Fantastic authentic taqueriaUpdated 2024I have to dock this place some stars, not because the food or service is bad, but because it's been incredibly unreliable over the years.The owner seems to have no idea what they want to do with both this and the space next door, throwing a revolving door of businesses and displacing or closing picante at least twice.They're open seemingly at random with no consistent pattern.If you happen to be walking by when it's open, absolutely stop for tacos, but don't rely on them to be open if you have a craving

Closed at 2pm on a Thursday. With a sign that says open on the front. No hours of operation listed either. Disappointing as I was really looking forward to a good burrito.

Picante is a gem. This spot will always remind me of one of the coolest streets in Chicago.

I loved this place when I was living in the area. That was 2012-2013. The freshest and most delicious Latino cuisine you'll find for the dollar. One of the best hidden gems of the city in my opinion. If not the best.
It’s amazing it’s outstanding delicious the customer service is humble and kindness professional I had beef burrito ? was fluffy and tender beef stuffed well . The shop is small but the effort, experience and welcoming are big and I highly recommend itI tried it again and still fabulous this time tacos ? yummy

Loved the burrito, really good chips n salsa, can't wait to try the bagel sandwiches (Sat/Sun only). Go to spot, so good!
Best breakfast burrito I’ve had in Chicago. Super reasonable for the price. Plus Felipe has bagels from NY Bagels and Bialy (da best in Chicago). What’s not to love?
