Mexican seafood with ceviche, oysters, tacos & whole fish
"Mariscos San Pedro could serve their Mexican seafood in the middle of the Kennedy during rush hour, and we’d still tell you to risk life and limb for a spoonful of their hibiscus-and-beet-cured scallop aguachile. Lucky for your insurance premium, all that’s required to join this wildly delicious seafood party is a visit to Pilsen (and, occasionally, a reservation). Get a smoky octopus sonoran dog to celebrate that job interview that actually went pretty well, but just know that they will cause a rift in your group over who gets the largest bite.

"Like Alegrias (also on this guide), Mariscos San Pedro is a casual Mexican spot with outstanding seafood and a beach party atmosphere. Almost every dish at this Pilsen restaurant is shareable, from the ceviches to the tostadas to the DIY taco situation highlighting a perfectly cooked whole fish and chewy housemade tortillas. Get a giant shellfish platter that will feed everyone who shows up, and drink fruity cocktails while the cartoon sea creatures grinning at you from the walls progressively feel like they’re part of the birthday hang.

"This Mexican seafood spot from the Taqueria Chingon team had us saying “Is this our new favorite restaurant?” after the spicy hibiscus-and-beet-cured scallop aguachile made us cry tears of pineapple broth-y joy. And by introducing your date to that aguachile, maybe they’ll think “Is this my new favorite person?” But really, any dish might inspire that thought—whether you get a tostada, a smoky bacon-wrapped octopus Sonoran dog, or tacos with striking squid ink-dyed soft shell crab served on housemade tortillas. The busy space always has a fun energy and is perfect for a casual dinner, especially if you’re seeing a show at Thalia Hall next door.

"Let us tell you about the power of Mariscos San Pedro, a Mexican seafood spot from the team behind Obelix. It makes us sweat and cry tears of pineapple broth-y joy with its spicy hibiscus-and-beet-cured scallop aguachile. It turns seafood non-enthusiasts into octopus evangelists thanks to a creative spin on a Sonoran dog. And it has cute cartoon sea creatures grinning from the walls who, after enough mezcal swizzles, feel like they’re part of your fun dinner masquerading as a beachside hang. No matter what dishes make it to the table, expect spicy, bold, and smoky flavors to crash the wildly delicious party." - team infatuation
