About Picoso Taqueria

Picoso Taqueria is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Berkeley (94709), CA, independently run.

There is no star rating on file for Picoso Taqueria yet, so it is ranked here on how taco-focused it is (a taqueria scores above a general restaurant) and how complete its public listing is, not on reviews.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on Shattuck Ave in Berkeley. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.

In our Berkeley taco guide, Picoso Taqueria is ranked #9 of 22, by taco specialisation and listing completeness. How we rank.

What to expect on the menu

We do not have Picoso Taqueria’s exact menu on file, so this is what a taqueria of this kind typically serves, not a guarantee of today’s board:

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.

Opening hours

We do not have Picoso Taqueria’s own hours on file. The quickest way to check is to call +1-510-540-4811.

For a rough idea of when to turn up, here is the median opening and closing time across the 152 taquerias in California in our data that do publish hours. This describes that group, not this venue, and should never be treated as Picoso Taqueria’s schedule.
