I have tried it many times before, and it's typically made with hominy, pork or chicken meat, and a flavorful broth seasoned with herbs and spices. It also offers a customizable dining experience with a variety of garnishes like shredded cabbage, radishes, and avocado, although I suppose the specific garnishes may vary in different restaurants. Yes, it has some modern interpretations nowadays, showcasing its adaptability and continued relevance in Mexican cuisine. (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)
