Since that visit I have enjoyed the menudo, enchiladas, nachos, and all these dishes have one thing in common: great flavor and cooked to perfection.
I look forward to Christmastime, when they put out the banner indicating tamales are available! It gives me something to look for as I walk or drive by during the holiday season.
It is so nice to deal with a dining establishment that treats the customer so well both on the phone and in person.
Plenty of parking nearby in both the lot and on the street. Limited seating inside and out.
I first encountered Menudo in 2016 at a restaurant in Azusa, CA called Taco King on Gladstone St. This restaurant was permanently closed, but it still has other branches open in that area. The original one was the first place I ever had Menudo, and I never found any better, even at their other branches.
I don’t have Menudo frequently. Firstly, I am not Latino. Secondly, not many Mexican restaurants sell Menudo every day. I was jogging around that area and passed by this Rosarito. I walked in and ordered Menudo. I carried the takeaway plastic bag and ran back home, struggling with the heavy package swinging around. Before I walked out the door, the chef told me they serve Menudo every day, unlike others that only serve it on weekends.
The Menudo takeaway included the Menudo soup, several flour tortillas, and torillas chips. All traditional, classic, but not special. The Menudo was small-cut, moderately seasoned, cooked, stewed. Nothing special but nothing bad. It’s plain—not in a bad or flavorless way, just average and normal. You wouldn’t call it bad tasting, nor a pleasant surprise.
Anyway, the people there were kind, the food tasted good, but without highlights. You can’t call it a bad restaurant—it was clean and neat, not very authentic, but not bad either. This made me confused about how to judge a restaurant. I normally give a fine dining restaurant 4 stars if the food is acceptable, but I tend to raise the bar for small restaurants. They don’t have fancy renovations, usually don’t have good tableside service, so the only factor left is the food. Then the only judgment is the food itself, which feels somewhat unfair.
Finally, I gave it four stars. It was good Menudo, no shining points, but good.
We ordered the huevos rancheros and birria, al pastor, and carne asada tacos, and they were all good….if I had to make a recommendation, it would be the asada. Our kids loved the fries too!

Thanks so much!
Fries were cheap and you got a whole basket.
Got 2 tacos, fries and a drink for $12.98. great price
I think this is why there are so many different Mexican restaurants.
