Welcome to Picante

Mexico is the original home of corn and the organic tortillas we make here are a link to the past that stretches back over 6,000 years.

Nestled in the artsy landscape of West Berkeley, Picante offers traditional dishes from Mexico.

Enticing visitors by the smell of freshly cooked tortillas and earthy mole sauces, the menu includes an array of Mexican favorites such as tamales, tortas, enchiladas, and burritos, as well as a menu for vegetarians and vegans.

"The exquisite tortillas are worth a special trip across the bay.... You will not understand the beauty of the corn tortilla until you taste the ones here."
--Patricia Unterman, San Francisco Examiner
