Just like I remember back in 96/97. After possibly close to 20+ years of not tasting this delicious seasoning, today I got my fix! Tacos de Barbacoa Fire!! 🔥The lengua, Fire!!🔥 If you haven’t tried them yet, don’t wait much longer! Much love to the folks at Pipirin! See you guys again soon!

It’s appears to be a permanent food truck with a covered area with some benches. I only got two tacos so I’ll need to go again to try their other offerings. Tacos were solid, and folks were friendly. BTW, when did tacos get to be $4/each?

Officially lost my family & I as a customers. Sent my brother to put up some food. Ordered the LG (1lbs) barbacoa, price listed was $35 and two (LG) consumes with out meat $6 each. Which should have total $47. I was up charge $6 additional dollars totalling $53. This place has never charged tax nor fees and at wont point was cash only, they now take Zelle. They write down orders on sticky notes and do the math themselves. Prices used to be reasonable but the prices have gone up tremendously and very often. I use to dine here at least once a week and now is once in a while, to never again. There were times I order the same thing and paid different prices... I am so done with that BS and have to call them out! I put up with a lot with this place because the food was good, even when the owner

I come here for the barbacoa every chance I get. I’m from Mexico and this is one of the very very few places in the whole a Bay Area that truly taste like food back home.
