El Pipila - Reviews

I discovered this restaurant a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving it. It's a family owned and operated establishment, and they truly make a good taco. My personal favorite so far is the carne asada, but I also enjoy the al pastor. I recommend stopping by for a quick bite. They offer counter seating inside and a few tables on the sidewalk, conveniently located next to Pete's Coffee on Brannan.

I finally took the time to stop by to try the food and was very excited, but boy was I let down. I ordered chicken enchiladas and the sauce was cold, the beans were cold, and the rice was cold. The guacamole was OK but slightly old. I was very disappointed because I don't like cold Mexican food. I was super bummed! Edited for spelling 5. 28. 25

My experience at this cozy, authentic, woman-owned restaurant was delightful. They feature South American fare and it's a great spot for lunch as they close early. The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service also received a perfect 5. The food was equally impressive, earning a 5. For those with dietary needs, there are some gluten-free options available, and vegetarians will find veggie tacos and several veggie sides. The vegetarian offerings are clearly labeled, making it easy to choose. The price per person is between $10–20.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's one of the few Mexican places where the food is nicely flavored and not overly salted. The tortillas were absolutely fantastic and handmade. You can truly taste the flavors and not just salt!

My experience at this restaurant was positive overall. I ordered a veggie burrito, which was quite good. However, the chips were a little too crunchy for my personal taste. The atmosphere and service were excellent, both receiving a perfect score of 5. The food also scored a 5. I had this for lunch.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. I had burritos and tacos, which were just okay. However, the sauces were great. The restaurant has limited street parking and no restrooms.

My experience at this restaurant was mixed. The food was decent, but my recent online order through their website led to significant issues. After approving the total on my card, the store added an unauthorized service fee and tip. This lack of transparency and control over my payment is unacceptable, and I will not be returning.

This is a surprise little place, listed in the La Cocina cookbook. The sopes were wonderful, though they weren't on the menu, they were available if you asked! I highly recommend this restaurant for its beautiful family cooking and beautiful food.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I ordered the carnitas burrito with everything, and I also added guac and cheese. This burrito was ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY DELICIOUS. To drink, I had the cantaloupe agua fresca, which was not too sweet and very enjoyable.

My experience at this restaurant was magical, thanks to their fresh tortilla tacos. Everything tasted super fresh. The vibe was also nice. I loved it! (Don't let the Detroit pizza next door distract you!)
