Casa De Pico - Mexican restaurant in La Mesa - 5500 Grossmont Center Dr, USA

Wow what a fun place to have authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff dressed in Mexican style dresses and very friendly. The food is wonderful and the strawberry margaritas are the bomb. If the weather is nice sit on the patio.

Phenomenal Mexican fair. Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. The place is decked for the holidays, everyone is really friendly and the portions are huge. You definitely get your bang for your buck. Our server, Luz Elena, was excellent! I’ll be sure to return!

Very nice atmosphere. A wandering Mariachi band that you can tip to play something for your birthday. It was my fault for ordering something new. Next time, I will stick with something I am familiar with.

Sara is an awesome server and one of the most patient and kind ladies I've ever met in a restaurant. Everyone here though is fantastic from the gentlemen who bring chips and salsa, the waitstaff who no matter who you get is courteous, kind, attentive and quick. The chefs are always making great food and the people who greet you are always smiling and calm no matter how busy they are. It's one of our favorite restaurants and the tortillas are amazing no matter what they are paired with. I can't recommend it enough if you have a craving for really great food and service at a reasonable price.

The chicken fajita came out sizzling was very flavorful. Quality meat, fresh guacamole and vegetables. I wasn't a fan of the tortillas, to thin. Chips and salsa was okay. Services was good even considering it was busy.

Everything was super! 4 of us came about 4 pm on a Saturday and were able to walk in and get seated immediately. The drinks were all very tasty, and the food was decently sized portions also great taste. The chips and salsa before service were hot and delicious. It's super colorful inside and out. And the staff is very attentive. It does get super busy around 5-6 when we were leaving. There was a line out the door. Plus, the parking isn't the greatest it's a tight squeeze for larger vehicles.

Very slow service. Decent food. Excellent location. Homemade chips but ate either cooked to long or the oil needs changing. $20 burrito and the beans and rice are on the inside, not as a side.

The food portions are big. Lots of variety on the menu, which includes a nice margarita selection. I had a combination plate which was mostly good, except the taco that was extremely hard and flavorless. We visited at 5pm, so it wasn’t too busy. We were never served any water or drinks until we requested a waiter to come to the table. When he arrived he seemed sort of annoyed that we asked for a waiter to be sent over.
