well let me say I have to give this place 4.5 stars.. Sunday morning we woke up needing a little lift me up. aka Menudo para el crudo.
I was hesitant b/c I didnt want to eat it and if I didnt like it it would damage my image of this place. however. i was so surprised.
this menudo is now on top 2 of my list so far for Las vegas. The only thing they needed to do is add hominy, but I can live without the extra carbs b/c the flavor is soo good and they even throw in the red pepper flakes and mexican oregano in a to-go cup. along with your standard limes, cilantro and onion. Unfortunately I do not eat onion and had to throw that lovely care pkg away. I hate waste but there was onion juice literally seeping out. Nope, none for me thanks.
My bf also ordered some kind of beef with peppers in a chile sauce. Yum that was good but that was $6.50 for a little pkg. The menudo was a much better buy @ 5.99 for a quart and we both ate for $6. you cant beat that. he also got half a quart of beans for $1 but the beans were very runny. you're better off buying a can for $1.
We also bought pan dulce - the little piggies. OMG so good and fresh.
I love this place and I feel so mexican when I go here.. makes me feel closer to my roots or something. I gotta say the red chile (salsa) they sell is so good I eat it like soup with my food. its a must try. one day I'll try the green one.. if I can ever stop eating the red one. whatever you do, dont buy chips b/c then it will all be gone before you get to the main course.
