    Empanadas
    Linnea E.

    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!

    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!

    Pico Bistro is a perfect place for a bite, snack, food on the run. They have a great variety of empanadas, as well as croquettes(coxinha - Brazillian chicken bites, cheese balls, and cod fish bites. Seriously, there is a lot of goodness here. I ordered the coxinha bites to share. And just think of chicken, potato and cheese all wrapped into one. It's Yummy!!! Pick your sauce too. I picked the sweet chili sauce. It's a nice snack so you can taste all throughout the brand new foodie Clermont market - Montrose Street Market! Enjoy!!!

    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.

    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.

    Empanada = Pastel

    So let me tell you about that place,? I looking for some Brazilian food around Clermont, and I found this place, is just amazing pastel and churros. The door is small so if you follow the gps you need park your car and just get inside to the building, have all kinds food the, and you can have a lot fun with your family and friends that inside. I am a new a new resident here, and for now one me and my family will be always there. I simple love it

    Empanadas for me!

    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.

    Shitake and palm heart empanada
    Jessica L.

    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!

    Came here on a quick lunch break during work. This is one of the only authentic Puerto Rican…read moreRestaurants in Clermont area. Definitely something much needed ! Service - walked in and immediately greeted. Asked if I wanted to do dine in or take out. Since it wasn't busy I opted for dine in. My server spoke a little English but was super friendly. She took care of me and and even brought a take out container noticing I didn't finish my food. Food- ordered the pernil lunch special and morir sonado to drink. Food was very delicious and reminded of the same food I would get on the island :) my only complaint was that my food was not super hot when it came out but it did coke out quickly after ordering. Food is priced well. Ambiance - small and cozy very welcoming. Not a ton of inside seating but could accommodate several families. 9/10 I definitely would return and make myself a regular here.

The service here was like at home. The food here tasted incredible. All of them were freshly prepared and seasoned. They have Mofongos from both Dominican and Puerto Rican. My party ordered the Chicharron y Pollo Mofongo from the Dominican side and Carne Frita Mofongo from the Puerto Rican side. The Dominican Mofongo was like a treasure chest that had fried pork rinds and shredded chicken hidden inside and melted cheese on top. The Puerto Rican Mofongo we ordered came with the fried pork chunks which tasted so good with the Mayo ketchup. But my number one today definitely was the cheese flan. It was perfectly sweetened with a texture between the cheese cake and caramel flan. I certainly will be back to try some of their other dishes.

Mind you it was about 80 degrees outside :/ We decided to sit right next to these not even realizing what it was and ate for about an hour. As we were leaving I noticed WHAT it was & am absolutely disgusted We live in Florida , one of the hottest states in America & it was out for a very long time I hope they threw all this food away It's absolutely contaminated as it definitely could possibly give food Bourne illnesses to not only people but especially pregnant people I've been experiencing terrible stomach pains, throwing up almost anything and everything I ate along with this food Also we called and told the Ownerr about it and he came outside & touched it & went back inside to his rush hour line he most likely had & said on the phone "it was just delivered" Which no it was not , it was literally defrosting in the heat & I physically touched the food to check how warm it could've been as well as it was directly under the hot sun So HOPEFULLY he took it inside & made the right decision to just throw it back out and call it a loss but when I touched it , it was basically warm to touch and it was a bunch of frozen stuff... yuck
