Best burrito of my entire live
A hidden gem in San Rafael! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle in a quiet neighborhood, Picante offers delicious food at reasonable prices—and gut-busting portion sizes.
Solid carnitas burrito in San Rafael. No on site bike storage/ lock areas. Great atmosphere. Expansive Jarritos selection.

Picante is a lively restaurant with a large, comfortable space featuring cozy booths and lots of indoor seating. The menu offers a range of spicy and non-spicy Mexican dishes, including generous portions of tacos, burritos, and salads. Standout items include the al pastor Tortas, Horchata, and the best salad ever, which features fresh ingredients like cabbage, radishes, jicama, beans, chicken, corn tostada, carrots, and pico de gallo. The grilled chicken on the Mexican Caesar salad is particularly praised for its great flavor. While the service can be average and the music loud, the food is generally good, with highlights such as the shrimp burrito and carne asada nachos. Families will feel comfortable in the relaxed atmosphere, and despite limited parking, it's worth a visit if you're in the area. The restaurant is also known for some of the best fish tacos in Marin, all at great prices, and the walls are beautifully mosaiced with local landscapes.
