Always the best homemade food. Menudo is one of the best, right along with Tia’s. You can’t go wrong with the Fajita tacos always served on Homemade corn or flour tortillas. This review is long over due but shout out to Juan y familia for giving us a place that truly feels like home. I’d post a picture but all we have is empty plates!
