Dia de Posole

I don't have an answer to your question, but we ha been coming there for quite a few years and have never partaked in posola. Please enlighten me. Where , when, what is it and is it goid.
Thanks.

Not sure if posole is different from pozole. We have eaten pozole in a variety of different restaurants in Zihua. Santa Prisca is only one of them. You can wear shorts, flip-flops or fancy clothes and drink whatever you wish.

My husband and I usually ask for verde with puerco, but there are a wide variety of ingredients. The main ingredient is pozole - or hominy. It is served with many side dishes of taquitos, chiles, cut-up onions (cebollitas), radishes (rabanitos), limes, cabbage (col), aguacate, oregano, tostadas, epazote, celantro and chicharron (fried pig skin).

Pozole comes from pre-Hispanic nahuatl times. It has been eaten here in the state of Guerrero on Thursdays, which are called "jueves pozolero."

You really need to go to Santa Prisca. We went for the first time in February and it is really fun and the Pozole is outstanding! I never would have found it, but some friends go there regularly. Super music, lots of families. One of the best times we had this season. Try the Mezcal.

This is a little embarrassing.I have been coming to Ixtapa for at least 35 years.I have had posole many times.Tamales Any, lots of places on Posole alley,Salsa Brava.I have unfortunably ,never been to a real authentic Posoleria.This year my daughter and son in law are coming down for 2 weeks and I would love to let them( and me) enjoy the real thing.However I am a bit nervous.What do we wear?Beach stuff,dress up stuff,shorts,long pants ,tee shirts,collar shirts,real shoes,sandals?It will probably be Santa Prisca as it easy on the bus from the Marina in Ixtapa.What time should we go?What should we drink,tequila,mezcal,beer,horchata,jamaica? What kind of posole,verde,blanco,rojo?Is anything, else served ,tacos,enchiladas,tamales?Is there music? Is there dancing?Are there many grigos?Va a sera comodo para mi familla? Gracias

Pozole is served as our comida, and the times for our comida are usually from 2 to 4, siesta time being from 2 to 5 and we like to actually rest for that last hour if possible. If you get there late you may get the dregs or they may be out of garnishes or side-dishes.

I recommend the pozole blanco, in a small portion. I also recommend partaking of all the "fixin's" that come with it. Usually chicharrones, carnitas, taquitos, small but hot chiles rellenos, and totopos. Fine-ground red pepper, finely chopped green chile, diced onions, oregano, sliced radishes, cheese, and aguacate go into the pozole. A small jarrita of mezcal is the traditional way to start off the meal. Agua fresca such as agua de jamaica is also tradionally served.

A picture worth a thousand words:

Me being a Mexican can definitely answer this question. About clothes, you can wear whatever you feel confortable with. Locals like to have pozole to spend time with familly so you should go casual?. Avoid any kind of expensive acccesories such as collars and other stuff so that you can fit well.
If you like spirits you should try mezcal as Chilapans tend to do. Mezcals is supposed to be drunk before pozole is served on your table.
I personally like pozole blanco as Granny used to cook that.
In the pozoleria they serve pozole with "botana" on the side (some snacks to have with pozole) I add some lemon juice, salt if necessary, oregano and chopped green peppers and white onion to my plate. I like to put "tacos dorados" into the soup so that they get soft, then I add some grains and meat on top of a "tostada" (fried crunchy tortilla) and enjoy.
This might sound weird to you but we Costa Chicans like to have pozole with coffee. by the way you can drink whatever you want, there's no rule on this, horchata might be good.

Hope you haven't gone yet!!
