Next time you’re waiting for your food at Picante, take a look around. 👀
Jim has called the art throughout the restaurant “a lifetime of art procurement.” The masks and other pieces he’s collected over the years found their places in the dining room when he redesigned it after the remodel.
You might spot something you’ve walked past a dozen times.

The first thing you do with a tamale is the best part: peel back the husk and see what’s inside.

Picante is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.
Before your Picante order reaches the table, tortillas are hitting the griddle, chips are coming out of the fryer, and bowls are being finished in the kitchen.
Then, the best part: deciding where to start. 🤤
What are you ordering?
Open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.

You picked the food. Now, what are you drinking with it?
Something citrusy? Something refreshing with mint? Or the one you order every time without looking at the rest of the menu?

Berkeley is giving us some pretty perfect patio weather this week. ☀️
It’s a good excuse for a tostada salad, our signature shrimp cocktail, chips and guacamole, or a Picante bowl loaded with fresh, crunchy vegetables. Add one of our fruit agua frescas or a cold b**r, then save room for Straus Organic chocolate or vanilla soft serve.
Grab a table on the patio, or order everything to go and take dinner home. We’re open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.

There’s just something about Picante after dark. 🌅
A Berkeley sunset, the string lights on, and dinner out on the patio. It’s pretty hard to beat.
We’re open until 9 tonight. And every night.
You know it’s gonna be a good meal when the homemade tortillas show up. 👀
A little Picante POV from one of our customers because sometimes the best way to show you what’s for dinner is to let someone else do it!
Homemade tortillas and plenty to pile onto them? Doesn’t get much better than that. 🤤
We’re open daily from 11 am to 9 pm. See you soon.
