Queso Fundido
Jody T.

Both staff I interacted with were so kind & genuine. Chelsea was very welcoming and helpful! There were so many items on the menu I wanted to order. The 3 tacos I chose were: cactus, avocado & shrimp. They were very well presented and so tasty! The Queso was yummy. I was pleasantly surprised at the corn & sweet potato hash. The ambiance is nice. I'm so excited to recommend to friends at work & family. (I want to try the Pozole!)

Tacos, rice & beans
Bryant G.

We were a group of 7 on foot deciding where to eat in the area and said - hey there's Mexican! We stepped in a long, narrow dining area with cool decor. I couldn't tell if it was going to be cheap or overpriced. Turns out its right in the middle! It was a nice sit down lunch with a great menu. Everyone ordered different things and we all really liked the place! They have a good selection of classic Mexican food and have great salsas!

Trivia: What's the name for a older tortilla soaked in salsa? (Hint: read the delightfully informational menu) Sort of bummed they don't have iced coffee. Or cold brew. But they were very accommodating with the cafe de Olla and cooked it down and placed it over ice. The Ribeye and Eggs and hash was a gargantuan portion for the price! Perfectly cooked steak (a delightful marinade, I think). The hash was maybe, probably, the star of the show. Great seasoning. Good mix of corn and herbs. Not too salty. A good mix of soft potatoes and slightly crunchy. Plenty of hot sauces and TERRIFIC service. Food was out fast. And while you wait, the art and decor was so fun to look at.

Chili Lime Salmon
Eric S.

A fun new Mexican place located in an old historic home in downtown Salt Lake City. We watched this place being constructed and it appeared they did a lot of renovations to this old building to turn it into a restaurant and we were so glad we checked it out. Reservations are available and on a busy night I would recommend it since the place is small until better weather opens up their patio seating options. They offer a full bar so you can enjoy some good libations with your meal. We started with the Queso Fundido. Wow. It came out sizzling in a skillet and was a fun presentation. The flavor was average but still a nice start to our meal. We then ordered Victor's Famous Tamales and Grilled Chile Lime Salmon. The presentation of these dishes was so nice. It's definitely Mexican food with a twist. The tamales had a great flavor and just enough of a kick but not over powering. Served with a side of rice and refried beans were tasty. The salmon looked so beautiful and served with jicama and roasted corn which was a fun twist. After our meals were served Chef Bear even visited our table to see if everything was satisfactory. He shows that he cares about what he is serving at Piko. Parking is very limited at Piko as there are only a few spots in front of the restaurant. Otherwise public street parking is the option nearby.

Pozole on the patio
Breanne C.

I had the pozole and a margarita on the patio with my dog and it was delightful. My server was great, attentive but not too attentive.

Kids cheese quesadilla
Bryce J.

We've been driving by for too long and not trying it yet. Today we finally go in. Perfect little sit down Mexican food. Brunch, lunch, drinks, TV's for game-days. We had the chorizo queso and chips made fresh, carnitas burritos, Horchata, kids quesadillas, and the Birria tacos. We loved it all. Only thing I didn't like was the mango habanero salsa. Pretty sure there was no habaneros in it and it had zero spice. Maybe just an error. The service was great. Quick to sit and quick to get drinks and food. I love the inside atmosphere. Great murals and music. Like the sitting and TV positions. They don't distract if you don't care but everyone can see them in either direction if you do want to watch the game.

Three tacos
Dylan C.

I live nearby and have been driving by the "opening soon" sign for a while so I was looking forward to giving Piko a try. The restaurant is small but it makes for a nice atmosphere. You get one wall that is brightly painted with the other being full glass doors, so it never feels cramped. The service here was also good. We were able to place our orders quickly and the food came out even faster. I got the set of three tacos which were perfectly adequate. I think the main drawback to ordering tacos at a place like Piko is that you can get them for half the price, and sometimes done better, at a few different places within just a couple miles or so. I tried three different meats; pork, chicken, and beef. All of them were good though the chicken a little dry. The side of beans and rice was nice and made sure that I wasn't hungry by the end of the meal. I'll come back since I live fairly close and want to try something that might be more of a specialty.

Pan de muerto & hot chocolate
Alyssa R.

This small locally owned business is a must try! The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was so welcoming and quick! We saw it driving by looking for a new brunch place to try and had to stop and try it, we for sure will be back again to try the dinner!

Saturday brunch is elevated with the mix of traditional Mexican dishes and breakfast staples. So many delicious options and the most friendly and warm service. Highly recommend and will be going back regularly.

Cactus and mushroom tacos with rice and beans (no cheese)
El H.

Our waitress Kelsey was extremely kind and helpful, and I would recommend asking for her specifically if you visit!

Deanne B.

The paintings on the walls is this place are beautiful! The food is very minimal- our fajitas only came with meat, some veggies and the tortillas- no salsa, cheese, sour cream or guac. You have to pay extra for chips and salsa. The servers were nice.

Chicken burrito

Mom took me for my birthday, I had the piko chicken burrito and Mom had chicken tamales, both were excellent, one of the best chicken burritos I've ever eaten, and the service was 10 out of 10

Chicken tacos -- you cannot mix and match meats.
Jarica B.

I have been sooo excited for a taco spot to take up this vacant building in the neighborhood and looked so forward to the opening. Cute decor, nice staff (a little unknowledgeable about the menu) and their drinks looked good but their food was overpriced and lacked flavor. My friend got the chicken tacos, which she said were good and I got the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas didn't have any cheese so it was just sauce, tortilla and shredded chicken. They also didn't allow for any mix and matching with meats, which I always look forward to when going to a Mexican restaurant. I might consider trying it again once they have a few months under their belt.

So of course my wife and I were looking to soak our sorrows in some home-baked pie. So parking was pretty easy around the corner along the street. The pie shop is this long kitchen attached to a super cool thrift shop. That was closed since it was like 8:45pm. We decided to go with the strawberry rhubarb, key lime and apple cobbler. They're essentially little hand pies, like the size of a pop tart. So getting three seems good for two people if you like pie a lot, like we do. We also added two cups of ice cream to go. The girl helping us was nice and engaged conversation when we asked about the thrift shop. Solid service. Once we go home, we heated up the strawberry rhubarb and apple cobbler for one minute. That wasn't long enough so I'd do 1:35 next time. That would ensure the ice cream would melt a bit more. We started with the key lime pie; oh my ... it was epically delicious. This was as good as key lime pie we had in Captiva and The Keys in Florida. Then we dove into the other two. The strawberry rhubarb was 75% crust and 25% filling. I'd love to see more filling there. Compared to a grandma's strawberry rhubarb; it wasn't on par. It was a 3.75/5. Next up was the apple cobbler. A classic. It was pretty much what we expected and so was more on the 2/5 scale. We started so strong with the key lime pie that the bar was set high. Overall a good experience and the night ended on 3 empty cardboard containers filled with crust, melted vanilla ice cream and happy tears of our daughter's new journey. Don't fight it; try the Pie Fight.

The bathroom is hidden to the right of the store walking in. Just a warning, the further you go in the store, the more it smells like bathroom... When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted - which is fine, there were a handful of people inside. While ordering, I had asked what was popular and what the cashier suggests, and she said "matcha". I told her it was my first time but she didn't proceed with any recommendations. I decided to go with the ube matcha with oatmilk. She then asked if I'd like cream with it, I had asked if she suggested it and she responds with "well everyone gets it with creamer". Ok so I agreed to try it out. Why not cause everyone gets it with creamer right? I waited about 10 mins, which isn't bad considering the amount of people. She called my name and had 3 other drinks with her. I asked her if the one she was handing me was with oatmilk , and she says "well that's what you ordered right" I tried it and it wasn't oatmilk. I brought it up to her attention and she kinda just said "sorry" and that was all....unfortunately, I can't say it was the best service. If I decide to come back next time, I'll only get straight matcha instead of a latte just to try again. The matcha didn't have a strong taste to it. It was on the watery side. Perhaps I came on the wrong day a they were off with their orders. Who knows...

If you're looking for pastries that are as stunning as they are delicious, Fillings & Emulsions…read moreabsolutely delivers. Their fruit-shaped creations are little works of art--so realistic it almost feels wrong to eat them... almost. Each pastry is fresh, light, and packed with flavor. The pistachio was incredibly tasty, though definitely on the richer side, so it's one you might want to savor slowly. The raspberry had a beautifully balanced sweetness with a vibrant, delicious filling. The lemon was very zingy--almost intensely so--but still delightful if you enjoy bold citrus flavors (just maybe not an entire one in a single sitting). The standout, though, was the mango. Easily the winner. It had such a bright, powerful flavor, and the fresh mango inside made every bite feel special. Everything about it--from taste to presentation--was just beautiful. The only slight letdown was the macarons. While still good, they didn't quite match the intensity and uniqueness of the pastries and felt a bit underwhelming in comparison. Overall, this place is a must-visit if you appreciate creative, high-quality desserts. It's clear a lot of skill and care goes into every piece. I loved the building that the pastry shop was in, as it had a "lunch room" feel to it. There are a few restaurants inside so there are options and there's plenty of seating.

The sweet cashier recommended Strawberry & Mango, so that's what we got. They were delicious! I think the mango was my personal favorite. The crunch of the chocolate coating was so satisfying and the fillings soft and gooey. It didn't feel artificial either! The location is in a food mall, which I wasn't expecting but it was so cute inside. I wish we had more time to check out the other vendors but we'll have to come back. On a separate note, it was kind of hard to find a trash can.

He had the real revolving gelato freezer cases. Best gelato I've ever had since. This gelato is pretty good, though does not live up to being quite as authentic. I can't put my finger on it, but something about the texture is not quite right. Close, but not 100%. Still very good, though. Regular flavors. No lavender or other exotic flavors that you would find at other true Italian gelato places. But very good flavors. I recommend that you give them a try. You will like it. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!
