Editorial Review for Pico's Mex-Mex Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

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 raisins--is a succulent surprise. Dark, smoky mole sauce turns common enchiladas into a treat. And the stuffed poblano chili, awash in walnut-flavored cream and pomegranates qualifies for fine-dining credentials.

I have only been to Pico's once, but the seafood enchilada's are to die for! The atmosphere was very fun and was there with 5 other people and the service was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you love seafood enchiladas!

Tantalizing Mexican food and top-shelf tequilas are a potent combination at this Bellaire favorite.  See the full editorial review.
