great place to hang out with your team after a game at gilman fields. love the shrimp diablos (camarones a la diabla) burrito and an order of nachos is huge.
Marshall MermellDecember 30, 2012Try the Hevos Con Chorizo. Three organic eggs scrambled with chorizo and served with choice of beans and tortillas.
Great place to get a huge plate of Mexican food and bring your babies. Very family friendly and excellent dishes.
Nachos are massive, way too much for 2 people. Really delicious though, I thought everything was super flavorful. I wished I had 2 stomaches so I could eat it all
Awesome burritos. I have my favorite, but everything is delicious. And all the salsa you could ask for.
Jon HauptApril 22, 2016Excellent menu with useful guides for vegan, vegetarian and other dietary needs.
- Zack StocktonJune 16, 2015Come for coffee and stay for breakfast. This cafe de olla is out of control good. Do yourself a favor and have one.
David ArrantsJanuary 30, 2017Manchamanteles mole as tacos, burrito or a plate is absolutely a party in your mouth. Love this place.
Thomas HardyJune 22, 2015We have had 4 meals at Picante, odered something different every time, never a disappointment. I would recommend, but don't want you to come make them to busy. 8-)
Olivia sSbbetJune 1, 2015I loved it. Went for a birthday, ordered and steak burrito, it was fantastic. Bet burrito I've ever had
Maddie MaeAugust 21, 2014For takeout, call in your order before you drive over and they'll bring it out to you curbside!
JessicaFebruary 16, 2014For maximum flavor, be sure to get the chorizo con papas! Then try all the salsas and find your favorite.- The food here is bland to some palates but it's a family friendly place with consistently high quality well-prepared for the American palate
Kathleen O'HoraJuly 25, 2017Food was absolutely delicious but I do not recommend ordering their spicy beer drink unless you want to ruin your digestive system.
Woob GlampungJuly 1, 2015Tasteless dishwater vegetables, crunchy, dry rice, and shrimp that tasted off in a very forgettable red sauce. Will order something other than Shrimp Diablo next time.
This place is tasty and easy with kids. Other than that it's hard to recommend. There is nothing special here.
Everything is delish. Personal favorite is the carne asada tacos with pintos and lots of their salsas...
Love this place! Everything so good - except the horchata. Get the watermelon instead
Their brunch can be stellar, but still a bit bland. Chocolate Angel Food Cake is really good!!! Original and tasty!!
Brian CarverJuly 2, 2011Electronic table service system means I can forget the chips & guac and still save the day by ordering from the table!
Fido FactorAugust 3, 2011Awesome Mexican food and you can sit at the front patio tables with your dog.- Love the huevas mexicana and cafe de olla for a leisurely weekend breakfast
- Get the manchamantales (sweet-savory red chicken mole). The plate is my fave, but it's delicious in any form. Yum!
We like the American Mexican food here. I use lot of red and green sauces.
- Michael QuinnMarch 5, 2010Manchamanteles. Picante's version of chicken mole. Incredible. Often referee to as the 'tablecloth stainer'.
You get a massive amount of chips for a buck. Way worth it.
Jomar EncisoMay 18, 2012Not all that...I always pass by here everyday and have always wondered what the food is like...not all that

"The sophisticated and finely tuned cocktail program is worth the BART trip alone (wait until you try the sangritas). The Palomaesque ($9) is a recommended way to start."

"Bread is super awesome. Mostly everything there is yum try the bread with a coffee feels like an upscale Mexican panaderia. Dani the waiter is super friendly I love his vibe :)"
