It's Taco Tuesday! Muy Picante!

Charlotte, NC

Due to some technical issues with my internet router, yesterday's post was delayed a day.  This means today is Taco Tuesday!  We begin our adventure in a small Mexican grill called Picante.  

Picante is a Mexican grill much like the fast food Mexican burrito slash taco joints.  All the ingredients are fresh and everything is made to order; just pick your tortilla, choice of protein, and fresh toppings.  They have your normal chicken, beef, and pork options, but what sets this place apart from other fast food burrito restaurants is the fact that they offer fish, brown rice, and spinach tortillas.

What can make this even better?  They have specials throughout the week!  On Tuesdays, burritos and bowls are $5 and Thursdays are Thirsty Thursdays.  This means you get a free fountain drink with your meal! On random evenings, you may be lucky enough to get $2 tacos!  Trumpy and I were lucky enough to make it on a $2 taco night.

We ordered an assortment of chicken, steak, and fish tacos.  All veggies and sour cream are included, but guacamole is extra unless you get a vegetarian dish.  We were even brave enough to try their hot salsa.  We really enjoyed our meals.  Service was fast and friendly and our bellies are full of delicious tacos.

Check out these tacos!  Aren't they huge?  You definitely won't go home hungry.  I'm really a fan of these fast Mexican food style restaurants.  I'm glad to find a locally owned one that is reasonably priced with great service and food.  

Overall, How Nuts Are We about Picante?

Food: 4 coconuts. Good but not exactly original. 
Service: 5 coconuts.  You can't beat fast food service.
Repeatability: 3 coconuts because the menu is small.  5 if you really like Mexican food.
