Thank you for being such a great host! – Having this new restaurant in the neighborhood has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We recently had a Stepper Set hosted here and the owner could not have been more accommodating! I hadn't tried the food yet, but having enjoyed myself as much as I did I will be back!
Expensive, Mediocre Food and Poor Management – We get together with friends that worked together years ago for dinner on a regular basis. Each time we try a different restaurant. We made reservations at Picosa for Saturday evening on the patio with a clear understanding that if it was cold or wet, we could move inside. The person who took our reservations for 8 people assured us that there would be no problem accommodating our request. When we arrived at 8pm, we learned there was a wedding reception. The staff could only sea... read more
Last week for happy hour. 9/7/07 – Been reading how excellent the service is at Picosa however we didn't experience it. Sat and waited forever. The poor young waite staff seemed to be doing their best but it was obvious that they couldn't come close to keeping up, why?, well I didn't understand until I passed the bar on my way to the rest room. The waite staff were mixing their own drinks, not a barender in sight. Now I know that it been tough for the owner, Lindell Mendoza to keep up with his new place but I've also hear he... read more
Horrible food, incompetent service – I dine out at least once a week in Minneapolis, and I can say that Picosa is easily the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Had (what they called) sea bass. I'm not sure what kind of fish it really was, but it was awful: there was not 1 piece of fish, there were several that were fused together. And it was extremely greasy, which was very odd. I ate only about 1/3 of the meal, and the server did not even ask if there was a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if they get so many complaints ... read more
good food, good people, good location, good drinks... – it really is amazing how people's experiences differ... i have been to picosa's serveral times and have yet to be disappointed. the employees are fun, professional and aim to please (i asked for "this on the side" and "that not too spicey" and was gladly accommodated). the outdoor patio is great, but the inside decor is not lacking, either. would be great to see more people here enjoying the food, drinks (daily specials include $4 monday mojitos & $4 friday margaritas- ... read more
Not the worst service ever; but close. – It's so sad when you go to a restaurant excited to drop a considerable amount of money on a nice dinner with your muse, and then you are terribly disappointed by the service. We went there on a Friday night and I was shocked so see that there was almost no one sitting inside and the patio was only half full (on St. Anthony Main, this is unheard of). This was only after I had called to see if I needed reservations and the manager on the phone (Jennifer) acted as though she was doing me... read more
We had so much fun! – On a recent visit to Minneapolis we checked out Picosa's. So glad we did! The food (we had the tasty crab and shrimp masa, the mild yet flavorful mahi mahi with pineapple salsa, and the tender skirt steak) was delicious and the service amazing. We felt like they really cared about our experience. Don't forget to try the fruit nachos for dessert- unique and yummy. Bob & Mari Chicago, IL
Simply terrible – Teerible. Feel sorry for the owners as this place is going down in a few months. Food is almost as bad as the service. They would be better off closing down sooner to save for their retirement. Food lacks any flavor and seems confused.There were only a handful of people onthe weekend night and at one point more servers than guests. Please ..Please minneapolis deserves better.
Editorial Review – Serving delicious Caribbean and Spanish dishes, this downtown locale spices things up with live entertainment and late night dancing.
