New taqueria in Union Square with satisfying Mexican dishes. With so many Mexican spots in East Somerville, I initially perceived Picante as just another taqueria offering standard burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. I recently dropped by this place while walking my dog, and found the place empty during peak dinner hours. To my pleasant surprise, Picante offered special dishes like Carne Asada and Pollo Asado - both my go-to dishes at authentic Mexican restaurants. Since the restaurant looked like a standard counter-serve kitchen, I was surprised when they brought a huge slap of meat from downstairs and put it on the grill. It took quite a bit to get them prepared, but the wait was worth it. The chicken from Pollo Asado was exceptionally tender, complemented by a medley of fresh vegetable toppings. With the occasional coarse grain of salt, each bite was further enhanced by a delightful burst of salty umami. The Carne Asada, although slightly overcooked, remained a savory and enjoyable dish. With its subtle surprises and quality Mexican specialty plates, Picante is a place I would probably frequent more. The experience with their standard burritos and tacos may be a bit different, but these dishes are certainly worth trying.

Overpriced, not very good. The price for my burrito was significantly more than the listed price. That's when I discovered that they apparently charge extra for such extravagances as corn and cheese on your burrito (there was a tiny transparent sign which no one will notice as they place your burrito in front of the toppings and let you state your preferences just like every other sub and burrito shop does without add on costs). So while eating my $13 generic tasting burrito with the bonus of old stale rice it occured to me to make this review.
