Welcome to Pikoteo

the result of a shared family dream. Founded by Karla Espinoza and Manuel Iguina, Pikoteo is more than just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of Latin and Caribbean culture and flavors. For Karla and her husband, food is more than nourishment; it’s a way to stay connected to their roots, share their history, and bring people together.

Opened in March 2023, Pikoteo is nestled in a neighborhood where independent Latin restaurants are a rare find. Here, we focus on authenticity, creating dishes inspired by our Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage while blending flavors that represent a broader Caribbean influence. From comforting classics like arroz con pollo and ropa vieja to seasonal ceviches, every dish tells a story and invites you to feel at home.


Our space is designed to feel like you’re stepping into a warm, welcoming home. With cozy indoor seating and additional patio space, Pikoteo is the perfect spot to gather with loved ones or enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. Whether you’re savoring a meal in our dining room or exploring the offerings at our ceviche bar, we strive to make every visit special.

In addition to our dine-in experience, we also offer catering services for large gatherings. With our wood-fired grill, we prepare grand dishes like whole roast pig and other large-format meals that are perfect for celebrations.  We’re passionate about sharing the vibrant flavors of our culture with every guest, whether in our restaurant or at your next event.
