Great vegan options! - Edit
Pilar’s never disappoints. There are always vegan options on the menu (the tempeh tamale and curtido are my faves), and they usually have seasonal options, depending on what the farmers market has (just call and ask!). The owner is exceptionally friendly and knows what’s vegan (and what vegan means...she’s never suggested I try the cheese tamale!). :) The horchata is vegan, as they use rice milk (I always confirm on this, just in case). Vegan dessert tamales are to be had as well. Seriously, give this little hidden gem a go!

Horchata!!! - Edit
One of few places I still enjoy after nine years in A2. Yuca side is fantastic, I could drink a gallon of the horchata, tamales are nice (and often there’s a seasonal veg option with local produce), beans and rice satisfy my garlic tooth, and the owner is genuinely friendly and remembers you. It’s out of the way for me and hour are somewhat limited, but I go here whenever I can.

Call ahead for vegan tamales - Edit
Vegan tamales are not always available. Call Ahead to make sure they have them. There is one with tempeh, not so good but she prepares another one with some unique green leafs. Try to get that one, is my favorite.

Great food; nice people! - Edit
We've liked all of the vegan tamales we've tried at Pilar's, including eggplant, yam (last Saturday's special -- delicious!), black bean, tempeh and olive, and sweet plantain. The vegetables are often from local farms. The fried yucca root is incredible too -- crispy, hot and tangy. We like the bright atmosphere of the restaurant, but Pilar's also has a regular food cart at the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market on Saturday. The owners are welcoming and knowledgeable about vegan options.
