Picante Mexican Grill is recognized locally for serving a great burrito as well as a great brunch menu. The restaurant has two locations: one in Central Square, Cambridge, and the other in Davis Square, Somerville. We're picky about authenticity and quality our food is always delivered to you fresh with the robust flavors of Mexico and California. Picante's has been cooking health conscious cuisine for years (no lard). Rather than add unnecessary oil, sugar and salt, we flavor our recipes and fresh fat free salsas with authentic Mexican spices and herbs. Along with our marinated, grilled chicken and steak items, our menu also contains lots of vegetarian choices and great tamales. Please call, we'll be glad to explain anything on our menus.
