The best place in San Diego for menudo, hands down. My husband and I have been coming here for years and as much as I'd love to keep this place close to heart, the world deserves to know they're amazing. They offer traditional menudo as well as other food options. I order the large menudo, which is a pretty generous portion. The service is here AMAZING and all of their staff is so friendly. They do get pretty busy on the weekends, but we've never waited more than 45 minutes. That being said, it is always worth the wait and I always leave satisfied. Do yourself a favor and try this spot out yourself!

The Menudo was Tasty but the Chicken Pezole was even better. The only complaint had was the low quality tasting flour tortillas. The corn tortillas were passable. Also wouldn't hurt to offer butter pats for the tortillas.

This has to be probably one of the best Menuderias in San Diego. The closest to the most authentic. I love how they have a bar with different spices, veggies, and salsas. Also, I am quite surprised with how quick the service is and how attentive the staff is. I definitely recommend coming early as the line gets very long. I love the music that they play and how clean the area is. I highly highly recommend coming here of your craving for a good Menudo.

Love their #Menudo but instead of Rojo I tried Blanco. It was tasty and I enjoyed it but I prefer Rojo, The #SopesPollo was excellent #TacoDeBirria I prefer crispier but it was good too, At the salsa bar they had all the fixings for menudo but they should have a better container for the salsas. Cardboard doesn't hold liquid well. You do pay extra for chips and we ended lunch with delicious flan for dessert. We did come at the lunch hour so we had a bit of a wait. Once seated service was very nice and prompt for a table of 10. Will always come back for menudo blanco. I love having hominy in mine

I have no credibility in saying what is authentic or not but this place truly was one of the two best places that I've had Pozole and Menudo. The only thing missing is the whole dried peppers but besides that, I love the food. Place gets pretty busy and can get loud but service is really good. The ladies are so sweet and I love the open cart with the toppings. The tables and seats can use an upgrade but the food makes up for it. Already drooling about the next time I can return.

If you're not in a rush for some homemade menudo then you came to the right spot. The wait is roughly about 45 minute the service is quick once you get seated someone comes by and takes your order for drinks.

Visited on a Saturday mid-day. You get a buzzer to wait if tables aren't available. Waited for about 15-20 mins. Ordered the red menu and the huevos con chorizo. The menudo was delicious! Soul satisfying. You can taste the quality of the tripe. And the richness of the soup. The pata and tendons were cooked perfectly. Husband ordered the huevos con chorizo. He ate his entire serving. Loved it! Definitely the spot for good quality menudo, good service and an overall good experience.

30 min wait on a Sunday morning, not bad. Super packed spot, then it must be good. This location offers not just menudo but pozole, birria enchiladas and more. I was impressed because well I'm not a huge fan of menudo. I really wanted pozole but seeing the birria on the menu I was in a pickle. So I went with pozole rojo, and a quesabirria (which I devoured so no pic) couldn't just take one bite. Good portion on the caldo wish I knew the large and a small price difference is only less than $1 because then I would would've gotten a large. So parking sucks. There's some behind but only 3 spots, if not street parking. Check in, inside they give you a pager. I mean I'm def hooked and I'll glad I found it.
