I have NEVER had a worse experience at a Mexican Restaurant then I did at Taqueria Picante!!! I am a waitress myself so I normally dont write negative reviews for restaurants unless its ABSOLUTELY horrible. For starters we ordered 2 appetizers, the cheese dip was so watery and didn't taste like cheese, the guacamole was so mushy it was texture of baby food. The chips were even bad which I couldn't believe!!! They were so paper thin that you couldn't eat it with any of the dips we ordered because they would all just break!!! Our entrees, my wife ordered a chicken salad and the lettuce was mushy and the chicken had absolutely no flavor at all, tasted like it was soaked in water for hours!! I ordered a ribeye and it was so overcooked and tough and rubbery and was mostly fat that I could not even eat it!!! They over charged us for the salad and the appetizers so we paid almost $30 for my wife to eat a salad that had no flavor!!! Our server NEVER asked if our food was good AND didnt even apologize when I told him it was so bad that I couldn't eat it!! I dont like to say this about any restaurants but people need to know quality of a restaurant, so I would have to so I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend this restaurant to ANYONE!!! *This photo is supposed to be their cheese dip and guacamole!!!* 🤢🤢🤢

Food has been Americanised. The tamales were hard and dry, rice was dry too. And the beans tasted fresh from the can. The workers were nice and friendly through. And the restaurant itself was clean and comfortable. The enchilada was kinda plain but it was pretty good.

Juan took such good care of us! Our second time here and the staff is so attentive and kind. The food is so authentic (just like my Colorado Mexican food at home)!! Fresh, abundant and hot. Great little salsa bar for heating things up 🌶️ Please try this little place! We are here on Labor Day and are sitting outside and it is simply delightful.

I'll tell you what, I will definitely come back for more, the food was insanely good!! The service was awesome.
My absolute FAVORITE Mexican restaurant in the state. The food is always fast and fresh, drinks/beer ice cold, clean atmosphere, and the service is phenomenal. Every single time. (Recommend the mango salsa!!)

Stopped in here for the first time and really enjoyed it! Chips and salsa were brought to our table as we were sitting down, the chips were light and airy so perfect in my opinion. We got drinks quickly and there were lots of options on the menu. Ordered vegetarian fajitas and they were really good, will definitely be back!

Best Mexican spot I've ever found in the Upstate. Try everything from the tamales to the burritos 🌯 ...It's all so flavorful. The service is great too. 10 out of 10 reccommend.
