Menudos Norteños specializes in menudo, and it’s pretty damn good — the kind of good that makes you question your life choices if you’ve never had it before. The place itself is what realtors would call “unassuming,” and what the rest of us would call a hole in the wall. The tables wobble, the lighting’s too honest, and the smell alone could cure a hangover — or cause one, depending on your upbringing.
Almost everyone inside is Latino. The few white folks who stumble in are usually looking for “authentic tacos,” and you can see the moment they realize they’ve made a terrible mistake. Some try to be polite about it, whispering things like, “It’s… interesting,” before vanishing forever.
But if you know what you’re tasting — if you grew up with someone’s aunt insisting that real menudo fixes everything but death — then you understand. This isn’t just soup. It’s a cultural password. You either get it… or you go back to brunch.

Absolutely the best menudo in all of Wichita. Our waitress was over the top nice and made it a welcome experience even with our limted Spanish. We will be back

Was very good. Menudo was on point!! And babacoa tacos are good as well. Maybe my new favorite local Mexican restaurant, I'm from down south Texas, and this place is just as good.

Arrived here from Dalton Georgia needed to get some food in my belly. This place was somewhat packed. Get in. My Lord. The soups we ordered were cold. It's like you order they prep your bowl & microwave it. Very very bad. Barbacoa meat for tacos was not good at all. Again meat was cold . Will NEVER EVER STOP AT THIS NASTY PLACE AGAIN. DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL . NASTY.......
