Pozoleria San Juan

Went there on a Sunday night and my wife ordered pozole blanco and I ordered the pozole verde.  Both were delicious and and very tasty. I was impressed with spread they bring with pozole which is diced onions, chopped radishes, chopped cabbage, avocado, tostadas & pork skins.  I added all these condiments plus chili pepper & oregano and it reminded me of the times my grandma made this for special family gatherings.

My daughter ordered only 1 chicken taco and I tried a bite and that was good too.

The only reason I gave 4 stars was because while we were eating there was fruit flies flying around and we got really annoyed with having to eat and every two minutes swiping our hands in the air.  I hope they fix this problem!!

I only went here because I saw it on Chicagos Best TV.

I have 12 years of Pozole eating experience. I have not only eaten Pozole from my friends mothers table who is from Mexico, but I have also made it myself after being taught by her. Needless to say, this Pozole is as good as it gets. And the fact that they serve it 3 different ways(white/verde/red) just makes this place that much better. The kicker though to the whole experience is the Chicharon that accompanies it. Damn!!! I have never tried to dip my Chicharon in some Pozole, but whoa buddy, that salty, pork flavor just kicked up the whole soup by about ten degrees. Why hadn't I ever thought to do it this way is beyond me. So much better than just cracking some tostada into the soup. I literally was leaving the chicharon half-in half-out so it would soak and soften it up. It was killing me it was so damn good. Sheesh, before I forget, the Pozole I tried was the Verde style. Now, I am not sure how you eat your Pozole but I prefer a ton of lime and also a generous amount of salt, since the ingredients in Pozole are not always the most flavorful, especially hominy which is just filler. I also like a mad amount of chopped onion, cabbage and radish to kick it up a few extra notches. Finally, if you are any bit like me, you will ask for a fresh plate of Jalapenos to munch on, especially good with some salt on top, to really bring the entire meal together. Yeah boy, this dish was money!!!

Enjoy Suckas'!!!

BIG shout out to my coworker and friend Javier. We had been talking at work the other day how much we both like pozole. So he recommended I try this place. This is the perfect cold weather comfort food! Since it's been a few weeks since I've had it, I've been craving it. I asked the 'ole hubby to get some on his way back from work Saturday. It was our first time trying this place! He got an order of green *and* the red pozole. Both were good, but I liked the red best! The portion was HUGE! He paid about $26 but he got two big containers of the pozole, all the trimmings (chicharron, oregano, onion, radish, lime and even avocado!) and two hot chocolates. So I think for the portion size, that was a good deal. We ended up eating it over two meals so I think that is quite a value.

Pozole is usually served only on weekends so this place is cool because pozole is their thing -and they serve it ALL THE TIME. This could be dangerous, as it's located on the way home from work. Ah well. It's some good stuff.

If you like pozole...give 'em a try!
