El Tapatio Restaurant
Dude.. I had this place starred on my Google Maps for whatever reason, so when I was in the area, I tried it. It was worth it.
Driving from Chino early morning on a whim can be a disaster, especially after circling the seedy streets of Boyle Heights to find parking. Once I parked, it was a short 1 block walk through the shade, stepping over someone sleeping on the sidewalk. Their neighbor Guisados looked appealing, but I continued.
Got there and was served very well. I had a menudo that was perfect. Not an overbearing flavor. Good mix of broth, meat, and hominy. Oregano wasn't immediately served with it buy I asked and received. My son got the Tapatio Plate. Good chorizo, cheese, nopales, pollo, and beans to accompany the homemade tortillas. We each had a Mexican hot chocolate that was perfect. Total bill a little high at $50 (it was about $6.50 for a tiny side of rice and sour cream). I'd go again.
