Had a first class meal with friends and family at my favorite Housotn restaurant. Very sad Picos is closing. So many wonderful memories, meals and friendships made over the past 12 years on Kirby. Looking forward to the next version of Picos and another Perfect!
Had to have one last visit to Pico's for their fabulous soft shell crabs. Ruben was a great server. Definitely going to miss Pico's I hope they find a new location soon.
Food was excellent, and service was good. The OpenTable reservation process was difficult to use. The fajitas were good as always, and so were the shaker margaritas.

Picos Restaurant is a Tex-Mex restaurant in Houston. The exterior is inviting, and the interior is well-decorated with a few dashes of Latin American flair. The menu offers a variety of Tex-Mex staples and signature dishes, with an extensive margarita list. Picos boasts “the birthplace of the shaker margarita.” They offer complimentary chips and salsa, including a red salsa with an almost marinara flavor and a delicious green sauce. Customers can order online and buy margarita mix from their online store.
Some experiences have been lively, with delicious food, impeccable service, and lovely ambiance. However, other visits have been disappointing. One large party of 50 experienced under-staffing and slow service. Another guest noted a decline in quality, finding the horchata less sweet and the seasonal soft shell crabs reheated. The Menudo was described as one of the worst, with too much chili powder. The Pibil pork was bland and overcooked, with too much vinegar. The ambiance, while classy, is considered a bit outdated and tired by some. The food is seen as mediocre and not worth the prices paid. Despite great memories of dishes like banana leaf tamales and mole, recent experiences have led to mixed reviews.
