Reviews Summary
Pícaro Tapas y Copas offers a unique, retro atmosphere with generally good food, particularly noted for its burgers and the pleasant surprise of complimentary tapas. However, dining experiences can be inconsistent, with some visitors reporting slow and dismissive service, and concerns about being overcharged.
"The restaurant is located in a hidden corner of Plaza Mayor. It looks really nice inside and also has a good outdoor seating area. Food is alright, not wow."

"I was overcharged by a comical amount earlier today.
I honestly do not understand why certain restaurants in Spain overcharge tourists. The prices are on the menu both inside and outside the restaurant. When we compare the prices on the menu to the price on the receipt, we are obviously going to see the discrepancies and raise a stink. Why do it?
I came here with my two sons while visiting the historical center of Cuenca. We ordered 3 hamburgers, which were listed as 17.50 euros each. The burgers were excellent. We modified one of the burgers for my younger son because he only wanted cheese as a topping, and the kitchen even got that right. We were extremely satisfied customers, which is why I do not understand why the restaurant would do something as stupid as overcharge us by 1 measly euro per burger.
I also do not understand the culture of asking the customer, “Is the bill okay?” in order to pretend all is well. Why would I raise an overcharging issue in front of my kids and fight with restaurant staff over 3 euros? As far as any potential language difficulties go, as you can see on the menu, there is not a single burger that costs 18.5 euros.
Avoid this place and give your business to the other establishments in the area."

"A great little bar. Food was good and service fine. We particularly liked the half a scooter coming out of the wall above our table! Nice little find."

A Quick Cuenca Day Trip from Madrid
Please indulge my rant… We ordered at Restaurante Pícaro Tapas y Copas from a pre-set lunch menu where we could choose our app, main & dessert. Honestly, it’s the worst food I’ve ever had. The restaurant seemed fine with cool seating arrangements and AC on the hot day we visited.

We were today 10/12 in this establishment with a Celiac child, and it was spectacular, good treatment, service, excellent food... everything was great. The owner was very kind and concerned about the child's food and that there was no contamination.
