Picante Taqueria in Medford opened very recently, it's a sibling of East Somerville’s Taco Loco.
Medford's infernal new parking meters has migrated all the way out here, so no more visits to this place. The outside was very nice, and they even have a few tables outside.
The inside is really modern and inviting with charming woodwork. The kitchen is around the corner, and you order, pay and get your food in one go.
There is a small dining room off to the side, and I grabbed a hightop in here. The chair seemed more comfortable than the benches. They could do with some cushions on the seats.
I ordered one Carnitas Taco ($2.99) and one Tounge Taco ($3.25) and a side of Refried Beans ($2.25). Taco's come with finely minced onion, guacamole sauce and cilantro. The tongue was cooked really well but needed seasoning. Adding some hot sauce helped. The carnitas, on the other hand, was delicious and really well seasoned. The refried beans were just OK, I like a bit more texture in my beans. Considering that for a few bucks more, you get two really interesting tacos with rice and outstanding beans at El Rincon de Moody's and free parking, there is really no choice.
