Rosee: The folks at Pilar's are SOOO helpful and the food is delicious! I have some unusual food allergies and they were so patient and accommodating. It's such a treat to be able to eat out without worrying. We had a variety of the tamales and pupusas and cannot recommend them enough!Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegetarian options!Dietary restrictions: They were super accommodating!!

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.

Mark Thatcher: Food was great. Dominos on the table are a nice touch, especially for those with young kids. The way they locate customers when bringing out an order could be improved, walking around saying someone's name to find them just isn't very effective in a loud environment and the old building has some great acoustics. A kind of rude college student held a spot in the line in front of us for their friends who jumped in the line after we'd already been waiting for a long time (with two hungry 5 year olds) and then proceeded to all order separately. Common decency is gone but that isn't the restaurants fault. We will go back. Next time we will try lunch in hopes it wont be as busy.

Chinthaka Weerappuli: Absolutely love this place. The food, in particular the black bean frita, is absolutely fire. Also the staff, especially Natalie, are all so wonderful. Highly recommend!Food: 5/5 …More

Kelsey M: This place always has a line out the door, and honestly I don’t know why. The burgers are decent, but it seems to me like people make them into a bigger deal than what they are. I like the coconut cream batido. I can’t say the food is bad here but I don’t think it’s the best I’ve ever had.Food: 4/5|Service: 4/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Jennifer Miller: I got the Vegetarian Lunch Special assuming it would be a great deal, however I was instantly disappointed as there was no entree and just rice with 2 sides. Had there been a description online about no entree, I would have not been as disappointed. The food was good, but not worth the price. I also did not receive a full portion of rice which made it more of a rip off. I always wanted to go here, so writing this review makes me sad, but please beware that the quantity of food does not meet the price they are asking.

Bryan Laur: Food was pretty good but seems expensive for what it is. The real issue is that it's take-out only. They have seating but they don't allow dine-in because I guess they can't be bothered.Kinda lame.

Laura Diallo: No dine in, but surrounding outside areas have benches and lawn. Central location on U of M main campus. Food is exceptional!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

AJ Kheyr: Probably one of the best restaurants in Ann Arbor, it’s super authentic and some extremely delicious food. The chef is by far an extraordinary cook and works like a machine. He says it’s easy with a smile. Good vibes and good high quality eats are found at the Jerk Pit - any time.

Not Your business: Amazing food and the people here are the best. My husband and I have to eat here every time we visit Ann Arbor which is roughly 3-4 times a month. I love spicy but him not so much so mild is perfect for him and hot for me.

Sean Sullivan: Great place! Jerk chicken sandwich is amazing!

Chad Watt: Unfortunately we weren't able to experience this place. We had drove from Toledo to Ann Arbor just to find out there was no dine-in eating available, takeout only would had been okay if it was a nice spring or summer day but not when you drive an hour to enjoy a meal at a restaurant on a cold winter day. With nowhere to go take your food and eat it at. So we were disappointed and left, I'm sure not having your dining room open probably has many customers walking away and the Jamaican jerk pit is losing business.

Eskira Kahsay: Great little spot in Ann Arbor for good food. Highly recommend the Jerk Pork and Jerk Chicken Pasta dishes (medium spice) as well as the plantains. You can’t go wrong.Recommended dishes Fried Plantains …More
