gift certificate, and we really enjoyed it. We've only been there for breakfast, but it was VERY good. Service was pleasant, atmosphere was pleasant, and we loved the food, especially the made-to-order omelets. I can't speak for dinner or evening, but we really enjoyed it for a Sunday brunch!!
Lackluster food and environment - don't bother going – Ate here recently as part of a group of 20 for a business dinner so menu was fixed. Salad could have come out of a bag from your local Cub supermarket. Strip steak was virtually inedible (so I was told), I had the veggie burrito which was fried and totally laking in taste). Desert for a table of 7, consisted of sharing several micro-sized pastries that were about as latin as chicken chow mien Service was mostly attentive but with a total number of 40 diners, it should be... read more
Go somewhere else to eat – We had a group of 6. We waited for over 1.5 hours for our main dishes. When the food arrived it was cold two sent their meal back to be heated. One meal was so greasy that it was unable to be eaten. They offered to take half off for the meal. After talking with the manager the entire meal was removed. We had 5 different meals. We have told many friends to not go there to eat. They have a nice dance floor - enjoy the dancing and drinks.
