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"

Great seafood and excellent service.
Only Had $5 margaritas to go. So I can't comment on the food. The server/bartender was great.

“Only Had $5 margaritas to go.”
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.

“Loved the taco selection.”
Loved the taco selection. Was sad that they didn't have any avocados to make the fried avocado tacos. We chose some really good alternatives however. The service was a bit slow and our food came out in waves as I've heard described in other reviews. I got a mango mojito and it was pretty good. The mushroom Taco was the absolute best out of the four that we ordered. I would definitely love to go back and try order a different drinks. All in all I had a very happy Taco Tuesday.

Stumbled upon this quaint Mexican Restaurant in West Pilsen area (off Ashland) and I love it. They have a $5 margarita special daily and free chips/salsa. Overall good food. The rice could use a little sprucing up with flavor or sauce but I liked my food and drinks both times I’ve visited. Servers were nice and attentive. They self DJ from an iPad, so feel free to drop a music request. 😉 Things I tried: Guac, Rice (fun orangish color), black beans, al pastor tacos, empanadas, margaritas and strawberry fresca. Side note, heart shaped tacos for Vday
