The best pozole in CDMX so far. I had green pozole, which is made with pumpkin seeds. They serve green or white pozole. You can add on a raw egg, avocado, chicaron, and sardines. The portions are large. They added a few spoons of mezcal into the soup to bring out the flavor! The restaurant is open 2 pm to 7 pm. You need to press a buzzer to get into the building. They do accept credit cards.

Fantastic pozole prepared in the traditional Guerrero State style. The place is completely hidden from the public eye, as it has no signage. The area is quite shady but if you take an uber and follow the address you will see how people are welcomed by the valet personnel and greeted in. It looks like a house but wait to be surprised by the occupancy indoors. Costumer service is extremely friendly. My favorite dish was the pozole verde.

The best plaze in Mexico City to have authentic home made Pozole. Try it also with a shot of Mezcal directly into the soup as it‘s offered by them

Fantastic pozole and very nice service! We split a medium bowl of verde and it was still so much food. Also great lemonade! The entrance feels like a secret- but it is there.

Service wasn't anything to write about, but no complaints. Food was very good, simple, but the style of posole was different from what I've had in the past. Everything looked fresh and clean. Adding sardines was a great touch, servings were large, even for the medium bowl. Look for the buzzer to be let in to the restaurant - it took us a moment since we couldn't find a regular entrance or sign.

If you don't know where it is, you won't find it. Tucked away on a corner with no signs. The pozole was wonderful. Two sized bowls to choose from, medium and large. But it's really large and gigantic. Full of meat and wonderful stuff. Very filling.

If you want some delicious pozole, you must try El Pozole de Moctezuma. It is a small quaint restaurant hidden away in what appears to be a residential neighborhood. There is no sign outside, except on the doorbell which says "Pozole". It's very quaint and cozy if you want an intimate meal. The food is exquisite. They also have an amazing lighter collection in the entrance.
