There was bar, table, and booth seating available. It was quite empty on a Friday evening, with how good the food and service was, they deserve more visitors! This place is hidden behind chic-fil-a but it is worth it. The value is great, too. They have happy hour specials but everything is decently priced as-is. read more

Can't believe it's been 2 years since my last visit, but it's still great and back on my radar... we are kind of in a food desert in this area of town for lunch options, and I was in the mood for Mexican, and it was really good. Kim was awesome and gave great recommendations, and my companions had the Rita's and approved! So, try it! You won't regret it! We had the green enchiladas, both chicken and beef. Each was great but the table wanted my beef... beef green enchiladas, perfect! read more

Stopped in tonight for a late night dinner. And we wanted to try some new things we haven't tried yet. So we got the nachos and we got chicken and beef and wow there was a ton of meat on those nachos. My husband couldn't even finish it and he's a good eater. The fajita meat on the Nachos of course so tender. The chicken was really good too - the chicken was very soft. And you get a little guacamole and sour cream and pico de gallo. I got the enchiladas Rojas, so the red sauce on these enchiladas is spicy. I loved it because I like spicy. I got one chicken and one beef I think I like the beef more than the chicken but the chicken was good. The beef had chunks of their fajita meat. And of course you got rice and beans. You do have the complementary chips and salsa and they have this white dip that it's like a dill dip It's really good. I like to mix it with the red salsa. Dessert - we topped it off with a crème' brûlée which is always delicious. That is our favorite dessert. I'm not sure what flavor of the cream is but it has a butterscotch taste to it. Very good Guys, if you have not tried Picante's, please go try them. They are just trying to get their anchor, and I would love to see them succeed. read more

The food was so bland it was crazy. Good customer service but the food YUCKKKKKKKKK. It's Mexican food, how can you make taste like air!!

showed up around 09:30 for breakfast tacos. we were the only people there. the tacos were inedible and I left most of mine behind. I don't know if it was the time or lack of patrons, but the food was horrible. salsas were excellent read more

The waitress was attentive and sweet, but I was disappointed in the food, especially at their high price point. I had a dish with fajita meat and it was bland and lackluster. It seemed like a major effort was made to give as little as possible, from the salsa to the trimmings for the meal as well. Won't be back. read more

Picante Mexican and Seafood is a smallish restaurant near the intersection of Northwest Freeway and West 34th Street. I recently had a business lunch there with a couple of colleagues. Their food was very tasty. The menu selections were surprisingly numerous especially for a rather small venue. Picante's relaxed, informal ambience is very appealing and prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend Picante's Mexican and Seafood! read more

Service was excellent. Ambiance was good, restaurant not crowded so easy to hear each other. Food was mixed. Mole great. Cheese dip incredibly thin and lacked flavor, seemed to have been watered down. Tamales just okay. read more

Ordered chicken nachos & chicken quesadilla plate. The food was amazing. It's definitely a family restaurant but great for a friends meetup. I can't wait to go back for happy hour & enjoy the complimentary chips & dips (that taste like Casa Olé) again read more

Picante Mexican and Seafood - Caldo de Res - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came in for dinner and ordered the green chicken enchiladas. Honestly everything was just so watered down. The house salsa was bland, they serve the same type of white sauce that Chuy's does which told me just about everything I needed to know. Rice had too much water so when it came out hot and wet... the texture of it was mushy. The salsa verse on the enchiladas was also ver bland and I was instantly disappointed. The chicken, although moist, was diced and so when I tried to go for my first bite, the tortilla cannot sustain the chicken. I would suggest shredding the chicken. It would help in so many ways. The service was ok. The guys were constantly checking in our table; but when the time came that we needed something...it would take them a while. I was originally brought over my plate without silverware and when I asked for it...they forgot about it for a while. read more

I was coming back to town one afternoon on 290 and decided to stop for some lunch. Yelp gave me a few suggestions based on my location, and one of them was Picante. I was looking for seafood, so this place seemed interesting. It is only been open for a few months, so it is not well known. Yet! As luck would have it, they had just prepared several dishes for a photo shoot for Uber Eats. So I had an opportunity to taste a few different items when they were done. Not knowing what to expect, I was amazed at how good they were! I even had a chance to chat with the chef, who is originally from Acapulco, Mexico. He was a very nice guy and happy to share his story and his delicious food. And I have to say, it was all outstanding! I have attached a photo of some of the dishes I tried. I won't bore you with reviews of all of them, but a couple were so good I feel compelled to mention them. Perhaps their signature dish, since it bares their name, is Pescato Picante. It has a fillet of white, flaky fish covered in a light orange cream sauce, served over a bed of rice and topped with 3 large, bacon wrapped shrimp. Everything about this dish was fantastic! I also got to try the Pescato Ahogato, which uses a similar type of fish, but with a light brown mushroom sauce. It was also delicious! Another one of their specialties is Mole sauce. They serve it over chicken or other meats. It is authentic and very good. The margarita I had to wash all the food down was also very good. Overall this was an delightful meal, and I will definitely be back to Pecante soon! read more

Those little drinks were strongg. I took a couple sips of out of each one and I felt tipsy afterwards. Very tasty tho! The sizzler had a huge portion. You could decide if you wanted to have enough for 1,2, or 3 people. The food was good. I was full fast. I loved that they made the burgers medium rare. That's the perfect burger to me! So it's a very filling restaurant! The host was nice as well as the staff. Great teamwork because the staff didn't fail to help each other when one was busy. The restaurant was decorated beautifully it had a great Mexican theme. read more

Brought my family here for dinner and the food was good. The beef fajita was tasty and tender but more than anything their service is top tier. Very welcoming environment and the music is point. I went with the tomatillo enchiladas . Also the salsas they provide with the chips are bomb beware of the light green read more

I hate to do this after giving them 5 star reviews two times already but this visit was terrible. Staff still very nice but we ordered the fajitas and there were 3 huge chunks of beef, not like the usual strips, and I thought they looked rare and after a minute I saw that they were bloody rare. I couldn't even look at them they were so rare and it's no wonder as huge as the hunks of meat were. Plus the shrimp wrapped inside the bacon was not done. Chicken was fine but neither the chicken nor the beef was as flavorful as our first visit and the beef wasn't as tender. Beans and rice were good. Our first visit, they gave El Tiempo a run for their money but this visit means I don't think I'll ever go back. I certainly wouldn't order fajitas again if I did. So disappointed. read more
