I went looking for a pozole joint north of Centro CDMX and walked in circles for about 5 minutes. I decided El Pozole de Moctezuma just didn’t exist and walked away. But then I was compelled to check my phone one more time and walked back. I gave a perplexed look to a nice young couple and the man asked, “pozole?” and walked me to the intercom of an apartment building. I buzzed and they let me in. The people inside were super sweet, which shouldn’t be surprising since they’re Mexican — and they also spoke English. I relatively quickly ordered a pozole verde with maciza (the same, leanish pork that’s used in carnitas), with a whole avocado and a cerveza. I had to google a few things to make sure I didn’t get head meat (cabeza) or what not. The waitress brought it out and quickly came back with a big shot glass, asking if I wanted some in the soup for flavor, to which I obviously said si. It was damn good. I had some pozole last week at La Casa De Toño, which is a chain that sort of feels like the Mexican Denny’s (though much higher quality) and it was very good. However, this stuff was next level. Find the place if you’re in Mexico City. Buzz the buzzer. They’ll make you feel comfortable and right at home.
