El Menudazo, located at 548 Broadway C in El Centro, CA, has quickly gained a reputation as a go-to spot for authentic menudo enthusiasts. The reviews highlight the restaurant's standout dish: their menudo. Customers rave about its rich, flavorful broth and tender meat, calling it the best they've had in a long time. Alba Mendoza especially appreciated the complimentary tortillas and the addition of spicy red sauce that perfectly complemented the dish.
In addition to the famed menudo, patrons are equally impressed by the variety of other offerings such as quesabirria and refreshing aguas frescas. Natalie Gonzalez highlighted the restaurant's unique take on white menudo, describing it as delicious and hard to find elsewhere. The friendly and attentive staff further enhances the dining experience, with many reviews mentioning the prompt service and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for families.

El Menudazo has undoubtedly carved its niche by delivering a warm and inviting experience paired with mouthwatering Mexican cuisine.

First time eating here and the food was so tasty and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I had menudo with tortillas, a jamaica, and a coffee. Everything was delicious. I also had a bite of my mom's quesabirria, the meat was flavorful and tender. The red sauce was very spicy and great for the menudo.

Great food, their menudo is excellent great taste (9.5), the aguas frescas are refreshingly delicious (9.0), their service is top (9.0) very attentive and the atmosphere (8.5) very family oriented. The prices are a bit high but very well deserved (8.5). Pros - Food, Aguas Frescas, Service, Atmosphere and pick up service always on time. Cons - Prices, They open too late (8a.m.) Menudo is made to be enjoyed early (6a.m.) Algo Bien!

Stopped by El Menudazo to try out the menudo. Its my first time beinh here. Upon arrival the restaurant was mostly empty. In a matter of 30 mins people filled up the restaurant. The waitress was very kind and friendly. She took my order and which was a medium menudo and a coffee. The taste of the menudo was amazing. So far its the best menudo I've had in a while. I highly suggest this place if you're craving some menudo. They also have some birria tacos. Overall good experience and very clean as well.

This location has instantly become one of my new favorite places! I got the quesabirrias with consome and they were slightly crunchy on the outside but packed with a lot of meat and flavor inside. Add some onions, cilantro, salsa, and some freshly squeezed lime juice, and you got yourself one of the best food combinations ever known to man. Will be back to try out other items on the menu, but don't wait to try this place out, or you'll regret not trying the food here sooner.
