Mariscos San Pedro is an upcoming Mexican seafood restaurant located in Pilsen by the owners of Taqueria Chingon, Obélix, and Le Bouchon set to open mid-June. 

The Pilsen community is a thriving center of culture and hospitality, and our hope is that the property at 18th & Allport is a beacon for that culture. Mariscos San Pedro and sister concepts 16 On Center’s Punch House, Tack Room, and the renowned venue Thalia Hall continue to be a destination for fine people to gather around art, entertainment, and great food and beverage.
