    Quesabirria tacos 10/10

    This place is awesome... the food is incredible, service was nice and the atmosphere had good vibes. Also the margaritas had you feeling good

    This bowl was delicious, beef and rice and black beans!

    My husband and I were traveling across Italy and we were craving Mexican food. We came across Picos and were so grateful to find them. We went here 3 times during our trip to Rome, no shame. The birria tacos were our absolute favorite, super flavorful salsas (habanero, verde) and fresh ingredients. The tropical margarita with passionfruit was perfection. This place is a hidden gem!

    Seriously, whoever thought of opening this business was a genius! Having a little Mexican restaurant in one of the taste capitals of the world was exactly what Rome needed. It was so good too! So good! My husband ordered the cochinita tacos, we split a shrimp tostada and the barbecoa quesadilla. I also ordered a Margarita and my husband ordered a large beer. My Margarita came to the table on time, but my husband's beer took a while longer. They said it was because a keg tapped out, but even if that was the case, they still should have brought it to the table because we watched it sit there for a hot minute at the bar. Other than that little mishap, we enjoyed our experience there. It was nice to have dinner there over some good Mexican food. It was nice to change up the scene and cuisine from Italian food, at least this once. Believe me, we got more delicious Italian food again eventually!

    The food we tried had a very authentic flavor and very good quality. I had the Carnitas taco which had chopped onions and cilantro. It was a healthy portion of meat for the two soft tacos. My wife ordered the Al Pastore tacos, which actually taste a little better with a very good, sharp almost fruity flavor. Since we eat a lot of Mexican food back in California, this does measure up. We also ordered the guacamole and chips. unfortunately the guacamole had a little too much salt, especially since the chips were seasoned with salt. I like the small chips and they were thick and tasty. Forgot to mention that the meat on my Carnitas was also salty, but flavorful. Lastly, we both got spicy margaritas. very nice and cold poured over crushed ice. Very refreshing for this warm day in Rome. Almost forgot that we ordered some red salsa as well. Not a very large portion since you pay an extra two or three euros for this, but it was hot and tasty. as for the ambience, I loved it. Very bright colors and festive. Open air feeling as if you are in Mexico. Prices may be a little high for what you're getting though.

This time we nearly had it every day, and for 8€ a bowl you can't blame me. Must try is the pappardelle ragu, portions are enough to share for two.

    This is a review based on getting my pasta to go…read more This was my first meal when I landed in Rome, so my travel group was hungry and very excited for our first Italian/Roman meal. Therefore, we ordered one of everything Hey, why not? Right?! It was definitely fresh pasta because you see them making the pasta from flour to all the different types of pasta shapes. And fresh pasta tends to stick together when cooled down. Here is the ranking of how I liked their pastas. They were all good but this is based on my flavor preference and how good everything was after bringing it back to the Airbnb. 6. Strozzapreti al pesto 5. Spaghetti Cacio e pepe 4. Fusilli al pomodoro 3. Strozzapreti al tartufo 2. Pappardelle al Ragu 1. Spaghetti alla Carbonara I think my ranking might have changed drastically if I ate everything on the spot. As you can tell by now, my recommendation is to eat it there as soon as you get your order. ¨ It was really good for being "take-out" style. Def worth stopping by for guaranteed yummy fresh pasta. So, if you have stomach space and are contemplating, yes, go! Worth the virality and hype. But I wouldn't suggest eating here every day. You're in Rome, explore! Try to find another yummy spot! ¨ Things to know: -Like most of Rome, they accept cards. -When you order, if are you getting it go, let them know so that they can pack it for you. -After you order, they give you a pager so you know when your order is ready. -If you order to go (I would suggest not if you can eat it there fresh) and if you have a bit of a walk, I would not suggest holding the bag by the handle cuz the steam of the food made our bags rip slowly. I'm glad we realized this because we would've been sad if all our pasta landed on the floor. And the covers do get warped by the steam, so everything shifts around. So, don't be like me - swinging the bag happily. Be more mindful. -Wait time can vary. Mine wasn't too bad cuz there weren't a lot of people. -The only problem with eating there is that there is no seating. So, I wouldn't have been able to get every single pasta dish to try. Pros and cons of eating it fresh and hot vs eating comfortably in AC.
