This is such an underrated restaurant! The authentic Mexican food feels like you're eating at your moms house. Really great customer service, prices and delicious food! They now have an ATM available which is perfect for cash only. Highly recommend!

Need a menudo bright and early?
This restaurant feels like you are eating at your grandmother's kitchen. This is really an authentic mexican food restaurant.
Menudo:
Small plate is about $8 (very well served)
Large plate is $10
Try the legua (beef tongue) quesadilla, very popular.
Don't forget to order your Mexican (glass) coke bottle or the delicious CAFE DE HOYA!
If you are coming with a big group (6+) be ready to wait quite a while. The restaurant is very small. The waitresses and cooks are all hard working and very welcoming.
No parking lot available but you will usually find parking on main st or hancock st.
Enjoy! -

Tiny restaurant that is only open for breakfast and lunch. They serve Mexican food, like huevos rancheros, burritos, birria and also menudo on the weekends. It's kind of like a Mexican diner. I've eaten here a couple of times, it actually kind of hidden in plain sight, definitely a neighborhood kind of place, you can blow past this joint easily and not notice it.
The menudo was alright, kind of one note and not that rich or complex as some other places. I'm gonna have to come back and try their birria (they use goat here instead of beef). As far as their other plates, they were decent. I wouldn't drag a friend thats visiting from out of town here, its not really destination grub, but it's decent food and they cook it to order. It's kind of dark and depressing inside. -

One time in Zacatecas, I was excruciatingly hungover. Like thought I was gonna die. Then I had this consume de birria (and a beer of course), and all became tolerable once again. That consume saved my life! This is the birria by which all others are measured.
I'm absolutely not a person who claims that all the best Mexican food can only be found in Mexico. But it's not easy to find great birria (de chivo! none of this faker res BS) because it's just not as popular here as it is there. That said, I happily drive to Los Tres Cochinitos for the birria, con caldo of course. Not fancy, just really very good. Oh, and no alcohol.
I like the menudo too, especially since they serve con pata if you like. Also, choice of with/without maisitos. I try to convince someone to order it so I can share. :P
Not a fan of the tamales; they are rather dry. But the sopes are tasty and served with cabbage. (If I get a sope with lettuce, oh the side eye that I couldn't hide if I wanted to lol.)
Usually there is ample street parking. Also, they sell menudo in large quantities too so take an olla if you're feeding the fam. -

A+ for authenticity! CASH only!!! Our Uber dropped us off, we open the door to enter and the first thing we notice is a sign saying "Cash Only." We walked to 7-Eleven (ten minutes away) to pull cash out. The food was great, not the best I've had but still really good. I was surprised they don't make handmade tortillas.
