I bought a groupon and it was misleading. It says 1 starter and 2 entrees. The waitress said I had to get a meal under $15. The food was very good and the service was great. Just disappointed with the groupon.
Wow, what incredible food. Went for Taco Tuesday and had 3 carne asada tacos while my wife got traditional tacos with ground beef. They were amazing. The complimentary chips and salsa was delicious. Also ordered a side of jalapeños toreanado that were perfect. The service couldn’t have been better, super friendly and fast. Very nice location in Little Italy. Would highly recommend!
I was excited to try this restaurant given its excellent reviews, but the experience fell a bit short. The food was fresh but lacked the bold flavors I expected. On the positive side, the service was outstanding. José was warm, attentive, and very helpful. A note for diners: they don’t serve alcohol, so if margaritas are a must, this may not be the Mexican restaurant to choose. Overall, great service but the food did not quite live up to the reputation.
I chose Picante Taco because of all the good reviews online. Our server was pleasant and the service was good. The food was good. I couldn't finish it all. I was surprised they didn't serve alcohol. Not a Corona in sight. That's not a bad thing it just took me by surprise. The menu is loaded and it's very cost friendly.
This is one of the better Mexican restaurants we’ve been to in the area. It’s a little hole-in-the-wall spot, obscured by the surrounding Little Italy neighborhood — but what a find it is. We got carne asada tacos and quesabirra. This is the flavor I have a personal preference for when going out for authentic Mexican. Asada was a little dry but otherwise on point. Our server José was attentive, despite it being a somewhat busy spot. Doordashers in and out, but not forgetting the folks who came in to sit down; I really did appreciate that. Overall, I think this is a place we’ll have to continue to visit when we’re in the area. ★★★★★
