I visited Pico Pica Rico to satisfy an old college craving of carne asada fries and ordered their Super Nacho with chicken and a Gordita with asada. The parking lot was not the easiest to access as it's fairly small, and at the time of visit had only one lane because of construction. Picking up the order was fairly smooth, and the sides / condiments were self-serve as expected. There was also a small bag of chips and salsa included in the order. Eating inside felt as expected; it was neither the cleanest nor dirtiest but maintained regularly. I realized soon that I forgot a horchata and added that, too, and it was as expected with respect to sweetness. Food wise, the chicken nachos were nostalgic but not remarkable. It was my first time having a gordita, and this thing was very carb heavy - definitely not something I'd consider reordering. Maybe it's the portion, maybe it's normal, or maybe it's not for me. I felt neutral towards both but for the price and quality was definitely worth it. read more

I stopped by this local taqueria for breakfast burritos recently and was honestly really impressed. I had been here years ago, but it had been a while so we decided to give it another shot. My wife ordered the bacon egg white burrito and I got the chorizo burrito. She was actually a little hesitant because the last time we had it about four years ago she wasn't a big fan. This time though she loved it. And if my wife approves, that says a lot because it means we can officially add this spot back into the breakfast rotation. My chorizo burrito was delicious. The flavors were great and the green salsa with the pickled jalapeños on the side was the perfect combo. Everything tasted fresh and really hit the spot for breakfast. The staff was also incredibly nice. I even accidentally dropped one of my salsa cups on the floor like a total rookie and they were still super friendly about it and helped me out. They had a dodger game on a big nice tv inside and the ambiance was set really nicely . Inside was very clean and well kept too which I appreciate. Great food, great service, and a great breakfast option in the neighborhood. Highly recommend if you're craving a solid breakfast burrito. read more

Pico Pica still holds up. In 2020 I said that PPR was 'small but mighty', and now five years later and revisited, I'm glad to see that they still deliver. On this particular visit, I ordered the Bacon Breakfast Burrito (eggs, bacon, hash browns and cheese); the New Breakfast Burrito (hash browns, chicken sausage, eggs and cheese); and a Carne Asada Crunchy Taco. Everything was delicious. The Breakfast Burritos were big and nicely packed, and the Taco had just the right amount of ingredients. It wasn't swimming in lettuce or cheese but it had plenty of Asada. They also have a small salsa bar with about four different salsas, and peppers. Pico Pica Rico hits the spot and the service can't be beat. They also have a comfortable front patio with a few tables, so you can sit outside and enjoy your meal. Definitely worth a visit! read more

I was in area and came across this place thinking it would be basic. I ordered the chilaquiles and I was so surprised with the flavor of the sauce. It had just the right amount of spice and so flavorful. I was the only person there when I ordered so the service was great and the food came out quickly. Next time I'm in the area I will be back. read more

Excellent spot in the area. I always get the breakfast burrito and it is consistently delicious and made fresh. It is priced well and the availability of the salsa bar is an added bonus. They have a nice sitting area for eating in and a small parking lot shared with other businesses in the lot. It's recommended to call in an order and within 5 minutes, typically it is ready. Friendly staff! read more

I find it outrageous to order a desert and get a store bought item. You wanna do that at least be specific or fake it! The flan is store bought. The guacamole is terrible and it doesn't come with chips. The Jalapeño Dourado comes with literally ONE jalapeño. The nachos were cold but okay. The burritos were okay as well. My drinks were missing. I wouldn't order again. It was a DoorDash order. read more

Went to Pico on a Wednesday evening. Paid a little too much than I would have liked for 2 tacos and a burrito ($30) . The guy at the counter was super nice and the ambiance was cozy. However compared to other taco spots id rank this one at a low. Burrito just kind of tasted like a blend of mushy ingredients and not too much flavor either. The taco shells weren't very good either. However the Beans. The beans were phenomenal. If i were to ever go again. I would be ordering the bean burrito. read more

I went here for breakfast got a classic breakfast burrito would order fries and Horchata. The best thing I had was surprise they burnt my breakfast burrito. The tortilla was burnt. The potatoes were burnt. The Horchata was OK but service was good. Ambience had an old feel Hole in the wall, so I thought it would be good. read more

Pico Pica Rico - Undercooked fries, undercooked meat, poor taste and sals is even the same. - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Great neighborhood Mexican restaurant for staples. Only open until early evening but went for breakfast burritos and were excellent. So glad to have found this place. Tiny little shop and the staff was lovely. read more

Place is good enough, affordable and overall pretty tasty if you're looking for a quick lunch. Giving it 3 stars for 2 reasons, the asada fries were a little warm, not exactly hot. Found more than a handful of fries that were undercooked, and the asada was slightly undercooked as well. Tasty, but didn't really like the plate I got. read more

Ok I usually can depend on something decent a bit inconsistent at times but more than less it's better than this chilaquiles and this kids roll up. I guess twenty bucks ain't what it used to be but I have been in the existing mood and Pico pica Rico today is your day to be exposed for the inconsistency. With the price of eggs and this is what I get. UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD... read more

Provender: a great place to get Mexican food, especially if you want a breakfast burrito. They also serve menudo and burgers. Prices: the breakfast burrito will run you about $12.

Perks: the restaurant has a few indoor and outdoor seats, along with a TV. The staff are great. They also have a salsa bar next the drink refrigerator. read more

Pico Pica Rico - Breakfast burrito. Mar. 2024. - Mexican Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

I ordered on DoorDash and decided to give it a try because of the reviews and I like to try new places I ordered two taquito plates which seemed like something easy. When I tried it, it had a familiar taste. It tasted like the taquitos you would get at a store freezer aisle. My sister tried it and it was taquitos you would get from the freezer aisle. As a Hispanic this was sad. I spent $14 for each plate and I got freezer aisle taquitos. It was really heartbreaking to be served that. Honestly I threw it away. It was a waste of money. There was nothing authentic about the dish. read more

Very authentic Mexican restaurant. Staff is quick and friendly and the food is very good. I ordered a gordita with carne asada and thought I wouldn't be able to finish the whole thing because it was so big. It was good though, so eating the whole thing wasn't a problem lol. I plan on coming back with friends. read more

This little spot, and I mean little, has great Mexican food and should be checked out! My original order got messed up, but they re made it correctly and quickly. They were all smiles and apologies, and very friendly. The food was authentic and tasted great. I got red and green sauce on my wet asada burrito. Christmas! There are only 4.5 "booths" inside and a salsa station next to a drinks cooler with Jarritos and a variety of can sodas. There is a small patio outside with chairs and tables, surrounded by plant with a small fountain in the corner. Very cozy. We got the food to go, but decided to sit outside on the patio. The tables were a little sticky, but the whole place is very clean. I will be coming back with my son to hit the tacos and try the Huarache. read more

The food continues to be good and the counter service is friendly, but the vibe was off when I recently stopped in for lunch. Not sure why the place had only one other table who left shortly after I arrived. I ordered the super huarache with barbacoa which was on the fatty side, I should have stuck with the carnitas which is my usual choice. As I mentioned wou walk-in to a very small space maybe 5 booths, order at the counter and they will being your food. I felt they were being a little too cost effective when they gave me 4 chips to go with a large plate. The sauces are good, hot means hot, so choose wisely. I would have given 4 stars but felt uncomfortable, maybe because I was a single diner in a empty restaurant. read more

Food, ambiance, and guest service is always amazing. Jose is very kind. Everything on the menu is worth trying!! 10/10

Wow, wow, wow !!! this place is a lot better than I expected for being a small business . I underestimated how good this place would be let me tell you the salsa bar and the chips fire . As you can see from all my reviews I definitely love my Mexican food. The tortillas are made from scratch the huevos ranchero was perfect! this place cooks with love like traditional Tio and Tia vibes must try !! read more

What a pleasant little restaurant. Loved the welcome vibe; tasty food. Had carne asada tacos and Gordita. Both dishes were freaking delicious. And the Gordita was made with hand fresh tortilla.. The horchata was just right. Now; let me tell you about the salsas. Guacamole definitely tasted like such and red and green salsas were actually very tasty and freshly cooked. No spicy salsas = me happy Highly recommended and gracias por tan bonito trato. read more

Used to LOVE this movie place. It's only a few blocks from me. Still pretty good. The hot sauce is great. Honestly, though, it's gone downhill in the last year or so. Breakfast burritos (which was always my go to) have gotten smaller and prices went significantly up, ever since the new management took over. It's a shame. Like I said, it's still good...just disappointing compared to what it used to be. read more

Came by with my son for lunch after not visiting this place in quite some time it's under new ownership and wow I'm so impressed. The food is fresh and delicious. You can make good healthy choices. If you want to the people are very pleasant and the prices are more than fair. I would come again more often. Highly recommend read more

Updated review 2022. Apparently they have new management because the new manager JOSE is RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL Came in to order Chilaquiles rojos plate & a torta de AL PASTOR. Ordered this all in store with the manager of the store. Left back home to Santa Monica, only to find out that the torta was of CARNE ASADA. I don't eat carne asada and that's not what I ordered so I called the restaurant. The manager JOSE answered, I told him the situation. Told him I took a picture of it too. He said well, "I can only give you half credit for it since you aren't bringing it back " " You can either bring it back (Santa Monica to van nuys) or i DONT MIND LOOSING YOU AS A CUSTOMER " He then proceeded to hang up the call and won't answer now. Well I'll tell you what, we won't be returning here ever again. The food went from great Mexican food to thrash and it shows why. It's unfortunate that a Mexican restaurant doesn't know the difference between Al pastor and carne asada. read more

I've went to this spot twice and its a hidden gem. I never noticed this place, but decided to try it after checking out the game store next door. First off, the parking is terrible, theres so many business with one small lot which has parking spaces designated for each business only or you will get towed. You can park on the street, but good luck parking is scarce. The inside has a small patio outside with table and chairs, inside has some booths with a t.v. Not many seats inside. The food quality is really good! I ordered the salsa verde wet burrito with carne asada meat, it has cilantro, onions, cheese, beans, etc. your order comes with chips and you can add sides of beans or rice. I ordered the sides of rice and beans with a large soda. Food quality was really tasty! They have a small refrigerator with various other drinks in it to purchase Jarritos, can sodas, etc. Theres also a small salsa bar with lemons, salsa verde, red salsa, and more. The restaurant closes early and closed on Sunday. If your in the area try this place out! When you exit, be very careful the street is busy, if cars park on the curb in front you cant see cars coming, theres a light nearby that has cars constantly coming your way. You have been warned, careful!! read more

I always get their breakfast bacon burrito. So much garlic! It's awesome to walk down on a Sunday morning & enjoy brunch on their patio

Pico Pica Rico is a small Mexican eatery in the valley in an unassuming strip mall. I saw it frequently but didn't realize it's popularity when it showed up on an Eater LA article about the top breakfast burrito spots in LA. Breakfast burrito - not as dense as some of the other ones from well known breakfast burrito spots, but still delicious. The proportion of all the ingredients was in point. The bacon provided a nice crunchy texture as well. Chilaquiles - breakfast nachos with eggs, sour cream, cheese. What's not to love?? Serves with beans and rice. It's delicious but the chips get soggy quickly. If you prefer a crunchy texture of chips then ask for it on the side. Parking lot is free but very small. Might need to park on the street which is free. read more

I have been ordering from here for 9 years off and on and never had an issue. I ordered breakfast today through Yelp and they completely got my order wrong. Shorted me the drink I paid for and totally screwed up the food order. This wasn't the worst part I called to get my missing drink and to get the correct food item I had ordered and the guy tells me over the phone "do not order from here ever again, take it up with Grub Hub". I was talking nicely to the guy at this point and just telling him I wasn't even mad when I called I just wanted the order corrected and he then proceeds to tell me to F*** Off and that he was going to kick my A**, he actually had the nerve to threaten a customer with violence because THEY screwed up my order and I wanted the order corrected to what I paid for! Absolutely terrible customer service! I had my employee go back and pick up the Horchata they had shorted me and then the guy threatened him (my employee) with violence as well. Keep in mind my driver/employee is a 73 year old man. This place should not be in business! I will be reporting this incident to Grub Hub, Door Dash, etc.. The guy is a maniac!! Avoid this place at all costs! read more

I've ordered from here a handful of times now and they have great food! Portions are very generous and I've never gotten incorrect or missing items. I've had to customize lots of things and the employees are always diligent about it, which is so appreciated. Love this place and will continue ordering from here. read more

Horrible service I asked for a wet carne asada burrito with both red and green sauce but they put so much jalapeno seeds which was so spicy I cannot eat it. Do not eat here if you cannot handle spice it would be nice if they told me going to be spicy. I wish I can give 0 stars but they deserve no stars at all. I will never eat here ever again. read more
