Picaro Tapas Restaurant

This place is definitely now my go-to for Spanish food. It is busily fun environment. We didn't ordered alcohol but we are enjoying the party/ alehouse vibe. The food here is great especially seafood. I was blown away by the seafood platter. I thought it is gonna small but it is HUGE with so much variety of fish, shrimps and squid. The spanish ham and paella are awesome too. The price is definitely reasonable compared with the big fresh seafood portion we got. Oh and the spanish version of creme brulee. What a way to finish the meal! We will definitely visit this restaurant again!

The food was pretty good and it’s a perfect place to bring a big group for a bday party. We went here for our friend’s bday and the food came out pretty fast and delicious. However this place is more casual so if you’re looking for something a little fancier, this might not be the place but the vibes were great and keep in mind it’s a bit loud but still enjoyed the restaurant.

We got the seafood paella (for 2, shared among 3 but it was more than enough), garlic shrimp, and calamari. All were delicious. But the best part was the oysters! If I remember correctly, they were around $2 (or less) per oyster and tasted better than the ones most oyster bars!! I would come back just for the oysters. Service-wise it was a bit strange. The waiters were nice, but we had at least 3-4 different waiters come check in on us during our time there. At one point, we were asked if we were doing okay every 2-5 minutes so we felt like we were being rushed out even though we just received some of our dishes.

Came on a Saturday night for dinner, made reservations the morning of. We split 5 tapas, a paella, and 2 pitchers of sangria (plus copious amounts of bread) between 5 people and we were full. Everything was pretty good, with the octopus and the bread + sauce it came with being the best things! The paella was a bit off texturally, and didn't have as much flavor as I'd like. The outdoor seating area out back is super nice, would come back for drinks and tapas again.
