“ Been here a few times now, on one visit, I had the torta and a gordita. Its really good, though a bit pricey, and the side condiments they provide are plenty. They provide you with chips and salsa as an appetizer. The salsa is really good. Today I had the breakfast special, Huevos Divorciados, I enjoyed them thoroughly. The coffee here is also really good, and they serve it with a nice little Conchita. To go with it. I would definitely come back for breakfast. If you come here for breakfast, before 1030, they have 9.99 specials. A lot more reasonable prices. The food is really good, the service is a bit slowtheyre very busy, but the staff is super friendly and attentive to your needs. Thank you to Christian and Marisol for great service, and Domi for serving us up good. During busypeak hours, its hard to find parking, so come before or after peak hours. ”
“ We really enjoyed the menudo and trio chilaquiles red, green, and birria. However, the cafe de olla was not so great as I thought it would be. But, definitely will be returning. The customer service was attentive and friendly. ”
“ The food is amazing i highly recommend their menudo.. its pretty good very flavorful ”
“ Free parking available, wasnt too busy on a Monday morning. The chips are nice and warm, great salsa. Tried there famous menudo with Pata and nerves. The menudo was very well portioned for a small. A bit salty but not bad. The carne asada plate was also well portioned and very tasty. Aguas frescas, and cafe de olla. Waitress was quick and friendly. Positive experience. Price is reasonable. ”
“ Amazing food! Servi e has been good so far. Nothing special no bad experiences. Place is small but the tables themselves are good. Once your sitting your not cramped. Not a place to bring a big group of 7 youll be waiting a long time for 2 parties to leave. Anything less youre fine and never cramped despite the other comments. Other comments also complain of the small menudo being 18 make no mistake the small menuso is a very decent size i doubt most wont even finish large. All in All this place quickly replaced the Diner we frequented since it closed. My only complaint it the ambiance or decor can be a little more folk or traditional and the flav waters are not natural. If you ask me the Menudo is a must. But ive tasted the guajolotongo is great. Birria is real good but ive had better. Chilaquiles are good. Pers fav is the carne asada. My goodness! Huevo a la jefa is good also even if a bit to tangy. Havent tasted a miss yet. ”
“ Awesome Menudo i try lots of places searching and searching yup! You guys hit it out of the park, long wait but worth it waitress have to recognize the drinks empty fo 20 min other than that Ill be back for sure ”
“ The menudo was delicious the cofe was good service was great all definitely will be coming back ”
“ Its been a very long time since Ive been to a place that has very good Menudo. Mr. Menudo is my new go to spot for Menudo! Highly recommended! Cant wait to go again in a few days! ”
