Great service , great food would recommend to anyone looking to get some quality food

We were greeted promptly as we walked in. It has open seating. Though we were passing through the place was busy with locals coming in with small parties and large parties. We were served salsa and bean dip with chips as we looked over the large menu selection. Our server was attentive and brought us our water while we read over the many options. The portions are huge and the food was good. One table over the gentleman order a dish that required the chef to come out and use a torch to crisp up the top before putting his seafood on top. It was an impressive demonstration. read more

Please don't come here the food is nasty and they over charge , I bought some menudo which was very expensive for the low quality taste

One of the best my wife and I have had in the area . We've been there before and its always a good experience.

$20 for two tacos... no rice no beans... just two little tacos.... Can you say overcharge much!!!

What an experience to eat here 2 other tables besides the one we were at and they can't get an order right They brought my wife a plate then they came back and said it was wrong took it back to kitchen then brought it out to table beside us then took away from that table back to kitchen then brought back to our table We told them no thanks as this was going down hill quickly. Couldn't tell what it was as it was so over maddened with sauce and refried beans looked like a mess They said mine would be right out but after 10 minute wait and a lot of kitchen discussion heard fajitas sizzlin so that ment they were just getting around to making it Kept my cool and when it finally came it was not worth the waste nor the $40 Will not bother driving to Gustine again read more

The food, service, and ambiance at this small town restaurant are all exceptional!! Great Mexican food at good prices. It's clean, neat, and nicely decorated. We have been here twice in the last month. My only regret is that the servings are so big that I haven't been able to try the fried ice cream dessert!! Maybe next time! read more

El Picosito Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Gustine, California

This restaurant was HIGHLY recommended by some friends. Today a friend & I visited (Saturday) at noon. After enjoying the lava hot delicious salsa, (cleared my sinus right away!) munched away on very fresh chips, along with bean dip that simply disappeared! We had the pleasure of Sebastian (a simply awesome young man, friendly & helpful) giving recommendations & whipping up a mean strawberry margarita! My friend enjoyed her humongous plate of Carne Asada fries, (she needed to bring 2/3 home,) my Carne Asada tacos were very fresh, tender meat, grilled onions & will be ordered again! We had a Chile relleno to go, my husband said it was delicious also. Used ladies room, & was amazed at the cleanliness! Honestly, after visiting I looked closer & the entire restaurant, tables, staff, everything was very clean. Highly recommended! read more

Great food, the staff was great. If you're in Gustine I recommend you stop. My coworker loved his meal, My meal was awesome .

Authentic Mexican food; made in-house. Hand-made tortillas, generous portions. Delicious and reasonably priced. Menu is several pages, with many good vegetarian choices. (The refried beans do have lard, however.) Friendly, efficient service. Very clean. read more

Great Mexican food. Reasonable prices. People who own the business are good people. Taco truck. read more

When I am in town we always go. It's my mother's favorite restaurant. She loves the enchiladas.

The food here is so good and it's super clean. The shrimp are big. It's just so delicious.

Worst Mexican food I ever had, how do you mess up making nachos. The asada was not seasoned plain dry taste in your mouth. Their nachos cheese tasted out of a can no flavor what so ever and they have terrible service constantly forgetting the oder that i had placed making me wait an additional fifth-teen minutes Over all a bad experience won't not recommend.! "$30 Soggy nachos" read more

Service is excellent. Food is excellent. The restaurant is immaculate and the bathrooms are clean. What else can you ask for? Highly recommend. read more

I am highly disappointed with the service to say the least. I have dined at El Picosito several times before my most recent dining experience. Prior to my party's arrival, we called to ensure our party of 7 would still be accepted an hour before closing. We were told that if we arrived 30 minutes before closing, our order would be accepted. Upon arrival, we were met with servers who made us feel like an inconvenience. After we had sat down, a waitress came out and informed us that the owner would not be taking our order, as our party was too big and they'd be closing in 45 minutes. If you're unable to serve people 45 minutes before closing, then you should opt for an earlier closing time. It's false advertisement to claim you're open until 9, if you're unwilling to serve people after 8. We will not be returning. read more

The food is always really good. Tastes amazing and great portions. The service can be better by a few of the waitresses there. They'll watch you sit down and stare at you and talk for 10 minutes before asking you your drinks or even greeting you. They have these fans right over the table and they get the food cold really fast at times. Not a bad place at all. I will definitely still be going back but I hope they can fix the issues. read more

Seth is an awesome waiter!! Fast service and even faster food after you order. Good food! Reasonably priced. read more

The food was great! The service was a little slow but I enjoyed the ambience.. Seems the locals frequent

It's a good restaurant to eat at but the prices are on the higher side. They are pretty fast on making the food. When I have been there the foods seems to be freshly made. read more

Could the manager be any more ruder? So disappointed. Adding an extra star since their food is to die for but wow that service is definitely something! read more

We stopped in here for lunch while out driving around the valley. We were very impressed to find this nice Mexican Restaurant in Gustine! We liked everything about it. The food, service, cleanliness and decor were all very good! Glad to find a stop in a smaller town with such quality. read more

We absolutely love this place it has a fine dining feel with good food and great service.

They got our order wrong and when we asked for it to be fixed and the girl accused us of lying and wanted to re charge me. She was the manager but had very poor customer service skills. Won't be returning. read more

Love this place. Don't expect the best service (i.e. all the one star reviews) but the food is solid. Shrimp a la plancha is my go to and perfect every time! read more

The food here was sooo good. I stopped here as a lunch spot on the way to Los Angeles from Stockton and the food was so incredible. I got the asada nachos and ceviche tostada. The asada was so delicious and well seasoned and the ceviche was fresh. The sever was attentive and nice. I also loved the decor of the restaurant. I will definitely stop by if I'm in town again read more

Expensive and very Americanized. Not worth it. Service was good but the food was bland , and simple. No much to it.

The food and ambiance is very nice for a small town. Food comes out hot and the restaurant and restrooms are clean. We got our food in a short time and when done our to go order came with the check. Try the chili verde pork is very well cooked and flavorful. read more

Ok. We came here because of the reviews. They were not entirely accurate. To start, the salsa was good but hot. I like hot salsa but just so you know this one burns. The beans that come with the chips are good. I recommend you get a canned soda because the fountain drinks tasted like they were made with moldy water. Now the food. I had a chimichanga and it was mediocre at best. It was full of rice and the ratio was off. Hardly any meat inside and what I did get tasted like vinegar. It was pastor. I've had pastor from a lot of places but it never tasted like this. My wife got a tamale, taco, and sopa, all ala carte. The tamale was reminiscent of the canned tamales you may have had as a kid. The taco was ok but the chicken was completely un seasoned and I marinated. The sopa was chewy and the shredded beef had little flavor. This place might be ok if you were really hungry and didn't care what it tastes like. I know that is a far fetched idea, but I wouldn't come back unless I was starving. read more

This place is consistent with food food no matter what I've ordered. Good environment and great food :) we are regulars!

Eaten here lots of times. Like the service. Like most dishes and a few I don't. To each their own taste. I have my favorites so I do like to go there. Nice place for groups. They serve in nice plate settings feels more classy, different from other Mexican restaurant. I recommend this place and enjoy what you like. read more

If I could put a -star I would absolutely put negative ...I am extremely unsatisfied with what I ordered we usually come to Picosito for family PARTYS and get together but never again customer service is horrible... I called to complain the first person got offended with me complaining about my order she then hung up on me I kept calling a gentlemen answered the phone at no moment did he say please let me fix my mistake no he was more worried about me lying about me having no fish in my tacos and prices are expensive for what it is but this is the only place for food honestly in this town read more
