Picante Martin's Mexican Restaurant (We're a Ghost Kitchen - Inside of "Smart Kitchens")

Went here before guy at counter just ignored me and after 10 minutes of standing in front of him saying I'd like to order just left. Gringos not welcome

This place is so good. I always get their 2 crunchy shredded beef tacos and they never disappoint. Their Burritos are pretty big, Carne Asada Fries are fire, Quesadillas are tasty, the Chips are always crispy and the Salsa is always fresh. Parking: If there is no parking in the loop out front, there is parking around the back of the building as well!

Delicious authentic food!

This place is such a gem esp when authentic Mexican food is hard to find in Irvine!! I got the Mexican chicken soup and it was a very fresh and broth tasted very clean and meat and veggies were so plentiful! Also got the beef crispy taco which was tasty and not greasy! Can’t wait to go back to try the rest of the menu.

I ordered 3 different family packs from Picante for National Boss’s Day at my job. The service was the best! Last week they called to confirm my order & then texted me the day of, along with when it was ready to be picked up. I know the location could be a bit confusing for some but my navigation took me right to it. I don’t recall the man’s name who helped me, but he was able to help me take the food to my car & was one of the nicest restaurant service I’ve had in awhile. The food was honestly amazing, felt like it was made from the heart. All my coworkers loved the food and complimented how much they loved the food and the freshness of it, which I enjoyed as well. The rice & green salsa are *chefs kiss.* Definitely recommend!

Good food, Good service

I stoped by at lunchtime to pick up a burrito. I read the reviews on Google and knew that it was a kiosk kind of set up. As a baby boomer I figured it out pretty quickly. I ordered the wet Carnitas burrito and I’ll tell you what, it did not disappoint. The meat was tender just the right ratio of rice and beans. The green sauce on top with the cheese just nailed it!!! All the flavors are right on and it comes with a complementary guacamole some really spicy habanero sauce or if you ask. I will definitely be coming back.

Best Mexican food in all of orange county! Food is delicious and authentic and fresh. Portions are good and prices are very reasonable! Martin the owner is super friendly as well. I will definitely be back soon.

really good food! they serve it how and fresh! would order again
