Cash only - seems authentic, they had the news on in Spanish :) I ordered steak street tacos to go - the beef was a bit dry but the corn tortillas and hot sauce were really good. The red sauce is very spicy! I will go again but maybe during a busier day and hope the beef will be more tender. read more

La Picosa - Carnita Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My partner and I visited on a slow Friday afternoon. We ordered four chicken, one steak, and one carnita taco with grilled onions. The chicken and steak tacos were seasoned well but the carnitas lacked a lot of flavor. It was mostly fat. They don't double the tortilla and it's not cooked crispy so it gets soggy quickly. The winner of the meal were the sauces. The green and red sauces both had different flavors and the right amount of heat. They do need to clean up better here. There was one other person eating inside but the resisting itself was dirty. I wouldn't mind visiting again if the cleanliness improved. read more

Visiting Dallas and wanted some real Mexican food. We aren't from Texas so we know that Tex-Mex food is ... well, not really what we would say real Mexican food. Not bashing on it, but no, that's not Mexican food. I found this place on good ol' Yelp and paid them a visit. It was definitely what I was looking for and more. It doesn't look like much outside and when we got there, it looked like it was closed. We went and checked the door and it was open. We went in and ordered different items from the menu. Some of us got the chilaquiles, some red, and I ordered the green ones (green always wins in my book). I have to say that the green ones had a spicy kick to them. I got a taste of the red ones and didn't taste spicy at all. I knew I made the right choice. I tore that plate up. I also had a taco de adobada/pastor and that was also good. The meat had a good flavor. By the time we finished eating, they were busy both with people eating there and people picking up food. I think if they took cards (they're cash only), they would definitely increase their business. Sometimes its a drag to go to the ATM first and then go eat, but I gotta say, if you are thinking of this place, do it! go to the ATM and go order some food. read more

The food, flavor and attention to customer remind me of being at my Mexican parent's home: humble spot, solid good food (I had the 4-chicken flautas plate with rice and beans), and best of all--the attention! The sincere cashier/waitress served with a smile. She gave me 4oz samples of LEGIT fresh cantaloupe and horchata drinks: I got the awesome cantaloupe. I would definitely come back to try the 40 item menu and weekend-only made specials: pozole and menudo. 5 stars for the service, four stars for the food... I round up for them! read more

La Picosa - My last chicken flauta (most gone before remembering to post) - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Undercooked tacos, bad customer service, and wrong order. Asked for flour tacos, got corn then refused to fix order and instead wanted to charge me extra for what I actually ordered. Get home and see how undercooked the tacos are and give them a call the same lady answers and when I mention the problem she shifts blame and says "that's not us, we haven't made any order for pick up" so I say ok, apologize and look for the "right" number to find out that I called the right number when she answers again and says it wasn't them I assure them it was then when I ask if I can go get the incorrect items fixed she just says "no". After arguing she eventually caved in saying they don't do that but they'll change it this time and never again. I mentioned You wouldn't have to change anything if you had done it right the first time. I was a little rude because I got upset at how she handled the issue, very poor customer service. Bad food. Definitely better service and food at a gas station taco place. read more

La Picosa - the meat and vegetables on the foil - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The best tacos in the area imo! Now I'm no taco guru, but I've had Fuel City tacos and I am in love with them already . For this area, it's hard to find great tasting authentic tacos , so I was glad my bf introduced me to this place . The chicken and beef tacos are pure goodness ! I wouldn't say it's Fuel City status, but pretty darn close . Or to be honest, they may be running neck and neck. You be the judge . Service is decent as your food is made to order . The customer service is nice . You can watch the novela while waiting . Worth a try ! read more

The best breakfast tacos I've ever had, and I have tried many taco places coming from San Antonio. Credit goes to the cute girl at the front that made them. I will be back to try the other tacos. If the barbacoa tacos are good, this will be my go to when I come to visit Dallas. read more

La Picosa - Chorizo egg and cheese breakfast tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Authentic tacos that aren't overly seasoned. The carne asada tacos were fantastic. Great "hole in the wall" find.

Was in the mood for something different and out of the norm saw this place driving by in the neighborhood never noticed it. Checked the reviews and gave it a try. It was the best authentic Mexican that I have ever had. I had the chicken fajita plate with rice and beans my husband had a beef burrito. Both portions were large I could only eat half my plate. Enough jalapeno that it was hot without being overwhelming. I poured the red sauce all over everything. Down size was that they don't speak English and the menu is all in Spanish and you have to navigate by photos and the words you can recognize. I had cash since I read the reviews and was aware although yes somewhat inconvenient. Will be back though soon. read more

La Picosa - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Everything was delicious, would come back and everything was fresh and homemade. Coffee was delicious and good service, would come back.

Perfect Barbacoa tacos! Cash only. Searched yelp specifically for street tacos near Addison. Came up with this spot and decided to give it a try. It's in the same shopping center as a great Thai spot I recommend as well. It's a small shop, plenty of empty tables to sit down and devour yummy tacos, the booths were mostly worn and ripped. I was there for the food and wasn't bothered by the weathered look of the interior. I already knew what I wanted but I checked out the menu which is above the register with images for every item. Placed my order for 3 barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro, onions, and lime. $5! Love an inexpensive and satisfying lunch. The woman behind the counter handled my order quickly and politely. My tacos came out within a few minutes, served with small bowls of their verde and rojo sauces. I tasted both, preferred the verde but these tacos didn't need any sauce so I passed on adding any. After a good squeeze of lime over each taco, it took no time for me to put away all 3 tacos. Very tender barbacoa, juicy with the right amount of fat in the meat. Paired with the onions & cilantro with the burst of citrus from the lime and these tacos hit the spot. Simple, tasty, and exactly what I came for. I am basing this review strictly on the food I ordered and service I received. Can't speak to anything else on the menu, but I will be going back again the next time I get the craving for authentic street tacos. Possibly check out their huaraches! read more

La Picosa - Tender & juicy barbacoa tacos!!! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

For being Mexican American, I hate to say this but this place is gross...from the food that they serve to the dead roaches on their menu. I'm very disappointed. read more

I have such a hard time giving taco shops 5 stars. Being from Southern California, the Mexican food is just different here in Texas. This place was really good though. I opted for breakfast and got the chilaquiles plate. The flavor was really great and the portion was enormous! They served it with two different salsas... a red and green. Both, very delicious with just a touch of heat but not too much. The rice was just okay but the beans were very good! I also ordered a tinga taco. The taco was good. Not spectacular but the price was right. I would definitely come here again especially for the plates. They give you a TON of food! The restaurant itself is a little rundown but who says you have to eat it there. If you choose, the servers are very nice! Good food, decent price! read more

One of the most authentic places I've been! Really really well done chicken and pork tacos, but they only accept cash. Ask for a variety of sauces, really enjoyed this place. Also..they offer dvd rentals if you are into that sort of thing. read more

No bueno. I stopped by because I was craving authentic Mexican food. Which they advertise. There was one person working and my food was out in 7 minutes. That was fast. Too fast. I doubt it was cooked to order. My food was dry so that tells me it was reheated. They have too big a menu to be consistent and to have all that meat and ingredients fresh. Nasty. Not going back. read more

Went by this place cause it's so close to my apartment. Ordered a couple of carne asada tacos to go. I've been to a few other places since moving out here. This joint is not one I will be returning to. The asada was burnt/crispy and lacked flavor. Don't get me wrong, this place will do for many in a pinch. However, being from California has spoiled me a bit. I guess until I find a good place I'll just have to get my fix whenever I go home to Cali. read more

Ordered street tacos (chicken & beef). They were a bit on the bland side which was unexpected. Service is quick however they only except cash. Not a bad place for a quick stop and a snack but I wouldn't depend on this place to satisfy a tasty taco craving! read more

This Mexican place is the best ethnic Mexican in town. I even order breakfast egg tacos in the morning for my office every few weeks. Everyone goes crazy over them. Highly recommended !!! read more

This place has THE BEST Mexican food I've had in Dallas so far. Very authentic, no Tex-Mex. Today I ordered the Pollo En Salsa Rojo, and it was the bomb!! I have not been able to find good Mole out here in Dallas since I left New Mexico. If you love authentic Mexican food, and you appreciate it, you will love this place. I cannot wait to try the Chilaquiles next! read more

Amazing food Great customer service Be better if they would deliver Who ever read this review Try the guarache with fajita Is amazing beans steak lettuce and sour cream read more

The food is great and authentic. Tip: cash only. I love that it's a family owned business and the people here are pretty friendly. read more

Was so good. The barbacoa and lamb was really good. Would stop at this place again next time I'm in Dallas

I had the barbacoa and fajita corn tacos and they were absolutely amazing! The tacos were very flavorful and had plenty of meat. They give you 2 sauces, a red chile one and a green one. I liked the red one but in my opinion, the tacos taste great with or without the sauce. It is cash only and the staff speaks minimal English FYI. read more

Very good food. Extremely polite staff. They only accept cash though. I will come back as the chicken enchilada was very tasty.

Authentic Mexican cuisine. So delicious. Staff is so sweet, customers are nice. Got enchiladas and quesadillas. So cheap!!!

We had coffee and menudo. Coffee had a cinnamon taste. We loved it. Very authentic. Yummy. We will be back.

Family owned and authentic. The waitress is sweet and attentive. The food is out of this world. I would recommend their chilaquiles plate with salsa verde, ask for the tortillas to be crispy, side of onions and a side order of chorizo. We are here for Christmas and they were open Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I love this place! read more

Terrible! Tacos have no flavor and are super dry. I had to soak them in salsa to eat them. I would have tossed them if I wasn't so hungry. Don't go! read more

Very upset. I've been to this place many times over several years, as I'm only a short drive away. Tacos, burritos, tortas, tostadas, flautas, sopes, enchiladas, huevos....I've had it all here. This visit, while eating my burrito, I almost choked on a bite. I spit it out to discover a substantial piece of plastic wrap twisted up in the burrito filling. How does something like this end up in a handmade burrito? Disgusting and unacceptable. My confidence in this place is completely shot. Sorry, La Picosa, but you and I are probably done. I'm giving 2 stars because of much better past experiences that did not come with plastic wrap in my food. read more

Love this place. Good authentic food. Great place if you want good priced quick food. I come here often.

Had a pastor and barbacoa taco. Definitely homemade but bland. Came with plenty of meat, cheese and a red chile sause on the side. The red chile sauce really had no flavor. Perhaps a lime would have livened the flavor. I did add salt which I rarely do. Was only $3.82 for 2 filling tacos and a diet coke. Menu was in Spanish. Looked like they had quite a selection of huevos. Will try again. read more

This place is one of the best Mexican restaurant in north Dallas. I love this place I probably go here every other day. There enchiladas in green sauce are amazing. Aswell as there fajita quesadilla everything tastes homemade. Plus the price is fare for the amount of food. I would definitely keep going here and will take friends and family. read more

simplicity, itself! no chips & salsa that i could see. lunch. that's all. & what more does anyone want? english limited, but so what? try. be nice. service friendly; you'll be glad you were, too! read more
