My wife and I made a COSTCO run in Clermont to return some items (Tramontina dutch ovens chip badly and the Dyson heat + cool doesn't work as advertised) and checked out old town for lunch options. Our friends recommended Cosa Nostra but, being a sucker for empanadas, my wife suggested Pico Bistro instead. Located on the bottom floor of the Montrose Street Market, Pico Bistro operates from a small space. After looking at the menu, my wife ordered the #4 (Beef with green olives and eggs) and #19 (Beef, sausage and cheese) empanadas ($4.33 each) with fries ($3.99). I ordered the picanha (steak) served with chimichurri and fries ($16.50). We each had a Coke Zero ($2.50 each per can!) in a can to wash it down with. My wife liked her empanadas, especially dipped in that pico sauce it came with. My steak was just OK...really needed that chimichurri sauce to add some flavor. The thin steak was cooked on what looked like a portable flat top. All in all, I thought lunch was nothing to write home about, except perhaps for the empanadas. The value certainly wasn't there, not to mention a 2.5% processing fee added to credit card payments. Lunch for 2 with tip came out to $43. read more

This is inside of a bustling food hall. You order at the counter and eat where you please. I ordered just one beef and cheese empanada and it was outstanding! The meat was flavorful and the cheddar cheese was perfectly sharp. I also loved the crust- it was very light and not greasy at all. I forgot to take a pic because I was starving, but I'll be back to try a few others before I leave the area. read more

As an update: We drive 45 minutes to come here and it's worth it! We were so sad to see the Winter Garden location close, but are very happy this one is open. Prices are reasonable and there are many unique empanadas to choose from. The pico sauce is super good too and goes on everything so well! You can buy it in little jars to take home... we're going on our second jar now! Don't miss this hidden gem of a place. read more

Genuinely the best empanadas I've had in Central Florida - I live a good 45 mins away from Clermont and I'd make that drive just for these empanadas without even questioning it. These beauties come in a wide variety of flavors and are perfectly fried - they just melt in your mouth and taste so so good. The shop itself is a small booth inside one of the food halls in downtown Clermont so there's lots to explore - definitely do yourself a favor and pick some empanadas while you're there! read more

Pico Bistro - Empanadas - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

The empanadas were delicious! Hot, fresh and tasty. definitely a returning customer.

My wife and I stopped in and they are the best empanadas we have ever had hands down. Highly recommend

Absolutely delicious empanadas with flavors for everyone. Located inside a market with a bunch of different food vendors. We went with the 3 pack and you are able to mix and match fillings. There are a couple sauce options, we went for a sweet and spicy guava sauce and it was the perfect combo with all 3 different empanadas we got. They are marked with numbers on the top so you know which are which. Would highly recommend! read more

Empanadas we're delicious. Took one star off because I ordered family box of 18. I told them what I wanted I picked them up probably a half hour before they closed... The lady at the front desk instead of letting me know they decided to just add whatever flavors I think because I picked up before closing... she probably figured he they won't care ... we'll I looked at the numbers and noticed and ran back in and told her I was unhappy and that this is not how business should be run you don't just add whatever you want. You inform the customer you are out of flavors and let them pick... she ended up making me some different ones and the owner texted and apologized to me. Again I would go again just always make sure to check your order. read more

Pico Bistro - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Delicious empanadas! I stopped by after reading about Pico Bistro on Yelp! This building is a mini foot court or market. The bistro is located in the back of the building downstairs. They have several empanada options, but they may not have all on stock. When I visited yesterday, they were out of the chicken and lobster empanadas. I was able to get the beef, egg and olive and also the salmon, cream cheese empanadas. They were cooked perfectly and piping hot. The sauces are good too. The green sauce will definitely leave a little burn after enough of it. The red sauce is sweeter. Nice place with affordable, tasty lunch options. read more

This location is inside of the Monroe Street Market in Clermont. It is a down on the first floor of the building. They offer about 10-12 different types of empanadas. They have a great selection to choose from. On this trip my daughter ate 2 of the cheese empanadas and I tried the beef/cheddar and mac&cheese/bacon. I did get to try a bite of the cheese as well. The food was hot and tasted delicious. The staff was friendly and was able to answer any questions we had. My daughter's favorite thing is that the empanadas are labeled by number so that you can know which one is which. Price point is very reasonable ranging from $3.50-$5 each or they offer a 3 or $10 option. Great food and specials they offer!! read more

Pico Bistro opened in the Montrose Street Market and are located down stairs. The staff is very nice and they handled the Sunday crowd well. My daughter and I ordered three empanadas for $10.00. This is a special that they are currently running. We picked a pulled pork and pineapple, beef and cheddar and a Brie with apricot. Each empanada had an edible number identifying what it was. We wait about fifteen minutes while they were being made to order and deep fried. All three were delicious. The insides and the crust was amazing. The Brie and apricot empanada was loaded with Brie and the beef and cheddar had the perfect ratio of meat and cheese. The meat was seasoned nicely. We both also loved the pork with pineapple. The pineapple added a good flavor to the pork. I can not wait to return and try more flavors. read more

Such great pasteis (aka empanadas). The cost is reasonable for the amount of food and service was fast. Being from southern Brazil I compare them to what I'm used to having, and these are a version from another part of Brazil, as I'm used to having the crust lighter and bigger overall. Was disappointed to see the vegan version was out of stock as it was one of the things I was looking forward to having. Not a lot of sitting places indoors so we had to bring it home. Will definitely come back when I am in the area! read more

Our favorite empanadas are the Chicken Catupiry and the me Mac and cheese and bacon. We always order these when we stop by and we can't get enough of them! read more

This little beauty is located in the new Montrose Market lower level next to Suds Saloon and the Jour de Crepe Creperie, plus a bunch more choices on the street level. Simple, nothing fancy and well priced. We enjoyed the empanadas. The extra fries were a pretty small serving. We'll be returning again soon. read more

Pico Bistro - Empanadas for me! - Brazilian Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Pico Bistro is tucked away, down the stairs and in the very back corner of Montrose Street Market in downtown Clermont. BUT DON'T MISS THEM! It's the perfect spot to sneak away and enjoy some o the best empanadas you will find locally. I know a statement like that might start a fight, but hear me out. Empanadas are all about the dough and the filling, right? Pico Bistro fries up some of the lightest, crispiest and most unique empanadas I have ever tried (and I try them anywhere I can.) The dough is not dense, it's airy. The portions are generous. But where else have you tried a 'duck and brie' stuffed empanada? Or a 'shitake and heart of palm' stuffed empanada? Exactly - they have successfully elevated this well-known street food and they are craveable! I like their combo pricing (3 - $10 or specialty 3 - $12) because the portions are a very good size and this allows for variety! There is so much on this menu that you have to come back for more! FOOD // I tried their specialty combo with 'duck and brie', 'shitake with heart of palm' (vegetarian option), and my kiddo's favorite 'bacon mac and cheese'. The empanadas were made to order and came with your choice of a guava or spicy dipping sauce. GET THEM BOTH. The sauces are well balanced and pack a ton of flavor. I split the 3 empanadas with my son and there were no crumbs left to speak of. Just delicious. There is a nice sitting area right next to the station. The owners are Brazilian but were very helpful in helping me decide the right combination to try. We will absolutely be back! read more

This is a hidden little spot in Winter Garden in a strip mall. It has only been open for six or seven weeks and it is amazing atmosphere it is very classy the food is delicious the empanadas are excellent are they range in price from around 350 to 5 dollars. They have other items on the menu such as gnocchi with different types of potatoes as well as various appetizers. They have wine and beers. All the prices are very reasonable servers servers are extremely helpful and it is a great place to meet friends or have a date. They also have dessert empanadas and sodas and water. Once you go you will be back with your friends and they will thank you for introducing them to Pico Bistro do yourself a favor and stop in. read more

Loved this place! Came across it as I was looking for local businesses on Yelp and had to come try it out. 3 empanadas for $10. I tried the beef with cheddar, guava and cheese, and Brazilian chicken and cheese one. All were amazing! Chicken croquettes were more like coxinhas and were so great! Friendly and fast service. Don't underestimate the 3 empanadas, it was a great meal and we will definitely be back! read more
