I randomly googled "great Mexican restaurants near me" and Sal Pique came up. An amazing find. Zinnia and the team were awesome. Great service, good food and drinks. Overall great vibe. 10/10
Love the Mexican options in this area. I went to Sal Pique when it first opened and well I did not review it. I went today the sal pique steak and the ribs were amazing. The salsas were good and the waiter brought some mole as well. Service, decor and drinks were very good. Its a little more $ than most Mexican restaurants, but worth it. Check it out!
not crowded on a Wednesday evening, my family stopped in for an early dinner around 6 pm. They had chips and salsa waiting on the table and we polished off 2 bowls of chips before our food was brought to the table. I had the old fashion and hubby had the Michelada. We had fajitas , enchiladas with mole and blackened salmon. Everything was good.
This spot used to have a different restaurant I used to go often.. they made the decor so fun and vibrant! Food was wonderful, the service was great, all the items I tried was so good I took steak tacos and tres leches cake to go for someone else, and I hear they are amazing as well. I will definitely revisit to try trio salsa, shrimp in different sauce, and churros.
Nice spot, the food was good but definitely a bit pricey. We had a birthday in our group and they surprised us with a sombrero and a complimentary dessert.
Sal Pique was my birthday selection for this year. It was a great meal. I hadn't had fajitas in quite a while but they were delicious and hit the spot. I also ordered some guacamole, since I knew that is something my kiddo would eat without argument. Their guacamole was the best! It was an adequate portion, great ingredients and spiced well. I believe the chips were house made and they too were a step up from most of the chips you'll get at a restaurant. I'd say the only thing that was inadequate was that they only provide three tortillas with the fajitas which isn't enough; it should come with four. Still, I would very much want to visit again sometime. Though the prices are a bit higher than usual, but it's good for a special occasion or an occasional night out. The parking is a trick--it's in Uptown, so you'll either get lucky and find a street space or a space in the small lot that's shared with several other businesses. It looks like there's some sort of below-ground parking, but I'm not sure if that's for business or some of the residents near here.
Roberto and Zinnia, the owners, have done an amazing job in bringing an authentic Mexican restaurant to Park Ridge. From the decor to the food and the service, you feel like you're part of the family and like you're in a little corner of Mexico. I'm a fan of their first restaurant, Ovo Frito, which you should also check out, and what carries through is Roberto and Zinnia's dedication to making sure one has a great dining experience. The food is top notch delicious. My faves and go tos are their signature dish, Sal pique or any of the fajitas or enchiladas. The flautas are a must appetizer. I don't drink much alcohol but they do have a great selection of drinks. The service is always great, knowledgeable and friendly staff who are constantly checking up on you. I recently learned that there are Mariachi or Trio bands playing on certain Fridays so this is definitely a must for special celebrations. Have also seen the staff bring a cake and candle for birthday celebrations, along with of course singing happy bday. Very conveniently located a few steps away from downtown Park Ridge and Park Ridge Metra with a parking lot in the back. Always a pleasure to dine here.
Sal Pique is a traditional Mexican restaurant in Park Ridge, and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Margarita 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 5/5 The inside is very nice with the bar near the back which is where we sat. We were immediately greeted and brought chips and salsa. The salsa and guacamole were spot on. Full of flavor. I asked for some hot sauce for my carne asada and they brought it out and said - it's hot! It was hot but that's ok by me. Fantastic stuff here. Met the owner and she was very nice. If you're looking for traditional Mexican in the burbs, look no further than Sal Pique. 5 stars!!
