We have been eating Pilar’s and become friends with Sylvia. She is an incredibly positive and generous person who continuously thinks of others and giving back to the community. We love supporting her local business. Each year, we cater at least one football tailgate with Pilar’s food and every one of our guests love that game! If you haven’t eaten her tamales, papusas, casamiento, or curtido salad, you are missing out. Great vegetarian options as well.

When you need love, food, hope, joy, go here. Sylvia is living her vocation; she is a staple of Ann Arbor; don’t miss out on spending time and eating here.
Tamales and pupusas are meant to be eaten with salsa and curtado; which is always a magical combination of flavors. Horchata is so good I can’t resist drinking the whole thing at once.
Today I tried the jalapeño and cheese tamale - steaming and slathered with salsa and plenty of curtado. It was like a grilled cheese and a tamale had a baby. So good.

This place is an absolute gem in Ann Arbor, featuring incredibly delicious tamales and pupusas! If you've never tried the wonderful cuisine of El Salvador, please do yourself a huge favor and go to this place immediately for a delicious meal.

A little hole in the wall. You wouldn't expect this awesome food in this location. Buried in a little strip mall.
My partner found in on Google Maps. Since we were going to be in Ann Arbor during the day we were trying to find a place for lunch
We both had Tamales. I normally do not care for the traditional beef or chicken Tamales. I had The spicy pulled pork Tamales. Totallyoutof this world. I had two . Enjoyed every bite.

Just tried out Pilar’s and I’m a huge fan!! The tamales are what I came for, I got the spicy pulled pork that came with some homemade salsa, so so good. First time ever trying a Pupusas; corn tortilla with bean and cheese and filled it with their pickled cabbage and of course, salsa; excellent. I’ve never been a big fan of plantains… these little bad boys were incredible.
Food was amazing and the staff are friendly and engaging! 100% coming back!!

An absolute gem!!
The friendly service, the super tasty food and the cozy atmosphere together create a big big win. We are blessed to have Pilar's in our community.
Best tamales around. Great drinks, the hibiscus and watermelon are my favorites, all made from scratch. Plantians were great and so was everything else. Try the fried Yuca, it takes a minute to cook but so worth the wait. Can't wait to go back.
