“ My family has been coming to El Pirrin for decades. The food never disappoints, great service, and most importantly, the portions are the best. The foods anyways fresh and such a clean restaurant! I highly recommend this place and it won't disappoint! ”
“ I come here just for the chilaquiles for me they're delicious but for my experience everything I have order is good the service is nice and they have great ambiance too. ”
“ All right. I've lived in San Jose for decades. I've had tons of Mexican food - burritos specifically. Many many burritos are good (Eduardo's, Super Taq, etc) and I had one of their burritos at random honestly. It is the most delicious burrito I've ever had in my life. I got the carnitas burrito. The meat is just a tiny bit crispy (my favorite) and just had a flavor I've never had before. The place is delicious. Super nice. Always busy. We have returned several times. Always the best. ”
“ I had a major craving for pozole this morning and my friend recommended this place and let me tell you I was not disappointed. Took our order right away very nice and friendly staff. Parking is scarce there's not a lot of it. the restaurant has a large outside dining area and like 6 tables inside. the pozole had lots of flavor with all the topping you will ever need I put the chili oil stuff on top soooo good but be careful if you don't like spicy it definitely has a kick to it. Overall I now know my go to place for pozole! ”
“ Nice little mom & pop restaurant in the heart of E San Jose. It was a house, converted into a restaurant, right on the corner on San Antonio Street (near Guadalupe church) they have great patio seating too. You can get a bucket of beers (5) for your table. Food was good. I got the flautas de Carne and came topped with guac. This was a la carte. Also got the cold nopales. They had a nice kick as diced jalapeños were in the salad too. Staff was friendly, which is always a plus! The only downer is that the parking lot is small. 8 recommended getting there early. Also, side note is that a lot of the neighborhood residents double park in the street. ”
“ Came from out of town, looked it up online and I'm so glad we did!! Inside is pretty small but they have a decent amount of seating outdoors as well. The service was great, I think this place is fully ran by woman because I did not see one man working in there, even the cook was a woman. We came here twice and each time we had something different. My friend said the menudo was bomb, I had the huevos rancheros and my husband had the chilaquiles and the machaca and I tried all three and everything was just amazingly delicious. I highly HIGHLY recommend this place. Don't get put off by this little hole in the wall, it's a must try ”
“ The ambiance is really great, your typical Mexican restaurant, with bright colors and lots of people. The food is amazing, authentic taste. I had the Chile verde and I must say it's one of the best I have had. The portions are big, enough for two with one plate. Service is quick and great, sometimes there is wait but totally worth it. ”
“ Ever since I've discovered the chicharron tacos here, life has been great :) Definitely a must try when visiting El Pirrin. They give so much meat packed in tacos, crunchy chicharron. Their al pastor tacos is also one of my fav packed with lots of flavors and juicy. To go order comes with chips and salsa. They have a small parking lot on the side of the restaurant. If you pay with cash, you can save the service fee. ”
