Nothing vegan - Edit
I came for dinner and there was nothing vegan on the menu. I asked the waitress and she told me that only the French fries were vegan.

Convenient and delicious - Edit
Went to Pico twice. Got the soba noodle bowl and the veg panini (which my friend ordered twice). The soba noodle bowl is great for a light lunch but I have to say the panini was a winner for me. Very convenient location near a popular beach and surf shops. Nice that vegan options are labelled.

Solid vegan and vegetarian options - Edit
Tasty vegan bowl with quinoa, spinach salad, beet hummus, and chickpeas. My husband had a vegetarian green pasta which was also tasty. Located on the beach with a lovely view.

Amazing…every time! - Edit
Healthy, fresh, beautifully presented food and drinks! This place nourishes the soul. Incredible chill vibes from the music. Sitting under their huge shade tree and top notch service has made Pico my go to restaurant! As a vegetarian it’s important for me to find healthy, good quality and intentional care with their food and I have not been disappointed after going 6 times with more to come!
Read morePros: Great vegetarian bowls. , Fresh, quality cold pressed juice. , Delicious coffee!
Cons: Seriously no cons…only great things!

Fresh and good - Edit
Nice healthy option. Got the soba noodle bowl and a passion fruit iced tea, which was the best tea I’ve ever had. If there were free refills they would have been in trouble. Good atmosphere and they accommodated a group of 5 at sunset

Good taste, reasonable price, great location. - Edit
Ate dinner here with a friend. He had the Sweet & Spciy bowl and I ate the Creamy Avocado bowl. Both tasted good. Smaller portions. It’s a great location & quite reasonably priced.

Nice place, I will go a second time - Edit
I had the Buddah Bowl Creamy Avo and the avo cream was especially nice. The rest was a bit... well, it was plain ingredients except the beet hummus which is great if you keep salt and spice intake low as some of us rather raw and mono-meal people try to. Makes it a bit limited in taste though. Ingredients seemed to be very fresh though!
Read moreService was great, very friendly staff! Easy going and excepts cards. Nice spot, sat right at the beach. Annoying that the people are allowed to come in and try to sell you things.
What was missing for me was some vegan dessert though! And I personally don't like that they don't add the service and sales fees into the prices so if you forget the bill can be a bit of a surprise.
Although not raw or gluten free I am looking forward to making an exempting and try the green pasta. Hope the cheese is really vegan as stated on the menu.
Update on that: no, although stated as vegan on the menu they have to make it vegan by leaving out the cheese. I wasn’t impressed because that is the most expensive ingredient. I didn’t go for it and went elsewhere.

Pros: Nice staff (speak English) and location, Some vegan AND gluten free options clearly marked
Cons: Got to add additional fees when judging prices, Not for every day when on a tight budget
