The Scene – The dining room, a fairly modest affair, is a bit garish but doesn't succumb to franchise cuteness. A thatched patio out front, complete with a gurgling fountain, is perfect for groups and people who don't mind things a bit loud. Unobtrusive mariachis perform most nights. – – The Food – Dubbing its fare "Mex-Mex," Pico's offers traditional and relatively exotic dishes not found at typical fajitas-and-frijoles joints. An achiote-seasoned snapper, wrapped in banana leaves, is broiled to perfection. Mancha manteles--pork stew with plantains, pineapple and…

Craving for Beef
by Ladnar at Citysearch
When I get a craving for beef I head to Pico's and order the Huasteca. It's always cooked the way I want it, and served with queso flameado, pico de gallo, and guacamole, it makes the perfect tacos. During the Spring and Fall I like to go in the evening and sit outside by the fountain. The mariachis here play without brass instruments, so they can entertain without deafening the diners.
- Pros: Best Buy for a Steak
- Cons: Very Rarely Gristle

consistant cravings
by ISGRAVES at Citysearch
I've been eating here since early '90's and never been disappointed yet for evening or breakfasts. The house specialty entrees are worth a visit -- better than HUGO's in my opinion. If you think the location isnt that safe, please note that there's a watchman out in the parking lot. The owner seems to always be there, so everyone is working hard to please. I was hoping the sale of the next door real estate would enable PICO'S to have a nicer outdoor venue, but still having to eat in a parking lot when the weather is nice. Since moving from SW Houston, I still come back after trying out the choices in Pearland - nothing compares overall.
- Pros: house specialties, quality, quantity, schooner beers
- Cons: no greenbelt around patio (parking lot) dining
