The kind of restaurant where you can taste the love in the food. Instantly became a favorite, even exceeded our own expectations. Incredibly delicious, very healthy, and so satisfyingly filling. And the cherry on top of the tamale is the owner who was so sweet and personable. I really appreciate the menu showing what is gluten free, and I wish all restaurants did this! If you want one of the best of Ann Arbor’s authentic restaurants, you MUST try Pilar’s!
Delicate texture, beautifully made. Wish there was more spice/seasoning, but I do like it strong.
Pretty interesting! They had some vegan tamales, the black bean one was to die for! Really enjoyed the Fried Yuca root too. The rest of our food was pretty alright, but definitely going back for those two!
Delicious, friendly and had great vegan options. I had this on my list to try for a while and glad I finally made a visit. I placed my order when I got there and didn't have to wait very long. The salad and sauce provided a great compliment to filling tamales. I will be back!
Simple but superb tamales and pupusas. Very delicate masa, beautifully seasoned with savory spices in the sauce but not too much heat for the people who are worried about that. We tried a variety of flavors and enjoyed them all.
This place is amazing! They make everything from scratch and have vegan and vegetarian options! Their watermelon drink is the best I've ever had! They have a little shop and their vibe is incredible!
I love tamales, who doesn't love tamales?! After 2 years of driving by and thinking "Tamales!!!" I finally decided to stop in on a whim with my son. It was like going home. The food was fresh and delightful, there are vegan options as well. In addition to food that feeds your soul you will also find jewelry, pottery, place mats, and other beautifully made items for your home. The woman helping us was warm, kind, and thoughtful. It's a wonderful place I hope to visit often.
Perfectly encapsulates what great food should be. Every dish is superb and made with great care, ingredients are fresh and top notch, and the staff are genuinely kind and loving people. Every item on the menu will treat you well, but make sure to always get plantains because they put every other plantain in Michigan to shame.
