Best

My friends and I went here on a Saturday night. We were lucky to snag a table given how packed the place was and the fact that we didn't have a reservation. The staff was friendly...

Worst

My friend and I went there a few times and thought the food was subpar but could never determine why until we got take out one night. We finally figured out why the tacos tasted f...

Wonderful experience! 8/26/2007

I live in the local area of Pozole, and kept putting off visiting.....not really a tequila fan. But I decided to try it finally. WOW!! Had I been missing out! I entered the door and the lovely hostess was all smiles, very welcoming. She sat us promptly. Our waitress, Lauren, took great care of us. Even Todd, the manager, came by to see how we were.....that's always a plus! Anyway, we ordered the ""perfect"" margarita, tacos, and dessert. All which were splendid. (I even had two margaritas!!!) The beef tacos ruled our night! My experience with the staff and food definately said a lot about the restaurant as a whole. I like to see people who care about food and service! Thank you and I will be back a bunch!!!! Pros: Everything!!!!! (My wife said Todd was cute!) more

Tapas??? 7/8/2007

I am shocked that many people rate this place high. I thought this place is more of a bar than a restaurant. Meaning they make profit off of drinks not the crappy food they serve. I have been to REAL tapas and this is not even close. Pros: in nice area Cons: noisy, food more

Great food & service 4/14/2007

I've only been to Pozole a couple of times but that's enough to say I love this place. It's very small and cozy inside and the menu offers a lot of different options- small plates & taco plates which are very affordable and entrees which are a little more pricey. Love the salmon and blue corn fritters and my husband loved the brisket tacos. The tuna was nothing to write home about but I still ate every bit of it. Good mojitos and great service, we loved our server David. Will keep going back.\r Pros: Service, food & drinks Cons: is small so can feel crowded at times more

Great tapas, affordable, great location! 11/19/2006

Pozole really does have some of the best margaritas in town - even the house margs are hard to beat! Service was a little slow once we were seated and there weren't enough space heaters on the patio - but once we got the servers attention she was great! Very good food, good selection, and very affordable for what you get. The beef brisket tacos were really impressive. The place itself wasn't as nice as I expected, so not ideal for a romantic night out - but great for casual food or dinner out before hitting the bars.\r \r The only downside was letting people smoke in the restaurant - it somewhat spoiled to meal - perhaps keep that until after 10:30pm or later. Pros: Tasty tacos, inexpensive, fun Cons: Indoor smoking and a little chilly more

Fun! 11/12/2006

Great, inexpensive food and friendly staff combined with killer margaritas. Try the ""perfect"" - it really is..... more

Great Pomegranite Margarita's, Excellent Gucamole and Rah- Rah! 10/5/2006

We have to admit, Jen Soong's, CitySearch, review was on target. But much to our surprise, Pozole, is more a Cantina, that other upscale Highland destinations. We didn't know if we were in Athen's, Clemson, but it was obvious, the hometown team had one. It was packed with twenty and early thirty Friday nighters, getting fired up for the clubs later. My good friend, and myself made our way to the bar, and ordered us a south of the border concoction. I started with a very tasty Mango Mojito, and she got a terrific Pomegrante Margarita, with shaved ice. My next drink was one of those terrific pom-marg's. Oh goodness! App's were a good gucamole and Chile con Queso. Small plates, and limited entree's are the fare here. My companion had the combo Green Mole Enchilades, withy the mole on the side, phobia of anything hotter than ketchup or mayo. I had the Mole Roasted Duck Tostada, where's the duck, and a tasty crabcake over Jicima Slaw. We can't wait until warm weather, when the covered patio is open, and have several rounds of thos pom-marg's and guac. And then on to someplace else in the Highlands for our entree's. Much fun! Rah-Rah! Pros: Great Drinks! Small Plates! Terrific Server!, Lavish Tropical Drinks! Cons: Parking In The Highlands, Always A Hassel! more

Over-rated 9/7/2006

I heard a lot about this place and I was excited to try it out; however it was an underwhelming experience. I recommend the queso dip and guacamole, but both of my taco choices (one tilapia and the other with potatoes, cheese, and peppers) were not apetizing. Also the dining atmosphere was unimpressive. more

food & atmosphere = fresh 8/31/2006

Being from the southwest I have high standards and I have to say I like this place. The margaritas aren't outstanding (don't like the watered down effect from the snow cone ice)...stay away from the mango one...but the non-flavored margaritas ON THE ROCKS are good. The tacos and calamari were great. My boyfriend (the culinary snob) and I thought the mussels were some of the best and most unique we've ever had. This place is always busy and bouncing at night with beautiful people. Don't go expecting a quiet dinner and be prepared to wait...but the servers are very nice and always try to be accommodating. Until a Rubios or La Salsa makes it across the country I'll be eating here! Pros: food, fun, good for groups Cons: small space, Highlands parking more

Not nearly as good as expected, very disappointed in food 8/27/2006

Pozole has recently been getting rave reviews from other local Highlanders, but I don't know why. The food was way too spicy, so much so that my girlfriend couldn't eat it and I couldn't taste any flavor. Drinks were good, though overpriced. I'll not go back for dinner - maybe for a drink. Pros: Cool atmosphere, nice porch Cons: Food too spicy, drinks too expensive more

Great restaurant! 8/25/2006

My husband and I LOVED this place! The food was great, the drinks were good, and the service was excellent! The fish tacos were especially good, as well as the green mole enchiladas. We will definitely eat here again! Pros: Great food, drinks, service Cons: A little on the loud side more

Amazing food! 8/8/2006

Pozole's food is delicious and creative. The prices are reasonable and you get big portions for what you pay. I can't wait to go back! Pros: Amazing food, good service, food served fast Cons: Very loud more

Great new spot 7/26/2006

Pozole is definitely a favorite of ours. Its hard to beat a jalapeno margarita and a couple of beef brisket tacos. Finally, delicious tacos made with real corn tortillas!. I for one love the favor that they add to the already delicious Pozole tacos. Flour ""tortillas"" are rolled out for the gringos used to eating at Taco Bell. Pros: Food, Drinks, Service, Authentic Corn Tortillas!! Cons: None come to mind more

Disappointing Dining Experience 7/14/2006

I was very disappointed in my dining experience. While the beef taco, the pork taco and the flautas were excellent, I do not recommend the corn and mushroom quesadilla. My pomegranate marguarita, at $9.00, was weak and watered-down. But worst of all, the restaurant was noisy and it was swelteringly hot. There was no air conditioning--only fans and open windows--and it was 92 degrees outside. Parking is limited and expensive at $7.00. Pros: Some of the food items are very good. Cons: Dining room was hot and noisy, Parking. more

The best pomegranite & mango margaritas in town! Great neighborhood place! 6/30/2006

I live very close to the restaurant and go quite often. Recognition the moment you walk through the door, they love their regulars. Lobster tacos are amazing. Many different salsas, great guacamole. Serve food late night. Great addition to the Highlands. more

fab margaritas 6/18/2006

The margaritas with the sno-cone ice are delicious! I really enjoyed all the different salsas and guacamole. Also ordered the tuna crudo but I would not recommend it. The lime sections overpower all the flavors and make it much too tart. A friend had the corn and mushroom quesidillia and did not like it. Other than that everything was great and it's such a fun casual atmosphere. Pros: margaritas, mojitos, guacamole more

One word....AWESOME!!! 5/11/2006

Pozole is THE BEST place in the city for tequila, margaritas, tapas, entrees, tacos, and desserts BY FAR!! Every other nuevo-latino restaurant is pale in comparison (even the over-priced ones). They have incredible specials and exceptional service. Oh yeah, and late nite is a blast too ;). Pros: Lobster tacos, The entire staff, and Everything else Cons: Not enough room..., in my stomach more

Great atmosphere and drinks! 5/9/2006

This is the perfect type of restaurant for this spot in the Highlands. The margaritas are excellent and the atmosphere is very fun. We snacked on a couple appetizers, both of which were good - nothing outstanding, but the drinks, location, and friendly service make this place well worth trying for either a quick bite on a casual weeknight or before heading out for the night. Pros: Margaritas, Good decor, Good value Cons: Parking more

Amazing! What a find! 4/29/2006

Pozole is a great combination of delicious, authentic dishes, a great ambience, a friendly wait-staff, yummy drinks and decent prices! You can spend a lot or spend a little, depending on what your mood is. I highly recommend the Carzuella de Shellfish and the Pomegranite Margarita. A great place for happy hour, pre-gaming Dark Horse and Blind Willies, or simply enjoying some good eats. I am definitely going back!! Pros: cozy porch, attentive staff, great food/drinks Cons: difficult parking more

Great new place for Margaritas! 4/7/2006

I had a great experience last week. This spot is definitely the best looking it has ever been. The ambience is wonderful and the margaritas are great. Another plus is that they offer a late night menu other than diner food. The service was quick and friendly. The duck tostada and the chicken entree were amazing. The pomegranate and jalapeno margaritas were my personal favorite. Pros: Margaritas, Patio, Inexpensive more

Great Find! 4/6/2006

The atmosphere is here great. Definitely try one of the margaritas (NOT the jalapeno though!) The managment and wait staff are very accomodating and helpful. The menu isn't huge but the specialty tacos are fabulous- the beef brisket taco is excellent. Overall this is a great place, especially if you have nice weather- sit on the porch. Pros: employees, drinks, atmposhere Cons: small menu, small porch more
