I needed a platter of tacos for a baby shower the next business day. Fortunately, Picante Taqueria said they were able to do it! We ordered about 25 steak tacos and 5 vegetarian tacos. They were DELICIOUS! The guests loved them -- especially my vegetarian friends who said these tacos were the best vegetarian tacos they've ever had. Thank you Picante Taqueria team for the high quality tacos and easy pickup process. *There were more salsas and toppings than just those seen in the picture.

This is only for their breakfast, which PLEASE BRING BACK BREAKFAST! Their breakfast tacos and burritos are world class. Full of favor and chock full of food. The green salsa is delicious!

It’s a nice late nights eat restaurant. The food was good and it came out quick. You have to sit outside so if you’re lot okay with the weather, you can eat inside or your car.

Incredible customizable breakfast options, the food is so fresh and delicious!! Their service was top notch, quick, and so reasonably priced. It was a lovely experience. Cute picnic tables out front to sit at too! Can't wait to return!

Tiny place, not a lot of seating options. I had a chicken, al pastor, and steak taco. They were all flavorful. They had a lunch special for 3 tacos, rice, beans for 10 at this time. I asked for no cilantro but they added it. I must not have said it loud enough. Otherwise I was pretty happy with the food. I would get food from there again.
