Picante Catering - Berkeley

Good variety of Mexican fare. Multiple dishes available, all I tried have been quite good. Informal environment, and outside dining available. Easy access by car.

Nice and cozy outside eating area as well as a festive sit down restaurant.

I enjoyed dinner here with family. This is a counter service restaurant that has great margaritas and outdoor seating Very popular with a long line to place your order. I don't care for counter service and usually avoid this kind of service, but the wait was well worth it. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is lively with many patrons, from students to families. The guacamole was one of the best I've ever had, chunky and velvety. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a great Mexican restaurant in the East Bay.

Stopped in today with a friend and we ordered luncheon items. LOVED our food fish tacos for me, and some sort of chicken tacos for her. Iced tea, great chips and some of the best salsa ever. And there are TWO separate parking lots you can park in to go to lunch here free parking a huge plus for Berkeley. I'd return in a heartbeat!

Last weekend we tried Puesto out in the Veranda in Concord and were decidedly underwhelmed. This place is less than half the price of that and the food and service are way better!
