Hidden GEM ! This is now My favorite spot to eat Menudo! The meat is very tender and the broth is super tasty! IYou get it with warm Handmade tortillas, absolutely must try if you are in the area. Will not disappoint. I also had their Champurrado and it was hot and thick very delicious definitely recommend trying. They have a large variety of different foods on their Menu, the Service is Great! They are very friendly and will be coming back in to try more of their menu options.

So good!!! Masa preperada sold here! Had the Buche burrito with the verde salsa. Amazeballs! Key to this place is the people. Family run, supper friendly, clean and seating indoors if you want to eat there. Making my Tamales tomorrow ps, I don't know what Buche is, but it is delicious.

This is the third year that we've ordered our masa preparada for tamales from El Mercadito. It's affordable, convenient, and (most importantly) delicious! Christmas is prime tamale-making season, so you do have to be prepared for a wait. We always order a few days ahead of time and this year, we needed to order in person. They have previously taken orders over the phone, but we couldn't get through this year (I suspect that they disconnect the phone because of how busy they are). Ordering in-person takes some time, but it's worth it! Even though they're clearly slammed, the employees are always very friendly and kind. The masa has great consistency and always works well for us. We love our annual trip to El Mercadito!

My favorite stop during the Holiday or anytime really. Miguel and family run a nice restaurant and store for my annual tamale supplies. I've been coming to their store for over 30 years and love the hospitality and the food. I always make a special run for my masa and make sure to grab a breakfast burrito! Stop in and say hello!

Very basic setting. Like going to a mom and pop store. But instead it's your grandma's house and she has food for you. Great, I'll have lunch every time. Food was delicious. Service was good. Basic metal chairs and tables.Driving through town but will return on the way back home.
