The menudo is bomb! I’ll come here instead of driving to East LA now.
This place used to close super early despite its hours and even calling to see if it would be open but that hasn't happened in a long time... The food here is handmade and feels like it's a lot cleaner and higher quality than your typical taco stand style place. I appetite their tacos fajatos and burritos and it's honestly the best spot in town
Food was amazing
