Reviews For El Piquin Mexican Restaurant

I’ve been here 4 times now. The food is always excellent. This is real Mexican food not Tex-Mex. The chili Relleno is excellent. The corn tortillas are handmade each order, meaning that you are getting the freshest tortillas possible. These tortillas are the best corn tortillas I’ve ever had. Dinner for 2 for me has average around 25.00 and is worth every penny. I highly recommend this place.

I did a pickup that was super fast and The staff was so friendly when I came to pick it up. Everything looked fantastic and they even added extra sauce and plastic silverware. The fajitas turned out to be fantastic!!

This place is wonderful to go to for a late night grub. I really loved the amount of different salsas they had for you to use for your food. However, the salsa that came with the chips were ridiculously watered down.. Nevertheless, the food and drinks have made up for it. I had a Torta Cubana and it was a big portion and affordable price! The salsas were nice and spicy and some that were not for those non-spicy lovers. The waitresses were kind and bought the food out quick to us and made sure we had everything we needed.

This place is a great place for seafood. I had a great mix seafood bowl, and it came with a side of rice and some warren bread with butter. It was fantastic.

This is my parents go to spot! They go every Sunday for their hangover cure, the menudo lol I love their tacos al pastor. My mom usually gets the carne asada and my dad gets camarones empanizado. My husband tried the fajita burrito and it was a hit. If you’re looking for true authentic Mexican food THIS IS YOUR SPOT! AND THEY SERVE BEER! We always ask for Ana. She’s takes great care of us

Great authentic Mexican grub. Crispy chips & salsa, shrimp cocktail(shrimp are tender and have a nice clean taste, cocktail sauce compliments the shrimp and veggies amazingly. tacos & gorditas come with the meat of your choice; just full of flavor whatever meat you choose. Gordita is a little crispy on the outside and just comes together with the chicharron or barbacoa. The grilled/ parillada meats which come in a sizzling skillet are their signature plates. The piquin skillet is the most popular which has a mix of their meats. Enjoy when you come

This place has been the best we tried of all Mexican Restaurants in Arlington. The food is authentic!! Homemade flour and corn tortillas! The food has all the flavor it needs. If you want Tex Mex; this is not the place for you! If you can’t handle spice; then this place is not for you! I ordered Guiso de Puerco and it was soo good! The pork was soft and melts in your mouth. We also got Tablitas Beef Ribs and ol’man; it was mouth watering good! Plenty of meat was given; not sheisty! While everything was my favorite— i must say the Real Agua de Pepino y Limon was out of this world!! Definitely coming back! Update: Since my first post, we have came 4 times and every time, this place gets better and better!!!! We have now tried various plates: Chilaquiles, Huevos Rancheros, Pozole, y Menudo. Everything been really good! Las Aguas are the best!!!
