absolutely delicious. the pastor chimichanga was perfect, perfect flavors. the birria taco was also really good. the pork tamales meat was delicious, however the masa was a little thick, otherwise delicious. the hot sauce was adequate, it seemed a bit mild to me, the Verde sauce was really good. overall I really enjoyed the meal.

I ordered the Wet Regular Burrito. I had a special dietary request, and Picante called me to confirm as well as making sure I received the correct food to my liking. They even were able to change my drink request. My food arrived within 15 mins, it was still hot! Everything was exactly how I requested it. It tasted so delicious and the portion was huge. The green and red mole was so flavorful, it had an incredible depth a flavor. The food outstanding. The customer service was the best I have ever received from anyone anywhere. Thank you for a great experience.

I am so fortunate to find Picante! This little Oakley restaurant serves up the best mexican cuisine I've had in years. The three soft Taco Plate made me realize why its so popular. I also got Bean Dip and the taste and the huge portion are impressive. They've got a faithful customer here.

delicious, I may have eaten this a bit too fast,it being soooo good. the hot sauce had a nice bit of a lil kick to it in which it greatly enhanced the flavors. I got the birria Wet Super Burrito the meat was tender packed with flavor. the overall flavors that were combined within the Wet Super Burrito were crafted with perfection.
