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.

Quand nous sommes rentrés & avons entendu un monsieur joué du piano, plus en style synthé on s'est demandé où nous étions tombés! Le cadre est très froid, mais le service était impeccable & le jeune homme qui nous a servi était juste parfait! Les portions de poulet sont très grandes & le poulet était délicieux! Finalement ça ne payait pas de mine mais nous avons passé un bon moment, nous avons bien mangé, pas payé trop cher & nous avons même dansé sur nos chaises au rythme de la musique!

It wasn't really authentic Portuguese chicken. Wasn't what I was expecting. The sauce comes on the chicken . You don't get extra sauce for dunking. I personally like it spicy & unfortunately it wasn't.

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.

I just think this place is overpriced, half a chicken meal will cost you 26 before tax & tips. & the famous Portugese roast chicken is a bit plain & average. The rice is actually better than the chicken.
