Next time you’re waiting for your food at Picante, take a look around. 👀

Jim has called the art throughout the restaurant “a lifetime of art procurement.” The masks and other pieces he’s collected over the years found their places in the dining room when he redesigned it after the remodel.

You might spot something you’ve walked past a dozen times.

The first thing you do with a tamale is the best part: peel back the husk and see what’s inside.

Picante is open daily from 11 am to 9 pm.

Before your Picante order reaches the table, tortillas are hitting the griddle, chips are coming out of the fryer, and bowls are being finished in the kitchen.

Then, the best part: deciding where to start. 🤤
