Two friends who were craving Mexican food (although they had eaten here before and were not impressed) called El Pico to reserve a table for 2 last Friday, 4/23/21. They spoke to a manager, who said they did not take reservations, told them that if they waited until after the lunch rush, they should have no problem walking in and getting a table.They got there after the lunch rush and there was only one table with people at it. Perfect, right? Well. actually no. They were told by the "manager" that there would be a 2 hour wait! They responded by saying they had called in and were told (probably by this douche) that they didn't take reservations. He then held up his bandaged hand and said he was working with an injury, What???Not that this should even have to be mentioned, but my friends are financially stable, kind and funny guys. And they are gay. See the problem here???Shame on this establishment for not rolling out the red carpet for these awesome guys that just wanted some mediocre Mexican food. Their money spends just like hetero money, dumb sh**. You need to wake the f*** up. Don't eat here and have a nice day!

Explored this Independence Square restaurant during a recent community event. Located directly on the square with access to public parking lots and street parking nearby.A locally owned business with lots of charm. A modest dining space is ideal for families, couples and small groups. Great selection of ala carte, appetizers, salads and main dishes. The menu on their website is out of date. Ordered the fish taco dish and a beergarita. This dish featured two healthy portions of white fish on soft flour tortillas. Topped with corn cabbage, salsa, avocado and Chipotle mayo.The tacos had great flavor but the tortillas were overfilled. I would have gladly paid for three or four flour tortillas with the same amount of taco filling.A small bar and point of sale station is nestled about halfway across the building space. Depending on the location of your seats, you might get to see food finessed on the kitchen line.Be sure to check their calendar for regular specials. As a local business, they are closed on Sundays. They also depend on local support to share and gain social media momentum. Being rewarded for that help is a good thing. A relaxed environment to grab a bite. Friendly staff and speedy food service. Looking forward to our next visit.

After wandering Independence Square, looking for a place to eat, I arrived alone on Saturday evening at 8:45. There was one couple seated and no staff in sight. After a couple minutes, a small sized young girl comes out carrying two plates, which I assume are for the seated couple. She yells at me across the room "What can I do for you?".Because I appreciate decent manners, I do not yell across the room at her. After she leaves the food for the seated couple, I ask her for a table for one. She says "We close at 9:00", with the very clear implication that I am an interruption, and not welcome. I say "All right. Never mind.", and I leave.If this is your restaurant's style of hospitality, I will not return.

I went in to El Pico today for the 1st time to try it out. I ordered to go. I chose to try the Steak Chimichanga, the chimi was delicious and who doesn't like quest on top of their chimi. The white rice was tasty as well as the chips and salsa were good as well. I will definitely be back and will recommend to others.

Do not come here if you are in a hurry. The staff is very friendly they just can't keep up with the customers. I had the avocado burrito which was very good.Their chips and salsa are pretty tasty too.

I went on a Thursday at 12, restaurant not busy. I waited at the front for a few min, ,waitress saw me but never acknowledged my presence. I sat in first booth and waited, again waitress saw but never acknowledged me. Finally I went to back to find someone to help me. I saw waitress and kindly asked to be helped. The waitress said you can sit there, motioning to the table in front of her, with metal chairs and within 5ft of service area. I politely said oh I am already seated up front. She responded "well we sit single people here and save the booths for parties". I smile and say "I prefer to sit in booth up front" she responded "fine". I return to my seat and after a few minutes another person comes up to my table to take my drink order and they said" I'm surprised she sat you here usually single people get sat in the back" I laughed slightly and said "oh she tried but I prefer to sit in a booth up front" still in disbelief and trying to make light of situation and enjoy my lunch. They respond "well Incase we get busy with it being Thursday" ok I look around and there are 10 booths with 2 taken and it is now 1230, which shouldn't matter. Original waitress came to take my order. She asked me what I wanted. I ordered a taco, rice and beans. Hard/soft, white/red, black or brown. Not even a full sentence, no extra words. Food, which turned out to be mediocre, was delivered. Not once did she come back to the table to check on me. I noted while I ate 2 parties came into restaurant and there was a glaring difference in how the only waitress treated them. So at the height of their rush 4/10 booths were utilized. I have reasons I have my preference and they do not matter, I as a single person who often dines alone deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. This treatment was sooo discriminatory. Will not return. PS I have trauma related to being at a shooting so prefer to sit in front so I can see the door,have back injuries so cant sit on hard chairs. IT Doesn't matter!!!!
