We were in the area and was hungry so we decided to to give this place a try. I loved the patio, it was such a great night for sitting outside.

The waitress was great. read more

Decided to stop by yesterday afternoon with my friends and we loved it. Everything was amazing from the food to the service ! The restaurant is very homey, but the food is good we got the enchiladas, the carne asada torta & the pozole they were all very good but the pozole could use some more seasoning but its okay because the service made up for it! Marisela was such an outstanding server, very knowledgeable of the menu & super attentive! If you decide to stop by here make sure to ask for her. We'll definitely be coming back for the enchiladas , the aguas frescas & to be served by Marisela for making it a memorable experience! read more

What a hidden gem in Mesa! My day kicked off at 6 AM with an early meeting in Tempe, followed by another one right here in Mesa on this gorgeous Sunday. One of my Mexican clients heard I'm obsessed with Menudo soup and raved about this spot--they do all-you-can-eat (and drink!) Menudo. Sold! By the time my meetings wrapped up around 3 PM, I was starving--no breakfast or lunch in sight. This place is tucked away and looks more like a cozy house than a restaurant, but don't let that fool you. Walked in, and the servers were super welcoming--seated me immediately. I dove straight into the Menudo, and it arrived piping hot in just 15 minutes. The complimentary chips and salsa were on point--warm, crispy chips with a salsa that's flavorful and spicy (a bit much for my taste buds, but still delish!). Opted for the white Menudo (they have red too, but I'm a white soup kinda guy), and oh man, it was perfection. So flavorful and satisfying! The food and service blew me away--I was so impressed, I left a 100% tip. I'll definitely be back soon. If you love authentic Mexican vibes and killer Menudo, check this place out! #MesaEats #MenudoLover #HiddenGem read more

The food is completely amazing, seafood is fresh and very well prepared. Marisela has been our server several times and she always provides exceptional service. The patio is so welcoming and i will be spending many summer evenings enjoying cold beer and fresh ceviche. I cannot recommend this place more, great ambiance and just good vibes all around. Truly a hidden gem, you won't be disappointed read more

Excellent experience! Nancy? was our waitress. Very nice. Bloody Mary's were delish, and food is always authentic and delish.. read more

My husband came to phx for a work trip and heard this was the best place to get menudo . My husband is kinda a snob when it comes to menudo. But he said this is the best he has had in phx. He said it reminded it of his grandmas. read more

Great good. Great service. Authentic Mexican food. Menudo is awesome. Consistently good.

We are new comers to this restaurant. We were so pleased with the food and service we received from Marisela . We love that there's such a variety of food and appetizers, and most importantly the customer service is top notch, ask for Marisela if you try this place out . Weekends could be a long wait , but well worth it. read more

Amazing spot! Food is always delicious! The staff are always super friendly and half off drinks for Happy hour! read more

We have just discovered this place and boy did we find a gem. Everything we've tried has been nothing short of excellent. The Cochonito Tioponcho dish is fantastic. Service is always top notch, Marisela does a fantastic job and always welcomes us and makes us feel right at home. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Came in on a rainy Saturday morning! Young lady in front seated me right away and brought out the chips and salsa which were both very good. Ordered the menudo and a Pacifico. The Pacifico was served in a chilled mug and the Menudo came out quickly! Menudo was very good, tortilla de harina was hot and very good. Service was excellent! They do have a patio area but because of the rain I was seated inside. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other things on the menu! read more

Parrilla Los Picos - Menudo and an ice cold Pacifico! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is the perfect little Mexican dive bar restaurant! I love to come here. Food has been delicious every time...I think we've been there five or six times. The cocktails are yummy and the foos is exactly what you think of a Mexican restaurant of having. It seems clean and my husband says it is the best huevos rancheros on the planet. He is an excellent authority on them as he is almost 70 and has ordered them hundreds of times in hundreds of restaurants. If the man says they're the best you should listen! The service can sometimes be a spotty. I think it is family owned and when they are busy it can be slow or they forget something, but they always make it right and and are very accommodating. This is my new favorite. My niece came with us the last time we went and she was very upset that she was leaving and couldn't go back before her plane left. Yes the food is THAT yummy. read more

Love the albondigas soup it was really delicious , the vegetables were fresh and the broth flavorful! The meatballs were perfectly cooked, the rice on the side was great nicely seasoned! Ordered on DoorDash and everything was very hot and fresh still ! read more

I decided to order place a togo order for Menudo Rojo. Since my husband and I are empty nesters so making a pot of menudo is saved for big occasions. When I tell you this place is legit you bettrr believe it! We are so picky with our menudo, the broth is so clean not greasy, so flavorful, they have this dialed in. The tripe is cook to perfection and they do not skimp on the carne which is a plus for those like myself who love the tripe. I can't wait to try some of their other Caldos. read more

We wanted a margarita for lunch and the business next door recommended this place. The waitress as well as staff were very friendly. We ordered a menudo bowl and huevos rancheros. Everything was delivered pretty quick even though the place was busy with lunch patrons. Now the margarita? Wish I could have ordered a gallon to go. They had some kick to them! Would come here again. Overall great place with nicely decorated interior and exterior patio!! read more

Delicious food! You would most likely drive right by it. This is such an amazing joint and you'll get the most authentic Mexican cuisine. The outside patio is beautiful and the inside is so clean and inviting. We will most definitely be back. The service was great and the margaritas were delicious as well! We only had one tee left with a nice buzz. Now we're home and wanting naps! lol Highly recommend! read more

It's one of my absolute favorite places still, I've been coming for over 13 years now. The place is small but absolutely cozy and well lit. I highly recommend their margaritas and sangria, they're the best I've had in the valley. I love the complimentary chips and salsa that come before the meal too! I still order the Ceviche Tostada, but if anyone at the restaurant reads this, please don't put orange slices with it anymore, it throws off the lime flavor. Thank you! I had the 2 chicken soft tacos also, and those were delicious! read more

I came here for camphana and I can say it's absolutely soooo good. The taste and the mussel, shrimp, octopus, and I believe there's abalone, absolutely very good. Customer services is also good as well very helpful over the phone when I called in an order. The place has a sitting outside and inside was a little small but it's a nice place just casual day to hang out or a good bite of Hispanic food. I had order to go because it was closing time for them but they still took my order. Highly recommend. Will be coming back when I am in town. read more

Great place! I'm from California and was looking for some actual Mexican food and I was NOT disappointed. I had the asada plate and the chicharones, both were delicious! The asada plate comes with enough carne asada I was able to take a piece home and make tacos later! It also come with a side of beans, rice, salad, and tortillas. The beans were good and the rice was fine, I'm not a rice person... The chicharones were a bit different and I thought I would be disappointed but I was not! They come smothered in a slightly spicy tomato sauce but omg they were delicious! Crunchy yet tender! The lady servers were both great! They had people out in the patio and inside the restaurant and they were definitely taking care of everyone. I was planing on coming back while I was there but I wasn't able to. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be back! read more

It's ok, but I found a way to have a nearly $30 quesadilla. I recommend you don't find a way to repeat that.

Best bowls of menudo. Her prefers the posole. The chips and salsa are tasty treats. The help is courteous and a delight. Never had a bad meal. Great patio for winter dining. Margarita are fresh made. read more

Got food poisoning after eating here. Puked and shit myself all night. Not cool. Definitely don't recommend.

Heard about this hidden gem from friends and decided to check it out. We doubled dated with friends and sampled a ton of platters. The drinks were fantastic as well. Our server was a riot! I wanted to try a combo platter but she wasn't having it and I decided to let her surprise me. Glad I did! She was so much fun and treated us as if we were family. We will all definitely be coming back. Don't sleep on this cozy, authentic Mexican food find. read more

My fiancé and i love this place ! We live right down the road, always super good, my favorite is the Carne Asada plate and the Aguachile Plate, next level after some bowls, drinks are fire too! Service is dialed in ! it also feels like your in a little cave read more

The food is amazing and made to order! You can tell they feel pride with the food they make!! Definitely recommend to visit!! if the weather permits, they have a really nice patio!! read more

With all the rainy and cold weather we've been having I was craving pozole! You'd think it'd be easy finding pozole in the Tempe/Mesa area... think again! I'd had pozole from Los Picos once before and remembered it being decent. Bf ordered the 2 crispy tacos combo, beef, and we ordered dessert, flan and sopaipillas. Complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were included with our order. The quart size pozole was $8.99 and came with a huge tortilla and cabbage/onion/cilantro for garnish. The pozole had a good balance of hominy and beef! Overall no complaints about the pozole. The redeeming dish that gives Los Picos 3 stars! The crispy beef tacos were average. The rice was different; not your typical Mexican rice but not bad. The beans were typical refried beans; not made with lard and therefore not for me! The complimentary tortilla chips were average. The salsa however- let me tell you about the salsa! The salsa was definitely store bought... and not even the spicy kind of Pace! Such a disappointment. The dessert was also a huge disappointment! We're not experts on flan but it had no resemblance to crème brûlée as we thought it might. The presentation was nice but we didn't love the orange flavor either. The sopaipillas which should have been light and airy were thick and dense. The only thing they tasted of was the honey it was dipped in. If it weren't for the pozole, would I come back to Los Picos? No. With so many Mexican restaurants in close proximity there are better options. read more

Very disappointed. The chicken tasted weird and when I went to have a look there was a bone in my burrito! Thank goodness I didn't eat it and choke. The rest of the food was good, but this took down the experience significantly. read more

Really nice authentic joint with a nice porch. Great service. We really liked the food you could tell they do things right. Floor tortillas taste homemade. Beans and rice and five star perfect. Warm chips and salsa. My wife had a garlic shrimp plate that show really enjoyed and I have never had a stuffed pepper with potato which I never had before. I also really enjoyed. Much better than most of the Mexican places in the area read more

I've been regularly coming here for weeks now, they've got HUGE "Mini street tacos". I highly recommend the Tiosponchos pork. The portion is huge, and each taco comes with two thicker corn tortillas (they taste handmade!) and a hefty portion of meat so you can split the tortillas to make 4 tacos. read more
