    Pocho Burger and Puerquito Benedict
    Kris V.

    Food: 10/10 DELICIOUS DELICIOUS Service: 10/10 no reservations when i dined it. And the server/host was very helpful in what was the best sellers Ambiance: feels like a local mom and pop eatery. Very authentic and feel home. I will definitely comeback.

    Puertquito eggs Benedict

    At 12pm on a Sunday, we only had to wait about 15 minutes for 2 people. The ambience is very chill, millennial-core. The food was pretty good, nothing amazing but nothing to complain about. I got the mimosa and puertquito eggs Benedict, both of which were tasty. Overall, a nice brunch option in Pilsen!

    French toast and fried chicken
    Irene R.

    New favorite brunch spot? Quite possibly! Located in Pilsen with a name like Pochos, you're not sure what to expect... is it Mexican brunch, is it American brunch. Ni de aquí ni de allá. It's a fresh and hip brunch spot with delicious food with both Mexican and American flare Service was solid (our waitress was friendly), food selection decent (no huge menu), but the food was delicious! Both flavorful and made to order. We started with the chicken empanadas, max flavor, generous size for a starter. Mains: I'm salivating just thinking about the French toast. The chicken is also delicious and juicy! My husband ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, which has the same chicken and he loved it. We came during the week and during happy hour, which we didn't partake in, but it's nice that it's an option. It was busy for a random Thursday afternoon, but nothing crazy. I look forward to coming back and will definitely try their chilaquiles.

    Updated Review: Decided to post an update for one of my favorite spots in the city, Pocho's. I always love coming back and finding that everything is just as delicious as the last time. Very cool welcoming atmosphere, and if you're in the front, they have a lot of natural light. Pocho's still has some of the best empanadas in the city. On my last visit, they had a special French toast that was so pretty I had to take a picture. The staff is always warm, friendly, and helpful. My sister and I have been coming here for years, often bringing our family along, and it's always a great experience. I ran into one of the owners the night before and decided to stop by the next morning for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised the food was still just as flavorful and satisfying as ever. If you're ever on 18th Street, Pocho's is definitely worth a visit!

    Amazing, amazing food!! Came to visit Chicago and was originally going to go to a different place for brunch but then found this place and decided to give it a try! The wait was not bad, given that it's a tiny place! We probably waited 20 minutes before being seated. The staff was friendly and super helpful answering any questions I had. We ended up getting some chilaquiles - omg! These are the best chilaquiles I've ever had at any restaurant!!! We also ordered their chicken sandwich and I'm not gonna lie, whenever I read chicken breast I do not have tasty thought about it. Boy, was I blown away at how delicious this chicken (breast) sandwich tasted!!! I'm drooling just thinking about it. I will definitely be going back the next time I go to Chicago!!

    Mimosa kit with grapefruit juice

    Amazing neighborhood gem! The food is delicious, service top notch, and $35 mimosa kit with fresh squeezed juice cannot be beat. Will definitely be back.

    Chorizo Skillet, Chilaquiles, Paloma, and Espresso Martini!

    One of the best brunch restaurants in Pilsen! Such friendly staff and amazing food. I would highly recommend the green chilaquiles, but would pass on the espresso martini.

    Pork with egg and Poblano Hollandaise (yes please)
    Imee V.

    One of our favorite stopovers in Pilsen. Pochos delivered on the brunch menu. We ordered a few entrees and Michelada's (score on the happy hour side). Ambience, fast service and meal raised the bar, exceeded our expectations. Our favorite was the pork chilaquiles with egg and poblano verde hollandaise sauce. Portions were sizable and had enough for the next two days, takeaway. Thanks for the wonderful meal and service, Pochos!

    Pancake with fresh berry fruits, Chorizo Omelette, Chicken French Toast, Kids Platter and lastly Chicken Chilaquiles but with steak.

    Yummy! A quick Pisces Szn pop out to celebrate birthdays. I was in need of mimosas without having a reservation. A random Sunday Funday was in need. I ended up dining here, and it was well worth it. It was super cute and quaint in the inside. Bright upbeat and photo ready-esque. The vibe was right. The server who was a Pisces, that serviced us was super sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. I love when the staff has actually sampled the menu and have great suggestions. I ordered a mimosa, oh I forgot to mention it was national margarita day, so I immediately said double me up baby! It's time to celebrate. Their margaritas were tasty and made fresh no concentrate. I hate when margaritas are made with a premade mix, or premixed or concentrate. Oh please don't mislead meh. I love a freshly made Margarita. I prefer natural.

    Avocado Toast French Toast
    Tanya M.

    This was a cool spot for breakfast. The avocado toast was messy but tasted good. The server was attentive. Nothing stood out as being extraordinary and also nothing was horrible either. I would check them out again and try a different dish. My food companion said that she would have preferred to have all of her items combined as opposed to a la carte.

    Enchiladas with steak
    Eva O.

    Pochos - Chicago, IL: The Enchiladas All the Way with Steak Just Broke My Brain I've eaten a lot of enchiladas in this city. None of them prepared me for the life-altering experience that is Pochos' "Enchiladas All the Way" with steak. Three corn tortillas stuffed with tender, juicy grilled skirt steak, rolled tight and swimming under a blanket of molten queso Chihuahua, then crowned with the holy trinity: tangy red chile sauce, crisp shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, and a final snowfall of cotija. It's the full Chicago-Mexican-American enchilada fantasy executed at absolute peak performance. The steak is perfectly seasoned and charred, still pink in the middle, and so plentiful it spills out with every bite. The red sauce has that deep, slow-cooked chile flavor that makes your eyes roll back, the cheese pulls for days, and the cold crunch of the lettuce and tomato cuts through the richness like a miracle. I mopped up every last drop with their fluffy Mexican rice and smoky refried beans like a man possessed. Portions are comically huge, prices are stuck in the 90s, and the vibe is pure family-run joy: bright colors, soccer on the TVs, and abuelitas in the kitchen who've clearly been making this exact plate for decades. The staff treats you like you're the 100th cousin they're thrilled finally showed up for dinner. Pochos isn't chasing trends. They're just quietly serving one of the best plates of enchiladas in the entire city, maybe the country. That "all the way" with steak is now permanently tattooed on my soul. I'm already trying to invent reasons to drive back across town tomorrow. Five stars is an insult. Get in the car right now. You'll thank me when you're halfway through the plate and tears of happiness are streaming down your face. ¡Viva Pochos!

    Empanadas
    Samantha G.

    This place is a little hidden gem! The waitress was super sweet and patient with us and answered all our questions. Everything was delicious from the cafe de olla to the chilaquiles. Do not miss the empanadas! We loved them! I would definitely recommend pochos if you're in the area.

    What a cute place for brunch. I will say that it is not your traditional Mexican breakfast and the price is a little steep but I know that it was worth it for what I was in the mood for. It was such a vibe and you can tell by the crowd that it was a little more gentrified than what it was when I was growing up in the city. I ordered the rajas omelette and it was delish. the flavors were so good and very original. I don't drink coffee but my family said the coffee was great. I would come back and try other items.

    I had a really good experience at 3 Arts. I wasn't able to get a reservation for Sunday brunch, so…read morewe made sure to arrive before opening. There was already a small line of guests with the same idea, but we were able to get on the waitlist. While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't aware of that, and it also wasn't asked by the hostess. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and moved us to a table in the wine cellar. The wine cellar had a completely different vibe, dark and moody, compared to the bright, airy courtyard with its beautiful glass ceiling and natural light. We ordered the lobster roll and the RH Burger, both with fries. The food came out fairly quickly and was well-presented. The lobster roll was served on a buttery brioche with just the right amount of seasoning, and the burger was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.

    Went with friends for an evening dinner in a cool atmosphere. We were not to disappointed there…read more Was a beautiful rainy Chicago night. Unfortunately for us we were a table for 3 and despite having mad that reservation weeks in advance were placed in what was obviously just 2 two tops pushed together. And not in the main atrium area. Look it was still a beautiful atmosphere and our company made it a lovely evening. Why don't they have a liquor license here? Ok the food. The burrata salad, so nice and summer fresh. We also had the crispy artichokes meh. What saved my night was the chicken salad. The crispy bits...amazing all through the salad. So good. Let's talk dessert, the butterscotch crème brûlée so good. Coffee and a port wine.... Good, but where is the cheese board. This place would benefit from real liquor and a desert cheese board. I mean I must believe that RH has a cheese board on offer somewhere. Anyway, nice evening and decent food in a mostly lovely place.
