Everything is bad – Bad service and the drinks are not good. I would not recommend that anyone eat there. The food has no flavor and it takes forever to get served. It is also too expensive with small portions and it is not authentic "Mexican" cuisine. The DJ was just bad. If thats what is a DJ is - anyone with an Ipod that plugs into speakers could do it. Also - the staff was unfriendly and they didnt offer us anything for the inconveniences we went through trying to oreder drinks, food, etc... The valet guys were great tho... read more
Very, very bad experience – This place was truly unbelievable, cool location and atmosphere, worst service ever! The lack of service completely took away from what would have been a fun night. Every time I needed WATER, I had to ask three times. I asked twice for a beer, only to have to go the bar eventually to actually get it done. Our food was served two hours after we ordered it. Fried plaintains? I'd rather have doritos. The entree itself was reasonably good, but I would never, EVER go back here based on the service, cru... read more
Try it, eat it, love it! – I work down the street from Picosa's, and while I agree with some of the reviewers that the prices seem a bit high for some of the menu items, I am still impressed with all of the food I've had at this restaurant. I've never had problems with the service, and everyone who works there is more than willing to talk to you, give you pointers, tell you what they like and don't like on the menu, and generally get to know you. I think patience is something which quite a few people lack when going to resta... read more
Been there twice, two times too many - BE CAREFUL if you eat here! – The first time I went there to eat, I was unimpressed with the food, especially for the price. Then there was cause for concern - a tablemate of mine had ordered Fish Tacos, only to start pulling fish bones from her mouth. Not only was this unexpected from a "high end" restaurant, it was DANGEROUS. The second time I went was to their new lunchtime buffet. I thought, at least I'm choosing my own food and I will see if something is bad... and was wrong. There... read more
Great place for large parties! – This restaurant is perfect for large parties! Spacious bar & dining area with a private area in back for those VIP's when their in town! The staff genuienly cares about this place & it shows through their service.
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
