Menudo is an integral cornerstone of our culture. I call it border menudo because this is the style of menudo we eat on the northern border (southern American border). Menudo changes everywhere you go, this is our version and obviously my favorite. Menudo is considered a breakfast food reserved for Sunday morning family breakfast (whole family). I have been designated the family menudo host and have been making it for years, so if you have ANY questions please ask.
