El Michoacano is a small, authentic Mexican eatery that is best known for its menudo, which many consider the best in Orange County. This cozy spot offers delicious, homemade flavors made with 100% Mexican ingredients. The restaurant also serves other items like tacos, enchiladas, rice, beans, and caldos, with caldo de res being a favorite. The hand-made tortillas are fresh and tasty, perfectly complementing the flavorful dishes. Despite its limited seating, it remains popular among locals, many of whom opt for to-go orders. Customers often praise the friendly staff and the clean, fresh ingredients used in their meals. Be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes, and note that cash is the only accepted payment. The warm atmosphere and authentic flavors make it a great place to enjoy with family.
