If you are a fan of lumpy guacamole, you will be in heaven. Their guak and homemade chips are unparalleled. A massive helping for less than $5. Can't be beat, unless you get your guak off a roach coach.

Simply the easiest place to go in Berkeley for lunch with the under 5 set. The chips if you are lucky to get 'em warm are heavenly. Everything is tasty and the kids actually eat! The tortilla making is very fun too. The staff is very friendly and will always get us an extra tortilla at no extra charge.

Tried Picante just this past Saturday after reading many positive reviews from citysearch as well as Check Please, Bay Area, and unfortunately, was pretty disappointed. We ordered two entrees (the chicken mole enchiladas and carne asada plate) and an appetizer (chips and salsa fresca). the appetizer came after we got the entrees. both entrees lacked flavor and was rather bland. the carne asada was dry. the salsa fresca had no spice whatsoever. out of all the food, the only items that were decent were the rice, complimentary salsa, and chips.

I went to Picante because CITYSEARCH rated it #2 out of ten best Mexican restaurants.. I've tried Dona Tomas already..good for California style Mexican... I wanted authentic and this was rated the highest. I cant understand why!!!????? I ordered green enchiladas...Lousy, lousy lousy...no flavor it came with the worst tasting refried beans... which is hard to mess up the only thing that was good and with authentic flavor was the rice we also ordered super nachos and honestly remember the nachos bellgrande from Taco Bell tasting better than Picante's nachos my husband order the carne asada he said it was ok if you like cold meat..flavor was alright I was not surprised that not one Latino was dining there...fresh should not equal to no flavor Picante's only authenticity is the Latino waitstaff If anyone wants real good authentic Mexican food go to Jay n Bee Bar/Martha's Kitchen in SF on 20th and York...everything is made from scratch...including the chips that they fry themselves. Honestly , Picante is no comparison

So good all the time, I've never had a bad dish at Picante. And, they make margaritas from scratch (fresh lime juice), not from a margarita mix -- so awesome!!
