Picante Grill

Me and my wife ate here about a year ago and the food was great and so was the service I even saw the owner helping taking plates out to the tables but we went again last night and it was horrible...Besides us, there were about 2 other families there so I was thinking the food would be extra good and fast, but it all started when I saw nothing but young guys that look to be in highschool running the place last nite,they getting ready to close a hour early the chips were all smashed and not one whole one was in the bowl my wife ordered a piña colada that tasted like a cream slush with no alcohol the half order of nachos came out and for almost 6 bucks it was 6 individual chips with cheese beans little beef and a jalapeño on top (I guess a $1 each chip) the food was quick but the fajita meat in my enchiladas was dry and the rice was hard and crispy and tortillas were stiff, I don't think I will be back again I hate to say but chachos would of been a better experience on a Friday night and you know how that is!!!!

My husband & I went for our 42nd Wedding Anniversary to Picante Grill because of an article in the Express News about the wonderful enchiladas, which are my favorite!. We went on a Thursday evening. The atmosphere was nice; the waitress was nice!



My first Margarita had NO tequila in it. Since I don't drink much I wasn't sure, so I didn't say anything! I ordered another - watched her make it - she dipped a pitcher in a bucket (to get the mix) and did pour tequila in it this time!

Is the bucket normal? Maybe I shouldn't have looked over there?



My enchiladas were COLD! I don't mean just warm - I mean very cold; like they just came out of a refrigerator. Again, I didn't say anything except to my husband. Since I was the one that suggested we go there; he didn't have much to say.



My husband doesn't especially care for Mexican food anyway; so we left a decent tip, went home, and will not return.

This restaurant is part of the famed 'Mi Tierra' family (which I admit I haven't been to in years due to the long wait times) and its proximity to downtown and great food quality make it a good choice for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
