What an awesome spot. Parking was a little tricky, street parking is wild. The wait was short for a Saturday morning , 10am ish. We got greeted and seated promptly and politely. The place was clean and well decorated. Very at home vibe. Love that there wasn't music blasting but it is loud in there, it's like being at a family get together. I had the medium green pozole and my bf had the red pozole. We split the flautas. I had the reg coffee and he had the cafe de olla, which I tasted. It was like biting into the ripest piece of fruit. Sweet but strong, excellent combo I'll be back for more! read more

Food was super delicious, ordered the Pozole Flight since I couldn't decide for just one, which has a plate of each; pozole rojo, pozole verde, pozole blanco. More than enough for myself. Waitress was friendly, helpful and courteous. The place has a home feeling to it, a few tables inside the restaurant, but staff was able to accommodate for a seating fast. read more

This place is super busy during the weekend but we decided to order to go which is a good decision. We got their medio pazole verde which was full with so much flavors. Everything is given on the side like cabbage and onions. We also got their botano platter which included flatuas which was good but really crunchy and the pork feet were pickled but was good as well. It's on such a busy road and not a lot of parking. Their horchata is good and really sweet and refreshing. read more

I had this place bookmarked for a while and my friend also went with her family and really liked it, so I finally got to go with my mom. The place is cute, warm, and cozy inside. The staff was very nice and the art inside was fun. We got the pozole flight and enjoyed being able to try all the pozoles although the white one was our personal favorite. We also got the flauta and chile capon. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Peke's Pozole - Pozole flight - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My husband and I visited Peke's Pozole on a Saturday night about an hour before closing, and we were pleasantly surprised! We waited around 15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all for a weekend night. The service was excellent, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They came by our table a couple of times just to check if we needed anything else, which we appreciated. Now, the food... wow! My husband is a huge fan of Mexican food, and he absolutely loved the pozole, he also ordered two chiles capones filled with cheese, onion, and sour cream, he couldn't stop talking about how good they were! I got a huarache with beans, cheese, and sour cream on top, and it was MASSIVE. I wasn't expecting it to be that big, so I ate half and took the rest to go. This spot is such a gem if you're into authentic Mexican cuisine. We'll definitely be back very soon! read more

Coming from the north side, we were worried if it was gonna be worth it but Peke's Pozole was SO worth it! The Pozole Flight was perfect. Having all three options lets you really experience the best of what pozole has to offer. We loved the huge plate of toppings (tostadas, limones, avocado, and more!). Honestly, Pozole Rojo might be the best one. We tried the new menu item, Flautas de Pollo con consomé, and we loved them. Nice & crunchy with tons of flavor! The menus packed with options so we'll definitely make the drive back soon! Everybody was so nice and we got our food QUICK! A small, but well lit & decorated place. There's mainly street parking, but having a small parking lot a couple doors down is perfect! read more

So good! I've been here twice and it does not disappoint. The service is great! Waitresses are attentive and friendly. I've had their pozole flight and my favorite is definitely red. This last time I ate here I had their maracuya margarita which was flavorful. I recommend the sopes was an appetizer as well. All in all this spot is a great place to get pozole if not the best in Chicago. read more

Took a ride down 55 to the Southwest side to grab some authentic pozole. This place was worth the line. Put our names in line and went next door to grab some Cuban coffee. Wait was less than 20 minutes on a Sunday. Pozole was extremely tasty- my favorite was the green. Staff were super friendly and they make a great classic margarita. Looking forward to coming back with my caliente wife for some caliente soup! read more

So far so good. Pros: made to order pozole Cons: wish I had tried it sooner Thus far, my experience with Peke's Pozole has been brief and satisfying. The restaurant is a small and discreet building on Pulaski near 47th Street with a very obvious cat-like creature sign. The interior is also small but opens up like a split level home. The staff is forward and friendly. I've only ordered one dish to go, the large red pozole, and was very pleased. The order was carefully packaged and was enough for two people if neither of you are crazy hungry. The side items were quality fresh and I appreciated the extra spicy powder on the side. It can be very difficult to trust any restaurant to make pozole because it's such a homemade dish. Peke's brings a pleasant offering to the table. No pun intended. read more

Omg what a delicious place and especially during the winter. I crave warm food during this time and the pozole was exactly what I needed. I wouldn't change a thing! The provided all the sides you would need. I'm recommending to everyone I know! We had the carne asada fries and they were delicious. I underestimated how big the bowls of pozole were. My favorite is the pozole verde but if you're an adventurer they do have the pozole flight. The staff was very friendly and checked on us the entire time. I loved the decor! read more

My mom and I made the trip from the North Side to try Peke's Pozole, and we're so glad we did -- this place is the real deal! We both ordered the green pozole, and it was everything we hoped for -- comforting, flavorful, and incredibly authentic. The hominy was thick and clearly homemade, giving it that true traditional texture that's hard to find. The green broth wasn't spicy, but it was rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. We also loved the red and green salsas they served on the side. The red definitely brought the heat, while the green added a nice tangy kick. Both were delicious and elevated the whole experience. You can tell this place puts a lot of love into their food. It reminded us of homemade pozole you'd get at a family gathering -- and that's the highest compliment we can give. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Ok girls and guys if mom is not available to make you pozole well this spot right here can get you buy for sure. All 3 flavors are good but the red one I think outshines the green and white ones. Also had a gusta he and it was decent not to bad. Service was great and friendly food came out quick. Very clean place also. Yes please come here and eat some pozole. read more

Look no further than Peke's Pozole for the best Pozole in Chicago. Their Pozole is the gold standard. Everything we ordered was spot on delicious which I personally find rare when eating out. We arrived Saturday during prime lunch hour. Although busy, we were greeted and seated within minutes sans reservation. Service was swift and food came out at a good pace. Pricing is easy on the pocket which is always a plus. Street side parking seems to be the only option. A challenge for sure in a busy urban location but luckily a free space opened up steps away from the restaurant. Come with an appetite. The portions are hearty and there's plenty to take home afterwards. read more

The service was great!! The pozole is the best! The mole tastes home made. Definitely will be back

I don't normally make a review but when I tell you that this pozole reminded me of home, is because it felt like it was made just for me and me only. I ate till I couldn't breathe. Servers were quick and very kind, made sure I was taken care of even when it was a full house! The restaurant reminded me of home, first floor was packed and then you go downstairs and it's like a flashback of my grandmothers house. read more

I had a soup craving and was headed to a red really far from the city. I looked on yelp and saw the high ratings so I came here and I'm glad I did. Parking is difficult but there was fast service very friendly; nice clean place and the flight of pozole was deeelicious. At first I didn't think I liked the white but it was nicely seasoned--all were. The table had oregano and spices and hot sauce. Plus the waitress gave me a super spicy condiment that made my nose run but I loved it. I will definitely be back especially this winter. read more

I'm never disappointed this time. I tried the green pozole, flautas, and yoli Pretty good This time, I sit downstairs nice, spacious, too Staff on point They also serve liquor micheladas are great See you next time read more

Excellent food. Elevated and creative Mexican food that doesn't lose its hominess. We had the appetizer platter which gave a good mix of things to try including their flautas, fresh and delicious, and their pickled pig feet which are as good as what I remember my mom's to be. Sorry mom. You're still my culinary hero. We also tried their green and red pozoles which were comforting and chock full of pork meat and homemade hominy. I cannot resist the temptation of handmade tortillas and their Picaditas did not disappoint. The cecina or dried steak that went with them was flavorful. Overall this a great place which we love bringing new folks to. read more

Consistent taste and excellent service! This has become the place to go for pozole. I tried the huarache and steak dinner and again...just as good and DELICIOUS. Only negative is the parking situation. read more

We decided to go for Pozole for our 27th anniversary and it was the right decision The best tip I can give you is to go during the week on weekends the wait for a table can be 2 hrs The Pozole Flight is Green , White, and Red Pozle, just like the colors of the Mexican Flag Plus, all the fixing to hook it up Limes, Cabbage, Red onion, Radish, Avocado, and Tostadas (whole fried tortillas). Also, don't forget to add the dried oregano The service was great and very informative we will be going back soon The Green Verde Pozole was my favorite it has a slight kick, but the flavor had my tongue dancing it might have been doing a salsa dance. But you can't go wrong with any of them The White is a chicken broth very light but crisp and tasty The Red Rojo is the hottest but not too hot for my tastes read more

It's hard to get good Pozole if it isn't cooked at home. Most places take short cuts or use inferior ingredients, but Peke's does it right. Even with all the fixings you need included! Service is excellent and store is clean. Everything else was great too. Salsas are spicy, no short cuts are taken. It gets busy so you might want to make reservations or just order pickup. Take some Pozole to go, it reheats great too! read more

This spot is A+, the pozole comes with tostadas, onions, cabbage, radishes, limes, and avocado and is perfectly tasty. The service is quick, everyone is very friendly, and the music is so good!

Their food is so good. The pozole is the best either it's green or red, I love both. The only thing I was a little confused about was that they only do pork pozole but other than that the service is great. Very friendly and kind with delicious food. read more

The Posole is awesome, good portions. I had the green Posole, my wife had the menudo. For us the small size was adequate. If you're hungry, get the large size.. Both dishes are a little in the spicy side, but delicious. I had the Café De Olla. It's spiced with cinnamon, yum yum. read more

Just want to share my gratitude to this establishment, because it never disappoints. I've been a loyal customer since 2021 and am still going strong. All my family members Rave about this pozole place. When u order pozole they include the garnishes, homemade tostadas, a lime and a whole avocado. Who can beat that!!!! I highly encourage everyone to give this establishment an opportunity, u will not b disappointed. ;) read more

recently visited Pekes pozole for the first time on February 19th, 2025, and I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, the cozy and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The highlight of my visit was, of course, the pozole. It was rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and had the perfect balance of spices. The generous portions of tender meat and fresh toppings added to the overall deliciousness. I also appreciated the variety of condiments available to customize the dish to my liking. Throughout our meal, Lorena our server was incredibly attentive and professional. She provided excellent recommendations from the menu, and her knowledge of the dishes was impressive. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, she ensured that our drinks were always refilled and checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. read more

This place is fantastic! The service was excellent, and while we did have to circle around a few times to find parking, it was worth it. I'd definitely recommend it and look forward to going back. My favorite dish was the white pozole--I added some sauce myself, and it was perfect. The portions are generous, so I ended up taking a lot of food to go! read more

I was able to try Peke's Pozole for the first time this past weekend and just WOW. The food is incredible and I'm already excited for my next visit. They only take walk-ins so I made sure to arrive right at opening to minimize the wait. Although we didn't have to wait, all tables filled up within the half hour. The space is beautiful and super inviting! To start off the morning, we had a warm comforting cup of cafe de olla. I specifically came for the pozole flight and it lived up to the hype. The flight consists of pozole blanco, rojo, and verde. I had never tried pozole blanco before and it was super rich, but refreshing. The verde was spicy and vibrant, while the rojo was smoky! Our flights came with toppings like onion, radish, and cabbage to brighten the soup. Best pozole in Chicago. Hands down. To make the experience even better, we were given very attentive service. Huge thank you to the staff and owner for such a memorable meal! I can't wait to return soon! read more
