El Berrinches Restaurant — mexican in Pilsen. Order the taco on the menu so far. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Melody Holloway: "The carnitas were so tender and juicy" [$$]

Comí unas enchiladas suizas que me llevaron a la cocina de mi mamá. El personal muy amable y excelente decoración.

I was very impressed with my uber eats order last night. Ajo Alaska Salmón con aciete del árbol e ensalada de espinacas también Guacamole Tradicional con tortillas muy bien cocinados al orden. Incluye arroz del día gratis! Authentic Mexican flavors and unique menu options peak my interest for Dinning in. Located in Pilsen.

Only Had $5 margaritas to go. So I can't comment on the food. The server/bartender was great. Stopped by around lunch time on Saturday while walking around Pilsen. The $5 margarita sign caught the attention of my significant other since she loves margaritas. I was very pleased that the margarita was balanced but at the same time you could take the alcohol. I've had margaritas priced between $18-20 in the past and this margarita holds its own with being top 5 I've had. I did notice that it was hard to get service since it's located kinda basement style. The bathroom was clean and the mural was a cool addition.

Good music but thats was about it. I was the ONLY customer there. Ordered a classic burger around 2:40 pm and a 5 dollar margarita. Burger was decent but not for 16 dollars. That was like a 8.99 burger. Fries LOOKED nice but were RAW inside. Then i sent then back only for 15 later to tell me itll be longer because an INSPECTOR came. They need to fire the chef, that quality control was so bad im pretty sure they didnt pass inspection. The waitress let me pay only for the margarita as I only bit into the burger once.
