“I am giving this place 5 stars for the EXCELLENT SERVICE - the server was awesome and so helpful and accommodating. We had a great experience here. My husband loved his entree- pork shank recommended by the server. HUGE and delicious with homemade tortillas - YUM. Everything was fresh and delicious for him. Fantastic Margarita - my favorite item here along with the salsas from the salsa bar. So my only wish is that there were more vegetarian options. The rice has chicken broth :( so I couldn't do my favorite rice and beans combo. That being said, they did have a nice veggie beans option. I would go back again for the great service, yummy margaritas and salsas either way.“

“These tacos were suuuuuuperrrr goood! We were cruising around and stopped here to eat and hit the cages. It's in a super lowkey spot & easy to miss as I almost missed it as we were riding by in our bikes. We got the 3 taco deal & they were all super good! I usually don't like anything raw but somehow these tacos changed my mind. Definitely would come back, service was okay as the cash register took a while to take our order since she was talking to people in there but in this case all the good beat the bad“

“We really enjoyed our meal here. We went for lunch on a Friday, around 1p. There was no wait, and plenty of available seats. Service was quick and friendly. I had a Rajas con Queso and a Lengua taco. Partner ordered an Alambre plate. 3 tacos and a beer was just right for each of us. Lots of filling and good solid tortillas to hold everything.Parking:There are several parking spots directly in front, if your timing is right. No parking lot. We got lucky. Hopefully you will too!Seating:There are a few small tables and open counter seating inside, as well as some outdoor window stools where you sit out on the sidewalk and look in.Dogs:We usually bring our dog out with us, but didn't this time because we weren't sure of the seating arrangement. Outdoor seating could work for a well behaved dog, or (like ours), in a stroller. Keep in mind the outdoor stools are shared with a sidewalk, and Milpas is a very busy street.Side note: Me being curious about the name, I found this on the local website Siteline: "Pipeye’s motto (“Diga no a la pirateria!!”), written alongside the name, translates to “Say no to piracy,” which I assume reflects irritation with imitators." Followed by: "The Pipeye slogan is a cheeky homage to a popular anti-piracy phrase used in the 80’s and 90’s in film and music."(peep-eh’-ye)“

“We ordered the mushroom tacos (vegetarian option), chicken tacos and an horchata. They double up on the tortillas for their tacos so by ordering two I ended up with 4! They were really really good and flavorful, the mushroom tacos are substantial and the cheese layer on top was really good and slightly crispy. The chicken tacos are also loaded and flavorful, they reminded me of chicken enchiladas, my toddler loved them so they're kid approved! (& not spicy). Their horchata was amazingly good, not too sweet and not at all grainy. Definitely coming back on my next SB trip. **tip** their parking lot is pretty small, so I would park across the street and walk, SB is a walkable town after all!“

Tacos

“Satisfied my tacos and flan craving! Cashier said our order would take 10 minutes but we got it less than that considering they had phone orders. Chicharron was not fried and pastor was on the drier side. Looking forward to trying other meats though!It's located in a small lot but there's tons of street parking on San Andres St. There were also two tables with two chairs if eating here is something you'd like to do.“
