Pico De Gallo

It sure looks like this place is closed down. There is tape and plastic on the windows, and no lights. Anyone know?

Love this place. Big portions great price, lots of flavor. Try the charolita with barbacoa or carnitas. Friendly staff. Fresh juices are really good too. Never as busy as taco riendo next door but it’s just as good. Why does Unilocal beg me to write more? Free content that they somehow make money on. Take all Unilocal reviews with a big grain of salt. Use your instincts. I eat here once a week.

Pros: good prices, portion sizes and good flavor.
Cons: service is on the slower side, wasn’t as spicy as I would have liked it to be

When in with my bro for our usual and the service this last time was horrible. She paid more attention to either her friends and/​or family then us trying to order.

Great food and great service. I had the San Diego burrito which had fries inside… It was really good and really filling. I also love a place that gives you free chips and salsa when you dine in. Plenty of variety on the menu for vegetarians as well. Have yet to try the juices.

Great food! Excellent burritos and outstanding veggie platter. The salsas are awesome.
Great staff! Service is a priority and the staff is outstandingly attentive.
Extremely friendly!
Wonderful fresh juices and smoothies. The mango peach smoothie is bombski!

Love this place! It’s very clean inside, staff is super friendly and the overall feel is very cozy and family oriented. The guac is amazing too. Only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because the décor inside is very simple and a little cheap looking. I’ll forgive them for that, though, because they make it up in the food!!!

This place is bland, blah, and boring!
My boyfriend and I went in on a rainy Saturday. Nobody was there. The place looks CLEAN and that’s the only props they get.
Their veggie burrito was SUPER bland even with all the ingredients they put in there (beans, rice, veggies, etc) and my boyfriend’s Carne asada burrito was falling apart and dripping from all the grease.
The guy behind the counter was super friendly but the chef was SUPER MEAN and CRABBY! Wth, dude.
We waited for like 15 minutes for our food and while waiting the place started to filling up and the line grew longer. One counter guy, one chef, and oh yeah! The other chef lady who was watching the crowd grow while she sat and ate her food. I’m assuming she was on break. But I’ve worked in the foo industry too. Even if you’re on break and the place fills up, you get up and help out! Pretty ridiculous…
Anyways, this place sucks.
Go the extra distance and hit up El Taco next door.

So yummy. I ordered this through BiteSquad with my sister, her roommate and her boyfriend and it was so good. Happy to support a small, local business. Their tacos with steak are fantastic! Highly recommended.

Fantastic tacos! Carnitas and Steak tacos were delicious. Chicken burrito was very good. Will definitely be back!

This restaurant is very good. Amazingly fresh ingredients. I had a steak burrito and it was very good. The steak was seasoned well and of high quality. The burrito was simple, but what struck me was how fresh it tasted. And during lunch it is $ 5, quite a good deal. They also make smoothies and juices here. I did not try, but I watched them make one and I can say I will try next time. Menu is simple. Prices are good. I will definitely come back to try more!

As a central avenue resident, I was excited to see yet another restaurant enter the already bountiful market. I was skeptical at first– since el taco riendo is right next door, I figured pico de gallo was destined to fail. However, my boyfriend and I actually preferred pico to its larger, brighter competitor. It makes sense to compare the two in turn.
El taco riendo’s service has been noticeably lacking lately. At pico, however, we were greeted, served, and thanked by a super friendly staff. Their guacamole is bounds better than riendo’s. Plus, at pico you actually get a side with your quesadilla/​taco/​burrito, whereas taco riendo charges extra for sides. My boyfriend claims the steak burrito at pico was better than any of the burritos he has had next door. We shared an orange carrot juice, which was fresh and tasty (though overpriced).
Overall, we would be inclined to choose pico over taco riendo next time we crave Mexican food.
All in all,

I’ve tried a couple of items so far: mulas were good and not something I’ve seen elsewhere. Filling was typical steaks, beans, etc, but the dough was thick, more like a griddle cake thingy. What really sold me were the chicken enchiladas which come with a vibrant red crimson sauce that’s fresh and has a good spice kick to it. The freshly squeezed juices, if you go with that, are cheaper than you’d pay at places that specialize in just that, but I’ll probably be too full from getting those enchiladas again to have any room to try them. Oh, and they put a little mango in their pic de gallo: I’m a fan.

Found this place through Groupon. With so many similar places to try on Central Ave, it probably would’ve taken us a good year or so to go without the little extra motivation from the deal. Pico de Gallo is outstanding. My wife had the chicken quesadilla and I had a barbacoa burrito. The ingredients were very fresh and everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and while it looks like they’re still getting their feed under them, it appears that it will be successful long-​term. The fresh juices are worth the stop on their own.
I’ve had some other friends recommend Pico as well. definitely worth a try.

Great place! Has the «food truck» feel to it, great ambient and friendly staff. Feels like family in there. I had he tacos and oh my fire grilled meat comes a long way, I loved it. I highly recommend this place!

We were going to Taco Riendo and saw the sign for $ 5 burritos and decided to give it a try. I had the barbacoa burrito. It was really fresh and the meat was delicious. i saw that they have Hoagies as well which I will be trying next time.
I defiantly recommend this place.

Still trying to figure this place out.
We went on a Monday night and split the fish tacos and the veggie platter. The fish tacos were okay (not bad, but not full of flavor). They had to substitute these fried potato things on the veggie platter for some regular veggie tacos – we were in love! Lots of mushrooms and they tasted so fresh.
Later in the week we were still thinking about the veggie tacos, so we decided to go again. This time we were completely underwhelmed. The mushrooms had been replaced by a bunch of beans and pico de gallo (there were a couple of mushrooms). All we could taste was bean… and salt.
Different cooks on the nights we were there. Hoping the mushroom tacos come back.

This place is great! The inside is decently decorated and reasonably clean, especially compared to a lot of the other places on Central Ave in NE. I went with my husband, he had steak tacos and I had the chicken tacos. DELICIOUS! He wouldn’t share his with me so I assume they were good, and my chicken tasted so fresh and juicy it was great. The guacamole is also to die for! Some of the best guac I’ve ever had. We will absolutely go back for lunch all the time (no alcohol – bummer!) and we are so excited that another tasty place like this opened up near our house.

Everything was very fresh! The fish was pan fried for the tacos. Much much better than deep fried! The guacamole could use more spice but was freshly made. Other places may want to take a hint and offer fresh juice as well! Other than some minor personal opinions on the local taco joint scene, for a newly opened place I will certainly return! Great staff too!
Music was good especially for hipsters.
