Review #6

Picante ("Cocina Mexicana") is not truly a taqueria, they serve brunch for example, and they have other things on the menu.  But they do serve tacos and I've been there a few times, so here is some information in case you find yourself there. 

Location:  Fifth St. and Gilman in Berkeley, California.

Date of last meal:  July 8, 2006

Picante is a figment of Berkeley, part Mexican restaurant, part multi-cultural experience with a side order of "authenticity".
