My food was soggy and not tasty. The service was quick, while my beverage options were limited since I did not have a bottle opener to drink the intended beverage when getting back to work. The atmosphere seemed chill, while there was no other patrons inside when I walked i.

After a helluva day at sea, sir (Overboard reference. If you get it, bravo! But this has always been something my family and I say when we've had a particularly trying day), my mother wanted to stop and have some dinner. She wanted Italian, but her fav place in the Carroll Island shopping center was closed for vacation, so we went next door to get Mexican. Shhh... don't tell her but I wanted to go here all along, but I know that her only experience with "Mexican" food is Taco Bell and how she thought (yes, in the past tense) that she didn't like Mexican food. Yay for changing minds!! As we sat in the restaurant, many people came in claiming that they had come to the shopping center to get Italian, but had ended up at El Piquin and I celebrate this. I hope this place wins over tons of customers and sticks around for a while because THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!!!You should also probably know they have an alcohol permit and have beer and margaritas. We didn't order any because we didn't want to make my mom uncomfortable, considering the boyfriend was driving and we had gotten a flat tire the day before so we were driving around on a donut and she was already kinda nervous about that... but the music is bumping, the food is perfect and I bet a margarita or two after the sun goes down would be just the thing... hashtag futuregoals...Anyway... Chips and salsa come to your table gratis. Delicious. Everything you want. My mom and I both got carnitas street tacos and WOWZERS. The meat is perfectly seasoned and diced. The tacos come with a half grilled jalapeno (I took my mom's cuz they were spicy and I think she would have never recovered - hee), a grilled spring onion, limes, raw radish and cucumber - your choice of flour or corn tortillas. If you need cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo, it's gonna cost you extra - but you've been trained that sour cream costs more. The boyfriend had Bistec Encebollado ($15.50) - Steak & sauteed onions, served with rice, re-fried black beans, cheese & 2 fried eggs. Served with our house salad & 4 corn tortillas. He was pretty thrilled with it, but the chicken wings (appetizer) didn't hit quite right. He doesn't know why. He said it wasn't the sauce.The Boyfriend and I will definitely be ordering from here again. But I think the real victory was that my 70-year-old mother ate just as much of her meal as I did. SHE TOTALLY LOVED IT!!! I count that as a win.

This is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants in middle River and rivals Fiesta Mexicana (G.O.A.T in Baltimore county) everything is so fresh. The menu has great variety. They serve alcohol too so you can really hang out here with some friends for some adult bevs.

Hi!! My husband and I came to this restaurant on Saturday, 4-23, for lunch. The food was fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. We've gotten delivery service from here once, but those fees are outrageous and we wanted to support "local". Today we realized my husband could not find his credit card. After tearing the house apart and checking online, this restaurant was his last purchase. We've just returned and they had his card all locked up in the cash register. She asked to see his ID too. We already had planned to patronize this establishment, but now more than ever. Thanks so much, we'll be back soon!!!

Well this place used to be Chili Peppers Mexican restaurant and chili peppers was a 5 star when it came to food and taste. We would go there all the time for the last few years. Ok now owners and menu, Food: taste is missing, was over cooked and not seasoned. We ordered carne asada, molotes, & calamari. The carne "flank stake" was cooked way over and was tasteless other then the burn marks. Molotes filled with chorizo had very little flavor "come on chorizo is one of the most flavorful sausages how do you do that"The mexican calamari no taste need a lot of salt "it was actually cooked correctly" but if it wasn't for the dipping mixture it been a full on fail. Prices. They are a little higher then the previous owners Menu has less to offer then before but has some different things also. Service was ok no complaints So over all they need a new cook and some seasoning and they have some thing that be ok to go to. Me and my wife probably won't go back.

The food I will give a rate a 6 but the customer service is not that pleasant I think they can do better based on how the restaurant looks and it should look into that because customer service is everything for a restaurant. also something that grab my attention was that the tip was included on my balance based on my understanding Tip is added to a balance and it's over $100 and my balance was not over $100 I also don't agree with that.

Ordinarily the food and service here is not questionable. However, we placed an order online and were missing items. I called the store to find out if they made the food item and it didn't make it to the bag or if something else occurred. The female who answered the phone told me that she would be going to look and NEVER CAME BACK TO THE PHONE. My boyfriend went down to the store and said he saw that they just placed the phone on the counter in hopes that I would just hang up. Who does that type of stuff? 18 minutes. I made sure to stay on the phone until til he got there. I won't ever order from these raggedy MFs again. To think we ordered almost $150 worth of food and you couldn't even help with food that was missing? Terrible customer service. Absolutely terrible.
