EL PIQUE - Newcastle

El Pique - Review - Elsmere - Wilmington - The Infatuation

"You might drive past El Pique and think it’s closed. But go inside and you’ll find one of the best taco shops in Wilmington. They do all kinds of tacos on homemade tortillas with meats like carnitas, tripe, and tongue. The tamales are excellent, generously filled, and moist, but if you only order one thing, make it their consommé: a hearty stew of spicy lamb broth with tons of rice, chickpeas, and chunks of lamb. You could get it with a quesabirria taco, or simply by itself by the cup or quart. If you don’t, the owner will probably stick his head out and offer you some." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lammé
