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.

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.

Pozole Verde

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!

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!

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!

Pozole Flight

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.

Pozole rojo

Came in person and ordered pozole rojo for takeout on a Sunday afternoon. The gallon came with freshly made tostadas, lime, avocado, cabbage, and radishes. The pozole was very flavorful with plenty of meat and hominy. Would definitely recommend and order ahead for next time!

What a great start to a fun eating weekend in Chicago. Quick stop from Midway. The pozole was great and the fixings fresh in abundance. Got the sampler and shared it with a friend. Still had leftovers.

Luis Q.

Had to add pics! Look at all the stuff that goes in there! I definitely stuck with the large and took the leftovers with me!

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!

Pozole rojo

We've been coming to pekes for a long time and today was just a disappointment the pozole tasted straight up like sopa not even the hot powder chili helped ugh

Queta S.

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!

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.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

We got the mixed shrimp and steak fajita as the fajita Friday would give us a $5 discount. The fajita gives you a great fire show! However, if we didn't catch the server prepare the first few seconds, we would've missed it, so a heads up would've been appreciated. It felt a bit rushed. The steak and shrimp were solid but for $33 before tax and tip, it is a bit steep. However, the amount of food is good enough for 2 people for a light satisfying meal. I docked off a few stars because while the food is good, service really needs improvement. We had no utensils for 15 minutes. We had to flag the server a few times, nowhere to be found. They didn't even end up discounting the $5 and with how hard it is to get attention from a server, I had to force to leave no tip in the end to make up for the difference, in addition to the very poor service. For near closing when it's not busy, it's not acceptable to not be attended to during the dining service especially we had to leave the food cold waiting for utensils to even start eating.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.

Spicy and bitterness of the chocolate balanced super well. rice was also cooked perfectly. The shredded beef dish was short rib and mashed potatoes.
