" The best advice I can give is to try the shrimp tacos at Picantes. They are phenomenal! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for family dining. The service staff are attentive and genuinely friendly. I've become a regular here and every visit has been wonderful. The only downside is the size of the restaurant; I sometimes feel cramped, but it’s totally worth it for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food! I've tried almost everything on the menu and have not been disappointed. The carne asada tacos are superb, and they make a mean pollo asado! I appreciate that the owners take pride in their operation, and it reflects in the quality of the food. My only complaint is that it gets quite busy, so reservations are recommended during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating at Picantes, but I walked away feeling underwhelmed. The food lacked seasoning and the portions seemed smaller compared to what I remembered. On top of that, service was slow even though the restaurant wasn’t full. I really wanted to love this place again but so many things felt off. I'll think twice before returning, and definitely wasn’t as authentic as I hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" Picantes has consistently delivered great food over the years. As a frequent visitor, I always order the same things—breakfast burritos and their renowned menudo. The flavors never disappoint, and the freshness of the ingredients is always evident. However, I must admit I faced a little hiccup during my last visit as my order was mixed up, and I received someone else’s meal. The staff handled it well and corrected the mistake quickly. Aside from that, the ambiance of the place gives off a warm and family-friendly vibe. This is a must-try location when in Lubbock! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience at Picantes was quite disappointing. I ordered the carne asada tacos, expecting a burst of flavors, but it was quite bland. To make matters worse, the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in our table. I had to flag down someone just to get our drinks refilled. The best part was probably the ambiance; it had a nice cozy feel, but I was hoping for better food and service. I might give it another chance, but only if I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't tell you how amazing Picantes is! The breakfast is served all day, which is a blessing. Their breakfast burrito is not only huge but filled to the brim with freshness! The service is always exceptional; I feel like I'm part of the family. Although occupying a small space, the restaurant's ambiance is cheery and warm, making you feel at home. I always leave satisfied. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Picantes is a small gem in Lubbock. The minute you walk in, the sweet scent of Mexican spices welcomes you. I ordered the tacos and they were mouth-watering. Each taco is generously filled and bursting with flavors. The service made the experience even better; our waiter was friendly and attentive. I did have to wait a while for my food, but the taste made it worthwhile. I'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)
