Everybody always claims a certain spot has the best quesabirria tacos but this is HANDS down the only place to go for the best birria quesatacos ever. The tacos are huge and the consome is delicious with the salsa and lemon they provide. We also got the green, red and birria chilaquiles and they too were so delicious. Ended our lunch with the dessert sampler and although the cheesecake and homemade flan were delicious the chocolate mousse cake was the best! Love coming here as the food never disappoints.
By far the best Mexican food in the area. Everything is so fresh. You can taste all ingredients. Leslie, our server, made me & my familia feel like we’re all familia. Very courteous and friendly. Love this place. Definitely coming back to bring my business partners. Absolutely beautiful. Thank y’all!
The menudo is very good and the small is a great portion. The coffee can do better but the ambience and service were great. Patty was very nice. We came in the early hours e so there was no wait time but if you come later you can wait up to 1hr. Spent $50-$60 for two people
Our Server Diana was very attentive, witty, she understood my dietary wants and assisted in making my plate healthy! She assured that our meals came out perfectly, on time, and without any delays on any additional wants! She continuously followed up with our family to check if we needed anything else, to assure we were satisfied! Our wait time was super fast, beyond what we expected, despite the lines outside, that of course are expected for a great place like this that serves the best menu in town!
Leslie was very kind and attentive. She took the time to explain the menu and favorite dishes. Thanks for a nice first here with my mom!
Savory flavors that exploded with the first sight, sniff, and an explosion at first taste. Devoured Chilequiles (rojo) con Tamal de rajas and Chilequiles Trio with Birria. Cafe de olla was perfect. No creamer or sugar needed. The concha was an added sweet and tender addition with cafe. Definitely will return. Had to order the menudo con para to go. The menudo aromas were so hypnotic. I didn’t want to get a granito on my tongue for not trying it.
Been here three times every single time got the Menudo absolutely delicious super fresh. You can smell it. You can taste it and the customer service is excellent our waitress Alexa this is the second time we get her. She’s amazing very attentive very sweet.
From start to finish, our experience was absolutely outstanding. Everything we tried was extraordinary and full of authentic flavor. My mom’s friend Lupita ordered the small menudo and immediately fell in love with it—she described it as having the perfect kick of heat without overwhelming the dish. My mom, Martha, enjoyed the large menudo and couldn’t stop praising how delicious and comforting it was, rich with depth and tradition in every spoonful. I had the costillas en salsa verde with beans and rice, and wow—what a plate. The ribs were incredibly tender, and the salsa verde had a rich, vibrant flavor that wasn’t spicy, just perfectly balanced. Every bite felt homemade, like something straight from a family kitchen. To top it all off, our waitress Diana was superb. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming, she made us feel right at home and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We left full, happy, and already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
The food is amazing. Best Menudo I have ever had other than my moms … seriously amazing!!!! And the service was great. My server Diana was extremely nice and attentive. My dad hates going to restaurants and enjoyed this place. We will make this a weekly routine. Thank you Diana for the amazing service and cooks for the delicious food!
I had an amazing experience at MR. Menudo, thanks to the magnificent customer service from Julie! She was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Julie went above and beyond and serving everything with a genuine smile. Her warm attitude truly made our visit special. Thank you, Julie, for making our meal at MR. Menudo even more enjoyable! Highly recommend this place for great food and even better service!
Wow, just wow! We decided to try Mr. Menudo in Downey, and it completely blew us away. The food was absolutely amazing! I'm a huge menudo fan, so I went for the large menudo with both pata and grano. It was perfect. The broth was rich, and the taste was just exquisite—deep, flavorful, and exactly what you hope for when you order a classic. My partner had the Chilaquiles Mr. Menudo, and they were also a huge hit. The first thing she noted was the generous portion size; it was massive! But more importantly, the taste was incredibly authentic and delicious. She loved every bite. To top it all off, the service was fantastic. Our server, Marta, was incredible—so friendly, attentive, and really made the experience special. We will absolutely be coming back. Mr. Menudo is a new favorite!
As someone that doesn’t really like menudo this is the only place I’ll have it! It was so good! The portions are huge! We got a large and it was more than enough for two people. Our server was Alexa, she was awesome!
My buddy and I both had the menudo. Best tasty men know that we had in a long while. The only bad thing that we had experience there. Was the service. It was real bad. Took forever to get our food our orders or check. But everybody actually goes for the food. So I guess The waiting my be worth it?
Came here on Valentine’s Day so it was busy. Even so we got seated quickly. Everything was quick and delicious. Our waitress Almendra was attentive, and helped recommend great options as it was our first time eating here. Will definitely be back.
First time at Mr. Menudo ... Been Wanting to come here for a while? Was not disappointed menudo excellent gorditas excellent. The entire vibe was great, but what makes this place pop is obviously the food and its service.Carmen Cristan and Alexa an entire staff was beyond a 10... I can now your tire staff works together. Awesome deal! Definitely be back. I can see now why this place is always packed
To whom it may concern, I wanted to take a moment to commend one of your outstanding servers, Memo. His attentiveness and warm hospitality truly made our dining experience exceptional. Memo made us feel incredibly welcomed and appreciated, showcasing a level of genuine care and professionalism that is rare to find these days. His remarkable service style reflects an art that seems to be fading in today’s world, yet Memo embodies it flawlessly. He is truly an amazing young man, and we sincerely wish him all the best in his future endeavors. Thank you for having such a dedicated individual on your team. Best regards, Sal and Sochil Calderon
Our waiter Abby was really good, food was great. Wait was really long!! We come from 3 1/2 away. But we love the food 😊 Thank you we will come back again and again
This was my first time visiting and I was help by Almendra, she had a great kind attitude and provided great customer service from beginning to end. If I we're to come back it be not just because of the good food but the great customer service Almendra provided as well as the staff. Thank you.
I’m came with my spouse for the 1st time. We got a good table right away. Almendra was our server and she was a pleasure as she explained the menu and offered us all we needed for our meal. We both had the menudo and it was ALOT! I got the small bowl and barely has some! I Ty those delicious fresh tortillas, I was full quick! All was piping hot and oh so flavorful! Thank you Almendra!! We will see you again soon!
This is the best menudo hands down! I absolutely love the menudo with nervio and hold the grano please! It has the perfect spice, flavor and comes with all the condiments to compliment the menudos full potential. 😋 I have eaten at the restaurant once during the week and it was still very busy. I normally order my food to go. The wait to get a table is usually long and very crowded. It would be a great idea to have a separate pick up area for the to-go orders. People crowd around the door and look at you funny when you ask if they are waiting to get their name on the seating list. I'm not trying to cut the line... I just want to pick up my food I pre paid for when I ordered it by phone! Great menudo!
Carmen was my server. She was very attentive. The food is very authentic Mexican, and yes, I am full blooded Mexican. The music is just on point. I feel like I’m at a Mexican restaurant in the motherland. I highly recommend. It’s not just menudo, many other selections to chose from.
I had the menudo and coffee and both really hit the spot. The menudo was very flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, tender meat, just the right amount of spice, and fresh hominy. The coffee surprised me too, smooth and bold, great alongside the meal. You can tell everything is made fresh. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re craving authentic menudo and a good cup of coffee!
Great atmosphere. My server Almendra provided excellent service. They have good verity of choices for food. The menudo was delicious. It also comes with hominy. Definitely returning to this restaurant.
Carmen was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely welcomed. She checked in on us at just the right times, made sure everything was perfect, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. Her service truly made the experience enjoyable. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests. We’ll definitely be coming back and asking for Carmen again! 😊
Great experience at Mr Menudo Restaurant! The menudo was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Abby was an amazing server — friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent food and service. We’ll definitely be back!
Mr. Menudo is a Hidden Gem in Downey !! Delicious home made fresh food taste with a comfy atmosphere and an amazing service. The waiters were attentive and made you feel welcomed and taken care of ! Sandy and Memo had great customer service and pitched there favorite plate on the menu ! The prices were like any other sit down restaurant, and worth the hype on social media. The Cafe de La olla was so refreshing and the menudo hit the spot, full of flavor and large portion! If you are near the area or are looking for a great breakfast/ brunch this is the place to go !
What a find! As a huge fan of Mexican food, I can confidently say this restaurant is one of a kind. The food is simply delicious, and every dish I've tried has been authentic and amazing. The menudo, in particular, is out of this world—it reminds me of the one my grandma used to make back in Mexico. Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. Our servers, Alexa and Memo, were incredibly attentive and kind, making sure our visit was perfect. The coffee and concha is a unique and charming touch that really shows how much they care about their customers. I can't wait to come back!
This was a an amazing experience from the food to the service! Leslie was our waitress and she made sure we were taken care of! The food is amazing and they have so many different options. I had the prime rib Chilaquiles and we also had the asada torta, which both were delicious and big portions! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for an amazing Mexican place to eat!
If you want good food, this is the spot to hit up. We’ve been here several times w/no complaints. The servers are kind and their food is ALWAYS BOMB 🤌🏻🤌🏻. My toddler loves there beans and rice 😂. There’s a bit of a wait sometimes but that should tell you something. Our server “Carmen” is the BEST 🙌🏻👏🏻. Not going to lie, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for 🍻🫶🏻.
If you’re looking for authentic Mexican comfort food that tastes like it came straight from a family kitchen, this restaurant is the place to go. The menudo here is on another level — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The broth has that deep, slow-cooked goodness you can only get from real, traditional preparation, and the hominy is cooked just right. Every spoonful feels like a warm hug. The aroma hits you the moment the bowl lands on the table — fresh cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime take it to perfection. You can tell the chefs pour genuine love into every batch. It’s the kind of menudo that makes you pause after the first bite and think, “Wow… this is it.” The service is just as amazing. Friendly staff, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like family. The restaurant is spotless, cozy, and full of that authentic Mexican charm. Whether you’re a menudo lover or trying it for the first time, this place will win you over instantly. Easily one of the best Mexican dining experiences around. Highly recommend!
Ciri our server was amazing. Polite, professional and courteous. The menudo was spectacular. Only one thing that I would change. More tortillas , they gave us. 3 tortillas for 2 large bowls of menudo. We asked for more and we were charged for 3 more tortillas. We will defiantly be back though.
The breakfast was AMAZING, everything was so delicious, from the Cafe de Olla, all the wsy to the gorditas, nothing will dissapoint you here TRUST ME. Alexa was our server, she was amazing! Always checking in if we needed anything. It was out fiest time here and DEFINITELY will be our forever spot for breakfast from now on. Tamales are 100/10 ✅
We had the menudeo, Gorditas (a corn flour pocket bread stuffed with ingredients) and Chilaquiles (a traditional Mexican breakfast dish made with fried tortillas cut into triangles simmmerd in salsa and covered with garnishes). They are popular and the food is fantastic! Our server was Carmen and she was very attentive.
We visited mid-afternoon and were seated right away with no wait, which was a great start. The menudo was amazing full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I also ordered the café de la olla on ice, and it was absolutely delicious. The nachos were amazing as well, and the portion sizes were just right. Our server, Carmen, provided excellent service. She was very attentive throughout our visit, and we had no complaints whatsoever. I will definitely be returning with my family. Highly recommend!
The menudo smelled a bit like pata. I thought i wasn't going to enjoy it, when I tasted it. I loved it so much. The meat was soft and delicious. It was a bit spicy. I dont eat chili but was able to tolerate the soup. The waitress was hermosa she tended to us very nicely. She keeped coming back to check if we were ok. She was very pleasant. We saw the tic tok drove from Corona. We will be baxk it was good.
1st time trying it came weekday and got seated pretty quickly. Nice, friendly and helpful server Diana! Thank you for your service and help. Definitely be back again right at 8 or after 3. lol. Salsa just the right seasoning. Music added to the atmosphere and not too loud as to prohibit conversation. Brought me back to my childhood.
Costume at Mr. Menudo in Downey. It was highly recommended by a fellow coworker. Been crazing a good bowl of authentic menudo, besides my wife’s. This dish not disappoint!!! We also prefer the chilaquiles Rojo’s with un tamal and bolillo on the side, which was savory, but the chilaquiles could have had a little more of a kick to it. Not bad, but not sure if I would order them again. The cottillitas were tasty , but salty. Comes with a side of rice, beans and guacamole . They serve you chips and salsa what definately home made. Let me tell you bout the café de olla, WOW the flavor tala you back to the mother land. It comes with a side of a concha, which was so soft and sweet. Carmen who was our waitress was the most welcoming and hospitable! She made us feel right at home:) Oh and they sing happy birthday to you and the whole restaurant participates :)) The wait to get a booth or get seated is somewhat of a wait, just depending on what time you arrive. It is definitely worth the wait!!!!!! We will be back for more .
We visited this restaurant to celebrate my mom’s 63rd birthday, and it was absolutely worth the drive. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Our server, Diana, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and truly made the visit special for us. The staff surprised my mom with a delicious birthday brownie and a fun birthday song, which meant so much to her. It was a sweet and thoughtful touch that made the celebration even more memorable. As for the food, everything was incredible. I ordered the tomahawk chilaquiles, which was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. My partner had the chile verde trocitos de puerco, tender and full of rich, comforting taste. My mom enjoyed the menudo, which she said was some of the best she’s had in a long time. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience—great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you Diana, for going above and beyond to make my mom feel extra special 🎉
Almendra gave us excellent customer service Her hospitality from the moment we walked in and made sure every detail to our needs She suggested several items in the menu and we took her recommendation. We drove 50 minutes to eat here and we will definitely come back and request her . Nowadays customer service has been forgotten but she is the best example on how she treated each of her tables . Thank you Almendra 💗
First time here. My husband loves Menudo and I'm not a fan. I'm glad there are other options to choose from. Everything was DELICIOUS!! Authentically made. Our server Carmen was so attentive. Well …
The menudo was great. But if you go on the weekend be ready to wait for awhile. They were very fast to serve and they checked on us promptly.

Arrived about 8:10 and the line was about 20 people long. We were sat as soon as the door opened. Fast and friendly customer service by Memo! The tables were already prepped with chips/salsa and limes/onion/cilantro. Dad loved his Cafe Ola came with a concha on the side and I had a Michelada that was good. We both had the menudo it was good.
We have eaten here many times before this review. The food is always exceptional. The service is almost always on point. The atmosphere is top tier. That being said, why the 4 star review? Let me explain... I don't know if it was a printing error or system error, but the menu price didn't match the receipt price. The staff were apologetic and did fix the issue. However, they didn't do it correctly. It took them a while to figure out how to handle it, and in the end, the $5 difference was taken from the end total, not the subtotal, and taxes were not recalculated. I didn't make a huge deal about it in person, and I still left a reasonable tip (in cash) based on subtotal, NOT total after taxes. I'm pretty sure other customers aren't aware of the discrepancy. I guess it's just the accountant in me. If prices are of no concern to you, you should definitely eat here and enjoy the delicious food! (Photos from a previous visit.)
Very nice place, still christmas decorations up which we love. Festive music! Food was delicious and authentic with complementary chips which were really good. Came with toppings for the menudo which was nice, and obviously like the name, the menudo was rich and perfect on a cold morning. The service was also very good our weiter was so nice and constantly checked up on us. Tortillas tasted fresh and were warm. Yummy experience will be back.

Had the menudo , and the Birria tacos here, it OK it's not really that good but it's not bad either. It's really overpriced and overrated in my opinion. The waiters are nice and the service overall…
Service was very slow probably due to little staff and crowded. They never brought me the extra salsa for chips that I was going to pay for. I had to ask twice for extra lemons. They made a mistake in my food and seemed hesitate to correct my order. Then to top it off we found a piece of hard ahrp broken plastic in the menudo. We didn't say anything because we thought they would think we were trying to get a free meal. It was my first time and a bad experience.
We've been here a few times , the menudo is good but service is horrible. We were told wait time was 25 minutes and ended being texted that our table was ready. waited additional 20 minutes in …

Today l stopped by Mr menudo in Downy. I was ignored by the entrance by a lady with a curly hair which l don’t know if she was the manager and the host at the entrance even do l am handicapped they don’t consider us. I had to leave and go to la Barca restaurant. I had a couple of orders to purchase at MR menudo. To bad l had that experience. Hopefully from now and on you put more attention to customers not just the paycheck. I understand is busy hour but at least great customers. I’m going to spend 300.00 dollars at la Barca and not Mr menudo today.
