Picante's happy hour menu lists 12–8pm with $8 margaritas, mojitos, red sangria and Aperol spritz and a $9 mezcalito, but never says which days, so we can't list it as a happy hour.

Off the clock a margarita is $10, a mojito $11 and a mezcalito $11; beers are $6 all day.

Picante Hamilton Heights: Mexican Since 2005, $10 Margaritas

Picante, a Mexican restaurant at 3424 Broadway near City College, lists a 12–8pm happy hour with $8 margaritas, mojitos, red sangria and Aperol spritz and a $9 mezcalito. It never says which days it runs, so we don’t count it as a happy hour.

The verdict: a fair margarita even at full price ($10, or $40 a pitcher), and an $8 one if the happy hour menu is on when you walk in. Don’t plan a trip around a deal with no days attached.
