I went to Picante because CITYSEARCH rated it #2 out of ten best Mexican restaurants.. I've tried Dona Tomas already..good for California style Mexican... I wanted authentic and this was rated the highest. I cant understand why!!!????? I ordered green enchiladas...Lousy, lousy lousy...no flavor it came with the worst tasting refried beans... which is hard to mess up the only thing that was good and with authentic flavor was the rice we also ordered super nachos and honestly remember the nachos bellgrande from Taco Bell tasting better than Picante's nachos my husband order the carne asada he said it was ok if you like cold meat..flavor was alright I was not surprised that not one Latino was dining there...fresh should not equal to no flavor Picante's only authenticity is the Latino waitstaff If anyone wants real good authentic Mexican food go to Jay n Bee Bar/Martha's Kitchen in SF on 20th and York...everything is made from scratch...including the chips that they fry themselves. Honestly , Picante is no comparison
Pros: the rice
Cons: the flavorless food
