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

Menu

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.

Steak burrito bowl

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.

First of all: Incredible service, fast and classy…read more I went for Valentine's Day, so it was a special menu with wine pairing and it was a real treat. Great ambiance, with a live cover band. As for the food, it was one of the best I had. It was a 8-course meal, and except from the scallops and the lobster bisque that I found a bit too salty for my taste, I'm still giving the chef and staff my full 5 stars. Planning on going back in the summer to enjoy that NYC skyline.

While the ambience was great, we had a lot of problems with the service, food quality, and price…read more Made a booking for dinner, we were seated quickly but nobody else came by to take our order for over 15 mins. When we finally flagged down a server, she first tried to tell us that we could not sit there because they had a reservation coming - we were like 'yeah, that reservation is ours!' After some back and forth, she reluctantly took our order but then came back to say the kitchen was closing! We were starving at this point and rushed in a couple of order for nachos, tacos, and pizza. The pizza was decent, but the tacos and nachos were a massive disappointment. There were just 2 small tacos and some chips on the plate - for $20! And the nachos were 80% chips, hardly any guac, sour cream, and a very small portion of beans. Not worth it to get food here, eat elsewhere then come up for drinks and the view.
