I got there as soon as the place opened. Small seating area, I believe, 4 tables. Variety of Mexican food. I got the red pozole, which was good, but only warm vice piping hot being it was just made. All of the essentials were available. Chile relleno was really good. I also got a potato sope and a meat one. Also, luke warm, and the potatoes had a watery mash potato flavor to it. The sauce on the table is what added enough to make it taste better. When I write this, I compare it to other locations in the area and obviously home-made. So it was not bad but it was not great and the temperature had a lot to do with it. Sure, I could have asked for it to be heated, but I shouldn’t have to. The chile relleno, though, was very good! Waitress was very attentive and prompt. We were the only customers.

Today on 07/23/2023 at 12:28pm I had ordered 2 green Pollo pozoles & when I opened the container a fly happened to be in one of the containers! Maria states my money was refunded so hopefully it shows up on my bank statement tomorrow. Unsanitary business, be careful if you decide to risk & dine at this dump!

I found this place and it said they had the best posole. I was excited to try it , so I went and got some to take home and just when I went to try my first bite it was sooo cold! Like who sells cold posole and tasted like water no flavor at all!. Worst posole I’ve ever had! Never again!

We eat here about 3x per week at the office via a delivery service because our boss loves their posole… He likes the white one w chicken and can eat it daily… I have tried their molé, sopes, posole rojo, caldo de res, Chile relleno, and EVERYTHING I’ve tried has always been ON POINT excellently bold and well developed flavors. Their red posole isn’t see through, their molé isn’t bland, rice is a little salty but it pairs great w the caldos so still a win ! Great Job, we’re here to support you and all of your hard work

Been meaning to hit this place for some time. Gonna be hard to stay away. Pozole, pollo en mole, potato tacos, quesadilla, camarones. Everything was amazing. Took some buñuelos and arroz con leche to go. New favorite spot for authentic Mexican comida. This is where we take visiting family from now on for local food.

First time being there and I’d say its the best pozole I’ve had in a long time. It brought back so many good memories(childhood days)…taste homemade, really fresh for a fair price(NO yucky meat or caldo looking like overly seasoned water…)This looks well cared and made to enjoy. Its a must for anyone looking for authenticity. Not only was it delicious, they have good, friendly staff. I give this place a 10 rating! I will be going back even though its a 20 min. drive whenever I’m craving pozole…

Never underestimate those tiny, tucked away in the corner restaurants. This one doesn’t disappoint. Pozole made your way! You have options of green, white, or red extremely flavorful broth, can choose pork or chicken, and can choose tostadas or tortillas to eat with your small.or large bowl!
