So Michael and I got hungry one day and were too lazy to go to the store. We had seen this little hole in the wall Mexican stand (literally a stand inside a doorway) a few blocks down and decided to dabble with it. We didn’t think Picante was going to be super authentic even though we lived next to little Mexico/Puerto Rico, so we didn’t have high expectations to begin with.
The menu was short and sweet. Mainly burritos, tacos and a fajita meal adorned the wall menu with the option for sides of sour cream, salsa, guacamole and jalapenos. We each got a beef fajita plate, trying to stay as paleo as possible. The plate came with rice, beans and tortillas of your choice. I got to say, for the price 8.95 for a plate, it wasn’t too shabby. They make them fresh so we had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. Good flavor and tender. The beans were really good, tortillas were actually cooked and the rice was just ok. They did have a Mexican cooking behind the counter so that must have been why 
I will have to try La Pasadita that’s close by. there are 3 in a row across the street from us. My parents went for lunch and thought it was pretty yummy so it’s definitely worth a shot in my book. I’ve also heard this place called Nuevo Leon a few streets away is pretty good too. I can’t wait to start really dabbling in these Mexican restaurants!
All in all, Picante is a pretty good little stop over for us and I will definitely be back to try a burrito. Not to mention, we are on the cusp of their delivery map so we can get it delivered during the winter!
Picante!
