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 Mermell

Try the Hevos Con Chorizo . Three organic eggs scrambled with chorizo and served with choice of beans and tortillas .

Nino E

Great place to get a huge plate of Mexican food and bring your babies. Very family friendly and excellent dishes.

Libby Lee-Egan

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

Jessica

For maximum flavor, be sure to get the chorizo con papas ! Then try all the salsas and find your favorite.

Jon Haupt

Excellent menu with useful guides for vegan , vegetarian and other dietary needs .

George Dy

Awesome burritos . I have my favorite, but everything is delicious. And all the salsa you could ask for.

Zack Stockton

Come for coffee and stay for breakfast . This cafe de olla is out of control good. Do yourself a favor and have one.

Manchamanteles mole as tacos , burrito or a plate is absolutely a party in your mouth. Love this place.

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

Thomas Hardy

We 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-)

The fish tacos are to die for????

Maddie Mae

For takeout , call in your order before you drive over and they'll bring it out to you curbside!

Alex Choi ❄️

Al Pastor was amazing, tortillas on point

Woob Glampung

Tasteless 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.

Kathleen O'Hora

Food was absolutely delicious but I do not recommend ordering their spicy beer drink unless you want to ruin your digestive system.

Nachos are awesome, and everything is super huge portions .

Everything is delish. Personal favorite is the carne asada tacos with pintos and lots of their salsas ...

Brian Strauss

This place is tasty and easy with kids. Other than that it's hard to recommend. There is nothing special here.

Cafe de olla - a true treat!

Mitsu Hadeishi

Love this place! Everything so good - except the horchata . Get the watermelon instead

Wonderful ceviche and shrimp diablo

Nicholas Hart

Best Mexican brunch food in Berkeley.

Electronic table service system means I can forget the chips & guac and still save the day by ordering from the table!

Peter van Hardenberg

Root beer on tap was a pleasant surprise.

Luis Gachuz-Meza

Their brunch can be stellar, but still a bit bland. Chocolate Angel Food Cake is really good!!! Original and tasty!!

We like the American Mexican food here. I use lot of red and green sauces .

I love the sopa de azteca whenever I have a cold. Or when I don't.

Pamela Rouse

Try the Chorizo Con Papas - My favorite

J T

I had tall expectations after looking at the menu, but the flavors disappointed.

Curtis Lam

You get a massive amount of chips for a buck. Way worth it.

Robert Vaughan

Good carne asada , not fond of the a la carte menu

Michael Quinn

Manchamanteles . Picante's version of chicken mole . Incredible. Often referee to as the 'tablecloth stainer'.

Super steak burrito !

Emily Parker

Try the chorizo and potato super burrito .

Jomar Enciso

Not all that...I always pass by here everyday and have always wondered what the food is like...not all that
