About

Grillades Pico Loco centers its culinary identity on the robust preparation of authentic Portuguese charcoal-grilled meats. Succulent whole chickens are marinated in traditional piri-piri spice blends, yielding a smoky exterior and tender, flavorful flesh that defines the core menu. Accompaniments like hand-cut fries and fresh vegetable salads provide classic balance to the rich, charred profiles of the protein offerings. The atmosphere emphasizes a functional, high-output approach to Mediterranean grilling that prioritizes speed and intense flavor extraction. Diners experience the unmistakable aroma of open-flame cooking as intense heat transforms simple ingredients into savory staples. This establishment maintains a commitment to the foundational techniques of Iberian cookery, ensuring every plate reflects a consistent dedication to the craft of the grill through meticulous flame management and quality ingredient selection.

came here for a late lunch/early dinner & although the restaurant was empty (which we thought may have been a bad sign) all the food was absolutely delicious. the chicken was freshly cooked, juicy, & flavourful. 1000x better than nandos. many thanks to the kind bulgarian server whom we had a great conversation with. would highly recommend this spot.

I needed a place to eat before going to a concert, & this place was looking promising. It's a very good place for a hungry tourist. Spacious, clean, smiling polite server. I tried their chicken & it was very good, but the best was their "Pasteis de Nata"- Eternal Portuguese classic. I highly recommend this place.

La cuisine est un 10/10 le poulet était tendre & la sauce était délicieuse. Cela fait déjà plusieurs fois que nous y allons avec ma famille & nous n’avons jamais été déçu. De plus les frites qui accompagne le poulet sont fraîche & fait maison (probablement les meilleurs frites que j’ai mangé depuis un long moment). Le service client est également super & le jeune homme qui nous a accueilli était très aimable. Le concept apportez votre vin est super pour une soirée entre amis ou en famille sans dépenser beaucoup. Pour finir l’ambiance est chaleureuse & rappelle le Portugal sans en faire trop. Pour la salubrité je n’ai rien à dire. Les tables sont propres & le reste de la salle aussi. Je recommanderai ce lieux sans hésiter & j’y retournerai ça c’est sûr !!!

Food was overall very good but white meat of chicken a bit try. I can't give this place more than 2 stars tho due to the service. I'm an American that travels abroad regularly. I ordered rice & they gave me fries. When I politely asked for what I ordered, I was mocked & told "everyone makes mistakes" implying that I couldn't remember my own order. I was with my wife & 2 year old & 4 year old (I wasn't some drunk off the street). It wasn't until I threatened to leave a bad review that the owner begrudgingly gave us what we ordered. As I was leaving, I tried to tell the owners the food was excellent & they ignored me. They rationed out tiny ketchups to us & 1 napkin at a time. They then proceeded to mock my family to other diners before we exited (again a 2 year old & 4 year old). I guess if you're a local then maybe a different experience, but I wouldn't come back here & wouldn't recommend other Americans to either...
