    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.

    Stellar taco shack vibe a little bit off the beach. Food was fire, got the chorizo taco and they…read moreput so much in these its beautiful. Guac here is insanely creamy and so vibrant lol idk it was really nice to look at. Pineapple Mint Juice was awesome, also creamy but in a refreshing way.

    This is a great place for a meal before or after going to the beach! Came here for lunch before…read moreheading to Rockaway beach and got fish tacos, black bean cheese and plantain tacos, and chips and guac. The chips and guac are great. The chips weren't stale at all and the guac is really fresh and nice portion size. I love plantains so I was excited for the black bean, cheese and plantain tacos but was soo disappointed. I was excited to see a nice portion of plantains on the taco but when I bit into it, it had a slightly chalky texture , a bit too firm, and not sweet enough but rather a little bitter. This made me think maybe the plantain wasn't ripe enough so this affected the overall execution. I've had fried plantains lots of times at other places and they're always crispy, soft and sweet so this was a huge letdown. I didn't end up finishing the taco or plantains. To end on a much better note, the fish tacos were REALLY good. The fish is big, fried perfectly without feeling super oily. The slaw adds a nice refreshing crunch and I love the sauces and guac added. It's a great mixture of flavors and probably the best fish tacos I've ever had. I will definitely be getting these and the chips and guac next time I'm going to the beach!
