I have finally found my menudo spot!! I have gone to so many places for menudo and have not liked any, until I came here. Recommend it!!!
The atmosphere definitely brought back childhood memories. The menudo is amazing! The coffee is also amazing. The one thing, if the beans are good that tells about the rest of the food. And let me tell you the beans are DELICIOUS! I FIND MY NEW GO TO PLACE FOR AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD
This place has an Awesome Menudo con grano, sin Pata, I Love Pata,it just takes up the Whole To go cup. My Friend and I made it Menudo Thursdays, never Fails.
If you are looking for an authentic Mexican (Michoacan) seasoning you should visit this restaurant! We are very picky on food and the food from this small but CLEAN restaurant is simply AMAZING! We drive 7 miles but it worth the drive!
Been coming here for the menudo since I was a little girl. Delicious flavor just like my mama’s. We’re from Jalisco. My order “Menudo chico con nervio, sin grano” Small restaurant with limited seating, there’s a waitlist outside the door but if you’re there as soon as they open (which we usually are because menudo in my family is enjoyed as early as possible) you’ll be seated right away.
Best menudo always with fresh hand made tortillas this is my go every time lm craving for a good menudo. Only down side is the line to pick up, you have to stay in line sometimes over than 10 min, they should have an other cashier to pay in the door or one person with an l pad taking care of the pick up orders and to go orders, be able to pay there to smooth the big line. lm sure they will have more business adding one person taking care of this two tasks. 3 starts just hoping someone can see my review, because l love this place.
Landed from Dallas, TX yesterday and the first place I wanted to go to. There was a bit of a wait but for food that's cook to order and the deliciousness of it. SO WORTH IT. The owner and the coworkers are absolutely amazing. Super sweet and funny. Absolutely love it and wish it was also in Texas to constantly be having menudo and great food!
