El Pipiripau

From WikiTacos, the taco encyclopedia · Taquería

El Pipiripau is a budget cabrito eatery inside the Mercado Juárez in downtown Monterrey, serving cabrito tacos, cabrito en salsa and fritada.

Overview

El Pipiripau operates inside the Mercado Juárez, the public market in downtown Monterrey. México Desconocido's 2024 guide to cabrito in Monterrey presents it as the budget option, in contrast with the city's larger cabrito restaurants. It reports that diners find one order of cabrito enough for three people and that service can be slow.

Cabrito, young goat roasted or stewed, is Monterrey's best-known dish. El Pipiripau serves it in tacos, in salsa and as fritada, a stew of goat cooked with its blood.

Cabrito is usually eaten as a full plate in restaurants such as El Rey del Cabrito and El Gran Pastor. Market fondas like El Pipiripau offer cheaper portions and tacos, so the dish is within reach of everyday customers.

The guide lists it last of seven cabrito spots, after full-service restaurants such as La Escondida and La Divina.
