"Run by Tammy Rivera, who worked 14 years packing apple crates before opening the restaurant in 2005, this place is best known for its menudo—a traditional breakfast stew of cow’s stomach in a red chile base—served with onions, cilantro, jalapeño and from-scratch corn tortillas. Another popular local pick is the slow-roasted birria (goat or mutton) sourced from Mercado Los Amigos; Rivera says her cooking reflects the flavors of her native Guerrero—using chiles like guajillo, mulato, pasilla and ancho as well as garlic, cumin and cinnamon—and she personally prepares the dishes and keeps her recipes secret." - Kelly Knickerbocker
