No to a Mexican, my friend.
Picante sauce comes in a bottle and is something like Tabasco or Tapatio and not made from fresh ingredients, liquidy and thin and you can't really use it as a dip.
Salsa is made from fresh veggies and is usually chunky and comes in a jar and yu can scoop it up with tortilla chips. Yum.

In Italian or Spanish, salsa can refer to any type of sauce, but in English it usually refers to the spicy, often tomato-based hot sauces typical of Mexican cuisine, particularly those used as dips.
Picante sauce is a term coined by condiment maker David Pace for his own version of salsa. Picante sauce is usually a little more pureed than bottled salsa, but is chunkier than fresh red salsa. Picante is a Spanish adjective that derives from picar, which means "to sting", referring to the feeling caused by salsas on one's tongue.

Salsa means sauce so in that sense picante is a salsa.
then you have the different types of salsa(look up salsa in wikipedia.
I believe picante is actually a brand name of a type of salsa known as salsa picada(chopped)(some say it ,s name means stinger) but is chopped finer and cooked for bottling.
