    Super Nachos with adobo
    Heather B.

    Super delicious and we've loved every dish! Our family has ordered from here several times now and we're big fans. Some of the entrees we have tried have included the torta, super nachos, enchiladas, quesadilla, street tacos and some of the proteins have been pastor, Pollo Desebrado, Chile Verde, carnitas, lengua, and so far all have been flavorful, juicy, and fresh. Our food has been prepared in a timely manner and service has been good quality whenev we have done pickups. Parking was not a problem at all and the decor is fairly standard, but good and gives off a nice taqueria vibe. But the main takeaway is how tasty the food is. It isn't bland or boiled -- hits just the right spice notes. We highly recommend!

    This review is overdue. This little gem is just 5 minutes from my house and I just started coming here. The service is amazing. I've been surprised with complimentary buñuelos, and an extra agua de jamaica just because. The owner which is regularly working alongside her crew, is very attentive and caring. So far I've tried their tortas and birria burritos. Omg sooooo good!! Support this restaurant! The service and the food is just too good.

    My husband and I came across this place via Yelp. Il had pretty hood reviews and we were craving Mexican food. The place is located in a strip mall and a little bit hidden but it is still a good find. The inside is cutely decorated with Mexican theme. We met the owner, Aracely, very nice lady. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and tended to us now and then which we loved! I ordered a sopes plate and my husband ordered a chile relleno plate, both very good! After our meal, the owner talked with us a little and gave us free flan dessert to go. We will definitely come back to this place!

    I heard some good reviews about this place so I decided to order takeout: Super burrito Sope plate Regular nachos After the arriving 20 mins, the food was ready. The restaurant was small but I love the indoor decorations and wished I could had time to take pics. The super burrito was one for the best I ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly and it a great balance of meat, rice, beans, and veggies. Some other places added too much meat and rice so you can't really taste the other ingredients. My wife really enjoyed the Sope plate and the regular nachos had so much portion which looked like super nachos! Picante is definitely my go to for very delicious authentic Mexican food!

    Asada street taco meal was

    First time here. Stopped in after visiting Vida Nail Salon with the wife. The food was amazing. When I'm in Oakley I'll definitely stop by again. The service was great. The waitress was super attentive. The ambiance was great with nice decor and music playing. I took the picture after already eating some beans and rice which were the bomb and the carne asada street tacos were delicious too.

    I love picante so bad! They are always so friendly the ordering online is so efficient , the food is always fresh and good and they give complimentary chips if you order off their website and sometimes dessert! They are the best!

    Grilled Chicken Nachos (the portion of this plate is insane!)
    Tamara N.

    My husband and I are fairly new to the area and are always looking for good places to grab a quick dinner. Picante is by far the best Mexican restaurant in town! The food is AMAZING, but the customer service is really what keeps us coming back. We've become "regulars" at this point lol. Every visit is so pleasant! The staff here are truly amazing - you can tell they genuinely care about their customers, which is rare these days. Sally, whom I believe is the owner (or maybe the manager), is delightful. She's always welcoming and greets customers upon entry. Those are the small details I pay attention to. Regarding the food, I always get the same thing: nachos or a wet burrito, which never disappoint!! The food here is authentic and very consistent with taste and portion size. The portions are definitely a nice size (I always have leftovers) and it's always so delicious! I've recommended Picante to a couple of friends who've enjoyed it as well. Thank you, Sally and Picante team for always providing a great experience and the best food in town. Definitely recommended!

    This is the best restaurant in Oakley!! The food, people, atmosphere are amazing! I can't say enough good things

They also have a full bar, which is always a plus! We started with a Modelo and a Lagunitas IPA, both on draft, along with a Cadillac Margarita. They bring out complimentary chips, salsa, and bean dip, and everything was delicious. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Nancy, who was both our waitress and bartender. She was amazing! Our chips were getting low and before we even had to ask, she noticed and immediately brought us a fresh basket along with more salsa and bean dip. That kind of attentive service makes such a difference! For our meal, we ordered the Chile Verde lunch special, which was a really good size and very satisfying, plus two à la carte tacos. Everything hit the spot! Between the great atmosphere, drinks, food, and especially the friendly service, we had such a good experience. We're already planning our next visit!

(4 guests) We ordered, a breakfast plate, two lunch taco plates, and my wife ordered 4 flutas ala carte. We also ordered 2 coffees, 2 sodas and a Flan. Total bill $106.00 + 10% Tip. Servers were nice, brought out drinks out, with chips and salsa. 15 minutes later the breakfast plate was delivered. I had to ask for silverware, as there wasn't any on the table. 10 minutes later both taco plates were delivered, asked for silverware again. Server asked if there was anything else. Wife asked about her flutas? There was a bit of a scramble and then it appeared that they put the flutas order in. Everyone finished their food, and the Flan was brought out. Flutas finally arrived, wife was not happy. Asked for a togo box and we left. When asked what happened, she had nothing to say and dropped off 2 $5 off passes for our next visit. That's it, nothing more. Hope this helps management/ownership make some useful changes or at least gives them some valuable information.
