EL COMAL 🇲🇽

The Best Pozole In LA

"East Hollywood’s El Comal is exactly where you should go when you feel like you got pummeled by a steamroller and are in need of some hearty soup to patch you up. This strip mall restaurant makes particularly good chicken and beef caldos, and weekends here also include both a spicy menudo with pigs’ feet and some very good pozole rojo. The pozole has a rich, cloudy red broth that makes us wonder why we spent so much money on overpriced bone broth back in 2019. All the pork’s meat and bones release their nutrients and natural flavors to create this chile-infused soup that has some acid, some salt, and a bit of lingering heat that you don’t feel until your upper respiratory system decides to purge itself." - sylvio martins
