Most of the people who come to Pipis tend to think of it as their own "find" -- it's just enough off the beaten track to give a taste of a Vallarta neighborhood, and the ambience is an authentic glimpse at the Mexican belief that life is meant to enjoy. If you're looking for a casually good time, this is your place. Within moments of sitting down, your waiter will prepare homemade guacamole at your table and serve it with chips. The specialty here is sizzling fajitas -- chicken, beef, or seafood, generous in portion, and absolutely delicious. Equally famous are the oversize margaritas, but be warned -- these are serious drinks! That may account for the fact that the place is always a riot of laughter and conversation, mixed with the music of strolling mariachis. The gracious owners are always on hand, and the waitstaff seems dedicated to making certain you're happy and well fed. Pipis also has a full menu of other traditional Mexican dishes, but I've never moved beyond the fajitas -- they're just too good.
