Picante Mexican Grill - Painesville

Can't wait to try more items from the menu but I keep ordering the quesadillas cuz they're that good! Upgrade to deluxe for free, plus you can order quesadilla dorado any day of the week!

Terrific food, very good prices. I went one Friday and they had a house musician, playing pop songs on guitar and singing with a tip jar. It is true some staff are not strong in English but of course others are, and all will work with you until they see what you want. It is a wonderful atmosphere is you go during peak hours and of course faster if you go off peak. Also there is an improved bilingual menu over the cash register. The point, though, is extremely good food. The soup orders (pozole and menudo) are not individual servings they are meant for a small group and they make great take out items.

My wife I just finished dinner at Picante we loved everything! It was our 1st time here. The tacos my quesadilla were delicious. You can get so many different meat fillings including tripe tongue (lengua) which I love being of Italian heritage. We both highly recommend will definitely be back will do take out sometime too.

We had sone chorizo and some beef tacos. Totally authentic and totally delicious. I will stop in again for sure.

Yikes. I was so excited to try this place; I live nearby and Mexican food is one of my favorites. What an utter disappointment. When we sat down, there was one other table in the restaurant. It took our server quite a while to take our drink orders. My boyfriend and I both got pop. She brings us two cans of pop, no glass, no straw, no ice. Then we get our chips and salsa. The chips were hot and fresh but the salsa was so runny like nothing I've ever had before. I mean runny like water, not just a little too thin. We waited a considerable amount of time to get our food and when it was brought, we did not get any utensils. After about three minutes I had to find our server to get them which was a little frustrating. I ordered tacos and a quesadilla. I have to say, the presentation was really nice and the food looked delicious! Unfortunately, looks are deceiving. My ground beef tacos were just that, ground beef. No seasoning at all and it was very bland. And due to the watery salsa, we could not put it on our tacos which was disappointing because who doesn't want salsa on their tacos? I took the first two bites of my quesadilla and got mouthfuls of potatoes. That was odd to me so I opened it up and found that they put potatoes in the meat and I had about 85% potatoes...and a nice long hair cooked into it. Needless to say, I left still hungry. I would normally give a place a second chance but considering everything here was disappointing from beginning to end, this restaurant is off my list. I wish this could have been a better review but our experience was a huge fail all the way around.
