“ Quiet little spot that serves delicious menudo all week long. I don't like the grain or meat in the menudo and usually end up paying full price just for the broth but this place has the option to purchase a side of broth for $4!! Been coming here weekly since. They're breakfast burritos are flavorful and amazing. Kind service, not super fast but it's not a ridiculous wait time. Would recommend. ”
