Picosa, which means “spicy one” in Spanish, offers signature Latino dishes from Mexico, Central and South America. Menu items are based on the region that made them popular with Chef Lindell Mendoza adding special spices and ingredients to ensure guests experience a dining sensation that is truly new to the Minneapolis palate. Picosa’s extensive menu includes small plates so diners can sample numerous items, large plates for lunch and dinner, and an eclectic wine menu that features South America, New Zealand and California.

Outdoor seating on the patio offers guests a place to enjoy exotic cocktails and views of the river and downtown Minneapolis. Picosa also caters to a late night crowd with a centrally located dance floor hosted by professional DJ’s and VIP seating that creates a clubbing atmosphere.
