Love it! We usually order sopes and tacos de tripa extra crispy, we haven't tried any other dishes but we are satisfied with what we get from el pique.

This place has exceptional Mexican food! Make sure to get the pambazo, the sopes, and the lamb consommé! The fries leave something to be desired so I recommend the rice beans or churro as a side! The tacos are also delicious and we dip everything in the consume. I am drooling typing this! The flan and the horchata are also delicious! If you order in person you can get all different meats for the sope and taco meals (each come with 3) if you haven't been here you are missing out!

Actually 4.5. We went there for takeout. It is a very neat and tiny restaurant. Most people who went there were for takeouts. However, they do have a few tables if you'd like to dine in. We had the tacos and tostadas with various meats. Most meats were very delicious. Relatively, the chicken was less exciting. The two of us spent 20 dollars and we were very full.

Oh my god, was the food so so so good!! The quesabirria was our fav but the sopes were also really yummy! The service was quick and they gave us so many hot sauces even without us asking, which is my ideal way to be served casual sit in vibes, great for a quick bite without having to worry about much.

I found this place because my first choice wasn't open on Mondays. The disappointment I had with that situation was more than made up for by finding this place. I ordered 4 quesabirría tacos with the consommé and rice and beans. I sought this place specifically because it serves quesabirría since I've never had it. Quesabirría tacos - flavorful spiciness, nice amount of cheese compared to meat (lamb) served with the typical street taco fare of cilantro/onion mix, salsa verde (lightly spicy), and salsa roja (medium spicy) Lamb Consomme - this was like an au jous to dip the tacos into; cilantro, onions, chopped lamb, beans, and a few other ingredients. A great flavor that complimented the tacos. Rice - Spanish rice at its finest. It looks like it was made with a little bit of tomato paste, onions and salt. It tasted great, tender and not over cooked or crunchy. I put the salsa verde on it about halfway through. Beans - not crushed, blended or mashed like 99% of other Latin restaurants. The consistency was like a thick bean stew. I missed it with a little rice and the salad roja halfway through. Jarritos - tropical punch, my favorite. This little hole in the wall mom and pop place is just the type of restaurant I like finding and going to. Primarily a pick up and go place, it has 4 tables with a 16 person seating capacity. It has a small cooler with drinks and some chilled items to go and small display case of some Mexican pastries (which I didn't try). I'd go back because it was a good meal and I'd love to try the chorizo burritos and/or quesadilla.

The lamb barbacoa tacos were very good. The tortilla was soft, chewy, and did not have a gritty texture whatsoever. The lamb portion was generous. The protein was just slightly grainy and stuck on the tooth, but certainly not in a way that was unbearable. The horchata was really terrible. It was extremely watered down. It just ended up tasting like milk-water.
