Thank you, Rob. Only Thursday?

Only jueves at El Profe. Been that way forever.

But you can have pozole any day at Antelia or Any or certain other restaurants in downtown Zihuatanejo.

Can you tell us, Rob. Where Was the photo taken? Enquiring minds want to know.

That's our favorite pozolería called "El Profe" in Coacoyul.

Here we are a few years back leaving stuffed and barely able to walk, as usual.

Hey, you said a couple of years ago you were keeping it a secret...shhhhhhh.

Hey Rob, might you have a recipe for agua de pepino? I love that stuff and would like to try and make it here at home.

I don't have a recipe, but I found this on the internet: Agua Fresca de Pepino: Cold Cucumber Drink

Real nice scene,thank you for sharing,looking forward to a fun Jueves

On the table you can see a small jarrita with mezcal, two jarras with agua fresca (one with agua de jamaica and the other with agua de pepino) and several beers. It was all so delicious I think I actually hurt myself that day trying to eat and drink it all. But that's what pozole is all about!

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.

Since El Pueblita closed, we've been going to Teotzintle near the bus station.

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."
