Picante Berkeley
While there are many Mexican restaurants in the East Bay, Picante is the best choice for families with kids any age. They are located in Berkeley on 6th street. Picante offers original Mexican cuisine and a clean and somewhat loud environment with music playing and people constantly walking by your table- you don’t have to worry about your toddler screaming bloody murder in the middle of the restaurant! You can also enjoy delicious food including soups, mole and carne asada plates with fresh ingredients and very fast service. Food is served very fast, usually within 3-6 minutes after ordering!
My son loves the rice and beans plate with hand made tortillas (you can see when they are making them in the big “comal”, or flat pan that fits about 20 tortillas). My favorite plate is the “manchamanteles” (Spanish for tablecloth stainer), chicken in a red mole sauce with grilled pineapple, which is great- you can get it in a salad, a burrito or a taco.
I highly recommend Picante because of the quality of their food and their friendly staff and their family friendly environment. The only thing I don’t look forward to when going there is the long lines before you get to order your food. However the wait is worth it!
