    Tepatitlan Carnitas Plate

    New menu... say whaaaattt? The new offerings blow the fox's socks into outer space daddyo! Sadly, for us, our favorite server, TJ, has moved on to serve Uncle Sam... But fear not, the new staff won't leave you hanging. No dino facts, but the owner, Chris, personally came over to sing happy birthday for my 45th! Unbelievable hospitality. Cocktails worthy of a stint in central booking, food that titillates, and will surely tantalize and tingle your five senses. Check out the one photo, and ask for Chris on your birthday!

    Pico is a small Mexican restaurant. I came with my girlfriend and they sat us down in 5 minutes..We ordered the shrimp empandas,which came pretty fast.. They came in 4 , which wasn't bad and they weren't greasy..Then i orderedthe chicken enchalada, which came pretty fast and my girlfriend ordered the chicken quesadilla ,which she liked. Then we ordered the bread pudding for Desert, which was pretty amazing .All and all ,the food was ok ,with fast service...

    Been wanting to try this place. First off, food is awesome. Started off with the crab artichoke guacamole and the shrimp empanadas. Crab and artichoke were mixed in with guacamole, little weird but good. The tortilla chips and seasoned and are great. Shrimp empanadas are tasty and come with a mango sauce. The Caesar salad was so good, I want it everyday. Why did it come with tortillas? Don't know, but not complaining. The tacos are all good. Especially the lamb special. Service is alright, there wasn't a hostess at the front and took a little while for someone to seat us. Front part of the restaurant is nice with the bar and elevated booths. Back is a large white room with an atrium, little bit empty. Would def go back.

    Nachos loaded with chicken.. amazing

    Currently exploding. This place was DELICIOUS!!!! when I'm in the area would totally return. Everything we ate was great, but the short rib burrito was perfect and the bread pudding- OMG. It's made out of croissants and totally decadent. I don't normally eat nachos but someone recommended them, and they were so creamy and had lots of meat and cheese- so rich! We also had elote and a fish taco (not pictured). Both were delicious as well, very fresh! The service was excellent as well. Our server was very attentive. The price wasn't cheap, yet we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and sometimes you gotta treat yourself!

    First time to the area and this restaurant; drove 45min and tbh it was worth it. That's aside from the wait time because we had not done a reservation. The spot was packed but vibrant with music and people having a good time. The service was delightful and very good. The food was delicious, we like to order different things to share to get a good taste of things. I'd recommend this place to anyone!

    As others have mentioned PICO has the bestest staff in all of Rockaway! Tacos are absolutely bomb and made with love. Pairs excellently with the smoky margarita

    Way above average Tex mex or Mexican, they have unique dishes inspired by different regions within Mexico. A full bar is a spot to eat off the full menu in case the waits for a table are too long. Good fast bartenders and overall top tier service are welcomed Nice back area dining room and pop music round out the scene in Rockaways, a north drive from the Marine bridge and buses subways at Beach 116th.

    What a great restaurant. I had the steak burrito bowl. It was very good. They had a great beer selection and drinks. The service was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Food was tasty and the drinks were fabulous. It was a nice spot for a late lunch to catch up with friends. I'd definitely go there again.

    The food was terrible, overpriced, and a cheat. I found hair in my food and the service was bad.

    Pico's ELOTE appetizer makes me so genuinely happy as a clam. And it's a full meal, as far as I'm concerned.

    I've read a few bad reviews about this restaurant and I don't get it. I've been coming here for a…read moreyear now ( at least once every 4-6 weeks) and the food is always freshly cooked, hot and delicious. The employees are ALWAYS kind, respectful , cheerful and upbeat with a smile on their faces. We came today and I ordered my favorite....the Meat Up burger with everything except cheese , fries and raspberry Snapple. The burger was as always delicious with MUG sauce, pickles, lettuce & onions.?The patty was fresh not frozen and cooked perfectly. The fries are always golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside and perfectly salted........even though I'm a salt addict and always add more My son ordered the OG Burger that has 2 patty's, bacon, pickles, lettuce, MUG sauce ........ he doesn't like onions. I barely had time to snap a pic before he inhaled the burger. He's pretty picky about his burgers but he loved the OG burger and is irritated with me because I haven't brought him here in the last year ‍ All in all, this is great restaurant and a fantastic addition to our community. We needed a good burger place (they have other dishes also) here. There's enough pizza places, chinese/japanese/sushi restaurants, spanish/mexican restaurants, thai food, seafood and chicken restaurants here I highly recommend Meat Up grill to anyone that wants fresh prepared, hot delicious meal or even a salad.

    So after trying the pizza place next door which I was really happy with I gave this a try since…read moreit's the same owner. Kids at the counter were nice and accommodating, they have a pretty good menu, nice place inside over all. I got the chicken tenders which were really good not greasy but definitely could use some salt. But I was okay with that . The sauces aren't anything to rave about the mustard was too sweet for me, and the bbq was basic . Substituted the fries for an extra tender . But good real chicken and would definitely come here for them again. Now the 17$ philly cheesesteak is definitely an over priced bust!!!! Not enough cheese/ dried out meat/ way smaller than the Normal and usual Philly should be. Not a foot long, no end pieces that were cut of seems just to fit the box. And the meat itself had zero flavor as well so a complete waste of money on this item. Nothing more is worse when you see a picture of something and when it comes out looking and tasting nothing like it should or you expect.
