Reviews for Picoso's Mexican Kitchen in Lubbock, TX
Place is beautiful inside and out. Service was great, but the food? was another story. The brisket tacos meat legit tasted like... dog food and the other food we ordered was honestly not what I expected it to be. Not surprised there is an ?included gratuity?on the check. They probably know the food isn?t that good. Read more
A wonderful dining experience. This place not only has really great food but the service was top-notch. Our server Veronica was... right on it and was very very helpful with the menu and drinks. This place is unique in that each month they take a charitythis month it is oncology at the children's hospital in certain food items and drink items they give a percentage of that whenit is purchased in the restaurant. They were very kind to show us which items on the menu and I really felt that that was agreat idea to give back to the community. I would highly recommend this place it's good and it's good for the community. Read more
The nachos were great, but the best part? Desert! But also, every month they raise money for a good cause in the community. This... month it's the new floor for the Children's Hospital at Covenant. Part of the proceeds from the Churro Ice Cream Donuts went tothe cause! and it is AMAZING! Thanx for the great service Ethan. Read more
One of the most terrible experience i?ve had. Photo of corn tortillas attached. Grease drenched and nasty. After sending... tortillas back this is the picture of the order sent to correct the problem. The food was plain and the place was near empty. see picture. I struggled to find something to order that didn?t look like a ?mush? meal. I requested the waitress show thegrease soaked tortilla to her manager due to it being the tortillas received after sending the first ones back. Managementdidn?t come to our table which makes me think they know how bad it is and have simply given up or simply don?t care. This issupported by few replies to one star reviews. I know they are seen due to replies being made to the good reviews. Little to NOattempt to correct or show concern at all both in person and online. My first experience a year ago was equally asdisappointing but wanted to give them another opportunity. I won?t be giving them a third. In a word ?YUK? Read more
Judging by how nice the restaurant looks outside and inside i though the food was going to be at the same level, i was hoping... for more delicious food, don't get me wrong the food is ok but it didn't make me want to come back for more, the service wasgreat very friendly and polite waitress.

I had never heard of this place and just saw it driving by. So I whipped a U-turn and pulled in for lunch. I love trying new... places. I know it is a gamble, but life is too short not to take risks. Well, I got bit on this gamble. Picoso's is just onemore cheap Southwest cuisine restaurant made up to look like a fancy dining joint. They do not serve authentic Mexican food herethat I could see. Certainly nothing that would resemble anything you would get at a traditional restaurant in Mexico. Don't getme wrong, Southwest cuisine done right is amazing, and I love it as much as the next person but it is not Mexican cuisine. Itjust frustrates me that I go in a place called a "Mexican Kitchen" and they don't serve Mexican cuisine. So let me rate thefeed we did have here. Chips and Salsa These were actually not that bad. I have certainly had worse. However, they were notthat great either. The salsa had a little more bite to it than other texmex joints, but it was pretty much just tomatoes withno other detectable elements. It was too salty as well. The chips are house-fried tortillas, which were pretty decent comparedto other places that serve chips out of the bag. So that is one good thing. Chicken Tortilla Soup: I love soup, so when I sawthey were serving Chicken Tortilla soup, I got excited and ordered it. When it came out, it was tiny (see the picture); about asmuch soup as you could fit in a regular coffee cup, or the dish the salsa came in. They gave me a literal tiny ice-tea spoon toeat it with (so they know it is not that much), and it is only nine bucks! I dipped my spoon in, picked it up to take a bit,and the cheese stretched from the bowl to my mouth! OMG! It was so salty I almost spit it out. It was a bowl of melted cheesewith some tortilla strips, that was it. I dug through the whole bowl, trying to find a single piece of chicken, and there wasnone. I would call this CHEESE soup, because it certainly was not Tortilla Soup! I to Read more
Was a little out of the way from the main stretches but worth it. Started with a great app. Then moved into the main course. The... waiter was helpful with suggestions. Started with the supreme queso. It was fantastic. The chips did run out pretty fast and wehad to flag the waiter for more. Then the main course of the loaded avocado and the avocado enchiladas. Both were amazing!Highly recommend this place. Read more
Food was great except steak was over cooked. Ordered steak and ribs. The ribs were amazing! The steak i ordered medium rare. I... got a delicious steak but was cooked to like a medium well. Steak was still tender and flavorful, just over cooked. Other thanthat, great service and delicious food. Read more
