Comparing Pozole across three restaurants — an honest verdict

I ate Pozole at three different restaurants in the same week to compare. The results were illuminating. The use of Mexican chocolate varied significantly — only one got it right. The deeply aromatic profile should be consistent but interpretation differs widely.

pre-Columbian ingredients like corn, beans, and chilli form the foundation. The best version came from an Oaxacan restaurant, which felt authentic. Mexican lager with lime was offered at all three but only one knew how to serve it properly. The gap between mediocre and excellent Pozole is larger than you'd think.
