    Picante sits on a busy street in Annapolis. Plenty of paid, street parking. I came on a Monday afternoon. We were literally the only ones in the restaurant. We were greeted, and quickly seated at an open booth. For drinks we ordered water and a single mojito. The water came out fairly quickly, but the mojito was taking quite a long time. After about 15 minutes, an appetizer that we didn't order came to our table. It turns out, our waitress misheard "mojito", and thought we said "Molotes"... which we later learned was corn masa stuffed with chorizo and potato. It looked delicious, but we did not order it. After the correction and another 5 minutes for the mojito, we were finally able to place our dinner order. We got a taco combo meal, with 2 fajita chicken tacos and 1 fish. And we also got the birria quesadilla. I highly recommend!! The food was great. The restaurant was clean, and so was the bathroom. I would definitely return for the quesadilla. Service could probably use a little improvement, but overall they are friendly!

    Really good place with great food. Excellent service and the staff were attentive. Atmosphere is nice and it was not crowded, even for a Saturday afternoon. We started with the Queso Fundido. Beers are served in big mugs. Lots of food options for anyone in the family. It's right on West Street so traffic was loud. It's a good option in Annapolis.

    First of all, did anyone else know crickets and guacamole goes together!!!? *see pictures* Good drinks, good food, and a great happy hour. After work, date night before a walk downtown to the pier, girls night out margaritas and a meal, you name it. I can honestly say I'm JUST getting to this Picante review, but I am a returning 5+ time customer.

    Placed the order at work, walked there and arrived the food was done and fresh! Good service as i was getting takeout. 1st time and will be back. Nice portions and great price. Can't wait to try more or sit down and eat, quesadillas were yummy. Not a big fan of the sauce on top. But it wasn't terrible. Will be back!

    Birria tacos, consomé, rice and beans, chips, salsa, beer. Yum!

    Surprisingly good! Service was prompt and friendly. Complimentary chips and salsa. The beer was cold. The food came out quickly. The birria tacos were excellent, very tasty, as was the side of rice and beans. Somewhat expensive for Mexican food, but this is a tourist area.

    Enchiladas Suiza...Rajas absolutely delicious. Rice and Black Beans on point.

    Food was on point. Coming from L.A. Let's Go Dodgers, this place is highly recommended to anyone visiting the beautiful Annapolis.

    We went in for lunch. It wasn't crowded but it was busy. It looked clean and bright. The host and waiter immediately greeted us, sat us and came back after a few to take our order. We had the tacos and I also had the black bean soup. Perfect temperature and seasoning. We came back the next day.

    Food, drinks and service are always superb. They make the best margaritas. I've never had a dish I didn't like.

    This was a good casual Mexican joint. Everybody was pleased with their food and the service was very friendly. My only complaint was it was a bit expensive for what you get.

    This place was great, very cute Mexican atmosphere. The food was delicious, do take in count that it is as the name says, very picante (spicy). In the photo there is also their pork pozole, vey delicious but a little too spicy for our taste. The service was very nice, the waiter was very attentive and helpful.
