A popular local favorite for some of the best pozole (hominy and pork stew) in Mexico City. The Guerrero-style green pozole here has been drawing people from far and wide for more than four decades. A partial photo-menu with tacos and carnitas (braised pork) helps gets things started. It’s three blocks east of metro Lázaro Cárdenas.
