The Scene
In the space that once housed Surin's Thai Bowl, Pozole is a welcome addition to the Virginia-Highland's vibrant restaurant scene. The rejuvenated space is festively decorated with tequila bottles, modern dangling lights and colorful art. The boisterous atmosphere attracts a mix of dates, groups and young families who are in good hands with hip, accommodating servers.
The Food
The menu, described as Nuevo Latino, is full of flavor and perfect for sampling or a full meal. A comforting hominy soup called pozole is offered as a starter along with a selection of small plates, such as mussels swirled in a cilantro tequila sauce. Tacos hit the spot with stuffing choices of tilapia, pork and beef brisket. Entrees are heavier, but well worth a try, especially the braised beef short ribs, cooked in a sweet mole sauce and served over creamy corn grits with bits of Oaxaca cheese.

This is my NEW favorite taco joint. the tequilla list is out of control and they are great with the recommendations. Try the lobster tacos, they are tooooooo good. Oh and there's a deal on al la carte lobster tacos that's way worth it. YUMMMMMM! Oh, but if it's a group of two try and show up a little early cause it gets pretty packed around 7ish I've noticed.

Pazole is our favorite restaurant in VaHi. It is definitely the best mexican in the neighborhood - always fresh and flavorful- and we love that they frequently run specials and change the menu. It seems like there is always something new and exciting to try. Their margaritas are awesome (jalepeno is my fave), and they have so many different tequilas. Early in the evening they are very family friendly - even providing coloring pages and crayons for the kids. Later, the atmosphere takes on a much more adult feel.The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the prices are reasonable. With or without our kids in tow, we love it!

The thing we like most about Pozole is the outstanding service! The hostess, bar staff, wait staff and management are consistently friendly, courteous, and attentive. The staff always has a positive demeanor, and treats patrons as guests. We are regular visitors, and while we enjoy the food and margaritas, the service is what really keeps us coming back. The early evening crowd consists of families, transitioning to a younger social set later in the evening (drawn in by the variety of tequilas and friendly, casual atmosphere no doubt). The food is excellent, and reasonably priced. We usually start with the chips and flavorful variety of salsas. They often have specials for starters and main course that are also full of flavor. Our favorites from the regular menu are the tacos (beef or pork), pork quesadillas, and green mole enchiladas. If you're a visitor to Virginia Highlands, include this restaurant/tequila bar on your rotation - I highly recommend it!
