Pozolería Tía Calla is a small, no-frills kitchen in the historic center of Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, focused entirely on pozole, the hominy soup considered one of the state's defining dishes. The menu covers both pozole blanco and pozole verde, served with the traditional garnishes of oregano, chile, onion, and lime, alongside simple sopes as a side. The dining room is plain and functional, with a handful of tables, fast turnover, and a mostly local lunch crowd rather than a tourist-facing atmosphere, keeping the noise level lively but unpretentious. There is no wine or cocktail list; the drinks are limited to aguas frescas, soda, and beer. Reservations are not used, and the kitchen operates a straightforward lunch-through-early-evening schedule, so visitors are best served by arriving during the traditional midday meal window for the freshest pot of pozole.
