"First time back at this restaurant in over at least a year. Really dig the remodeling. It looks much cleaner and spacious. The tacos were awesome as always. Had the asada, chorizo, lengua, and the cabeza tacos--all good! We also ordered the all meat asada burrito for the first time. All I can say is wowza!!! Food here tasted great and the prices are very easy on the wallet. For all the taco Tuesday people out there, they have taco for $1.29 each!!!"

"I like menudo, but I acknowledge it's a tough sell to a lot of people. It mainly consists of spongy, rubbery, chewy pieces of honeycomb tripe (stomach lining from a cow), and this is before you add the obligatory gooey and slimy pata (pig foot) into the bowl. Preparing menudo from the raw will trigger a gag reflex or worse from those unfamiliar with the stench of stomach bile. None of this will stop me from evangelizing menudo when it's done right, like it is at Tacos El Rancho in Westminster. Eating good menudo is like eating life itself -- it gets me going on weekend mornings regardless of how many drinks I downed the night before; the sensation of menudo gently brings me out of a nauseous, head-splitting, hung-over stupor and convinces me that today is the day I will accomplish great things and become a great man. The magic isn't just with the simple broth, which is similar to red pozole -- just red chiles, epazote (like oregano, but more pungent and peppery), onion, and garlic. Pozole does not have the same impact on me as menudo, so I've concluded that it must definitely be the organ meat that makes menudo special. The nasty chunks of cow stomach that have been simmered low-and-slow in the aforementioned broth until they become tender enough to chew will take on the flavors of the surrounding broth like a sponge. There's something about the soft mouth-feel and assertive flavor of this meat combined with the chiles and seasoning that kills hangovers dead. During my early morning visit to Tacos El Rancho, their menudo had me in a hypnotic trance -- I could not stop spooning the broth into my mouth. It accommodated a huge pig trotter in the middle of the bowl, and the lava-like red broth was medicine. Each bite brought me closer to the light. I've maybe had finer bowls of menudo, but I never stopped to think to write about them like this one."
