La Mesa’s ultimate Mexican dining experience has earned a devoted following for its mouthwatering food, colossal “birdbath” margaritas and a festive, fiesta-style atmosphere that is welcoming to all. Locally owned and operated at Grossmont Center after moving from San Diego’s historic Old Town State Park in 2005, Casa de Pico captures the vibrant spirit of Mexico in its décor and its dishes. Patrons can savor a prolific menu of authentic regional entrees, with an emphasis on flavor and freshness, while sitting in a lovely hacienda-style atmosphere accented with hand-crafted, wrought iron fixtures, beautiful landscaping and graceful archways. Lively mariachi music perform on certain nights.
The wide-ranging menu includes seasonal, vegetarian, healthy and gluten-free choices, as well as a menu just for kids. Delicious homemade dressings, salsas and sauces are made fresh daily, and Casa de Pico’s famous handmade tortillas are served hot off-the-grill all day long. Make your own fiesta during weeknight happy hour, or hold a special celebration in one of the two designated party rooms, the large dining room or the patios with the help of a banquet coordinator. Casa de Pico takes pride in serving award-winning food, earning honors such as “Best Mexican Cuisine” and “Best Margarita.”
