We had a great time. The food was great. My only suggestion is letting people know it's a buffet style on Mother's Day. We did not know and that was not the impression we got when we made reservations. But overall service and experience was great!

Love this place! We have been twice before but today we came for Mother's Day brunch. Everything was delicious. Nothing tasted stale or mass produced. Great flavors and variety. I appreciate that they had scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, French toast for kids in addition to delicious Mexican food. The margs were great too! Kids were free for the brunch buffet which was awesome. Staff is always friendly, fast, and caring. Hannah was an amazing server. Definitely will be back!

It was great revisiting Pilsen Yards we had stop by a year ago and had the same great experience as before. The service was excellent the atmosphere was superb and the food was delicious.

Pilsen Yards is always a vibe! The patio is amazing offering heated and open air options. They make good on their reservations too! We were greeted almost immediately, and we had drinks and appetizers shortly after. However, I wish I could rave the same way over our main course. We ordered fish tacos this time, and they were subpar at best. I will add a photo of them. It looked and tasted like a toddler put it together using fish sticks. *sighs* I'll just stick with the shrimp ceviche and the enchiladas next time. Overall, the experience was pretty good. It was Cinco De Mayo weekend, so I extend grace.

I went for my birthday and we had a large group and were running a bit late. Staff was so kind and accommodating, helped us out so much! we really appreciated all their efforts. It was a great experience, started the night off right! Thank you so much!

Had such a fun time at Pilsen Yards on a Saturday evening. The ambience is lively and energetic, and the DJ was incredible, playing R&b and other fun hits. I got the carne asada and it was so tasty! I definitely thought about it the next day and would recommend this dish.

Really enjoyed my experience here! The queso fundido, fish taco, and Pepino mocktail were my faves! The flautas were decent but could use more flavor. Get the tres leches if you have room for dessert! Ambience is great especially since they have indoor and outdoor seating so there’s great natural lighting toward the back. They also had a DJ spinning vinyl on Saturday night. Best of all, the server was great and the food came out fast…s/o to Goldie. Excited to go back!Parking: Lots of permit parking in the area but there are some paid parking meter streets.

Sweet corn tamales and burger were decent. One of the best pub burger I’ve had. Taco meat was a bit dry. I haven’t tried but my friends said Chilaquiles was great.

The bartender was upset after we asked why received our martinis in Vegas bombs shot glasses. All we asked was a question and he began yelling at us over the situation. It was a simple question. Guillermo shouldn’t be behind the bar if he’s going to attack customers over a simple question. He then proceeded to speak about our group to the people around the bar creating a uncomfortable atmosphere.

We had a great experience at Pilsen Yards. We started with a few beers and some of their signature cocktails. The mezcal margarita was tops, followed by the drunken Donkey. You should definitely start with the Tamales, we ordered them 3 x's over they were so good. Also the mussels! We had an array of different tacos. The sweet potato taco was best. The burrito and chilies Rellanos were also pretty good. We finished with their take on tres-leches. It was delicious but not a traditional dish.

Burgers are delish. Queso Fundido con chorizo tasted great. Tortillas were bit cold but rest of the food was on point. Server was friendly. Drinks were strong.

Pilsen Yards is always great! Love dining here as the food is great and the ambience is so fun and relaxing. Our hostess Mardie was amazing too ? we were lucky to have checked in a little late and sat down immediately!

Atmosphere is always upbeat... a tad loud for conversations, but fun! Food is always top notch- even for myself who is gluten free & friend who is also gluten free and vegetarian.
