“ I stopped by at 9:30am on a Tuesday morning. There was already a good buzz inside. (And also a jukebox...nice). The customer in front of me was picking up a work order of approximately 20 burritos. The interior is warm and colorful. I immediately knew I loved it. I ordered one breakfast burrito (super delicious and good portion) and an al pastor burrito to freeze for a later date. The mini fridge of to-go salsas was perfect. My only criticism is for myself....for not trying Picante sooner! ”
“ This is my go to place for a Mission style burrito. I live in San Francisco and i’d rather drive to San Raphael than try to find parking in the Mission. The ingredients are super fresh. They have 4 kinds of salsa available and my favorite is the Habanero. It’s spicy and is full of flavor. The salsa is self serve and you can have as much as you want. The prices are great, the portions are really big, and the flavors are great. I always get the super vegetarian burrito and my friends get carnitas or some of the other meat dishes. They always have parking available. The people who work there are very nice and they play good music. This place is awesome! ”
“ Flavorful food, decent price. Costumer service wasn’t the best but I understand that people is not always having a good time . I enjoy the restaurant and the music that reminds it me to my country. ”
“ Wow! This place is great. We had the Chile Verdi Plate and a salad with shrimp. The plate was a good size portion and both were delicious. I loved the vinaigrette dressing on the salad and the flavor on the shrimp. We’ll be back to try more- in saw the nachos as we were leaving and they looked devine. The outdoor area was really pleasant as well. We had a very good meal here. ”
“ Never got any bad dishes there. Staff is always helpful and polite. One of the better tasting places ”
