Summary
- La Diabla's pambazo de carnitas is praised by a Michelin inspector.
- Chef Jose Avila opened Denver's first pozole eatery in June 2021.
- A mother's suggestion led to the popular pambazo sandwich.
La Diabla Pozole y Mezcal in Denver, Colorado, has achieved significant recognition with its unique pambazo de carnitas sandwich, highlighted by the Michelin Guide as one of North America's top offerings. A Michelin inspector lauded the sandwich's expertly prepared tender carnitas and flavorful guajillo-dipped bread. This success stems from a suggestion by chef Jose Avila's mother, leading to a doubling of pambazo sales since the Michelin mention.
Established in June 2021 by Chef Avila, La Diabla is noted as Denver's inaugural restaurant dedicated to pozole, a traditional Mexican soup. Avila, who grew up in Mexico City, aims to share his cultural heritage through historic dishes and drinks, including a variety of tacos and pozole. The pambazo de carnitas has become a standout item, potentially positioning La Diabla as a top Mexican restaurant in Colorado and the sandwich as an iconic Denver dish.
