★★★★★ "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Experience at Picaro Tapas!

Excellent selection of tapas and loved the happy hour pitcher of red sangria. The patatas bravas (spicy potatoes) came with extra pitcher of sauce — most appreciated. You could dunk every piece!

Authentic Spanish tapas in a warm, unpretentious setting with crowds that are fun and relaxed. We loved the Pulpo Al Ajillo (garlic octopus, $13) – tender and flavorful over crispy potatoes. The Rabo de Toro (oxtail stew, $13.43) was rich and delicious. Grilled..." — **cantik** (5 months ago) - ★★★★★ "A very approachable, unpretentious Spanish cantina serving heaping portions for what would normally be small tapas plates. Highlights include: * Alcachofas à la Plancha (Fresh Grilled Artichokes), a novel find with a slightly nutty taste, and a bit of crunch and tender heart texture. * Pulpo al Aj..." — **Christopher Chung** (a month ago) - ★★★★★ "Excellent selection of tapas and loved the happy hour pitcher of red sangria.
