Jeffrey Duart-Digon: Terrible

Pamela AA: Tamales are great! Recommend the spicy pulled pork and mole with chicken.Staff is really nice but it was a little confusing to me how to order the first time.There is no access to the place, just take out through telephoneVegetarian options: Jalapeño+cheese and bean tamales available, also vegan options without cheese

Jacqueline Isaac: Delicious tamales! I also really enjoyed the slaw and salsa served with them. Several flavors to try from and the woman working there was so nice. The storefront was closed when we went - you had to call ahead to place an order and they brought it out to you. I would go back to try more flavors.

Brig Cobb: The food is 5 star but deduct the fact that they descriminate people based on vaccination is utterly insane. The amount of stupidity I’ve seen from some in Ann Arbor is beyond rediculous. They turned down business, and would not let me dine in, because I’m not vaxed, this is 3 years after covid started. The vaccine does nothing to stop the spread my sister works with all multiple vaxed people they’ve all been spreading covid and have had it 3 times.while the only unvaxed person working there, my sister has had only one mild case of covid one time. Food is great but can’t support a business that discriminates and I would inciurage all other unvaxed not to support a business like this.

Michele Morgenstern: Best food ever. So fresh. Highly experienced Salvadorian food. Healthy food. Made with love.

Paul Roark: Best food I've had in Ann Arbor!

Michal Helman: Best El Salvadorian food I have ever had! 3Super delicious vegan and vegetarian options, can’t really go wrong with anything on the menu.

Tracy Schmidt: Delicate texture, beautifully made. Wish there was more spice/seasoning, but I do like it strong.

Cindee Smith: I would not recommend this place. This is the most high priced Mexican food I have ever seen in my life lol coming from a restaurant that looks like a shack. Extremely ridiculous.

talljono: Delicious tamales bring the flavor of Ensenada to Ann Arbor! 5/5 if it were not for the ridgid covid policy in place.

paul k: The food is excellent and the owner is really nice

Zach Brooks: 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!

Crystal Thrall: Pilar's has the best tamales in town! The prices are reasonable and the customer service is excellent.

Autumn Sellers: A bit pricy, but the hamburgers were great. Service was a little slow.Recommended dishes Slider …More

Christina Salowich: Food was fine, not worth the high price. We were seated upstairs which seemed like the least pleasurable dining experience out of all spots in the restaurant. Patio looked cool, but wouldn’t go again.

June Billie: Only stopped for a glass of Sangria but it was certainly one of the best I've had!! Lovely atmosphere!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Tobias Ulmer: We have been here the second time, last time October 2022. We ordered the Paella Americana again which was excellent the last time, big portion and enough meat for 52$. Unfortunately this time the portion was very small, same price and only a few tiny pieces of meat. I think we will not come again. Sad because there is potential…

Andrii Medvediev: If you come here based on TripAdvisor reviews, know that it's not as great as portrayed. I would rate this place 4 out of 5. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, and I was surprised to find so little cocktail and so much ice in such an "expensive" restaurant. Food here is good, but not what I expected. I won't trust TripAdvisor anymore. It's an okay place, but nothing more than that.

Danielle Greve: Great food and service!

Shivani Saxena: It was my cousin sister's and my (shared) birthday. Priya, my cousin had booked this place. Coming from India, we were a bit apprehensive about the new dishes. However, the food was amazing. We had vegetarian Paella, which is a large, smoked rice dish with vegetables. The rice has to be scraped from a piping hot pan. This is the main course, preceded by tapas. So, we had Patatas Bravas (potatoes in an amazing sauce), bread with tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, goat cheese with pineapple, and a cheese platter with jams and olives.The Spanish cuisine is quite like Indian food. It is intricate, with a lively burst of spices and flavours.The service was friendly and swift.Highly recommended.

Sara Petry: My favorite of them all...like a pineapple crustini...pictured next to another triangular tomato/garlic crustini."Almendras Y PinaMarcona almonds, goat cheese, caramelized pineapple, thyme, olive oil"

Adam Stevenson: Even in a post-COVID pricing world, it was way too expensive for what it was. $70 for some rice and shrimp in a paella that I would prefer from a chain like Bahama Breeze. I'm fine paying premium for good food, this wasn't quite it.The fried potatoes were great though.

Aingeal Jones: Very cute Tapas restaurant with excellent service. We ordered 5 plates, as they recommended 4-6 for two people, but found the portion sizes to be very generous and brought leftovers home with.

Rosey Stuurmans: Incredible on all levels! I loved the sangria, the smoked tuna tapa and the churros! Incredible experience and very nice staff! I came back a second time for happy hour at the bar (3-6 weekdays).

Fred Hernandez: It was okay! The menu was way overpriced, and the service was chaotic. Did they raise prices for graduation like the hotels? Regardless, the food was not in the category that it was priced at (about $80 per person).Food: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Charcuterie, Patatas Bravas, Churros …More

Carter Starr (Carter Starr): 3.5 stars if I could. I’ve been here twice- first time was very enjoyable. Service was attentive and fast, and food was excellent- some of the best I’ve had in Ann Arbor. This was pre-covid. The last time I went, it seems to have gone downhill. Paella was burnt which was disappointing, and our server was not attentive at all- she seemed to be very attentive to the older couple sitting next to us, but would ignore us when we were right next to her (possibly because we were students and students don’t typically tip well lol). Not saying I wouldn’t return, but this second time left a bad taste in my mouth.

claire craig: Amazing Tapas, Sangria, service and ambiance. A must go to restaurant when in Ann Arbor.Dietary restrictions: Server was very knowledgeable about menu and helped my Mom with dietary restrictions.

Daniel Zheng: A perfect date night spot.Aventura proudly states that their paellas are authentic to the techniques and flavors of Valencia, the region from which paella originates. I don't know enough to say either way, but what I can say was that our paella was both delicious and sizable in quantity.The real highlight of the evening, though, was one of our tapas selections: the Almendras & Pina, consisting of caramelized pineapple and goat cheese on a baguette. Remarkable.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian paella option available

Christopher Price: Great food and good service. The red sangria is delicious. It’s great local tapas. I don’t think it can compare with proper Spanish tapas in Spain but it works in a pinch. I wouldn’t go back if I’m in the area because the value isn’t there for me but I’d recommend to anyone at least once. You won’t go wrong if you eat here but do be prepared to spend some money.
