Pica's Mexican Taqueria

Our very first meal in Jackson, Wyoming was a delicious one. My research I had found that Pica’s Mexican Taqueria had received good reviews, so we gave it a try. We were not disappointed. Pica’s is a simple walk up, order and pay, and then you find a seat and they bring the food to you. The prices weren’t too bad, especially considering you’re in Jackson where everything’s a little bit more pricey. I went with the chicken mole poblano enchiladas, and my wife got a wet burrito. The food was excellent. Very delicious, and full of flavor. We are used to getting chips and salsa/beans/cabbage upon arrival, but at Pica’s you have to pay for it. And unfortunately, it wasn’t until AFTER we paid for chips and salsa, that I saw their cheezey chorrrizo bean dip. So we got that as well. And THAT was EXCELLENT. The tortilla chips were crispy, salty, and delicious. Pica’s has a self-serve water station, and we also got some drinky-drinks. My wife enjoyed their margarita so much, she had a second. The inside seating was packed, so we found a nice spot outside. We ate as much as our stomachs could hold, and took the rest to go. My wife and I love us some Mexican food, and where we live in Central Cali, I’d argue we have some of the best Mexican food outside of Mexico itself. So to be honest, my wife was not expecting much from this Wyoming spot. But this was excellent. We highly recommend stopping for a meal if you ever find yourself in Jackson.

Ohh!! The food was soo yummy. The portions are decent. We had open burrito and enchilada. Both tasted real good and we even took burritos for dinner. You can customize and the service is good. There is decent parking available which could get busy during noon especially on weekends, but the place offers such tasty food with warmth.

My husband and I really loved it. I got their soup of the day a Corn Poblano, I loved it especially after a day of skiing. My husband got the chicken Al carbon and he could tell they were fresh beans. Big win

Had a great, low key dinner at Pica’s. It was on a Saturday night and the restaurant was crowded but the atmosphere was lively and tables were turning over quickly enough that you didn’t have to wait for one long. It did take about 30 mins to get our food since they had a big rush right when we got there (this the 4-star service rating) but it was to be expected. Great margaritas and pico. Outdoor seating an option too.

Pricey for what is served. I had a torta with breaded chicken breast, where I didn’t see that ground bread anywhere, until I looked closely it has like a super thin layer of it, almost nothing, Milanezas should be well breaded. The kind of bread as a bun that they offer is someone so different from a telera bread. The tacos al pastor we got also had nothing to do with it, I know I can’t expect real Mexican food but this place was too far from any expectations. When we arrive to order and then we try to sit down we noticed that almost all the tables where dirty, there just 2 tables occupied by customers. In the other hand it was very uncomfortable to see that PDA (Public Display of Affection) from this girl cashier towards his boyfriend in front of the cashier counter, too many hugs and kisses for at least 20 minutes in front of customers. Management should do something about it, because me, also a manager, I would not tolerate this unprofessional behavior.

Salsa is good. Fresh...but needs a bit of puree to be better. Too chunky and falls off chips. Chips are way too thick but have good flavor. We ordered a couple carne dishes. Meat was overcooked dry and chewy. Rice was not fluffy. Flavor was OK. Black beans were unedible. Taste was bland with a slight soapy aftertaste ( to me). Not certain what dishes warranted the recommendations on the net. Staff was very helpful. Atmosphere is clean and casual. Restroom was clean.

Tacos were cold. Unfortunately, this felt like a place that’s been around a long time and may have lost some attention to quality and service. Disappointed bc it used to be my favorite. Also took like 30 minutes for some tacos

Guy at the counter very nice. Ordered the carne Asada burrito wet. Was full of meat and very very good!!! Got the wrong side taco that I ordered. Definitely recommend.
