Pico Taqueria

Back on the island, back at Pico's. As you can tell from our frequent posts, we love this island and love Pico's. Don't forget to check out the outdoor Sand Bar for some great mixed drinks.

Stopped here after visiting the wildlife refuge based on a recommendation we got from wildlife staff. This is a super cute little roadside outdoor restaurant that made you feel like you were at the beach despite being in the middle of town. It was sunny and buggy when we went, so we opted to sit inside the little screened in porch section they have. In the back there's an outdoor bar with good drinks and a sandy beach to boot! I am usually more of a fan of traditional, "plain" street tacos but they had some very clever taco concoctions. I got the Chicken City taco and it was very good. I'm not wild about cabbage or anything pickled, so this was a great choice. I wish the tortilla was cooked a bit more, but it held together just fine. The plain old frozen margarita was also a delight. Thankfully it wasn't crazy busy when we went, but worth checking out if you're in the area.

Roadside taco joint at its best. Low key, no fuss, no muss but really good tacos, guacamole and chips!

Everything we had here was delicious, it's not surprise this is an island favorite. I still think about the watermelon lemonade. Chips and guac - amaze. Their specialty tacos - delicious.

The food was so nice! Had to go twice. Ordered a repeat of the Maddox Bowl--most amazing oyster bowl! This time it came with thai basal (not sauce) and shredded Jicama and carrots. Delicious is an understatement with the addition of the tarter sauce which tastes different than typical tarter sauce! It's special. Also ordered the empanadas for lunch tomorrow. Three of them with avocado sauce. Look forward to trying them. Jim at the window is warm and accommodating. Thank you!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was delightful. My six year old loved the frisbee that her kids meal was served on. Whatever you do don't feed the seagulls but that's a known fact all along the coast.

It's one of the most popular eateries on Chincoteague Island. Every time we passed by, there was a long waiting line. The service was warm, patient, and outstanding. The nice lady who took our order explained to us what to try. We took her advice and they turned out to be very good. There were outdoor seatings and tables with screen doors. The atmosphere was casual. The prices were a bit high for tacos, but well worth it because they were some of the best tacos I've ever had!We ordered: 4*GUACAMOLE: Served with chips: fresh and good. 5*Chincoteague Classic: there were choices of Chicken, Pork, Beef, or Fried Fish with lettuce, pico de gallo, creme fraiche & Cotija cheese. We ordered smoked pork taco: excellent! Very tasty. 4*Main Street-Seared & seasoned shrimp, green cabbage slaw, guacamole, chipotle creme fraiche & queso fresco: nothing exotic but good.5*The Deephole-Roasted cauliflower, caper pico de gallo,Parmesan cheese, garlic aioli & crispy shallots: creative and delicious! 4*The Maddox-Cornmeal fried oysters, pickled carrots, daikon radish, house tartar sauce, Thai basil: tasty and original.

Food was amazing!!! I had the chicken chincoteague and it was soo good! Cant wait to have it again when they come back next season. Service was quick and ambiance was nice.

Hands down, best street-style tacos I have ever eaten! Judging by the line (that never seemed to get shorter), there are plenty of people that would agree!If I lived on the island, I'd be here weekly, if not more often. I especially love the "beachy" vibe, even away from the beach. I'll give a little tip for regulars - go order drinks and food at the bar and avoid the line at the main window. You'll get a pager to come get your food. Hubs & I had a couple of beers. He tried 2 tacos and the street corn while I had a bowl. Everything was SO unique & flavorful. I practically licked my bowl clean. We sat at the bar while we sipped and dined and the bartender was super friendly and attentive. There is no reason to miss this place. Go, now!

Delicious! Very tasty food, and very friendly service! Only suggestion I'd have would be to allow half orders of the bowls - we had two tweens with us who didn't want the kids meal but the normal bowl was much too big.
