“ This place gets the best review I can give. We searched for a good Mexican food place and this was the top of the list. It did not disappoint. I have three different tacos and they were by far. Without a doubt, the best tacos I have ever had. The flavor was amazing. The corn tortilla was freshly made and just perfect. I have not had a better taco. The chips and salsa is great too. The owner or chef came to our table and even asked how everything was. I highly recommend this place. Price was perfect especially in PCB where so many are just was too expensive. Amazing! ”
“ Coming from a Panama City local, Picos is one of (if not THE) best Mexican restaurants in the area. Everything tastes so authentic and portions are really good-sized! The atmosphere is also a 10/10. The DJ was also such a vibe ”
“ 10/1/24 We were visiting from out of town and found this little gem. The Google reviews were very good so we thought we would try it. We got various types of tacos, two kinds of beans and they were all excellent! Some of the best flavour and I think homemade shells. The tortillas were homemade and excellent! The salsa was thin and just ok. Highly recommend! ”
