" If you’re looking for a true taste of Mexico, Pozoleria Acapulco is the place to be! The pozole was simply delightful—rich, spicy, and filling! The owner was engaging and made the atmosphere feel very intimate. Don't miss out on ordering their fried flautas too; they were incredible! Definitely returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the service was good, the pozole itself was disappointing to me. It was average at best and didn’t have that home-cooked feeling that I was hoping for. However, I do appreciate the clean and simple atmosphere. Perhaps my expectations were too high given the rave reviews, but I likely will not return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Mexican restaurants, I can confidently say this is one of my favorites. The pozole here is really something special, especially when paired with their vibrant mix of toppings. The owner truly brings the essence of Mexico to San Diego. Although it's a cash-only establishment, the prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes offered. Highly recommend the dish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a hidden gem! I came here looking for authentic Mexican pozole, and I found it. The small no-frills setting might be intimidating at first, but once you taste the food, you'll be in heaven. The green pozole was perfectly seasoned, and the sides like radishes and tostadas complemented the meal nicely. The owner greeted us with a smile and made us feel at home. I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this cozy little spot! The pozole is some of the best I’ve ever had, filled to the brim with hominy and tender meat. The customer service was fantastic; I felt genuinely looked after by the staff. The only drawback is they are only cash, which is a little inconvenient. However, the food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I can't believe I've waited so long to try this place. I had the chicken pozole, and it was both hearty and flavorful. The staff was very friendly, greeting me as soon as I walked through the door. Very clean and cozy setting, although the tables are limited. Don't forget to bring cash, but it's well worth it for the food served here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a great place to experience authentic pozole! The flavors were just amazing and authentic. Service was quick and the owner was very friendly. It's a clean place and suitable for a quick bite. Yes, they are cash-only, which is a little inconvenient, but this only added to its uniqueness. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
