Worst burrito I ever had and the worst part is that they threw a old salad on the side that looked like it has been in the fridge for weeks , I do not recommend this place for burritos at least

El piquin is a good option for Mexican food for pescatarians they have shrimp and fish options that are both good. I primarily stick to either salmon or shrimp since I don’t eat tilapia. I’ve dined in and gotten takeout and each experience was pleasant. My biggest issue with El piquin (both locations) is the cross contamination! Anytime I have ordered the rice/fajita bowl, or quesadillas there is ALWAYS steak in it. As a pescatarian, this is a huge dissatisfier. Additionally, the menu especially when ordering from Door Dash, etc., does not allow for vegetarian options for multiple menu items including quesadillas, taco salad, or even the bowls.

The last time I ordered here, I ordered steak and they gave me cold chicken. I said to myself, maybe its a bad day for them. Fast forward to today, I get the birria tacos and they literally tasted like garbage. I have many birria tacos in my life from other places and this was definitely the most disgusting. The meat tasted old and some parts were so “charred” they were inedible— the cheese tasted expired, the tortilla was barely holding on. I use to like this place alot but something changed and not in a good way. Thank you for making me realize I’ll never order from here ever again, ew.

Good Mexican food for the area. I go here every now and then when I get a craving for tacos. They offer a good selection of Mexican food and I have always been pleased with my orders.

The food is GREAT!... And if you're looking for a bit of the authentic they got that too. Atmosphere is a bit dark but the food makes up for any issues!

Never had bad food or service here and to be completely honest it is on par with any Mexican food I've ever had. Also if I'm being truly honest there isn't a better restaurant in the entire area. And if I had to put my hand on a Bible and swear to you that if flavor was a medicine their burritos would cure Lupus.

Best in the area. Period.
The food was served quickly and was very generous in portions. It tasted great and the service was superb!
Disaster, food is terrible but price so expensive
Nice spot for some Mexican food...
I rarely provide reviews on dining experiences, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this establishment. The food was subpar, with the chips served with salsa being stale and oily. When I requested fresh chips, the waiter informed me that they had been prepared that morning. We dined in at 2:30 pm, and upon receiving new chips, the difference in quality was noticeable. Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor altogether. I was thoroughly disappointed and chose not to finish my meal. My family members experienced stomach discomfort, which I alleviated with medication. I regret to say that I will not be returning to this establishment.
