"A hole-in-the-wall in this little market on Cheshire Bridge serves the best menudo that is rich in flavor and color from the gaujillo peppers. It is served like how I remember in Mexico, without corn in the soup and nothing but meat and some bone to provide flavor from the marrow. It is the kind of menudo I like to make at home, which I don't need to do now since I've found one of my favorite menudo houses. They only serve this on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so make sure to go then."

"The carnitas tacos are just like the ones I enjoy in Mexico. Michoacan has a woman who makes the corn tortillas by hand, and she produces some of the most authentic ones in town."

"They make what I think is the best burger in town. I also like Flip (no disrespect there), but I also like a nice greasy hamburger. If you are going to eat a burger, you can’t worry about a diet; and if you are going to cheat your diet, this is the place to do it. It has full-flavored meat, so all you need is maybe a little mayo on the side. The fries are nice and crispy, too."
