This restaurant has a good atmosphere and offers a unique menu that leans more towards Mexican cuisine than Tex-Mex. While it does offer both, this distinction is a positive for this establishment.
I ordered the lamb mole coloradito and the flan, both of which were quite good. However, I gave it a 4-star rating because, considering the price and the level of competition in Houston’s Mexican restaurant, the food could still be improved. The atmosphere could also have a more authentic vibe.
The mole was well-balanced and flavorful, but it could have been even better. Overall, it was a good meal, but there’s room for improvement.

This food was terrible 😔. ALL of it! Even our drink tasted like they added pickle juice to it. I had already planned on doing a review good or bad but I hate that it ended up being bad. The mole was bland, the pork and plantain, bland. The pork was extremely tender I'll give them that. The black beans bland, the rice, was an the only thing with a hint of seasoning.
But the place was packed so obviously our taste buds are different.

Picos was SO good. We went last night and everything was incredible. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and the whole atmosphere was just so fun. What truly made the night special, though, was our waitress, Yesmin. She was so kind, attentive, and had the brightest, most positive attitude. She made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we sat down and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. It's rare to come across service that leaves such an impression, and she definitely did. Good service can completely change a dining experience, and Yesmin definitely did that for us. We'll 100% be back, and hopefully we'll get her again!
