“Listen… this pozole is so good it started family drama. I got the Mixteco and it absolutely blew my tia’s pozole out of the game. The seasoning is CRAZY. It’s Oaxacan style and packed with flavor. I took one bite and immediately knew I was ruining every future bowl of pozole for myself. This place is a true hidden gem. If you’re craving pozole, come here. Just be prepared to become a regular because I’m already planning my next visit.”

“Update: I still love it here!!! People kept telling me to try this place and im happy I did. I got the Verde pozole with pork. It was a huge portion. They also gave me tostadas, chicharrone and the dressings. 10/10. I will be back! Horchata was the bomb!”

“The pozole here is fire ! I only like my moms, but this one is pretty fire. They give you a big ol’ pozole bowl, with tostadas, chicharron, Aguacate, limones, cabbage, rabano, Cebolla, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF INCLUDED. If I want a pozole and mom can’t make it, I’m coming here! Service was great and very attentive.”

“10/6/2024 Hello there! Im going to tell you the story of my experience at Pozoleria el Mexicano. Let’s talk about the food. The sopes were amazing! It also comes with pumpkin or sunflower seeds. I can’t remember which one. The fries were also good. Tasted like any other fry you would have. The service was good. There were checking on us. They brought the stuff on time. Also they didn’t mess any of our orders up. The atmosphere. They had good music and that’s it. Nothing special, but nothing bad. The place looked clean and tidy. But nothing special. Overall five stars. Great food. Awesome Service. Normal but clean atmosphere! Thank you!”
