Traditional Chile Con Queso for 4-6
(Customer Reviews)Picos’ chile con queso has been bringing in families for more than 36 years! This creamy medium-sharp cheddar and chile-filled blend is great with chips, on top of a rolled enchilada or taco, or as a dipping sauce for tamales!
Chef Arnaldo Richards was raised in Monterey, Mexico, where he began his career cooking at his family’s restaurants. A third-generation chef, he started learning his grandmother’s recipes at age 13, and many of those authentic Mexican dishes and sauces are still on the menu at his legendary restaurant, Picos, which opened in 1984 and remains one of Houston’s most renowned Mexican restaurants.

PICOS; tamales are far superior to any I have purchased online. The filing and the corn wrapping have so much more flavor than those I have gotten from other sources!

Everything went great from start to finish. I love Pico’s queso dips. Both kinds. Their tortillas are great too. I wish they would let you order more tortillas though. They are the best I’ve had. The habanero dip is really good. Spicy but not too hot.
