Born From a Love of Real Food

El Picosito started with one belief: that the best Mexican food doesn't need a fancy menu to be unforgettable. It needs fresh ingredients, patient hands, and recipes that have been tested by time.

Located on Basse Road in San Antonio, we've been serving our neighborhood with the same energy since day one. Every salsa is hand-ground. Every tortilla is made fresh. Every guest is treated like family.

"Best tacos in San Antonio, hands down. The al pastor is incredible and the salsa bar has the perfect amount of heat. My family comes here every weekend."
