  Its not common that Mexican restaurants have the Torta de Cubana so I was excited to see it on the menu, and it was excellent! They give you plenty of meat and ingredients. Also I love the atmosphere, its cozy but enough space for some privacy and the energy was authentic to the culture. Easy 5 stars from me.

  Really great option if your looking for a low key option in little Italy. The wait staff was really kind. Only a few blocks from the harbor in a cute neighborhood to walk around in.

  Had a Groupon for Picante Taco that was about to expire, so we went on a bit of a whim. So glad we didn’t let it go to waste. I had little to no expectations since I’d never heard of this place, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food exceeded any expectations I had going in. My partner’s burrito was delicious, and my parrillada Oaxaca came with different proteins (chorizo, steak, carnitas, chicken, and shrimp), all well seasoned, plus tortillas and a side of beans and rice. I also tried their horchata, which they make with peanuts. First time having a flavored horchata and it was really good. Service was great too, and the place itself is on the smaller side, cozy and cute, nothing pretentious. Definitely going back and would recommend.

  Worst experience ever. I ordered a fajita bar for 60 people. I got 1 medium tray of chicken, a lot of lettuce and chips, no stake, no pepper and onion mix. When I called, they left me on hold for 15 minutes. I called back, no answer. Highly unprofessional. Had to get pizza for the hungry staff. We were all looking forward to fajitas.

  Today I visited Picante for dinner and had a great experience! Jose was my server and was very attentive. It was my first time trying the restaurant. The inside was very clean, colorful and welcoming. I sat myself which wasn't problem and Jose came over and introduced himself and asked if I was ready to order. I started with a sprite and some queso dip. The queso dip was delicious. For my entree I tried the Cali-Cali Burrito which had carne asada, French fries, queso cheese, sour cream and guacamole. It also came with chips and salsa. The burrito was absolutely delicious 😋🤤! Hot and fresh!!!!!! While I ate I asked to try a sample of the Horchata which Jose said was no problem. That was first time trying it and it was refreshing and delicious so I decided to get one to-go. Jose gave great service he checked on me multiple times while also being very attentive to other guests. The prices are also very affordable. I also really liked that they had a TV that displayed pictures with names of some of their menu items! Overall great experience and I will be returning!
