Warm Up With These Latino Seasonal Foods You Can Find Around LA – NBC Southern California
In Los Angeles there’s never really a shortage of delicious Hispanic or Latino foods, especially around the holiday season.
Seasonal treats like tamales, pozole, menudo, champurrado and atole are just some of the favorites eaten around this time of year.
Although these holiday foods are staples in many Latino households, everyone has their own style and recipe they like to follow.
Here are some of the top rated places on Yelp where you can find these popular Latino dishes:
Pozole is a soup made with hominy and either pork or chicken. It can be made with either a red or green sauce base and topped with lots of garnishes like radishes, shredded lettuce or cabbage, chopped onion and lime.
Menudo is a soup made with cow stomach, tripe, in a broth with a red sauce base and hominy. Similar to pozole, it can also be garnished with radishes, onions and lime.
Some restaurants serve these dishes only on weekends, so it’s best to call ahead to make sure.
