"Pochos describes itself as “your friendly neighborhood brunch restaurant,” and that’s exactly what it is. The menu at this Mexican cafe in Pilsen is mostly sweet and savory dishes, like caramel french toast or chorizo eggs benedict, plus sandwiches—including a tasty Cuban sandwich with pickled mustard seed aioli that we’d be happy to eat at 9am or 3pm (when Pochos closes). Pochos is extremely busy on the weekends, but during the week, it’s a cozy yet fun place you want to stay at and hang, with colorful decor and upbeat music played at a volume that’s a vibe but doesn’t force you to yell across the table.
