Instant ramen is such a hit these days. Remember when people associated instant ramen with broke college kids? Well, these days, ramen has had quite the glow up. Kind of like cauliflower- instant ramen is everywhere!

The good thing about ramen is that you can customize it to your liking- whether you like some spice, or whether you want to be extra fancy and add some protein to it like egg or meat.

Well, now, El Paso foodies have the option of what flavor they want their ramen, and it's something I would never have thought of! Menudo and Pozole flavored ramen!

As you can see, the packaging looks like it's a regular instant ramen- however the menudo and pozole flavor really stood out to me- it really made me stop in my tracks as I was walking down the grocery store aisle!

Really, I shouldn't be surprised; there's so many flavors of ramen out there that this is probably nothing new to some. But for me, this is a new thing- what a time to be alive!

The instructions said to just add water and the flavors of menudo and pozole envelope the noodles and you have yourself a comforting meal. But does it really taste like menudo and pozole? Well, kind of; it all depends on how you take your menudo or pozole- I can tell you it tastes familiar- but of course, it's not the real deal.

Either way, I would give this another try; actually, my mom's genius idea was to just get regular ramen and add the broth from menudo or pozole to it! Tell us how you like your ramen or menudo and pozole in the App Chat!
