First time in here. Came for a drink and ended up splitting the sample platter. Food was amazing. Had great taste! Not your ordinary Mexican restaurant. Tasted very authentic. They Tequila Bloody Mary was very satisfying. I will be back to enjoy other plates.
So a couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to eat at this restaurant in the square of Independence, across from the courthouse. El Pico Mexican Restaurant. I was waiting for my appointment and had a serious craving for something REAL. Xavier greeted me, and I sat down. It took some time for me to figure out what I wanted to eat because everything they offered sounded so good!! In the meantime, chips and salsa were served, and BoyOBoy was that salsa delicious!! I decided on a steak Chimichanga, and Xavier had my dish made exactly how I wanted it! It was so delicious and so filling. I didn't even finish the whole thing I ordered a churro cake for dessert, took pictures, and boxed it up to go. It was so delicious, soft, and jam-packed full of spice. I left here soooo stuff and so pleasantly surprised that in the heart of Independence, I got a firm taste on culture and it was delicious!! If you're ever in the area, or even if you're not... spend some time and go check them out!! They have amazing specials each day, literally something for everyone! (Check all the photos for more details on that) If you stop by, tell Xavier I sent you!!
Stopped by to have a quick lunch and was impressed. We do not get to Independence Square very often but we're impressed by this place. The prices were reasonable and the food was tasty.
The food was good. The salsa was delicious and the spicy cranberry margarita was out of this world!!! But the service…… The service was 10/5. I had to give this place the full 5 stars…wish I could give more. We left our car key behind and the server chased us down (she sprinted) two blocks to return it to us. I am very grateful.
This is my favorite locally owned Mexican spot and it’s on the historic Independence square! Service was excellent and the food was fresh and tasty! My chicken fajitas came to the table sizzzzzling! The margaritas were a perfect complement to the meal.
What a great experience my friend and I had at this establishment. I wasn't expecting much as we just went in for a quick bite on a taco Tuesday night. We ended up having a delayful conversation with the female manager on site. They also had some of the best salsa that I got for encounter. My friend agreed. The tacos were fresh and delicious and the pricing was just right! And oh! Amazing Margarita!! I will definitely be returning!
So delicious. I was so stuffed. The salsa is delicious. The food is delicious and the service is amazing. Our server Stephanie was super sweet and was genuine. This was my first time here but it definitely will not be my last. Tremendous!!! Excellente!!!!
