This is one of our new favourite restaurants! The food is incredible, reminds us of being in Barcelona. The wine and drinks menu is great. They've really done everything right here to give a proper authentic Spanish feel. We will 100% be back soon!
I booked out Picaro for my 21st birthday. It was the best evening I could’ve asked for with the staff being so accommodating and amazing service for the 30 guests. The food just kept coming and everything tasted amazing. Thank you so much Monica, I hope to return soon.
This restaurant is a great find on Chandos Road. It has a cosy, intimate feeling and everything from the food, to the staff, to the wine is amazing. I would highly recommend eating here and will definitely be back - thanks so much for a lovely evening!
Note: the 1 star review regarding the weekend booking is not an accurate representation of the lovely restaurant or the lovely staff. Of course, the restaurant is busy on a weekend. And, of course, you will have to turn up on time in order for the front of house and the kitchen staff to give you the best experience. It’s only fair on them. Credit to the restaurant for being so popular!

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at a tapas restaurant for a friend's birthday celebration, and I must say, it was far from the enjoyable evening we had anticipated. While the food itself was decent, the behavior of the restaurant staff left much to be desired.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were promptly seated at our table, which we had booked for a two-hour time slot. Little did we know that this seemingly innocent reservation would become the source of constant stress and discomfort throughout the entire evening. From the moment we sat down, the staff made it their mission to remind us, at almost every possible opportunity, about the limited time we had left.
It felt as though we were being rushed through our dining experience, leaving us no time to savor the flavors or engage in meaningful conversation. The constant pressure to order our food quickly made us feel nervous and on edge, completely ruining the celebratory mood we had hoped for.
It is understandable that time restrictions may be necessary in a busy restaurant, and 2 of our friends joined us late at the table, but the manner in which it was handled was completely unacceptable. The staff's incessant reminders about our remaining time left us feeling unwelcome and undervalued as customers.
In conclusion, I would strongly advise against dining at this tapas restaurant if you are seeking a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The unnecessary constant reminders about our limited time left us feeling anything but satisfied. The service charge was not added to our bill as a compensation.
It is a shame that what should have been a memorable birthday celebration with friends turned into an evening of discomfort and disappointment. We will never be back!

Amazing, authentic Spanish food. Resonable prices for tapas and very friendly serivce. The atmosphere both inside and at the garden round the back was lovely, would highly recommend. We managed to get a walk in reservation on a Friday too! Great spot for dinner with a date, friends or family.
Always start with the positives: excellent food, it really is delicious and the Estrella was very cheap and delicious. The place is nicely furnished and there is a really good vibe. The Spanish lady that owns the cafe is absolutely delightful and works tirelessly to make this place a success. However, through no ones fault, the service was poor and half our order didnt arrive until after we had eaten our other dishes. We werent offered deserts as it really was too late by then and I did feel the dishes were very expensive. I can see why people like this place but I did come away disappointed. Will try again next year
We went to Picaro just before their 1yr Anniversary!! It was a ladies night out and we had a fabulous time!!
We were made to feel so welcome from the time of arrival and the hosts were super friendly.
The food was excellent, authentic, flavourful, balanced, rich, delicious, I could go on!!
The Sangria and Wine were stunning.
And we just had a wonderful time!!
We will be returning as a group, with our partners, friends and family and recommending to others. 💕
