Reviewers rave about the Pancita Menudo, a deeply savory and comforting tripe stew. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, soul-warming homestyle cooking.
“I start with the broth as is — it's vibrant, tastes like pancita, naturally thick from the collagen and feet simmered down. It's so savory, meaty, warming, and feels really clean. The guajillo gives it a toasty smokiness without too much spice. Then I season it with lime, oregano crushed in my palm for fragrance, onions for sweetness and crunch, and a drizzle of chili oil. The honeycomb stomach piece has an amazing texture — the oregano and lime enhance the flavor a lot, and the heat of the chili oil is perfect. That oregano really stands out. It takes real skill to cook organs like this without any strong pungent flavor. I also make a taco with a handmade tortilla, dipping it in the broth — the elasticity, the salsa, the crunch of sweet onions, the lime juice, the acidity of the tomato — phenomenal. There's a reason this place has been around for generations. It's warm, comforting, delicious. An amazing place for pancita in Mexico City.”
