Pochos

Crema's Take
“Pochos is a warm neighborhood gathering spot in Pilsen where traditional Mexican breakfast and brunch dishes are executed with genuine care—their chilaquiles and rajas omelettes arrive perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor, while house-made details like their whipped cream elevate every plate. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes it the kind of place where you can linger over coffee and pastries with friends or celebrate special moments, all while feeling genuinely looked after by a kitchen that treats each order like it matters.”

Poncho’s absolutely delivered. I ordered the chicken chilaquiles and they were perfect, rich, well- balanced, and clearly made with care. Comforting without being heavy, and packed with flavor. My daughter had the burger, and it was genuinely delicious, juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Not an afterthought on the menu at all. The drinks deserve a special mention: tasty, well-crafted, and definitely on the strong side (in the best way). And the service? Excellent, attentive, friendly, and welcoming without hovering. Great food, great drinks, great energy. We’ll absolutely be back.
I had the Rajas Omelette with the grilled chicken and it was amazing!! A friend and I stopped by Pochos and had a great time. She tried the Chorizos & we split a classic French Toast as well. Food was all around amazing and out server was so nice!
Stopped by Pochos for brunch with a friend and it was amazing! We shared the seasonal French toast and their house-made whipped cream was to die for! The chicken chilaquiles were spicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection (sauce ratio was perfect not too much)! The $5 mimosa Monday special was the cherry on top - I highly recommend the hibiscus mimosa, however, they also offer other mixers to choose from. I don’t remember our server’s name but we appreciated her attentiveness and welcoming demeanor. I will definitely be back soon!
Stopped by Pochos in Pilsen for a late brunch and had an amazing experience! The chilaquiles verdes with carne and eggs were absolutely excellent, and the chicken club was delicious. Drinks were on point, perfectly complementing the meal. The service was fantastic, friendly and attentive. This is a great spot for brunch and drinks in Pilsen.
Went out for a farewell breakfast for my brother before his honeymoon and the food did not disappoint! Ordered the enchiladas all the way with the steak and was properly pleased with the portions and quality of everything! Paired with some agua de Jamaica.....well done! Definitely advise a visit to pochos
