    Good value compared to other Michelin star menus. Nice portion size, leaving full but not…read moreexploding. Excellent cocktails. Intimate setting with just 7 seats at the chef's counter and 12 in the dining area. 9/13 dishes were great. There's no "smoke and mirrors" at the chef's counter. For an additional $20, we received two extra courses and an intimate look at a high-functioning, high-pressure kitchen. Chef Norman Fenton's exacting expectations are on full display. It's a masterclass in attention to detail, though the transparency comes with a side of tension. I loved the honesty of the experience, but if your goal is a serene conversation over dinner, the main dining room is the play. 5/5 Would be sad to never have again (1) * Chamoyada: Palate cleansers are always refreshing, but this was next level. Fruity and fresh heaven. 4.5/5 Great (8) * Chips and Salsa: Impressive to finish like a true salsa and chip. My wife loved * Chicharron: Rich corn and cheese dip. * Aguachile: Stunning visually. Lovely chile broth. * Quesadilla: Truffle uses well to round the dish. Super rich with black garlic. * Lamb: Super rich glaze. Great accompaniments from the beets and sauces. * Pineapple dessert * Horchata chai: Banana pieces were incredible. Good sweetness level. * Finishing bites: Nice 33% and 66% chocolate. Fun little bites. 3/5: OK (3) * Ravioli: Ravioli inside was rich, but overly so. Nice corn sauce but there was a corn component on the outside of the dish that had an unpleasant chewy flavor. * Tacos Dorados/Bluefin Tuna/Toasta: Love the idea of taco flight, and a great mix of textures. But none of the taco flavors hit for me. * Black Cod: Great components, but a sum that added up to less not more. Ultracrispy kale, but it tasted far better on its on. Nice green sauce and cod. Chayote texture felt out of place for me. 2/5 Not good (1) * Michelada: The Modelo beer foam dominated what I'm sure was lovely oyster.

    Let me start by saying that curated Chef experiences are new to me and realistically outside of my…read morecomfort zone. I've never been a fan of someone else telling me what and how to eat. Wow... what a great experience. From the first course, a zesty oyster to dessert the experience was not what I expected and in a good way. I won't do the Chef a disservice by trying to describe what we were provided but know this the Taco Omakase is well worth the trip. Seriously, if you can make it in you need to do so It is well worth the effort.

Happy hour started shortly after I arrived, and after such a great first drink, I wasn't as impressed with the happy hour margarita. The guacamole was good, and the swordfish dip (an elevated take on tuna salad) was delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly and although our server switched due to our timing being at shift change they never missed a beat. It did however take a longer than expected to receive our drinks considering it wasn't packed. All in all, I'd definitely visit again.

For starters, it took about 20 minutes for us to get seated while other customers with smaller parties were getting seated right away. Second, in addition to the brunch menu being very limited, no server came by until about 30 minutes after being seated to take our order. They really push folks to do their breakfast buffet which makes sense, but that defeats the purpose of having a separate brunch menu with different items. The quality of the buffet food was very mediocre at best. I've had similar quality food served at 2-3 star hotels. Overall, unimpressed with my experience at Toro. Hopefully their lunch/dinner service and food are better.

The front door host was SUPER engaging and made us feel immediately welcome. The restaurant is trendy with a very hip vibe and the requisite interior decor to match. We were ushered by our waitress through a very nice indoor dining room to an outdoor dining area table for two. I noticed the outdoor dining also incorporated large sections suitable for big parties. Service here is very very attentive, starting with the fact that, I asked for a different type of chair finding the metal ones to be slightly confining. Our waitress, Caoimhe, was so hospitable in bringing a much more comfortable chair immediately. We ordered some alcohol drinks, a Pisco Punch and a beer. The Pisco was something new for myself and I found it refreshing. For light dinner, we ordered items to share. We both really liked the Piña Colada Ceviche. It was so delicious...the tuna pairing well with pineapple, jalapeño, coconut, cilantro and served with taro chips. Would definitely get it again! We also ordered three tacos. One al pastor, one shrimp and one barbacoa...with our favorites being the first two in that order. The barbacoa was dead last. Although it was tasty, I felt it needed a sauce to bring up what I felt was lacking in moisture. The corn tortillas of all the tacos were fine. We also asked for a side of rice and beans. Apparently they don't do refried beans so our waitress Caoimhe, suggested their black rice. Honestly, it was just ok and we found that a little salt & pepper made it a little better. I'd suggest the chef try cooking the black rice in a rich chicken stock. Should I return, I'd like to try the adobo glazed shrimp or the fire roasted salmon...they sound interesting. All in all, Pilsen Yards left me with a good impression of a new type of Mexican restaurant. The menu is definitely curated with the mindset of "less is more". This isn't your little neighborhood taqueria or old school Mexican restaurant with fifty different food options, refried beans and rice or chiles rellenos. What actually made the experience memorable...was the good service of the staff and if you're really "nice", the amicably amazing host may invite you to peek into their VIP "Alderman Room". Pilsen Yards is definitely worth a visit.

We adopted our server, everyone ordered something different, and we shared. Our server brought a variety of sauces which took the flavorful meat to new heights. We shared the Picada a La Parrilla. It's enough for 2-4 People and hits the Meat Highlights. I think the Plantains, sausage and chicken were my favorite. My friend's favorite was the pork ( large chunks of pork belly ). We left with a box of leftovers too! The bar program is incredible! We all loved our unique hand crafted drinks. We can't wait to come back!

The spicy margarita was top notch - very tasty. All the cocktails were! The food - Latin restaurants worth their salt are typically great at grilled meat, and this place is no exception. So . . . TOSTONES! And WOW were they tasty. I particularly liked the sauces that went along with them - a spicy hot sauce, chimichurri and another salsa (?). No matter, they were all tangy and delicious. Empanadas - something I always love. These were great. We got a few apps, and that was enough food for two for a light dinner. The staff was really friendly, adorable and welcoming. The people who work here are just fantastic, really adds to the experience. Ambiance is great - a nice bar area, which is where I always like to sit. A larger room for parties, and a smallish dining room. Recommended!

    We had a pleasant dinner on a Sunday evening out on the patio. Luckily it's covered so the little…read morebit of rain we had did not bother us. They had a very nice bread server with four individual oval French loaves with very tasty butter. We tried the provoleta with peppers because we like that a lot in Argentina, but this was nothing like it and I guess that was to be expected. There they have a bunch of drier version of provolone and they grill it directly on the grill grates and it doesn't really melt too much. This tasted like standard provolone cheese and it was melted in a bowl. It was tasty, and unfortunately they probably can't get the Argentinian version of the cheese they would need to do it correctly. Our friends got the beef brochette with asparagus and the outside skirt steak and both were fabulous. Well seasoned and grilled and tender. My husband and I got the 2 pound stuffed fillet! It supposedly had ham in the filling but I couldn't taste it or see it anywhere. Unfortunately it had a really strongly flavored sauce along with the portobello mushrooms. We expected something with fewer herbs, which kind of overpowered the beef. It's a shame because the way they described it on the menu is not what came out. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't what we were expecting and unfortunately, the beef flavor was hard to discern because of all of the herbs in the dark brown sauce. We brought our own wine and they didn't even have a corkage fee, which was amazing! We saw other plates go by with copious amounts of tomatoes and onions on salads and the filet mignon platter, it seemed like it was three or four pieces of fillet it had to be nearly a pound for one serving. The prices are pretty steep for the beef and they do charge $10 for sharing, however it might be worth just getting one of the larger plates and spending the 10 bucks to share as opposed to getting an entrée each and taking home lots of food which we did.

The warm table bread and butter was pretty good so it was an effort to keep from eating too much and ruining our appetite. We split a chicken empanada to start which was really good, especially with the chimichurri sauce. For mains, we split the parillada para dos - a large meat platter meant for two. It was came with a little house salad and was a super good deal with all the meat they gave you (we ended up with lunch the next day, too!) The best part of the dish was the short ribs. Super soft and sort of fatty tasting, but not in a gross way, in a really yummy way. We also really liked the chorizo sausage. The flap tastes good, but was a little tougher than the other meat. The beef sweetbread and blood sausage were different, a little bit of an odd texture, but still good.
