Description

Despite some mixed reviews from customers about the overall quality of their food and service, Picante continues to be a popular spot among locals. While some have had less than stellar experiences, others rave about the family-friendly atmosphere, top-notch food quality, and friendly staff. The restaurant offers a variety of Mexican delights such as fish tacos, quesadillas, carnitas, freshly made tortillas, and their famous chips and guacamole. Customers can enjoy curbside pickup or dine in the makeshift outdoor space, which some have found less than ideal due to heating issues and excessive plastic waste. Although there are some minor criticisms like limited vegetarian and vegan options, burnt chips, and small portions, many customers still return for the high-quality Mexican cuisine that Picante is known for.

We've known this place for many years, and don't know what happened to it after the renovations. Last time, it was very loud and the food was soso. Today we gave it another try and ordered Huevos Rancheros. The lousiest plate everrrr. Couple of tortillas, two eggs buried under salsa and a scoop of black beans. Oh, and a scratch of crumbled queso. That's it! I know that we're spoiled when going to Puerto Vallarta but comooooonnn. No avocado, rice, jalapeños, pico de gallo or even a little chopped lettuce?? At $35.00 with 1[one] coke?? Kiss my business goodbye Picante ! Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

One of my favorite restaurants in the Berkeley area. Should up 15 minutes before closing and the staff was more than happy to sit us. Food came out fast and we were out by closing.

Heard from many people that it is very good and this place is popular between locals however, unfortunately the food I received was not the best quality and the service either most probably because they were renewing their restaurant.

Very overpriced bland Berkeley chicken breast Mexican restaurant . They are still in lockdown mode because they are obviously making more money than they were before with their normal dining room. Now you can sit outside in the cold and get servedslightly warm food for extremely high prices. Trust me you are way better off with a taco truck. The employees are very nice butprobably overworked and underpaid.
