Pozole Thursday? Reccomendations?

As I remember from our past visits to Zihua--Thursday is pozole day in Zihua. Any recommendations for great pozole verde? Preferably a place that has other menu items besides pozole.
Thanks in advance!

We like the pozole at La Jaiba Feliz. Listed on my Restaurants page.

We are traveling with a family member that can't eat spicy hot food--not even a little hot. He's not a wimp--but due to oral cancer treatment he can't tolerate spicy hot foods. Any recommendations on La Jamba's menu that would fit the bill for him?

Sure!. Try ENTOMATADAS. Soft tacos with chicken and a salad on top in a tomato sauce. ¡DELICIOSO!
But pozole blanco isn't spicy if you don't put the green chiles or the red chile pepper in it. Most folks who don't like spicy food just add the orégano and chopped onions.

Perfect—thank you! On your restaurant listings it says the hours are only to 6 pm! Is that correct??? Seems odd….

It is correct. Actually, they have been known to close earlier than 6 pm. Gotta' get there early! Breakfast and lunch are typically very busy.

The main meal of the day in this part of Mexico is the comida, usually served between 2 and 4. Dinner is usually a very light fare. Pozole is considered a dish for comida, not cena.

Ahhh--good info to have! We did drive by and yes, it was closed up tight. We had a lovely and delicious dinner at Elviras. Great service, too! We'll go early next Thursday!

Hands down, they have the best huevos rancheros in Mexico. We are there for breakfast at least weekly, year around. Tbe tortillas are to die for.
The pozole is excellent too, and the service and ambiance can't be beat.
A very important detail for us in rating restaurants are their great, clean bathrooms.
There are a number of popular restaurants here that we won't eat at based on this.

La Profa.
A bit out of the way...in Miraflores...
And of course if you have never been...Santa Prisca...but not so much for the pozole as for the scene...
In Buena Vista- Mina's- my favorite- but it's a ways away...

Do you mean El Profe in Coacoyul? But they don't offer anything else besides pozole, and the OP is asking for a place with other choices on their menu.

Nope- there is a La Profa in Miraflores.
Was there last Thursday and earlier this year.
It's a small charming pozoleria- only open on Thursday as far as I understand.
Not sure if they serve other items but I think I did notice they did on the menu.
I hear El Profe is great as well and hope to get there one day...

La Profa is very good as is Teosintle. Teosintle also has a full menu of other great options.

Gee, sounds like they're trying to cash in on someone else's name recognition and reputation. That ain't cool.

We went to Santa Prisca for the first time early last February with a bunch of friends. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and the great band, Zihua Friends, that we went back every Thursday until heading back to Wisconsin at the end of March! The pozole comes in three different variations, and there are a few other options for entrees. For an outstanding, fun afternoon, give it a try!!

Been going to Teocintle for 25 years and it's great. Wonderful pozole as well as a full menu of other great stuff. Nacatamales are the best I've ever eaten. Service is good, the people are wonderful and we highly recommend it.
