Pozoleria Acapulco - S San Diego

Top pozole spot in San Diego. I grew up eating pozole rojo, this place carries it AND it’s well seasoned. You’d be surprised how challenging it is to find good tasting Mexican food, especially when 1st Gens still remember Como cocinaba la abuelita!!!

This place it a a hole in the wall and it's a bit intimidating but I ordered the pozole verde as I was searching for a good place and I found it near my home. The pozole verde was sooo delicious that I'm hooked and will try other things it was good and the guy there was so nice he even gave me a discount as they didn't take debit card so BRING CASH and I had to go to an ATM but it was worth it. I will be returning and going to tell my friends and family.Vegetarian options: Potato flautas for vegetarians
