Pico Taco (Jersey City)

Pico Taco is an absolute gem! The tacos are flavorful delicious ! made with fresh ingredients, and priced just right. You really can’t beat the quality for the price — everything I tried was delicious.

the girl at the front taking orders was super nice, welcoming, and made the experience even better. Friendly service like that goes a long way and made the visit feel extra special.

Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or looking for your new favorite taco spot, definitely worth it.

If you've got champagne taste but a beer budget, then this place is for you. Half bodega, half taco joint, this place screams Identity Crisis!, so you'll want to visit right away 06/25 lest they go out of business. No, there is no longer any half-price taco special on Tuesdays, but with prices like this, who cares? BYOB with a liquor store a few doors away, the place only has seating for 4 people maximum, so it mostly survives on take-out. The carne asada taco was delicious with large chunks of charred grilled steak, and the barbacoa was even meatier, shredded beef braised in a sauce with a hint of cinnamon. The sautéed mushroom with corn and poblano was similarly juicy and exquisite, and the fish (baja style breaded and fried swai with cabbage and Chipotle aioli and tartar sauce) also paired inventive ingredients. The orange hot sauce packed quite a punch though the green one was a bit more palatable. Tiny cups of Haagen Dazs completed our meal. Bravo! We'll be back.

Brand new eateries with a very small produce stand/store. Food was very fresh and light. Fish tacos were very light and flakey, so perfect. The 2 sauces are great and not overly spicy. Just simple and clean food.

I went to Pico Taco’s new location at 418 Baldwin Ave in The Heights today. I’m happy to have them in my neighborhood. The new location was clean and looked newly renovated. The person who took my order said they just opened at this location last week. We ordered two shrimp tacos, a mushroom taco (Thanks for having a vegetarian option!), and a fish burrito. I was very satisfied with all the food! Everything was fresh and flavorful. I moved here from San Diego a year ago and have been missing good Mexican food. If they maintain this quality and maybe add some soyrizo as another vegetarian option, I believe I will have found my favorite Mexican food spot.
