Eater's Bay Area Menudo Map

Los Panchos
For hearty, huge portions of menudo riddled with tripe, tendon and bits of pig foot. The menudo here also comes with red peppers, onions and corn tortillas on the side.

San Jalisco
Menudo is offered on weekends-only here, and its a solid rendition, served with red pepper flakes, Mexican oregano and chopped onion as condiments you can add at will.

Gallardo's Mexican Restaurant
Here the tripe comes with particularly generous side options: onions, cilantro, radishes, tortillas, cabbage, Mexican oregano, chili flakes, and corn tortillas made in house.

Taqueria Vallarta
We know Taqueria Vallarta has menudo, we just don't know if it's any good here. If you know something, let us know in the comments.

La Taqueria Menudo
Menudo, all day, every day, although some folks say it's not necessarily their specialty despite the name. Apparently, they make a mean Al Pastor too.
