The staff stayed kind, calm, and organized despite how busy it was. You could tell they were doing their best to keep things moving and make sure people were taken care of. The manager (I think) was especially attentive. She was checking in on everyone and even offering complimentary beverages for the long wait, which was a really nice touch.

Picante overall is a solid spot!…read more Customer service here is top tier. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming, and I love how the place is decorated. It has a great vibe that makes you want to hang out and enjoy your food. The quesabirria is really good, and honestly I come back just for their birria at times. It's flavorful and hits the spot every time. I also tried their super burrito and that was super good too, definitely recommend! I did try the street taco and the crunchy steak taco, and those weren't really my favorite. Overall, this is my go-to place when I want to switch things up and don't really know what I'm craving. Definitely worth checking out!

I work nearby this restaurant and often pick up a bowl for lunch. Last week I ordered a chicken…read morebowl, and when I got back to my office I realized it was pork instead of chicken. I called them and they asked me to come back for a replacement. It took about five minutes, and they were very kind about it. I don't like wasting food, so they told me I could keep the original bowl. I brought it home and my daughter was very happy to eat it. Both meals ended up being great. They also gave me an agua fresca to make up for the short wait, which I really appreciated. Mistakes can happen anywhere, and what matters is how they're handled here...they take care of you. Many thanks for the quick repair.

I went for the regular torta, while my sister went for the 3 Flautas dinner. Additionally, we got some tacos, which is a must try at any Mexican spot Torta Regular: It's yummy. The reason I gave a 4 star is because of the presentation: the bread. The portion was awesome: it's a large torta. The bread was crumbly though, so the torta broke down a bit as I ate it. I went with Asada meat, which was cooked perfectly. Accompanied by tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and jalapeños, it was overall good. 3 Flautas Plate Dinner: Though it was my sister's plate, she shared some bites with me. That's a 5/5 for sure. Rice and beans are awesome, and the Flautas, smothered with cream and lettuce. The sides delivered very well on the $9 plate. Tacos: Meh. Too much sauce on the tacos, and a bit overpowering for each taco Expect me to come back, and I will prefer a plate, so I enjoy those sides of rice and beans It's a recommendation to try during this current Quarantine.

Did I just order the wrong burrito and is the horchata just always diluted?…read more I'm hoping I experienced a one off experience because I love authentic and delicious burritos but this didn't hit a 10 out of 10 for me. I will go back and try again because the reviews say otherwise but it was just sad. Ordered a super burrito with barbacoa and it was like a soup or slop consistency. It was just straight juice and liquid and just too wet. Because of that it had one flavor throughout the burrito. Not terrible but just not what is to be expected. Horchata was flavorful but it was diluted. So sad because it did taste good. The best part was the customer service. There was a young guy out front and he was so friendly telling me about a car meet and inviting me to it. Inside was the same. Super friendly and helpful. I will go back to try again since I pass it after fishing so hopefully it was a one off time and I can update my review with more stars!

The ambiance is cute with a small closed off glass area of wine and two seater table inside! Our waitress Dominique was amazing. She was able to give great recommendations for wines and food. She also made us feel taken cared of and was friendly/warm. The food is a mix of mexican/euro/american so there were a lot of different options. Here are the things we got: Appetizers - Parm crusted cauliflower: so good, nice and crunchy but not too heavily breaded. The chipotle mayo was delish - Chicharrones: so light and crispy! They were hot out of the fryer. It had a side of a corn cheese dip that was so good and made it more unique of a dish -- must try if you even kind of eat chicharrones. I don't generally like pork skin but I enjoyed it regardless. - Hamachi ceviche: this is a large sharing portion with chunks of hamachi and avocado. Good but not a must have. Entrees - Enchiladas: very cheesy and overall a good dish but I would skip this. - Shrimp tostadas: large size shrimp and it just comes with two tostadas so I don't think it was worth the price - Barramundi fillet: The fish was tender and juicy. I liked the marinades that came with it. I liked this dish with the rice because it made me feel homey. Good portion of fish. - Agua Chile Ribeye: This is a must have! The ribeye is sous vide so it was soo tender and juicy. The broth was really nice to keep everything moist and flavorful. Because we were celebrating a birthday, Dominique made a dessert with a nice special touch. Will definitely be back again!
