    No place in Murrysville/Delmont has gone downhill faster than Picante and this pains me to say this because it used to be great. Their service is very poor and the food has slipped big time. The wait times are excruciating and they screw up orders often. Shame on me for giving them more tries. Very sad state of affairs at Picante.

    Blurry website pics, can't really see the food

    I can't believe this place has been around as long as it has and their website has so few pictures, and the ones they have are blurry like taken with a 2010 Razr flip phone! The food is good enough, and the specials are what make it worth going. They really should focus on their online menu--like descriptions and pictures and PRICES , not just lists of what they have. Who wants to go when you see an add in the Local Smart Shopper for BOGO meals and such but you can't even find out how much food costs in the first place? It's 2025, get it together! *examples of blurry pics and menu without descriptions or prices shown posted.

    I LOVE picante Mexican grill! They have some of my favorite Mexican food. We drive almost 30 minutes for it just because we love it so much. A divey little spot with AMAZING service and great food. When we can't decide where to go, we never say no to picante!

    Chips and queso
    David T.

    Went here on a date at her suggestion. End enjoyed the chips that were placed on our table soon after we sat down. The salsa had quite a kick. We got queso - which was very runny (we had to let it run of the chip like water from a pitcher to avoid getting it on everything) but was okay when it finally stopped running off of the tortillas. I had the Mexico City enchiladas. The cheese one was my favorite. The proteins were plentifully stuffed in the enchilada shells. The rice helped calm the spice of the salsa on top. It was a very good dinner save for the runny queso.

    Although they were busy, we were seated immediately, and promptly greeted by our server. Excellent service and attentiveness. Food is good and portions generous. Only complaint is, I believe there is an exhaust fan issue in the kitchen - - your clothes will inevitably pick up an odor. Hopefully this matter gets addressed!!

    I always liked this restaurant and the food they serve. A bit disappointed on my most recent visit. Our server wasn't very friendly. I always give people benefit of the doubt, in case, they are dealing with difficulties. We were seated, drink orders taken and then waited to give our dinner choices. He returned and took the order; then disappeared for the next 30 minutes. Suddenly, he appeared to drop our check off...without asking if we wanted drink refills, no checking if the food was all right, or if we wanted dessert. I had to flag down another server for a drink refill. Husband wanted another margarita, but after waiting so long, he changed his mind. No idea what the issue was for the employee. He has worked there a long time. He just didn't seem interested in providing any of his customers any interaction until time to pay the check. Food was excellent, by the way.

    Great location, wonderful food, reasonable prices and great ambiance. The name translates to…read moreMexican Cowboy, and that theme is reflected throughout in the artwork and food. The service was excellent and the portions were large. I love the menu and the variety of dishes. They played great dance music all the time, but we were able to easily talk and enjoy our meal. The parking was free, and it was fun to walk around afterwards and enjoy the historic square.

    I have eaten here on several occasions and always had a wonderful, tasty experience!…read moreThe inside has a lot of bright, fun colors and Mexican flags and other themed paintings. It is bright, cheerful and very clean. The menu has the typical Mexican restaurant options like tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas and burritos and the also have a kids menu. I love their chorizo con huevo because not a lot of places have that kind of dish on their menu. It is chorizo (theirs has a great deal of flavor and isn't greasy like chorizo sometimes can be), onions, peppers and eggs. They serve it with tortillas and rice. Lots of food and packed with flavor. I have also tasted the enciladas and my husband loved the cowboy burrito. For drinks, especially during the summer they have awesome daily specials. I've tried the watermelon water and the cucumber lime. So very refreshing! Service is friendly and attentive and they are great about answering any questions that you might have about menu items. I highly recommend having lunch or dinner here and then heading next door to the creamery for delicious ice cream.

The service was very slow and we felt ignored. Sure there are lots of excuses for this but this shouldn't be when you see other tables being served faster. The food was good.

Service was slow, all of our dishes were served warm at best (mine was cold), only exception being the fajitas which were served steaming hot. I had enchiladas plus a taco. Not very flavorful and skimpy on the fillings. A lot of tortilla and sauce but very little meat. My wife had the chili rellenos and while deep fried on the outside the cheese inside wasn't melted. One friend had the dish that they serve flaming (can't recall its name and I didn't get a pic) and it was meh. The fish tacos also not a highlight. The steak fajitas were said to be pretty good. Also note, chips and salsa are not complimentary, they charge $3.50 for soda water and have a sign at the entrance notifying a 5% discount if paying cash (i.e. a 5% credit card fee). I'm not sure if this was just an off night for them or not but there are a few Mexican spots in the area that are consistently good (Plaza Azteca in White Oak and El Campesino in Monroeville). I likely won't try Madero again.
