Very tasty food and a great experience overall. We ordered the chicken thigh and breast, as well as the Pico Loco salad with shrimp, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared. The portions were satisfying and the ingredients tasted high quality.
The staff were genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even better. It’s refreshing to see a place run by young people who are clearly motivated and passionate about their work. Supporting local businesses like this really matters, and Pico Loco definitely deserves it.
If you’re walking on Saint-Jean Street and looking for a casual spot with good food and a positive vibe, this is a great choice. We enjoyed our meal and would absolutely come back.

If you visit Quebec you have to try the Portuguese Chicken - this is as good as anywhere to give it a try!

This roast chicken restaurant was already on this street when I first came to Quebec City, about a decade or so ago. Now it's moved closer to the Old Town. Today is my first time back in Quebec City in six years, and I've come back to this restaurant again. The roast chicken is as delicious as ever—incredibly fresh, crispy skin, slightly savory, accompanied with juicy and tender meat. The sausages are handmade by the owner, completely different from the industrial taste of chain restaurants; the saltiness is just right, and they're very tasty. The roast pork chops and shrimp are also roasted to perfection. The fried potatoes are made with a unique sweetness thanks to the owner's locally sourced potatoes from Orléans. Making them himself is a significant improvement over frozen potatoes, as well. This meal reminds me of my time in Quebec City; it tastes like home.

We had a great time at Pico Loco. The food was delicious (we had the chilli con carne and chicken soup apps and chicken breast dinner) fast and friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. The price was very reasonable too.
The piri piri sauce is amazing!

Ribs and chicken were to die for! Very delicious! Highly recommended. Don’t forget you can BYOB!
The food was delicious and fresh. Perfect for someone who was trying to avoid poutine and tartare which seem to be the staples everywhere else.

The food was super tasty! I especially loved the fries and chicken breast—honestly some of the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was really chill, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. My family and I were really satisfied. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Great service, courteous, friendly staff, chef delivers himself the ordered plates, as is a pedestrian street, it has wide open windows so during summer feels like you are in a terrace, food was delicious, menu was not wide in options and the chorizo soup was not available, however the ordered food was delicious and prices affordable, menu has interesting plates not only Portuguese, grillades are made on charcoal, I recommend the place!
