With a great view of the Uptown skyline from its patio, Picante Mexican Grille is now open on Morehead Street.

Yesterday, CL‘s Web Strategist Desiree Kane stopped in, and this was her first impression: “The place had a Dirty Bird Records mix playing (super sexy San Francisco house music), which is going to go very far with the EDM nerds as well as bankers who like ‘rich’ sounding house music,” she says. “It’s also inexpensive, tasty, and is in just the right location with a great view of the city from the deck.”

The website boasts fresh Mexican inspired burritos, tacos and salads, and says to be kid-friendly. The grand opening is soon to come. Picante Mexican Grille is located at 1500 W. Morehead St., Suite A. Call 704-375-6000 for more information.

  1. Glad to have this place, but, with no affiliation to Chipotle, how are they not sued already? Same concept, same menu, even ripped their logo and interior aesthetic.

  2. I have been to Qdoba, Chipotle and Salsaritas but Picante Mexican Grill is by far the best. Their grilled beef is way better than Chipotle’s.
    The interior aesthetic is very modern and more inviting than any other Mexican Fast Food place.
    Try them and see for yourself.
