Picasso's is significantly better than we thought it was when we first went during its initial opening. While the menu is more selective I found everything to be far better in taste and how it is cooked! Today we shared the Mediterranean appetizer with hummus and tzatziki. Hummus is smooth and have a tahini forward flavor. My spouse and I both liked it. Tzatziki is exceptional. It is one of my favorite sauces in the world and this is great. Pita was a wonderful texture and taste wise. I ordered the chicken plate. It came out sizzling hot like fajitas traditionally do. The chicken was temperature right out of the oven, juicy and an excellent texture. Couscous on the side was beautifully cooked and had a nice touch of spice to it. The other metal bowl on my platter had a greek village style salad with diced cucumbers, diced red onions and cut in half mini tomatoes. Spouse had a Turkish pizza. The seasoning had a nice spice and kick to it. He enjoyed his meal. Spouse ordered 2 beers on draft. One of the beers was one he had before not on draft and was thrilled to try it on draft as he liked it way more. He was happy with their beer on draft selection. When deciding whether to choose the birthday or neapolitan cake we asked the gentleman at the register which he thought was better or more special. He recommended Neapolitan. It was absolutely perfect and delicious! I have never had a cake quite like it. Would totally choose it again! Very happy with the food, quality, temperature, texture and juiciness. All far surpasses it previously. Will return very soon. FYI they can only take cash tips so bring some cash. They do not take credit card, nor do they have a QR code for Venmo, PayPal, Cash App or Zelle. read more

We had such a yummy dinner @picasso_mediterranean tonight! They just had their grand re- opening this week, and it did not disappoint. The trio dip was only $4 and so tasty. Matt got the beef nachos - only feedback was that all the toppings were on top so the bottom chips had nothing. The kids shared the chicken tenders and Mexican rice. I had the chicken platter with couscous and salad. Wow, that chicken was so juicy and moist. The hot lemon on top made the flavors pop. All this and 2 drinks came to $52. Very good. Tons of tables and seating inside. Tons of parking available. read more

They stopped selling tacos. Got nachos today with barely any cheese. All they sell is Mediterranean food which is a mistake I think. read more

Our absolute favorite taco place. The Barbados is delicious and we come grab lunch here at Las once a week. The Alfredo has a unique sauce with lots of flavor and the fall/winter seafood soup is worth repeating read more

Horrible dessert. We had the lemon cake to go. It was horrible. Super dry, hard as a rock, even after putting in the microwave to warm it up and moisten. The manager said they do not bake on premise. Don't order read more

Full plates have arrived.! The branzino was pan fried and delicious. Both halves--a full fish. The couscous was nice and the small vegetable salad was satisfying. Too much food for me to eat at lunch. As always, my companion chose 2 tacos and chips. We took most of the chips home. I will absolutely try all the other plates on upcoming visits. read more

They have all these signs outside that list tons of menu items that they don't actually have. One, clearly states, "Chili." I asked inside about the chili and was met with a confused stare. "Your sign says chili." "On the glass signs?" "Yes." "Oh, we don't have that." What? I'll check them out and re-review but that's just annoying. read more

Picasso Mediterranean Grill - Don't read all the signs outside. They don't have any of this stuff. Weird. - Mediterranean Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

My husband and I had dinner at Picasso one Saturday evening. On Saturday, tamales were available, so we tried one with chicken ($4.95). We also ordered the salsa trio and queso dip. Both were served with chips, and had we thought about it, we would have asked for just one basket of chips. Their chips are really light and crispy! The queso is also served with their salsa, FYI. For our meals, I had a Shrimp Too poblano cream taco, and my husband had an Americano with ground beef, and one of their new steak tacos. The shrimp taco had plenty of shrimp, but I thought the poblano sauce tasted a bit too much like mayo and could have had more poblanos. Their homemade flour tortillas are delicious, however! My husband loved both his ground beef and steak tacos. The ground beef one had a nice kick as well. The tamale was spicy and had plenty of filling, but I thought it was a bit dry, and needed to be dipped in salsa or queso. I'm not a big tamale fan, however, so take that feedback as you will. Despite all that food, we had to try a dessert from their expansive dessert case. We shared an espresso creme brûlée ($7), and it was divine. We'll definitely be back! read more

They got rid of all the best item on the menu, the barbacoa taco. Now it's mediocre high priced Mediterranean food. You can't call yourself a taqueria and not serve tacos, LMAO. Taqueria means that you specialize in tacos...look it up. read more

I had low expectations cuz I'm not a fan of Barcelona Burger and it's the same owner, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's basically the same set up as Barcelona; large, open space with plenty of picnic tables for seating. There are even tables overlooking the kitchen, which was kind of neat. I ordered three different tacos and each one was unique, delicious, and bursting with flavor. I will definitely go back! read more

The tacos and beef nachos were great. I had the California, Barbacoa and fish tacos and they were very fresh and good. Staff was very friendly. If you like the atmosphere of Alinos and Barcelona in Mooresville this is very similar. Great for large groups, large open atmosphere and very clean. read more

Service is excellent, food comes out super fast!! I've tried the fish, shrimp, fried chicken, barbacoa and the El Americano tacos. The fish and fried chicken tacos have a bit of spiciness to them. The only taco I didn't like was the ground beef Americano taco, not sure how you mess up a ground beef taco, but this was a fail. The queso and chips were on point. Huge space with plenty of seating. Check the hours during the week, we arrived for a late lunch, and they were closed. Wednesday 11AM-2PM 5-8:30PM read more

Food and service was fantastic - I ordered the beef Mediterranean plate and the ingredients tasted so fresh and was cooked to perfection. This place has an open and modern ambiance that we loved. Highly recommend for good tacos and Mediterranean!! read more

UPDATED: we went back for a second time and I forgot to ask for corn tortillas(auto immune disease, GF person)for my tacos. They really should verbally offer, when ordering, as an option and not have a $0.50 up-charge. Corn tortillas are so cheap at the grocery store. The two men behind the registers were really rude when I went to fix my mistake and pay for my three corn tortillas $0.50 up-charge. I paid $1.25. When they brought my tacos out the tortillas were freezing cold, like they just took them out of the fridge and slapped the ingredients from the flour tortillas to the corn ones. The inside ingredients of my tacos were chilled because of the freezing tortillas. I'm not going back. It's not worth it, not worth the money. They did great with Barcelona and Alino's, but this place is a FLOP. Go to Rio 150 down the street for good-WARM tacos and freed chips and no up-charge for corn tortillas. First visit: The food is really good. My husband said the Philly cheese steak was awesome. Some negative points on their part: Corn tortillas are $0.50 up charge. So that's not fun for us gluten free people. The biggest downfall is the no re-fill on chips. We purchased the "Salsa Trio(which is delicious) with only a handful of chips. We had a ton of salsa leftover we were not allowed a chip re-fill and we couldn't even purchase a new basket of chips. We would have to buy the whole dish of "salsa trio" again, so another $3.95. Honestly, RIO 150 just opened down the street. I can get unlimited chips there and be charged less for a corn tortillas dish option. ‍ read more

Atmosphere is great but food is bland. Chicken Alfredo seemed very much out it a can. Quesadillas was something you could make at home. Nachos were boring. Queso was okay but seemed out a jar or similar. Super disappointed because my family really loved Barcelona burger. This one just seems like such a money grab now. read more

coming in with a small group after Sunday meeting for a little something before dinner was kind of a big mistake. thought I could get away with ordering the vegetarian ques but I came out sufficiently large and tasty to ruin dinner... walk in and order at the counter same as the burger joint and pizza place with a refrigerated case of deserts sitting right there too - beer and sangria are available to the right plus they's got a couple of freestyle machines to satisfy your carbonated sweet-tooth. the dining area is clean and huge and barnlike in dimensions like the other eateries here; long rows of picnincky styled tables fill three high-ceilinged areas one of which looks down on the food prep area so you can get an eye full beforehand which is actually not a bad thing here. so yeah, the quesadilla was great and a person would never think to miss the meats, a small bucket of sliced japs comes with, plus some lively guac and salsa and peppers plus a satisfying portion of rice. really, if there was anymore it would be excessive... so we'll probably be back to sample the rest of the menu soon enough since it's almost a zero-minute drive from the house. the nachos next door looked amazing. read more

Stopped in for lunch with the fam and was so impressed! Order at the counter and have your order brought out to your table SO fast! The chips and queso were both great. The barbacoa taco was delicious, far and above my favorite. The philly taco was a close second. But that barbacoa I will crave! Their kids menu consists of a cheese quesadilla or chicken fingers. We will be back! read more

No bueno! Muy caro! Tried the barbacoa taco, fried chicken taco, hummus, nachos with steak and kids chicken. The barbacoa was good, fried chicken was a no, my kid would not eat the kids chicken (& he is a chicken tender connoisseur), every thing else was just ok. Penny pinching charging 50 cents for a corn tortilla, per taco. I love Alino and Barcelona, both owned by the same company, so very disappointed this was a big miss for me. My biggest complaint is the price. The nachos and hummus could easily be smaller portions for a lower price. read more

The food is delish! My husband got a few tacos and loved them all. I got the Veneta steak and it was sooo gooood! Nice mix of Mexican and Mediterranean. Ambiance is nice. Order up front and pick a table, but food comes out quick and hot! The owner Michael greeted us and was very nice. We will definitely be back! Our new fav taco joint :) read more

I was very excited to see that Picasso Taqueria was going to open. I always knew that we needed better Mexican food in the area. I have been a very big fan of all the restaurants nearby so I had a very high hopes for this one. The location and everything seems very pretty. It all goes downhill until you served your food. It all came out pretty quick. I was impressed, but I don't believe this is authentic food at all. The rice was clumped up and overcooked, the Charro beans tasted like chili with zero seasoning. The Barbacoa nachos were OK but it was definitely on the sweeter side. The steak was mediocre and overpriced. I will say that I was impressed by the tortilla. Overall, I was disappointed and there is nothing authentic about this place. I hope they improve the recipes. I think many people forget what makes Mexican food so good, it's supposed to be simple. A taco comes with a meat, onions, cilantro, and a great salsa to go with it. There's no need to get fancy with it, but what's important is consistency in the food. read more

Awesome barbacoa tacos, flavorful and authentic.......best i've had in the area. GI've this restaurant a try, you will not be disappointed.

The food is so good, great service and deserts are wonderful! This is an awesome week day or weekend place to stop then go shopping!

Once again I love this place! Great food - the Branzino, the Veneto beef, the couscous, the Sea Bass, and much more! And the desserts! Six of us this time and each one was very happy with their food. Highly recommend Picasso Taquerie! read more

First time ever eating here. The food was amazing and flavorful. The chicken in the quesadilla was so moist and tender. The rice prepared worth it was really good. Also, grabbed a German chocolate cake..oh my so good. And the atmosphere was spacious and welcoming. The service was great. Would highly recommend. read more

Service is top notch, lots of options on the menu, yummy desserts! It's definitely one of our go-to restaurants!

Have eaten here a few times now and the food is fresh and seasoned well. Staff is very friendly and service is wonderful.

We love this restaurant! The food, the ambiance and the quick service make this a wonderful experience.

We always love the kindness of the staff which has become expected. However, the best thing is the food. The whole family lives relaxing and eating and ordering seconds for the kids because it's one of those places that the kids are treated equally as well as the adults. Thank you. read more

Bolognese sauce was very good, the noodles were way overcooked. Far from Al dente service was great, nice clean facility

Great building with tons of huge tables so nice for large groups. Can watch them cook the food which is fun for kids. Very quick service, friendly staff. Food was mediocre. Barbacoa taco was the favorite in our group and we agreed was very delicious and worth getting again. Many of the others we tried were fine but nothing to write home about. Felt like they were lacking in spices and just the extra umph to make them special. The homemade tortillas were really good. The chips were another favorite and very delicious! The guac had good flavor. We liked the pork nachos and I'd probably get them again but they still could be better- probably needs a little more queso! We tried a few desserts and really didn't like any of them. They look beautiful but just aren't that good. read more

We tried Picasso last weekend after eagerly awaiting the opening for some time, and it did not disappoint! Our group tried every taco on the menu and the favorites were varied - a testament to the great quality overall. Similar to neighboring Barcelona, service was quick, friendly, and thorough. It is a very clean and modern-styled albeit minimalist restaurant. Our toddlers loved the open space and desserts, and I enjoyed the great selection of craft beer. We will be back again very soon! read more

Easy to get in with plenty of space. Great chips and guacamole, and the Barbacoa taco is the bomb. I liked the chicken and Carolina as well. Washed down easy with a frozen margarita. We'll be back! read more
