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)

Great place to stop while traveling with kids! Very affordable tacos and delicious tortas!Vegetarian options: My daughter loves mushrooms and devoured the mushroom tortilla!Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating to our kids and offered to make a quesadilla when my son mentioned that the hot dog was a bit spicy.

Fun, quick service taco spot with super flavorful tacos made with homemade corn tortillas. You can taste the love in every bite. Very friendly people working there. There are about 15 stools on the counter plus 5 or 6 tables and a nice salsa bar. Some of the best tacos I've had in a while. They have a 3 taco special for $11 which was plenty for lunch.

Decent tacos. Poorly made rajas that lacked the flat-top fried cheese in the pictures. Good variety of salsas, but they were overly acidic. Nothing really memorable.

Someone told me to try Tacos Pipeye out because they really liked them and I thought they were great. Four tacos for $10 was a great deal and they had a large variety of meats to choose from. I got a pastor, chorizo con papas, carnitas and asada. I liked them all!
