"This Eagle Rock restaurant scores highly in our books for a handful of reasons–like their 10/10 name, excellent duck carnitas, and fig mole sauce that is decadent enough to make a piece of cardboard look oddly appetizing. We suggest balancing this smoky and sweet bite with something on the tangier side, like their pozole verde. You’ll immediately notice how cloudy the soup is from the rich pork fat that floats to the top. In fact, this pozole is pretty pork-heavy with generous amounts of meat in each bowl, but we like how balanced this soup is, with tart tomatillos, onions, and fresh cilantro cutting down the richness. This pozole also doesn’t hold back on the chiles either, so expect some open sinuses and minor mouth-breathing between spoonfuls." - sylvio martins
