LOVED my first trip to Pilsen Yards. From the moment we walked in the door the energy of that place was an amazing. We were there on a Saturday night and they had an amazing DJ. Not sure if that is only on weekends. Service was great, food was excellent. Can't recommend it enough!

Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.
