Antojitos Mi Amor Menuderia — Restaurant in El Monte

Good food, great service is my review. Very nice ladies who work here and happy to give them my business every now and again. The food is good, don’t get me wrong, it’s just not special enough to drive the extra miles with so many amazing Mexican restaurants so much closer to my house. What I really wanted to try was their menudo, but they were already out around mid day Saturday. Good news is, it’s likely made fresh daily since they needed to make a new batch for Sunday but the bad news for late risers like me and don’t live in the area is that I will likely never taste it :(. I settled for the Carnitas burrito, which was huge and tasted good enough, but Like I said, there are several places closer to me with food just as good. The al pastor taco was the best tasting of the bunch, but yet again a bit of a drive for something I can get closer to home. The ladies gave me plenty of extra salsa and were so very nice about everything I will have to go back and try them again and hopefully get to try their...

Love the food but make sure you check it before you leave with a to go order. Side order of rice was missing, was at work so couldn't go back till it was closed. Went the next day and they said they couldn't replace it with out the receipt. Today, went and got burritos, ask for no hot sauce, got home and full of salsa. Went back and was told that it was ordered with salsa. So here is my dilemma; great food but crappy customer service. How difficult or costly is it to give the customer the benefit of the doubt? They are a cash only business, so they got your money rather they give you the product or not. Their argument was that there cashier took the order right, so basically telling me that I was lying. I have ulcers, that's not something I'm going to forget when ordering food. Again, they have my cash payment already so there isn't anything I can do. I'm now stuck with food I can't eat and annoyance at how rude the owner was. Is the cost of the ingredients worth...

This is a small booth. There was outdoor space for you to sit down and eat. However, most people just came and pick up the food to go. I saw people bring their own pot to pick up to go food.

I did my research, and found that this place is one of the best places in Los Angeles for menudos. I was here, super early on a rainy Sunday to pick up some menudos (people said that there will be a line and menudos tends to sold out early). It was not cheap. I got a large one with corn for $10. I asked for to go and took it home. Unfortunately, the menudos spilled because the to go container material was not strong enough to hold things together. It comes with chili pepper, onion, lime, and cilantro.

Taste was decent. Nothing special about this to be honest. A little disappointed actually. I would not want to wake up so early and come line up for menudos next time.

Recommend to bring your own container or pot to get menudos to go. Not fun to spill $10 worth of menudo...
