Señor Piquin — Restaurant in Springfield

Decided to give this place a shot. I knew they could produce good food based from their older location. Let’s just get into the details.

Right now, they are a new business. So please be patient with them. They are offering a limited menu right now. The food was absolutely spectacular. You have to remember, everything is homemade with nothing commercially processed. It will have a slightly different flavor than let’s just say your big chain Mexican restaurant. The Food was plated beautifully. Everything was so rich And vibrant in color. The tortillas are by far the best in Springfield. They offer Chicharonnes (which had excellent flavor) Instead of traditional chips and salsa. They do have chips and salsa for sale if that’s what your heart desires.

Everything we got was great. The staff was super friendly And it was decently priced. We did not leave feeling hungry. I urge you to give this a shot. Their Agua Frescas are made in house! As well as almost everything else. Again, the quality of ingredients was top-notch. Probably the best in Springfield as far as Mexican restaurants go.

Now here is a couple cons that we experienced: The atmosphere is pretty open So there is a lot of echo in the dining area . There’s not much on the walls or floor for sound deadening. They also have a high vaulted ceiling that also works against them on this. I believe with some decorative sound deadening panels Strategically placed, it could be a lot more enjoyable experience.

They offer Mexican Coke in a glass bottle But I think there are missing a crucial step, not having it as a fountain option. The sweet tea was amazing. Really balanced not overly sweet. They do offer desserts, which looked amazing but we were way too full too partake. Definitely will plan on...

No issues with the atmosphere. It’s a very nice building and very unique.

Service was lacking. We were the only customers yet had to flag them down to ask for refills and it took quite awhile to get service.

Food was ranked 3 stars because of the appetizers. They don’t bring out complimentary chips and salsa. They bring out these weird things that kind of taste like a Funion with no seasoning. They’re served with sauce, which I’m 95% sure was just Tapatio. We ordered chips and salsa. A large (which wasn’t very large) was over $8. The chips were good but the salsa literally just tasted like they poured a can of tomato sauce into a bowl. It had 0 flavor and they don’t give you very much at all. The entrees were really good. One kid had a bean burrito that was delicious, other kid had tacos which he enjoyed, and we had asada tacos, Al pastor tacos, and a Gordita. They were all good. The entrees were served with a mild and hot sauce. Both had good flavor. We ended up using those sauces on the chips because the salsa was literally that bad.

As a side note, we lived in New Mexico for over 5 years. We know what good Mexican food is. There was, unfortunately, nothing special...

First time and loved it! Not a typical Mexican restaurant, in menu & atmosphere. A nice vibe (a step up from a lot of other restaurants in the area). Open spaces for dining. Very clean. They take pride in their authentic Mexican cuisine, and they should. You'll find items that you won't find elsewhere. Staff is helpful & friendly. In lieu of chips & salsa, they provide complimentary basket of chicharrones with a very tasty sauce. I never had chicharrones, they're not my thing. But they're complimentary. Long list of tacos (all served on corn tortillas). I normally go for al pastor but I went with (2) cesina & (2) lengua. Both were very tasty and prepared as authentic Mexican tacos. When ordering, you have to order a minimum of 2, because they're prepared when you order (fresh). I look forward to trying their al pastor in a future visit. If you haven't been here and you love authentic Mexican food (or want to try it), I recommend checking this place out. You...
