Pozole on dia de la Independencia


It was then, and still is a fabulous restaurant. They are only open in the evenings, typically opening between 7:30 and 8pm.
 
 
They have a fabulous variety of foods, although my favorite is the jalisco style pozole.
 
 
Every year, on 15 September they open for a Special lunch service. And every year we have gone, well for the last 3 years. With this year being #4. And we always get the pozole, and we always go with friends Lida y Diana.

I have made pozole before, jalisco(ala gringa) style.
 
 
You may be wondering what that means -
well jalisco style pozole is typically made with a pigs head.
 
 
 
 
Which explains why in all the small markets there are/well were pigs heads. guacala.
 
 
Not for me! I just use pork shoulder.
 
 
What I really love about dona Glorias pozole is it is not covered with a layer of rendered fat, AND you can get your bowl meciza (this is most likely spelled wrong), which means meat only, no fat.
 
 
Here is our pozole table!

OMG, Yummy!

always fun!
One thing different at dona Glorias for dia de la Independencia,- Normally restaurant service is in the front, open air, facing the street.  But on 15 September the front is set up for the take out service and  they open this air conditioned back room for eat in service. 
 
 
 
One other bit of info - they have several rooms full of ceramics for sale; some sculpture type stuff, the barro table ware like they serve on, beautiful blue and white ceramic ware, odd colorful chatchki things.  Some really cool stuff!
 
 
There are a number of very tradional foods for dia de la Indepencia, Pozole being one, Chiles en Nogada being another, and anything mole.
Oh but I do love this annual tradition, lunch at dona glorias with Lida y Diana!

Restaurant Review - Las Cazuelas, Merida

Friend Theresa has a cooking blog, maybe I should start a restaurant review blog; we seem to be eating out a lot lately. Probably because we are out and about a lot lately, but still...

Anyway, we've mentioned Las Cazuelas to a number of people in the past two years. We've been there quite a few times, always on a Friday or Saturday night when they offer Jalisco style pozole. We were there again last night, which is why today you get to read all about it!
We've tried pozole at other places and really feel like dona Gloria's is the the best. dona Gloria is the owner, and chief cook. Las Cazuelas is clean, tidy,
and everything is always fresh, at least when we've been there.
We go most often with friends Lida y Diana; Diana, Tom, and I always get the pozole, Lida switches up and orders a variety of different things.Las Cazuelas is located in Residential Pensiones, at the corner of calles 7 y 68. Friday and Saturday night they offer the jalisco style pozole, They typically open between 7 and 7:30PM.
which is what we go for; ask for pozole con mescisa (only white meat), or else you get chunks of fat and skin which is preferred by many, but not us.
In addition to the standard compliment of condiments the pozole is served with tostada chips, hard crunchy. If you want tortillas ask for tortillas de masa, these are fresh made on site, in fact right before your eyes. If you ask for tortillas de harina they come from a plastic bag. And sometimes, not always you get a bowl cebollas cambray asado (grilled small onions), so yummy!
