Pico Bistro - Winter Garden

Delicious made to order empanadas and I LOVE the Guava Jalapeno pico sauce!

Located in the strip mall minutes from downtown Winter Garden, this cute little café provides a quiet sanctuary on a busy Saturday afternoon. When we arrived, we were the only ones in the restaurant at roughly 1 PM in the afternoon, but we appreciated the quietness of the location. We were seated promptly and offered beverage service right away. While we tried to order two different beers, both of them were not working. The server was very sweet and I ended up going with a glass of their white sangria. I found the sangria to be good.We opted to start with the Burrata. It was delicious! The crisps that are served with it are light and fluffy, and the tomatoes with the olive oil and mint were amazing. We both devoured it. My husband opted for the beef and cheese, empanada, and the chicken cheese and bacon empanada. While the exterior itself was crispy, the downside was, it wasn't as full as we would've liked. The beef definitely had more filling than the chicken. I opted for the beef and blue cheese and the mac cheese and bacon stuffed empanadas. I wasn't overly impressed with the mac cheese as again very little filling and very little cheese within the actual mac cheese. The beef and blue cheese, though it was very good. One thing we both liked was their house made salsa. It is on the sweeter side but has some nice heat on the backside of it but not overpowering.Overall, the location was beautiful to visit and will certainly be back as it's a great place to grab a quick snack in the middle of the day. The average price of the empanadas were four dollars to six dollars depending upon what you ordered. They have a very small Menu for main entrées and the gnocchi does sound delicious which will probably take us back there to try it.

AMAZING! My husband is Brazilian and I am American and we both could not be more impressed with Pico Bistro. It's a perfect blend of the two cultures. The picanha was cooked perfectly and the Nutella and strawberry empanada is the best way to end a meal. We will be back!

Cute little place. Their empanada are so delish!!! And their guava/Jalapeno sauce is to die for. I have to say though, I can't lie, but I had 2 hairs in one of my empanadas the lady time I was there...... why? Why me?

The food here was soooo good. We are visiting from NJ and just stumbled upon this place. SO glad we did. We had the toughest day traveling and coming here made everything better. The fish of the day was grouper and I enjoyed it so much. Also Natalia was our waitress and she was the sweetest !! Made us feel super welcome. Thank you !
