Best chicken in Tampa Bay Area !!! Today I went to a different place closer to my home and I will never do it again ! Pico rojo number 1 ! read more

Awesome simple menu. The sides are everything. Great restaurant will definitely be back

This restaurant has won "Best of the Bay" so many times and I'm embarrassed to say I had not been there. The owners are special! Great service, cute place, and a nice selection of food. Their specialty: chicken! Their chicken salad was delicious. For us Latin food lovers, try their rice & beans or yuca! Their empanada is very flavorful. I recommend you going there several times and trying something different every time! All delicious so far! read more

Pico Rojo - Variety of drinks - Latin American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

EXCELLENT chicken! We order Pico Rojo delivery sometimes twice a week. The sauce is great too.

The food is delicious. The chicken and vegetables are so tasty, but my favorite is the pico rojo sandwich . The fried yuca is the best anywhere! Owner is a great guy read more

Chicken was small and dry. Very small serving of yucca. Tried it twice and same experience. It's a shame because we love Peruvian-style food. read more

My whole family loves Pico Rojo! We eat here regularly. Service is quick and the restaurant is cozy inside. The vegetarian options are delicious - we especially love the rice and beans, tostones, fried yucca, vainitas, and the cosecha salad. The two sauces that come with the yucca and tostones are the best - the green is spicy, and the yellow is creamy. They are the perfect pair! I like to support this local, family owned business with quality ingredients and delicious food! read more

I was in town for a business meeting and was looking for a Latin Cuban place to eat at. I found several yelp and Google reviews on this place and all had great reviews on how good the food tasted. I ordered the half chicken which was a rotisserie style chicken that came with fried plantains and, rice and beans as my sides. For dessert I ordered the cheese empanada with powdered sugar. For starters, the chicken was succulent, juicy and absolutely well seasoned and delicious. The sides were on a whole Nother level. The fried plantains were some of the best that I ever had, this restaurant would get a five star review just on the food quality alone however when it came to the staff, the ambience and the selection of food I was truly impressed. This restaurant was as authentic as I can imagine for Latin food in Tampa and was 100% what I expected when trying to find the best Latin food in town. in the restaurant, you can see that it had multiple of wars from the city and I completely agree with every single one of them. Great feature of this restaurant was different types of Latin soda that they had available. I chose to have a pineapple soda, which really complemented all the savory foods that I had. my thoughts please come out to try this restaurant. He won't be disappointed and don't forget to try the cheese empanada as a dessert. The dessert had a flaky crust perfectly melted cheese on the inside and had the perfect amount of savory and sweet at the same time. I definitely will be back on my next visit to Tampa and highly recommend any visitors or locals to come to this place. read more

Last minute hunt for lunch in the area brought me to Pico Rojo and I'm so glad it did. This Latin America restaurant is casual cool found in a strip mall off of McMullen booth and enterprise. I was a bit concerned when it was empty at 1pm but there were still plenty of take out orders coming and leaving. This isn't a traditional restaurant with servers but rather order at the counter from the menu on the wall and either take it to go or they bring to your table. Similar to some fast food places. The main fare is roasted chicken. I had the meal with white chicken and 2 sides. Sides were fried cheese and sweet plantains. Drinks you choose from the fridge. Latin America options, American options and imported beer. The chicken came with two small sauces that were good. $14 minus the drink If you're looking for fast but not fast food lunch and are in the Clearwater McMullen booth area check it out! read more

Chicken hot off the spit here is amazing. White meat is every bit as juicy as the dark meat, which in rotisserie chicken land is truly a sight to behold. Tender and well seasoned chicken, it goes great with either sauce. I really appreciated that one of them was super spicy, while the other was creamy to balance the two out. Sides are also really good. Yucca fries are super crisp and not the least bit greasy, begging to be dunked in the aji sauce. Sweet plantains are super ripe and bursting with a nice sweet contrast. Rice and beans were also well seasoned and I enjoyed them, which really says something cause I normally hate beans. The fried cheese was also a pleasant surprise as it had a nice squeak and was different but probably the best of the sides in flavor. Note that when they say the whole chicken will likely feed 2-3 people, it's probably true as the chickens are on the smaller size which helps them cook better and the sides are relatively small, but put all together it's a good amount of food. read more

Pico Rojo is amazing. Glad I found it. Came in clutch when I'm too busy for a home cooked meal. Chicken is great! I order extra sides because they are all good. read more

Cozy small shop with enough variety of dishes to choose from. The cashier was friendly and the inside is nicely decorated. There's enough parking. There is seating inside and outside. The rice with black beans was my favorite. The chicken empanadas was my less favorite. read more

Pico Rojo - Chicken Empanada and Sweet Plantains - Latin American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Seriously, the best chicken can be found here. They have 15 seasonings and they roast it overnight. It's not dry whatsoever. I ordered the whole chicken with four sides and said it's for two people and they divided our plates so it was nice and perfect. Their sides are so good. We had fried bananas fried Dominican cheese, corn, and fried yuca. They serve it with a yellow(mild) and green(spicy) sauce and when you mix it together, it's just perfect. Wash it down with your favorite spanish soda and you will be happy. I had Guarana and my hubby had postabon!! Love sitting outdoors. It's older inside. The owner and people working are super nice also! read more

Ahhhh soooo gooooooooooood. All of it. I've tried it all. Healthy choice. Always am picking up, don't dine in.

Uber eats came in clutch tonight. Didn't feel like cooking and wanted something different. Pico Rojo was absolutely the move. I went with the whole chicken and 4 sides platter and i would say that it feeds two people full or 3 people kind of full. Chicken was wonderfully seasoned and much more moist than I was excepting. Loved the Latin influenced flavor and tender meat that came off the bone easily. You can tell they've got the cooking time down perfect with their chicken. While the sides were a little small, everything was delicious. Genuinely thought everything was good. There's a very high chance this is the place I'm going to next time I'm craving South American flavor read more

Pico Rojo - a box of food on a table - Latin American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

One of my favorite restaurants in the area. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, the sauces are amazing and the sides incredible too! Consistently awesome food. read more

Love! This Safety Harbor hole in the wall is so authentic and appetizing. I've been here multiple times and every time it is exactly what I am craving. Service is quick and reliable. I always get the chicken meal with rice/beans and plantains. They serve it with two house made sauces: one spicy green sauce and then a white sauce for the chicken. Definitely worth the hype on this one. read more

I enjoyed this place. I picked up food for my friends and I and they raves about the chicken. I got their gift cards because they were having a special and took my parents and they enjoyed it even more. The ají sauce is the right amount of heat. I had their yungas which is everything I would eat at home, rice+beans, tomatoes, plantains, and queso frito (which is the best). Definitely coming back. read more

I hate to give only three stars, and it certainly wasn't lacking flavor, but stick with me and you'll soon understand. We ordered the family size whole chicken with yucca fries, maduros, rice, black beans, and french green beans. The chicken itself was excellent. Of the sides, the yucca fries were amazing, the green beans were tasty, the maduros were average (I personally didn't like them - and I've NEVER turned down maduros), the rice and beans were average. The size of the sides for the family meal were tiny. They would have fed two people... maybe. If you weren't very hungry, it might.There were four yucca fries. FOUR. And that was an option for the family meal sides. Service was ok. No complaints but nothing outstanding either. For the price, we expected more from a "family size" meal. We certainly won't go out of our way to go back. read more

We've been longtime fans of Pico Rojo. Everything is always fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong with a chicken and sides. We love to get white rice, black beans, and plantains. The prices are great as you get a lot of food. And don't forget about the two sauces that come with the chicken - so good! If you want a meal that's filling but still tastes home cooked and not overly fried or greasy, check out Pico Rojo. And get an Inca cola! read more

Fantastic every time. Food is fresh, flavor is amazing . Service is fast and friendly....

I'm not a big chicken fan but it was excellent and the sides were great too for be a small restaurant in the strip mall it was very good

I ordered the half chicken rotisserie dinner (delivery) and the food was delicious! My sides were black beans and rice and green beans (vainitas). There were also two sauces that were very tasty. I loved my dinner. They also used sustainable packaging, most of it was compostable, which is very responsible. I am glad I checked the restaurant out! read more

Excellent food and taste! Sabroso! I tried the vegan option and it had a lot of flavors. Good choice if you are in the Clearwater/ Tampa Bay Area. read more

Pico Rojo - Latin American Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Why 5 stars? Because my wife tells me to get chicken from here at least twice a month and it is AWESOME! Love getting take out from Pico Rojo. We usually have 3-4 people and can get by with a whole chicken + 4 sides meal. Everything they sell is delicious and reminds us of some of the Rotisserie chicken places we've tried in South America and the Caribbean. Everything from the Tostones/ Plantain Chips/(Patacones for you Colombian's out there), to the Fried Sweet Plantains, to the Black beans and rice are very good. The dipping sauces they serve are also delicious....but be careful with that green sauce! It's spicy! The yellow sauce I believe is some sort of mustard/mayo mix that tastes great to dip the chicken or Tostones in. Would totally recommend this to someone who wants to try something different to takeout other than the run of the mill Pizza or Chinese joint. Or, go dine in! They have plenty of seating inside too. read more

The food was wonderful! They have tons of gluten free options! We would highly recommend Pico Rojo!

Who knew this Latin American gem was hiding in an otherwise boring strip mall? We went late at night, but the service and food were still on point! Not a huge fan of the sauces since one is an uber-spicy jalapeno and the other is mayo-based, but I don't think you really need the sauce anyway. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and they know what they're doing. I'm also a sucker for sweet plantains, so I was happy. To the Nut-Free Peeps: They use peanut oil for all of their fried items! read more

Excellent quality carribean style food. Best tostones, yuca and sweet plantains around! Chicken is juicy and delicious. I will be going back for more! read more

I am a super fan of Pico Rojo. This is the best tasting chicken I have had. The food is Bolivian style and it is seasoned to perfection. My wife and I are regulars, and the consistency and flavor keep us coming back. My favorite is the 1/2 chicken, vainitas (green beans) and tostones (fried plantains). It is hard to not order the grilled white cheese which is so tasty. The couple of times we have had dessert, it has been on par with the rest of the food. One of the best things about this business is that it is family owned and operated. The people are so nice and we really enjoy the experience and atmosphere of the restaurant. Long live Pico Rojo! read more
