They have a menu of approximately 10 different Mexican kinds of soup, all served in huge bowls, accompanied by tortillas and salsas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose from the classic pozole or go for something richer, such as the birria, slow-cooked goat in a deliciously flavoured red soup. (I ordered this soup, one of my fave meals from Mexico in 3 months.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a cost of around 75 pesos ($6), it was a clear winner!
