Came in during the Cinco de Mayo dinner rush on May 5th, so it was definitely packed. We were quoted a 30-40 minute wait, but it ended up being closer to 45 minutes to an hour. 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. read more

Picante - Super Nachos (no jalapeños) - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

Picante overall is a solid spot! 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! read more

This is definitely the new place for us... my husband and I went in on an early Saturday evening just the two of us... found on yelp and had never eaten here. I felt like I was a guest eating in someone's house. The owner was so kind to us, took time to check in on us, give me different salsas to taste in my tacos... the horchata was perfect... we loved everything about this experience! They earned our loyal patron-ship! Thank you! read more

Super delicious and we've loved every dish! Our family has ordered from here several times now and we're big fans. Some of the entrees we have tried have included the torta, super nachos, enchiladas, quesadilla, street tacos and some of the proteins have been pastor, Pollo Desebrado, Chile Verde, carnitas, lengua, and so far all have been flavorful, juicy, and fresh. Our food has been prepared in a timely manner and service has been good quality whenev we have done pickups. Parking was not a problem at all and the decor is fairly standard, but good and gives off a nice taqueria vibe. But the main takeaway is how tasty the food is. It isn't bland or boiled -- hits just the right spice notes. We highly recommend! read more

Picante - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

My husband and I came across this place via Yelp. Il had pretty hood reviews and we were craving Mexican food. The place is located in a strip mall and a little bit hidden but it is still a good find. The inside is cutely decorated with Mexican theme. We met the owner, Aracely, very nice lady. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and tended to us now and then which we loved! I ordered a sopes plate and my husband ordered a chile relleno plate, both very good! After our meal, the owner talked with us a little and gave us free flan dessert to go. We will definitely come back to this place! read more

Picante is AMAZING. From the food to the staff, this place is exceptional in every way. We literally come here once a week--it's become our go‑to spot because it never disappoints. My husband is obsessed with the shredded chicken enchiladas with green sauce (seriously, he can't get enough), and I'm always trying something new. No matter what we order, we've never had a bad meal or experience. A special shout‑out to Araceli -- she is hands‑down our favorite person there. Warm, attentive, and always makes us feel welcome. She deserves her own set of 5 stars! If you're debating whether to go... stop thinking and GO. You won't be let down. Bonus: They have an app! You can collect points and earn free meals -- love that. read more

Picante is amazing! First and foremost, their owner is so nice and generous. I have ordered food here multiple times and probably about 50% of the time I get food, I am also given a free dessert of some sort; the last 2 free deserts were a Tres Leches cake and a cup of Arroz Con Leche. She (I'm assuming the owner) does not have to do any of that, their food is already good enough for me to keep coming back, but she does it anyways! I love it! Secondly, they are quick. Every time I order food, it is never just 1 dish, its multiple dishes because it's for my whole family. The food is usually always ready in about 15-20 minutes, sometimes a bit longer when they are having a busier day, which is understandable. Lastly, and the most important, their food; it's delicious! The food is always consistent, delicious, and fresh. I have no complaints. I just wish I can afford to come in more often (but that's a personal problem lol). read more

I heard some good reviews about this place so I decided to order takeout: Super burrito Sope plate Regular nachos After the arriving 20 mins, the food was ready. The restaurant was small but I love the indoor decorations and wished I could had time to take pics. The super burrito was one for the best I ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly and it a great balance of meat, rice, beans, and veggies. Some other places added too much meat and rice so you can't really taste the other ingredients. My wife really enjoyed the Sope plate and the regular nachos had so much portion which looked like super nachos! Picante is definitely my go to for very delicious authentic Mexican food! read more

Picante - They Always go a little extra - Mexican Near Me - Oakley, California

I've always had a solid experience with Picante. I first discovered them on Doordash. I ordered 3 al pastor tacos and they were so delicious! The salon I go to always Doordashes them so when I happen to be there for my appt, they'll order. I've also dined with them twice and ordered the al pastor taco plate that comes with 3 tacos, beans and rice. If you haven't tried their buñuelos, it's perfect for a dessert or with your morning coffee. read more

First time here. Stopped in after visiting Vida Nail Salon with the wife. The food was amazing. When I'm in Oakley I'll definitely stop by again. The service was great. The waitress was super attentive. The ambiance was great with nice decor and music playing. I took the picture after already eating some beans and rice which were the bomb and the carne asada street tacos were delicious too. read more

The BEST pozole I have EVER had. Currently treating a hangover and I door dashed some relief. The broth is SO flavorful with a ton of pork in it. You get a meaty bite every time. Perfectly seasoned. Came with all the fixings, cabbage instead of lettuce which is top tier, onions limes and radish! Delicious. Absolutely worth all the delivery fees from Door Dash lol read more

My husband and I are fairly new to the area and are always looking for good places to grab a quick dinner. Picante is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town! The food is AMAZING, but the customer service is really what keeps us coming back. We've become "regulars" at this point lol. Every visit is so pleasant! The staff here are truly amazing - you can tell they genuinely care about their customers, which is rare these days. Sally, whom I believe is the owner (or maybe the manager), is delightful. She's always welcoming and greets customers upon entry. Those are the small details I pay attention to. Regarding the food, I always get the same thing: nachos or a wet burrito, which never disappoint!! The food here is authentic and very consistent with taste and portion size. The portions are definitely a nice size (I always have leftovers) and it's always so delicious! I've recommended Picante to a couple of friends who've enjoyed it as well. Thank you, Sally and Picante team for always providing a great experience and the best food in town. Definitely recommended! read more

This is our new favorite spot when I want Mexican food that hits the spot. Their wet burritos and mole are so delicious. Even their basics like a bean and cheese burrito, their salsa and chips are great. Amazing service and friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

This place was small with not much seating but we were seated right away. Cute place. I rated it 2 stars only because I ordered the chile relleno. The cheese in the middle was cold and hard. It wasn't until I got it the end of eating it when the cheese started to melt. Very disappointing. read more

- They definitely put heart to the food and how they serve! We went there with friends and the servings are huge and shareable. And, food also is tasty and hearty. The service is phenomenon as they relate and serve kindly to all their customers. We could see also how customer loves and enjoy the place and food. The place might be small and quaint but definitely its clean and colorful and very inviting. read more

Delicious and great service. Cute lil place I'll be back .....................................................

The decor is very well put together and the service was amazing. They came and delivered extra salsa and a bag/extra foil for my burrito since i was going to take part of it to go - without me even having to ask! They then even came and gave extra salsa to go just as a courtesy. Cant recommend this restaurant enough read more

Wow! My boyfriend and I have been searching for a new Mexican restaurant to try, and I'm so glad we found this spot. I kept my order simple with a beans, cheese, and rice burrito with sour cream. I also sampled both the red and green sauces on the side (for wet burritos) and they were both full of flavor. The coffee was amazing, so smooth you don't even need creamer . Service was excellent too; our waitress was friendly and attentive. The interior is decorated super cute, and while there are only a few tables inside, we sat out on the patio and loved it. We'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! read more

First time in, I came in around a very busy time with seemed like a lot of door dash orders. The owner handled it very well. She was very attentive of me waiting , she accommodated my order first since I was waiting inside . I got a carne burrito. She was very nice and offered me a drink while i waited . I got the horchata, it wasn't too sweet it was perfect combination. The burrito was super authentic. And the restaurant is small but I'm glad I found this little spot . I'll be going back to dine in. Thank you for the hospitality. read more

Great food and service.. have had the Caldo de rez multiple time and was always great. A must when you have sick family and don't have the time or energy to make it yourself! Gave my family a ratatouille feeling!! read more

Just found a great place for Mexican food. The Caldo the Rez gives the family the Ratatouille effect and a must when you have sick ones in the house and just dont have time to do it yourself. Tacos, burritos, Nachos Papas all where good. Agua Fresca like horchata taste homemade and not like some other places that just have a concentrate bottle and mix. read more

I just moved to the area and stopped by since yeps reviews were very positive. I ordered a wet burrito it was delicious. They gave me a dessert to try. I was able to meet the owner and daughter. I will return and I hope you will stop by to this family on business in Oakley. read more

My wife and I decided to drive out to Brentwood today we were craving tacos luckily the taco truck we were originally going to give a try was closed so we made our way to Oakley. We've tried so many Mexican restaurants and sort of gave up on finding a Mexican restaurant locally we truly enjoyed until today. I placed a pick up order through DoorDash about 15 minutes prior. When I arrived I loved the theme and decor inside with the music playing at a perfect volume. We ordered two taco plates. One was made with carne asada and the other was prepared with Chorizo. Araceli provided excellent customer service letting me know about their loyalty program and even threw in some free chips and salsa as well as extra limes that I requested. Once we got home we were in shock at how good everything looked. We immediately started eating and found everything to be seasoned to perfection and the plates were very cohesive. I enjoyed the spicy salsa that came with the tacos. The salsa verde was amazing too, but I love spice. The rice as well as beans that were topped with cheese were delicious and we loved how they even put grilled onions and radish to top it all off. Both taco plates were phenomenal my wife and I always rate the restaurants we try and we both admitted it was a 10/10! You all should definitely go check it out you won't be disappointed. We will definitely be stopping by again soon. Thank you again Araceli for the great customer service and food we appreciate you. read more

I apologize for the partially eaten picture but this place is delicious so far! I live within 5minutes from here and have always noticed it when getting some Willy's bagel at 8am but finally decided to try it as we wanted to find a location around here that has a good nacho plate. Fresh ingredients and the guac was just right. I also ordered the quesabirria w/ consommé but that got inhaled so no picture available. Both orders were delicious and I will be visiting again to try the rest of the menu ! They are a small business so I am happy to support them and the community especially since its location isn't too obvious (you'll know when you visit). The staff was really kind but it was to go so I can't comment on eating in but I'm sure it'll be just as good. If you live around the area please give this restaurant a try. It may be your next go to spot when you want to satisfy that craving ! Thank you read more

So me and my husband have been coming here for a while now. It's one of our favorite Mexican restaurants.

Every time my husband picks up food when she is there she is just so kind and welcoming. The restaurant is small, but colorful, fun and clean. We feel at home when we come. read more

I understand mistakes happen. The Owner personally reached out and addressed the issue and promised to crack down on their quality control In the kitchen. That's all I could ask for as a customer, it shows a willingness to acknowledge the problem, nobody Is perfect and I wish nothing but the best for the restaurant. read more
