Casa De Pico

Didn't have a wait to be dined inside, I did opt for a table by the bar. Service was very good. Renaldo was attentive and extremely helpful. The chips were nice and warm with the perfect amount of salt. The salsa was a big miss for me. Definitely could use a lot more spice to it, or any for that matter. Ordered the Child Verde with flour tortillas. The pork in the Chile Verde was not as tender as I'd like but the chili verde sauce has some good flavor to it. The rice and beans are what you would expect, nothing note worthy. The homemade tortillas, not pictured, were the star here. Biggest downside to this place is definitely the prices of the entrees. They are about 20% more than other Mexican restaurants. If I do return, it would definitely be for the tortillas.

Love the big margaritas, and the musicians were very, very friendly. The food was great and the server and the service was great. Thank you so much.

Great Mexican quisine, we usually go to Mexico for Mexican food. Not anymore. This place has it, and it's good tasting food. They make their own tortillas, giving their food a better taste to it.

Informed they were previously at San Diego's Old Town. Good food, plenty of it. Beans & Rice served in tortilla cups...eat it all..nice! Three soft taco plate...tacos were huge. 10-12oz each. Yummy good! Great decor, prompt waitstaff. Thumbs up!

This place has such a beautiful, authentic atmosphere. The food is delicious and always fresh. They have handmade tortillas and their salsas are very flavorful. The waiters and staff are friendly and make the experience that much more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has such a beautiful design and decor inside and out. Highly recommend dining here.

I ordered the carne asada burrito ($20.95) and my husband ordered the two taco ($18.95) combo plates. Although there were huge chunks of steak in my burrito, it was bland...Even needed salt. Went well with the salsa that they serve with the chips, though.

My family and I have been coming here since they were located in Old Town. I also frequent their two other locations, one still in Old Town, the other in Encinitas. Unfortunately, my family (and everyone I would bring here) will most likely never be back again to any of their restaurants after the latest experience, which sadly was the culmination of several mediocre to poor outings there. I ordered take out today and was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived a few minutes beforehand to make sure I got the dinner as fresh as possible. I was told they were just waiting on one out of the two items I ordered. Ok, cool, sounds great. After 20 minutes of waiting, after a few unsolicited updates about a busy kitchen, and continuing to “wait on one dish,” I asked for the manager who said they would check on my order. I was told they were going to remake everything and it would take 2 minutes. They forgot about it, essentially. After 5 or so more minutes of waiting, I asked for a refund as I didn’t want to wait any longer and was already well behind schedule. The supervisor, Jacqueline, took about 5 minutes to refund my order, despite me saying I wanted to leave, seemingly just spitefully taking as much time as possible to delay even getting me my money back. At no point did she offer anything, or even apologize, and when I asked why that was the case given the level of service, she just gave me a blank stare and said she was going to offer something, but I asked for a refund and now I’m out of luck. She basically let me know that she could have done something (despite at no point offering), but is choosing not to despite wasting an hour of my time with waiting and 30 minutes of driving. I doubt I’ll soon forget the glazed over, almost dead inside (you know that empty stare) look of contempt. It was as if there wasn’t a single strand of care about the situation in the slightest, with that type of response and behavior apparently normalized. It’s a rare thing to see that sort of detachment from any level of normal service industry empathy. Mistakes happen, but utter disregard for an hour of a customer’s time is a clear sign that my 35+ year long relationship with this restaurant ownership group is over. There’s no reason overpriced Mexican food is worth the bad attitude, terrible customer service, and cold entrees. I’m tired of defending this place, the nostalgia from what it used to be is too worn out. It’s just not worth the nonsense to pay almost $50 for two undersized items sitting under a heat lamp for 20 minutes while they figure out what they’re doing for the better part of an hour. All in all, one of the worst take out experiences imaginable. To leave without the food and without even an apology? It’s a joke. I wouldn’t risk it if I were you, try something more authentic, or of better value, or really any place that values your service beyond giving you blank stares while metaphorically shrugging their shoulders at ruining your night, as if that’s just how things operate around there. Receipt is attached to verify. The $5 tip on two items maybe wasn’t enough and offended their sensibilities with take-out tipping, who knows? Goodbye Casa De Pico, you were sliding by on being mediocre, but mediocre with attitude and inconsiderate behavior just doesn’t cut it anymore!

I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. I had the Carne Asada Tampiquena. Everything was perfect. Just like my grandma made “homemade tortillas.” I’m from Texas and I enjoy TexMex and this is the closest thing I’ve enjoyed in California. I would rate this as the “Best Mexican Restaurant I’ve been to in California in the last 30 years.

Primeramente la comida estuvo deliciosa y nuestra mesera Lissette fue súper linda con carisma y amigable. Definitivamente regresamos. Food was so delicious and our server Lissette was amazing. Love how friendly she was. Definitely coming back.

We came in for a quick lunch. We were in the mood for fajitas. We ordered steak & chicken and the guacamole. The food was good. Service was okay. I liked it better when they were located in Old Town. The vibe in Old Town made you feel special and more of a vacation feel ambiance. In location in La Mesa just doesn't have the same feel. Yes! I'd come back because they're a San Diego staple. I love all the colorful decorations and the patio is pet friendly. Usually there's a mariachi band playing but they left as we were coming in for lunch, or maybe they were playing inside the restaurant. ‍.

Came here to celebrate a birthday. Started with chips, salsa, and guacamole. The guacamole wasn't anything too memorable and the salsa tasted watery. For the entrees, we ordered Tequila Lime Shrimp and the #2 Combo (taco, tamale, and enchilada), chilaquiles, and enchiladas. Pretty standard "chain restaurant" type of Mexican food, but the Tequila Lime Shrimp was good. Service was attentive and no problems parking, with the restaurant being on the outskirts of the shopping mall.

Becky had a craving for a margarita so we went to Casa De Pico for a drink and some chips and salsa. We sat at the bar and were helped pretty quickly. A marg a beer and chips and salsa and we decided to order the Queso Fundido appetizer (Melted Oaxacan cheese with chorizo and green chiles. Served with handmade tortillas). Holy shit! The absolute worst Queso Fundido ever! The "melted" cheese had the consistency of bread dough. Seriously, you could've put it in the oven and baked a loaf of bread. There was no way the chorizo could mix in. It was impossible to dip a tortilla chip. It was like trying to dip a chip in taffy. $17.25 for this ridiculous excuse of an appetizer. Took the "fun" out of fundido. In hindsight I should've broken my rule about not sending food back. This definitely needed to be replaced. Instead, I took it home and tried to fix it. I put it into a mini crockpot with a splash of beer. It heated through and became more like a dip, but still had an odd lumpy consistency. We tossed it. An extra star. Becky enjoyed her margarita and my beer was nice and cold. Service at the bar was pretty good. Certainly not worth the $47.74 we paid though.

Big drinks, big dishes, big environment, Casa De Pico is a party inside and out. To celebrate a long weekend I decided to go have a margarita and a nice meal. The Patron Margarita was pretty good sized for it being their "small" and it was delicious. The seafood chimichanga was big and had plenty of shrimp and fish inside. Our waiter was super nice and very attentive. He made sure our special request was taken care of and gave us a heartfelt story about his family too, great guy. If you haven't been here before, they have a live mariachi troop that walks around playing music throughout so it is a bit loud but that's what you come for. In the end a great dinner.

Our family was celebrating our father's birthday and our mothers Mother's Day. We were set pretty quickly. Service was good food on the other hand was just OK. My wife ordered the Carne Asada with the tequila lime shrimp. Carne Asada came out lukewarm had no flavoring and the tequila shrimp had no flavor whatsoever just tasted like regular shrimp. I ordered the Ropa Vieja. there were more vegetables than shredded meat. my mother ordered the street tacos and yet again no flavoring. We'll not go there again. Lino, the restaurant manager got a hold of me, apologizing about the quality of their food and comped one dish I mean, I describe two other dishes that were horrible. This was unsatisfactory. I'm not gonna go back there and waste time and money just for a free dish for me my wife and my mom.

My favorite Mexican restaurant, food is amazing, the mole is delicious, and impeccable service from Luz Elena.

We were seated almost immediately and we chose the patio. The night was nice and the service was good. The food was very good and really everything was just fine. A nice place to go and you should not be disappointed.

Always such a great experience here. The staff is very efficient, attentive, and they know everything about the menu. We came on Halloween Night to welcome a family member who is visiting. They had the nicest Día De Los Muertos display and tribute setup. The whole atmosphere was very celebratory. The hostesses at the front had on their costumes and they were super professional. We were seated immediately, with chips and salsa for the table. We also noticed that in the dining room there was a live mariachi trio making rounds to tables to sing beautiful Mexican folk songs. Our server was Manuel. HE WAS AWESOME. He checked in with us often and he was veery patient and helpful with us while ordering. Our dinners ordered: 1 guacamole bowl & chips appetizer, 2 of the super combination fajitas with steak, chicken, and shrimp and Pico's Chimichanga (wet with enchilada sauce). The food was amazing, as usual. They have a specialty Margaritas menu and it is delicious. I had the melon (honey dew melon) margarita, it was blended, which is not what I wanted, but it was good. They also have non-alcoholic blended slush drinks. The Mango Tango is delicious. Our dinner experience was awesome! Her you will find Delicious, Authentic, Traditional, and perfect Mexican food! You will have a wonderful dining experience. There is also an outside patio with umbrella seating and beautiful decor.

Boss wanted to eat here for her birthday! No reservations were made because we went a little after opening and they were not busy at all. Casa De Pico is located in a mall and next to another restaurant. Parking on this day wasn't bad but it can get difficult around dinner. The 5 of us were sat right away and on patio. It was a nice sunny day. Lizzete was out waitress. She was great and attentive. The food came out quickly and smelling delicious. I enjoyed my beef enchiladas and rice. I wasn't too impressed with the beans.

It's so pretty inside ! Very authentic Mexican culture representation. Service was good. Hosts sear us right away waiter did take a bit but it was busy mid morning weekday Food was deli!!!! We have gone for brunch and lunch everything is good the CRISP is my favorite

I celebrated my birthday here 5/25/25 @ 6 pm with 21 guests and was extremely disappointed. Hot plates were handled unsafely -- one came dangerously close to burning me and my friends, son. My best friend literally had to block it with her purse to prevent injury. The service was chaotic, food was cold, and the staff lacked professionalism, especially for a large group reservation. What was meant to be a joyful celebration turned into a stressful, unsafe experience. I filed a formal complaint directly to Casa De Pico following my report to Department of County of Of San Diego. Environmental health The service I received on my birthday was Unacceptable.

My enchiladas were excellent! I enjoyed the chips and salsa as well. My server was nice and very personable. The restaurant was clean which was very nice as well. The music was a little too loud, but that's just a personal preference!

I've been coming to Casa De Pico for many years even before they moved to this location and I have to say the service continues to be excellent and the food is delicious. Francisco the bartender/server was so attentive, hospitable and kind; including the staff who brought our plates and cleared our table. They never skipped a beat! Francisco made my Pina Colada and he told me they use authentic/fresh ingredients that's why it tastes so good! He made sure we had our fresh basket of chips and salsa flowing and that our food was made just right. Ambiance was decorated nicely for Día De Los Muertos and employees were dressed for the occasion. I highly recommend this place!

Server was amiable. Pretty loud ~ we were there about 12:30pm and quite alot of folks there. Food was much tastier than the last time we were there, but it was not piping hot, which was a disappointment. If the rating was on the food only, 3. Ladies room was very smelly. So on that it would be 2, if that.

We met here to celebrate my cousins birthday. It's a nice size restaurant with a ton of personality. Each order was huge, everyone took something home! Considering the prices it makes it worth it. I split the mole with mom (spicy) and nachos (grilled chicken) either dad. Both were really yummy and despite 3 of splitting the dishes it's amazing we had to go bags! My cousins also enjoyed their dishes. Mom liked the presentation of the good. Only thing a little off was the guacamole which was chunky but not all that flavorful. In all we had a good time and overall the food was good! Even dad was happy!

I've been coming here for decades, even before when it was in old town! I love this place, the atmosphere, the service, the drinks, the food and everything else in between! The food is quality and delicious!

We come here every year on our anniversary to sit on the patio where we met 27 years ago when it was Carlos Murphy's. We were disappointed this year as they told us the patio was closed and wouldn't serve us out there ( it wasn't closed they just wouldn't send a server out). We sat inside the bar area instead and has some drinks and an appetizer. Both our servers were extremely nice and came to check on us often. The tostada we had was definitely not what I expected. It basically looked like the toppings you receive on top of rolled tacos , placed on top of a small tortilla you couldn't see for $8. We definitely won't order that item again.

I love this Mexican restaurant in the East County, specifically in La Mesa. Huge parking lot as it's located in a shopping center. Parking lot does get busy, but I always find parking. I have came here many times and have tried pretty much everything on the menu! My obsession right now is the seafood enchiladas and the chicken fajita salad! The ambience is a little bit loud, but it's a fun atmosphere! The chicken on my fajita salad was tender and juicy! The chicken was charbroiled, and the flavor was delicious! The seafood enchiladas were also very flavorful and they gave you a great amount of protein. Our waitress was good today but not the best. She took a little bit longer to come to the table, but the restaurant was busy so that's OK. Totally understandable. I will be coming back again!

One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while! I ordered - Shrimp & fish taco: Super fresh & delicious! The portion size was huge & it also came with Mexican rice & black beans. They also sing to you for your birthday so that was a nice touch but overall I loved the vibe and all the culture this place brings to the area.

Shredded Beef in my two enchilada plate was so tough I couldn't cut it with a fork & had to chew every bite for quite awhile. Very disappointed with my meal.

In general, the food here is great. If you have a chance to catch the right time when they have the mariachis here, then request a song and enjoy! Food here is always great as well. Gotta take in consideration, most Mexican places can only deliver on one. Good food or good margarita. This place hits both on good. For my personal taste, go with the Cadillac margarita. Much better than the Patron.

Ordered the Enchiladas Mole, very delicious. I love dining here, it is so colorful and beautiful! Service is always good and friendly personalities

This place is great on a Saturday night! It looked busy but we were sat quick. The food was delicious, I got a chimichanga with sour cream and guacamole for $21 but it was a large portion for sure. The mariachi band is also so talented it's such a fun vibe!

Waitress was great, food was good but don't ask for a plastic cup because they have a younger waiter who assumes you're going to transfer alcohol in it and I couldn't even enjoy my conversation with my Company because they kept going back-and-forth watching and watching as if we were going to commit a crime

My first time coming here was wonderful. I ordered the fajitas with skirt steak. Plate was hot, beans and rice were plentiful and tasty. Margaritas were great too. The service was really great as well. The second time I came here and it was just meh. I'm pretty sure the difference between the two experiences was volume, it was really busy on my second visit. With that said, service the second time around wasn't great. Waiter was slow and forgetful. Also, the food just wasn't as good and felt like it was missing something it had last time. I still like this place and it's worth coming to for Mexican food. The ambiance and decor remind me of going to old town without having to drive the distance. This place is definitely worth a shot.

This place is still good but I really miss when it was in old town. I don't think the food has changed much, if at all

I look my son and grandson out for lunch the day before mother's day, we went at lunchtime. It was very busy so we had about a 20 minute wait. Once seated the server, Sonia, served our drinks and took our orders. The wait for our meal was a bit longer than usual but that was not a problem for us. The chips and salsa take the edge off of waiting. The food was excellent. My son had the shrimp fajitas. My grandson had a beef burrito and I had a machaca burrito. One of the best tasting machaca burritos I've had in a long time. Sonia was an outstanding server. Give it a try. Yes, it's noisy but that is because lots of people feel like I do about the food and service.

My sister and I have met for lunch here over the pass couple year and the service has always been quick and efficient! We were seated promptly, provided with chips and salsa and placed our drink order. Our waitress was friendly, and checked on us often during our meal. I ordered the street tacos: two chicken, two carnitas with beans. They were delicious. This restaurant has great atmosphere and festive decorations. 2024(4)

What great place! Nice decor our waiter that has worked there for 30 years was fun and friendly. The food was very good. Great we tried while in the San Diego area. Seafood chimichanga was full of seafood, not beans or rice!

We always come here and the food is good, but i just found a bug in the middle of my enchilada mixed in with the seafood....

Love this place. Usually go for birthday dinners with the family. My usual order is the chimichanga without the red sauce. Also, very cute inside and always good service.

Luz Elena made this experience with my family here the absolute best it could have been. We were here to celebrate my wife's graduation and birthday and could not have been happier with the service! She was attentive, responsive, kind and very patient. If you come here, ask for Elena, she will get it right!!! Thanks Casa De Pico and Elena for making this day so memorable!

We had a very enjoyable EASTER DINNER, tonight with service by JAVIER. Although you may think ham and scallop potatoes for Easter Dinner, this was much better!!! I had the EL BANDIDO. Gonzalo had the SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS SUPREMAS. We asked for a booth because of my disability, and were given one. It was large and roomy, with plenty of space for our delicious food, my cane; and space for me to maneuver in. We are so glad we came to Casa de Pico for this HOLIDAY DINNER!!! When we walked in at 5:00 PM, it was quiet, but it became busier and busier as time passed. When we left at 6:00 PM, it was loud inside. Both Gonzalo and I, give MAJOR REDEMPTION POINTS to Casa De Pico!!!

We've been here many times. It's a bit of an institution in east county at this point. My son is 9 and this is his favorite restaurant. In the past I wasn't too impressed with the veggie tacos but found I do like the veggie enchiladas. The place is pretty large and it is consistently pretty busy. They usually have a large staff and everyone is hustling.

I recently dined at Casa de Pico today 11/2/24 at 7pm. I can confidently say it was one of the worst culinary experiences I've ever endured. Before we arrived we had been put on the waitlist and we were told 10-20 min wait. When we got to the hostess we were told 45 mins despite having a text that our table was ready. The service was painfully slow, with staff who appeared disinterested at best. I understand that we were placed in the corner and next to a huge 2 table birthday party group of 20 people but we weren't given water or silverware for at least 20 minutes. Our server took an eternity to take our order, and when the food finally arrived, it was a train wreck. The food was inedible, cold and so salty you couldn't even eat it. We basically had to fill up on chips. My boyfriend even had to ask for his soda 3 times and the second time he asked a busser who responded by saying he couldn't help only the server could take the drink order... To top it all off, the place was unkempt. Tables were sticky, and the restroom was in dire need of attention. It felt like a health hazard more than a dining establishment. We have been loyal patrons of this restaurant for years and have never experienced this before. To make matters worse, despite returning 3 plates untouched and asking for a manager he gave us a $30 "employee discount" which barely covered a plate and a half. Our check was $150 with automatic gratuity for a party of 6 and the best we were given was $30, unbelievable! Overall, Casa de Pico failed on every level--food, service, and cleanliness. Save your money and your taste buds; there are far better options out there. This restaurant should reconsider its name to reflect the chaos that it truly embodies.

Come siempre , ano tras ano,celebracion del dia de muerto ....hermosa exhibicion. Gracias Casa de Pico! As always, year after year, beautiful dia del muerto display. Thank you, Casa de Pico!

Our server (Manuel) was excellent and well attentive. The food was also excellent and unfortunately we filled up in the chips. They had live music tonight which added to the experience. Couple of areas to point out: - The guacamole that came with the dishes was good, a bit more salt but still quite good. - The carnitas was a bit dry, would have been nice to have had the sauce poured over. Once you put their salsa on it, it was better. Highly recommend this place, looks like they take pride in the ppl they hire and their service.

Don't go if you're celebrating a birthday. I was told I had to order one of their overpriced desserts in order to have them sing happy birthday. Services slow, drinks lame. Stick with hacienda. Better all around!!

Luz Elena R was amazing!!! The service and food were amazing. The mariachi was also beautiful. Definitely coming back again.

Stopped here on Sunday afternoon. The service was very fast after ordering food came out in about the time it took waitress to walk to the kitchen and back, portion size was good, p4ices were anout average for a sit down full service resturant. Party of 4 with tax and tips was right about $120.00. Ordered crispy taco and chili releno, chili releno was slightly underdone and the taco was over done and slightly chewy. Other members of the party had cheese enchiladas, which were also slightly chewy. Live music was available Sunday afternoon.

Great management and our service she's amazing luz Elena is so nice . We will definitely be back

Yikes!! What a terrible meal! We LOVE Casa de Bandini and have ordered the exact same food there so we assumed this would be on par, but honestly I really couldn't find ANYTHING good about this! Even the chips, which are normally great... the first basket was full of the tiny crumbs you get at the bottom of a bag. (Second serving was ok.) Then the waiter apparently got the order wrong. I was having grilled fish and hubby was having fried. When he came back with the second chip basket I asked him if he was sure that he understood hubby's was fried and that mine was gluten free. He said he was unsure but would check. Nope. Not only was hubby's also grilled, but his order was supposed to include rice, but there was no rice. (I'll know tomorrow if mine had gluten!) No time to react - and waiter was gone, not to return until he gave us the bill. Then the food... Presentation was horrible. Strange plates. (Never ever before in my life have I noticed what the actual plate looked like.) Pale WATERY fish that soaked the tortilla on plain cabbage. A cup of pico on the side. We asked for pinto beans. I admit that I did love them, but hubby did not. He picked at his fish and I ate one of my tacos. Remember that we had had this same meal at Bandini and it was so big we could not finish it. This meal was half the size. When the waiter returned he never asked us anything about how we liked anything. And we didn't want to get into a litany of complaints. We just wanted to get out. Strangely I must say, for 11 am the whole place was packed.

Why do I not go here more often??? Food- had the enchiladas ranchero, chile rellenos, tacos, fabulouso Mexican favorite, something else, and chips and salsa. All of it was absolutely tasty. The salsa was so good I ordered a tub to go. Love that the refried beans had some whole pieces in it. And the use of the tortilla as a bowl for the rice and beans...brilliant!!! Strawberry and lime margaritas were very good. Service- top notch. There were very attentive and worked really well together. Everyone helped everyone and it seemed they have plenty of servers working. Ambiance- love the decor. It was great for my six year old. She loved looking at all the decorations. Seriously, really great place. Prices were very reasonable as well.

For longtime San Diegans, this is comfort food. Like El Indio and Jimmy Carter's, this is Mexican a los gringos, at it is fabulous. My friend and I were just discussing how amazing it is that they are CROWDED on a Sunday night with such a large footprint. It is a testament to a restaurant that knows its audience and does not mess with the recipe! They have a hotter hot sauce, that is smoky and just gorgeous with the seafood enchiladas supreme (which can be a little "one note" with the cream sauce). Do it! It's wonderful. We arrived at 7:30 on Sunday night and I feel like the waiter was a little neglectful, but we got our food, so not horrible. Most importantly: Casa de Pico retains bus staff so the tables are cleaned!!

Food, service , and atmosphere is great fresh made tortillas are awesome you can make reservations by calling the restaurant and live mariachi band is a very nice touch.

Stop that casa de Pico and try it there carne asada and shrimp plate with a pina colada the service was amazing the food was great!! Whole time we were there we really enjoyed ourselves and the ambience was just right! If you're ever near you have to try it out it's very similar to Casa Guadalajara in Old Town in fact we were told by the waitress they're the same owners! Awesome place!

This place is so much fun during the weekend as there is a mariachi on-site. We have been here several times with a toddler and an infant. The staff has been friendly and accommodating each time. The main and kids menu have many options. We have tried chile verde, enchiladas suizas, mole enchiladas and guac enchiladas. I'm a big fan of the mole enchiladas and chile verde.
