Due to a few appointments in the area, I have recently eaten out with my daughter in Altrincham on several occasions. Last week, we went to the food hall at Altrincham Market. There was a good selection of vendors, each selling something unique. However, we opted to dine at Pico’s Tacos as we love Mexican food.

What We at Pico’s Tacos at Altrincham Market

My daughter ordered the shredded chicken quesadilla, served with salsa verde. I also ordered a tray of dips to share, including a salsa roja, guacamole, and sour cream. My daughter said the chicken quesadilla was really tasty and well-cooked.

For myself, I ordered the mutton barbacoa tacos. It consisted of two homemade tacos topped with tender mutton, the cooking gravy, a slice of avocado, chopped onions, and fresh coriander. I regularly eat out (perks of being a food writer); honestly, it is the best thing I have eaten in the last two years. Even though I was full, I returned to the stall to order a second batch of tacos.
