"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.

During the week, it’s the kind of cozy yet fun place you want to stay at and hang (until 4pm, when it closes), with colorful decor and upbeat music played at a volume that’s still a vibe but doesn’t force you to yell across the table. But Pochos is extremely busy on the weekends, so expect a long wait if you visit at brunch time." - adrian kane, alyssa reyes, veda kilaru, john ringor

"Mexican American breakfast and brunch spot Pochos will reopen Saturday, February 18, with chilaquiles and French toast, following a relocation from McKinley Park, according to Block Club. Co-owners and partners Irene Acosta and Miguel Hernandez opened the original Pochos in 2019 at 35th and Seeley but tell reporters they couldn’t find a way to keep the business open in the neighborhood." - Naomi Waxman
"A popular Mexican American brunch spot moving to a new location in Pilsen." - Naomi Waxman
