About Us
Casa De Pico internationally renowned Mexican Restaurant was originally opened by Diane Powers in 1971 in Old Town, San Diego. When our lease expired in 2005, we relocated to Grossmont Center, where we brought with us the spirit of our original location, with it’s Hacienda like archways, hand crafted wrought iron fixtures and beautiful landscaping reminiscent of Mexico. Casa De Pico’s award winning “Best Mexican” cuisine, festive atmosphere, strolling Mariachi’s and world famous Birdbath Margaritas make it the perfect place to come for that romantic evening get away or festive gathering with family and friends.
Your fiesta begins when you walk through the door. Whether dining in our gorgeous dining room with it’s vivid colors, hand painted artwork, classic and authentic folk art, and wrought iron chandeliers or on our heated patio with it’s giant, splashing fountain, tropical plants and colorful flowers, Casa De Pico, brings you, in every way, the very best in Mexican culture. Our regional and traditional food, along with our frosty margaritas and strolling Mariachis, depict the true spirit of Mexico. Our handmade tortillas are a special treat when you taste them warm off the griddle from our display kitchen in the lobby, where our friendly staff is waiting to serve you.
Our Casa De Pico staff strives to provide all of our guests the most extraordinary experience possible, and are very grateful for our loyal following, who have helped us earn awards for Best Mexican Restaurant, Best Patio Dining, Best Margarita, Best Guacamole, Top 50 Best Mexican Restaurants and Hot 150 Restaurants.
