Mexican restaurant · Chula Vista

"This small chain from Tijuana, in a Chula Vista strip mall, specializes in Guerrero-style pozole blanco (pork and hominy stew in “white broth,” which is actually a clear soup with accents of garlic and onion) and antojitos (quick, casual snacks that are often corn-based and fried). It also offers a pozole surtido, made with a mixture of pork jowls, ears, and tongue. One of the best parts about ordering up a piping-hot bowl of this flavorful soup is topping it off with all of the fresh fixings. Don’t be shy with the squeezes of fresh lime juice, sliced radishes, onions, and cabbage. A crunchy tostada can serve as a vehicle for scooping up the grains of hominy and tender pork. You also can’t leave without trying the crunchy potato tacos." - Kristin Díaz de Sandi
