Went in for lunch on a Sunday, not too busy. Service was fast and courteous. Ordered the Combo Marino and Tallarin Saltado with some extra Yucca Fries on the side. Loved the sauces and flavors of the food. Absolutely recommend this restaurant

Picante is absolutely, unequivocally the best Peruvian restaurant in the IE. As a Peruvian and foodie myself, I’m super grateful we have a Peruvian restaurant near my home town, Chino Hills! Thank you for the amazing food Picante! Love to see the growth the restaurant has made since being established.

One of the best Peruvian restaurants in Southern California ever. since we entered the restaurant the owner welcomed my family and he make us feel like home. Plus the dishes were delicious. Strongly recommend.

I absolutely love this place! Service is amazing and the food is even better! The staff is friendly and checks in on you consistently. The Tallarin Saltado is 10/10 and they also take phone orders!

Best Lomo a la huancaina I’ve ever tried in Los Angeles. The service was great, it was only one server for all the tables and she nailed it. The food was delicious and the maracuya

Our first time having a Peruvian meal, but it definitely won't be our last. Although the menu is limited, the food is delicious! Such a nice vibe, with flavors that really delivered. The pesto sauce was the best I ever had and the meat was so tender and savory. If you are in the area I would definitely come check them out.

I was introduced to picante by a friend of mine who was visiting. The food and the services was awesome. Definitely coming back!

Stopped here for lunch and when we left my husband and I didn't have one negative thing to say. Everything was amazing the place was very clean and it was quite busy. The service was great, got checked on often and anything we needed was brought to us right away. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the Tallarin Verde Con Lomo, Combo Marino, plantains, both signature drinks, and the lucuma ice cream. Everything was cooked perfect and served quickly. I definitely recommend and we're looking forward to our next visit.
