The story the reviews tell

Pozole is a soup born from hominy and meat—chicken or pork simmered into something that tastes like history. Each bowl arrives unfinished, waiting for you to scatter lettuce, radishes, avocado, and lime across the surface. It's been nourishing Mexico since before Columbus, moving seamlessly from weeknight comfort to celebration centerpiece.
