(Tookout 12/07/22 WE @ 5:15pm): Pick yo' tacos at the newest Mexican eatery in town! I've been in search of Mexican food (my friend and her friends had yet to find a "good" place around town) my past two trips to Jersey City, when I finally walked by Pico Taco and was initially impressed by the aroma that wafted out the front door. In October 2022, they relocated from nearby Hoboken after nearly a three-year stint there. Would this new kid on the block (they had a grand opening promotion which I bought several of!) pass the smell test with me!? PURCHASE *All tacos were served with freshly-made corn tortillas, chopped onions and cilantro, lime wedges, sliced radishes, and tomatillo and verde salsas unless noted* 3-Tacos Al Pastor + Soda Promo ($10.00): Adobo marinated pork with young pineapple slices, the pork was nicely seasoned, tender, and abundant https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RiURje-Hn6-q0aDcNaj47Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3-Tacos Carnitas + Soda Promo ($10.00): Michoacan style braised pork that had a nice lechon-like crunch to some of the pieces and was copious https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tYGwtRvVlanjQzHLKwaj7A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3-Tacos Barbacoa + Soda Promo ($10.00): Slow cooked, shredded Angus beef shoulder with some savory tender meat juices and was bountiful https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=N6u3gfMBWREH7WdNnX776A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3-Tacos Carne Asada + Soda Promo ($10.00): Seasoned steak that oddly lacked some flavor yet tender and overflowing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Hg7MuVKesgyx3ybtWJBnKg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 3-Tacos Pescado + Soda Promo ($12.00): Crispy fried fish with cabbage slaw, cilantro, pico de gallo, and chipotle aioli, the piece of fish was finely fried, crispy, moist, and plentiful https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=hqtr2aWb7vzXA3oT8RYHtw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Pollo Adobado Burrito ($10.95): Marinated grilled chicken with Mexican rice & beans, onions, cilantro, and tomatillo and verde salsas, this tasty fat two-hander meal was bursting at the seams but lacked the amount of yummy meat compared to the tacos https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=S8CY6fjc6trMXS9D21ESjw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. 4pc Churros w/Nutella ($6.00): Basically, two long fried dough sticks with cinnamon sugar cut in half, this was a lovely way to end the meal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=gxmbZffM8fOHiixBTa3c4A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Sodas 12floz Can (Normally $2.00ea.): A choice of Diet Coke, Sprite, Dr. Brown's Root Beer, Seagram's Ginger Ale, and much more - have at it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=QUAxelKEmRe6PIZLxm7kNQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I walked in and kindly greeted by a young gentleman at the order counter who pointed out their grand opening specials. I quickly placed my large order, chatted with the man who mentioned he was familiar with the many taco stands in L.A. (yes!), and about 15 minutes later everything was brought out by a young woman I imagined was the cook. I grabbed my five canned drinks and was on my way - thank you! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) Although I walked over from my friend's place, there was plenty of free street parking along the main drag of Baldwin Ave. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A seemingly spacious work-in-progress floorplan that had an empty display case straight ahead when you entered, the order counter on your left, several refrigerated coolers along the right wall, a small dining table in front of the window, and what appeared like some grocery store elements and items https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=e-ZmXry-g8a5zyWma6iPeg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. The walls were kept clutter-free. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large glass windows and front door while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There was one turned-off TV while the music of Outkast and Sister Sledge played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=47GhaumJZg4STUEN_pYueQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I found Pico Taco to be a nice touch of L.A. street tacos and would gladly return the next time I was in this part of the country. Sure, the food wasn't as "dirty" as I liked, but you couldn't deny the taste, portion size, the quick service, a somewhat robust menu, and all things considered the price was still very affordable. I wished the burrito had more meat but felt that was fixable. And, I always loved to support small businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $74.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
Great addition to the Heights area. Portions are huge relative to what you usually get for an upscale taco. Have had both their breakfast and lunch/dinner tacos and both are equally great.
Pico Taco is a new favorite. They are "two orders in 4 days" good. Thanks to Yelp's Big Night In 2.0 we placed our first order from Pico Taco on Saturday around 6:30. Fast forward a few days and we were ordering once again. We've tried nearly every taco they make and my favorites are definitely the shrimp and fish. The fish is perfectly crispy and a really good serving. Same with the shrimp. Delicious, not overcooked, and plenty of shrimp. They are a bit more expensive than the chicken/pork/beef tacos but well worth it. Get the guac!!! It's like 3.50 for a 4oz tub and I couldn't get enough of it. Each bite of taco had a schmear of guac. I've also tried the mushroom taco (totally vegan and on a corn tortilla) and it's a great alternative to meat and fish, but I prob won't get it again. The shrimp quesadilla was delicious and perfectly cheesy. The tacos are still my favorite. But can't wait for my next order. Order online to automatically get 25%!
I thought the tacos de birria de res was standout amazing. The consommé was so flavorful and delicious, I wish I could dip all of my food in it. The need was so tender. So good! I liked the nachos with queso but if you are expecting traditional nachos, that is not their style.
*Quarantine Delivery Review* Instead of ordering our usual sushi delivery, we decided to go with some tacos because it had been a while since we had some. And of course, our favorite thing to do is order too much food for two people. Here is everything we ordered: Al Pastor Tacos - these were great. Flavor was perfect and they don't skimp on the meat Chorizo Quesadilla - you really can't go wrong with chorizo or quesadilla Baja Style Crispy Fish Taco - this was my favorite of the group but probably also because I love fish tacos. The piece of fish in each taco was big, which I appreciated because I hate when taco spots give you the tiniest piece of fish and fill the rest of the taco with veggies Carne Asada Tacos - this was my least favorite. The meat was a bit chewy and it was also bland Carne Asada Fries - again, the meat wasn't great but the rest of the toppings were good. I normally don't like soggy fries but somehow, the soggy fries worked here. I'd like to see an al pastor version of the fries. Overall, everything was great (aside from the carne asada). I'd definitely order again. I think I'll try out their tortas next!
I've been there twice now, with three tacos each time. It was Taco Tuesday and I don't recall the exact price but quite low. The chorizo and carnitas were great and I was glad to see actual pineapple in the al pastor. If you're not a pork enthusiast, the barbacoa is a good choice, and there was even a flavor-packed vegetarian option with the mushroom taco. The orange sauce was superb.
Tired of build your own salad or franchise sandwich? Then this is the option. This has become my company's favorite place to go especially Tuesday. They have half off tacos on Tuesday. I also the love the fact that they have so much options - al pastor, carne, chorizo, pescado, to name a few. I am tempted to try a few protein every time I go. The one callout is the ordering system. They seemed to get my order mixed up every time I go.
Hands down the worst horchata I've ever had in my life. I lived in Mexico for a year. This is an offense to the drink.
Came here a few times and was not disappointed. I usually order the pollo adobo tacos which always hits the spot and they offer a generous amount of chicken. I love the two sauces that come on the side to add more heat to the meal. The half off tacos deal on Tuesdays is also a steal!
My wife was in the mood for mexican so we figured to give it a shot. This is a small take-out spot that I didn't realize was there. I tried the birria taco's since I like the dipping sauce that this dish comes with. This reminds me of a french dip version of tacos. I also tried the carne asada and al pastor taco. These are more of the classics that you simply can't not try when you come. Meat is a little dry but flavor is good. I also am a big torta fan and this one had good flavor. The avocado gives it good creaminess to contrast the fattiness of the carne asada. This was probably my favorite item on the menu. The delivery came quick and you get good portions for a reasonable price. If you need to satisfy a mexican food fix it is a good option.
We ordered tacos for 4 people on a Thursday night via Doordash. When they arrived, one of the tacos was actually missing, but we were able to get a refund on that taco through Doordash. The tacos themselves are pretty good. They are incredibly filling and just piled high (especially the shrimp tacos). The quesadilla is definitely smaller than expected, but still hearty. I'll go back the next time I'm looking for tacos!
Ordered delivery for the Pollo Adobado Taco (3pc) for $10.50, the Barbacoa Taco (3pc) for $11.50, and the Barbacoa Quesadilla for $8.50. Like another yelper noted, they offer a discount if you order directly through them. So I did that. :) Thank you all!!! Delivery arrived early. Everything was packed neatly. Great packaging! Everything was hot too. We started with the chicken tacos. The chicken was delicious! Nice charred grill flavor. Some crunch. The tortillas are soft and fresh. The cilantro, onions, radishes and limes are all fresh and chopped and sliced perfect size. No cheese on tacos. They were so delicious!! The chicken tacos are a little messy (chicken falls right out lol) so eat over a plate! Definitely recommend them. Great portion size for everything. The barbacoa tacos were also very good. The shredded beef had a delicious flavor and was so soft and easy to chew lol. Melt in your mouth good! Same with the onion, cilantro, radishes, and limes as the chicken tacos. Great portions. Definitely recommend this one too! The barbacoa quesadilla was mine and my boyfriends favorite! It's like a larger cheesy version of the barbacoa taco lol. It held together perfectly. The same barbacoa as tacos, just melts in your mouth. Nice and STUFFED (the quesadilla, not me). The cheese was yummy and melted to perfection. Definitely recommend this menu item!!! The orange and green sauces that came with everything were also very good. The orange sauce had a little bit of heat. Yummmmm!!! Very filling.
Great tacos! Needed a snack and this did the trick. Al pastor and chorizo tacos were good, but the real winner was the crispy fish taco. They have some outdoor seating at the moment, too.
Ordered: Tacos de Birria de Res (~$17): slow cooked beef tacos stuffed with cheese, onions and cilantro; served with consommé for dipping Torta de Birria de Res (~$17): slow cooked seasoned beef with onions, cilantro, and cheese on a dipped locally baked bollilo roll; served with consomme for dipping Aya's take: I saw Pico Taco on UberEats and decided to give them a try despite not ever hearing about them. We kept it simple with 2 birria orders. The Tacos de Birria de Res were mostly still crispy when they arrived and loaded with birria and cheese. The onions, cilantro, limes, and hot sauces on the side brought out so much more flavor. The Torta was actually so satisfying. It wasn't as big as expected and could've used more toppings but there was a good amount of birria inside. It was supposed to have guacamole inside according to the description but it wasn't included unfortunately. Again, the hot sauces paired so well with it. I personally didn't care for the consommé it came with; I usually love dipping or even sipping on it but this one was a bit too smoky/peppery for my taste. Decent try! read more

Pico is great, but this is wild. I got the carne asada california burrito and it came with barely any steak. Just 2-3 pieces of steak, the burrito was nothing but soggy french fries and some cheese. Normally pico is an easy 4/5 stars normally but today this really feels like i got burned since i brought this to work for lunch and now i have nothing but soggy fries and a tortilla read more

Ordered delivery on a Friday night. My favorite was the fish tacos. There was a generous amount of fish and it was breaded lightly and fried to perfection. The shrimp tacos were also excellent. The elotes were slightly overdone - though we suspect it was due to the corn continuing to cook itself during the delivery. Otherwise, the taste was fantastic - citrusy and creamy. Would love to try it fresh. Overall, the meal was fantastic. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Would love to dine in soon. read more

I came here with friends and we shared the carne asada fries, chicken quesadilla, and al pastor tacos. The meat was a bit dry and the food could use more flavor in my opinion, but it hit the spot and we took home leftovers. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for decent Mexican food and generous portions for a reasonable price. read more

Decided to pick up an early dinner at Pico Taco and I don't regret it. It was a cute little spot close to the Hoboken PATH Station. The staff wore masks properly and only one customer was allowed into the building at a time. For dinner I chose the chorizo bowl, chips and a side of Mexican street corn. The chorizo bowl was pretty tasty. I wouldn't say amazing but a little above average. The chorizo was okay, just average. It was a bit disappointing because it wasn't as flavorful or spicy as I was expecting. The Mexican rice underneath was the saving grace. It was fluffy and tasteful. The other ingredients: beans, veggies, tortilla crisps were all average. The bowl also included green and red salsa in very small containers. The Mexican street corn was okay. Definitely not the best, I'd say just average. It wasn't worth the price in my opinion. However, I will say that the chips were amazing. Probably the best item purchased. You could tell they were homemade and had the perfect amount of salt sprinkled on top. Overall the menu items I purchased were average with nothing special other than the homemade chips. If I visit again I'd probably choose something different. I'd say give this place a try, and if you do definitely get the chips! read more

Let me start by saying how much I dislike the food in Hoboken but Pico Taco is the only restaurant in the city that I will always come back to. I usually stop in once every three or four weeks on a Tuesday for their half price deal and the quality always stays consistent. Chicken Tacos - Absolutely delicious. The chicken is flavorful and juicy Chorizo - I found the meat to be a bit salty but I'm not the biggest chorizo fan so I didn't knock off any stars here Carne Asada - So good! The meat is cooked and seasoned perfectly All the tacos are stacked high with onions, tomato, and cilantro. The salsas are also fantastic, especially the orange one. The tortillas are heated very nicely. I also love that they give you radish and limes when you do take out. The service is great and the food comes out quickly and it's super close to the PATH station makes this place super convenient after coming from home work. Overall, Pico Taco has a customer for life and I can't wait to try their newly introduced breakfast. read more

Carne asada fries. The best I've ever had! Crispy French fries, pour over some melted, warm queso, sprinkle some chopped red onions, cut grilled and marinated steak, and drizzle sour cream with guacamole sauce. Boom! A bowl of heaven to hit your mouth, not to be robbed by cardiologists. (Joy kill) I topped it off with Valentina hot sauce because I better not disrespect Mexican delicacy. Washed it down with an ice cold Jarritos. read more

Excellent tacos! Inexperienced service! The food was very flavorful and very good. I love al pastor taco. It was meaty and flavorful with the right amount of filling to taco ratio. I love that the pineapple is grilled which adds slight sweetness to the taco. We ordered 2 Al Pastor, 2 chicken, and 1 chorizo tacos to go but we were given 2 al pastor and 2 chorizo tacos. Unfortunately we didn't realize we got the wrong order until we got home. It took 45mins to get our order and there was only one person in front of us. Needless to say we didn't bother going back to get the order rectify. Overall the food is amazing but the service has to improve. It's not acceptable to wait 45mins for tacos and then given the wrong order. read more

The shrimp taco was good. It's a good takeout place. Not that great to eat-in. We got chips and salsa which was for $8. The chips were oily to the point, we could taste the oil in our mouth. Guacamole was given in a small cup not enough for the chips. The service was ok. read more

Beware of the food quality. Tacos were decent but the night was ruined after discovering chunks of pork *in* the horchata! We only found out at the end. Mortified. Never ordering here again. read more
