Hands down the best menudo in the entire westside! The menudo here is legit, the friendly cashier asked me if I wanted served with grano (hominy), and pata.

I have grown up going to this place. I love their food. The girl at night is so nice. The place is always clean and they have parking in the back. my favorite things to get are the veggie burrito, enchilada plate and root beer. I oove that they give out complimentary salsa and chips for each order ! I wish they stayed open 24 hours like they did in the past. I highly recommend going here instead of Titos Tacos. The food here is more comforting and flavorful and the staff are way nice here!
