I highly recommend Menuderia Maria, best menudo in town. The service is great and friendly, this restaurant is 10 out of 10 for me!

Authentic! Delicious! Friendly, great service. Clean, welcoming, and full of heart!!! As a SoCal original, I miss the flavors of authentic, Mexican menudo. Here, you can tell them how you like your Menudo; red or blanco, with or without hominy. Their tortillas are made on the spot. And all their recipes are from the chef, Mom. We are are not gate-keeping this amazing cozy, restaurant. Let's support our local entrepreneurs. MUY delicioso! read more

Absolutely incredible spot for Mexican soups! The prices might be higher than you're expecting, but the portions are massive and can feed 2-3 people. They're hearty, warming, and flavorful. The staff are sweet and very quick. You order at the counter and then sit anywhere. It's a smaller space but didn't seem too busy on a Sunday afternoon. My friends and I got the Caldo de Res, Pozole Verde, and Menudo Rojo. All of them were hits--my Mexican friend said the Menudo was one of the best he'd ever had. And they all paired so well with their fresh homemade corn tortillas. Definitely a hidden gem and I'm dying to come back and try their tamales. read more

This is a tiny little establishment off of Hwy 516 and Pacific Highway. Blink and you will miss it. And you should not miss this place. The menudo was excellent. Very flavorful, full of tripe and you can order it with or without hominy. Mine also came with a pork knuckle but my companion's had a huge knuckle with a ton of meat on it. I ordered mine with hominy. Prices were a bit high but the portion was well above average. Be forewarned, the menudo came with the customary chopped onions & cilantro and lime. But they also add a small vial of hot sauce. I like spicy but that stuff lit me up!!! Be very respectful of if. Extremely friendly service. I would give this a 9.5 out of 10. read more

I'm so sad that I've only just discovered this delicious gem! I love menudo but rarely get to eat it because there aren't many places in Snohomish that have this authentic Mexican dish. Customer service here is warm and welcoming, and the same can be said about the food. We got menudo, birria, and chicken enchiladas and everything was amazing! My favorite was obviously the menudo, which wasn't too gamey and seasoned well. The birria was also delicious, with a rich broth and perfect with their salsa macha. The chicken in the enchiladas was juicy and everything balanced the plate, I probably would skip the sour cream next time if I got it again though. Menudo was so good that I had to get another one Togo since I live so far away, and I'll be dreaming of it for weeks to come! Highly recommended :) read more

All of the food is always hot and served quickly and with such friendly service. This is a great family restaurant! Prices are reasonable, menu has plenty of choices for both food and drink. The staff were especially patient with all my questions about the menu and Mexican food as I am so unfamiliar. Its the kind of place where they remember you, remember what you drink and what you like to eat. Will definitely return again. read more

This place is overly priced, I paid $34 for 4 tacos and 2 sodas no rice and brands included. $22 for chilaquiles and had to pay extra for eggs. At these prices the rice and beans and eggs should been included in the order. The lady was upset because I didn't tip them. The tacos were supposed to be shredded beef they had potato with a pinch of meat. Very disappointed food was bland and I feel like I was ripped off. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for their menudo and finally got the chance to try it. It was delicious! We also got a jugo de naranja natural, agua de jamaica, tacos dorados y papas. Everything came out warm and pretty fast. It is a bit tiny inside due to how busy it can get, but we were able to get a table right after ordering. They clean the tables really fast! Will definitely be back read more

The owner was so nice and helpful with menu. Eveything is homemade and the pozole verde was delicious. Nice music and the service was amazing as well . He gave us 2 free sopes since it was our first time and visiting from California. I will definitely come back here on my next trips I give the family and the restaurant A+ !! Thank you again for the great food and service ! read more

The experience was terrible. I ordered two extra-long orange juices and instead of receiving natural juice, I received orange water. If they don't have enough to fill the extra-long juice, they shouldn't sell it. They charged me $24 for orange water, which is a rip-off. read more

The food here is delicious I would highly recommend! If you want Caldo de res get here earlier in the day we've come twice and they are sold out near closing time. The service here is really good, staff is friendly and helpful. The overall price for food is pretty $$$ high but in my opinion it's worth it. I would definitely come more if I could. The ambiance is overall nice but nothing special. read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food. Tastes home cooked. Just a little pricey but worth it

DMAN it all!!! Best menudo ever!!! Blanco? Rojo? With or without hominy beans? Who gives all these options?!!! Menuderia maria does! I swear their tortilla are freshly made as well or they did a great job in fooling me. Went here a few times and it was the same cashier guy. The gentlemen's is an exemplary example of an employee who enjoys his job! So courteous so welcoming! I think he might be an owner in some form but it really shows he cares about the business! Ambiance is as expected of a hidden gem. I do not compare a fine dining restaurant's ambiance that is not equivocal to the food being serve. For example, We all know taco trucks serve the better taco than any establish dine in restaurants and the ambiance of a taco truck should be judge accordingly. read more

Great little hidden gem, their menu is limited but everything they offer is made from scratch with love and care. My husband and I tried the red and green pozoles, both delicious. Our kids had the tacos and the enchiladas with green sauce. I tried the tacos and they were crispy and delicious, but I didn't get to try the enchiladas because our teen cleared his plate quickly! He has asked to go back several times already. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Oh and yummy horchata! Definitely recommend trying this place if you're in the area. read more

Great food! This place came recommended by a coworker. I miss my grandmothers menudo. Its a pretty high standard and many places I've been to I've been incredibly disappointed in their menudo but this place does it great! read more

Awesome Birrieria, great service the place was very clean, friendly and they were very good and fast. The food was awesome and tasted so good, as well the tortillas are so soft. OVERALL comida chingon read more

WARNING! Solo comida Mexicana no colonizada en este establecimiento. If you have been to Menuderia Don Vicente in San Diego, CA, you'll recognize the menudo and menu. Maria worked at MDV for 8 years before moving to Washington. This place has the best menudo, pozole, and caldo de res in Washington, probably because everyone else too scared to stay authentic. Tortillas hecho de mano were fresh and toothsome, menudo broth was rich and homogenized, the salsa was earthy, and the rice and beans were fresh. The tamal was prepared traditionally with corn husk tied ends. It wasn't fresh and had dry hard ends. Menudo may not get the hype, that birria has had the last couple of years. But, those of us in the know.....knows. You feel me? Location is small and in a shady area where criminal elements congregate. They plan on relocating after asking the city for help and not receiving any. Service is exceptional. read more

2 of us split a Menudo Rojo and an order of the Dorado Tacos. Both were excellent. This style of tacos was completely new to me, and the most interesting I've had. They are small, homemade tortillas folded over with with a thin layer of potato and shredded beef, then fried, served with lettuce, pickled onion, and avocado on top. No turning your head sideways for these tacos. It wasn't so busy when we were there for lunch, and we got a friendly introduction to the food from the younger fellow who appeared to be the owner. Simple ambience, and the parking is easy to drive past if you don't know what you're looking for. But the menudo is the star here. Recommended. read more

I moved back to Seattle 5 years ago. One of my favorite dishes is Menudo. I search for menudo anywhere I travel the US and have done so since the 1980s. I have had menudo a half dozen restaurants in Seattle with only one that was just a tad above average quality. That's until now, when I found there's a small restaurant in Des Moines, a small suburb south of SeaTac. Menuderia Maria. I understand they've been there 5 years! Damn! Menuderia Maria is a small restaurant that seats probably 25-30 people, modern newer building on the main level of an Urgent Care business sandwiched on the other side by a donut shop. It's very hard to see the business. There's a sign on the building but it's obscured by a small tree. Park only in the lot for the Urgent Care, not the Donut Shop. I ordered the large Menudo Rojas (they have the white version as well). Ordered everything in it too and to my liking, they do put hominy in! Yes, plus a pigs ankle, perfect for enjoying the cartilage. The soup comes with excellent corn tortillas on request along with chopped onions, cilantro, a hot chili sauce and a whole lime sliced in half. Dried oregano and pepper flakes are on the table to add in as well. The soup was delicious. Very good beef flavor soup stock complimented by the red sauce they use. With all the additives I put in, the soup was fantastic. All the tripe, cleaned of fat and was cut in small bites size pieces were tenderly cooked. A cold cerveza was on the side and tasted great as a compliment to the soup. Twice now I've been there in a week. Definitely local knowledge customers primarily. They're menu is small and limited but looks very good. I will branch out next time in, but first, I had to get my fill on the best menudo in Seattle by far! read more

I drove down from Edmonds to try the menudo rojo and the machaca with beans and grilled potatoes. I opted for no hominy in the menudo. I really enjoyed both dishes and I have to say the corn tortillas are amazingly thin and fluffy. Overall the experience was excellent so I will go back again. The service was above average, which is also a huge plus. read more

Food service is the best and the food is delicious. Very friendly people and they put all the effort into making my experience better each time. I recommend the Birria, chilequiles and the pozole! Very authentic Mexican food read more

New favorite Mexican spot. Super friendly, enthusiastic, passionate service. The guys at the counter told us, "It's my mission to teach people about the great food I ate growing up". He was so kind and patient with my kids and gave us some stellar recommendations. I had the best enchilada of my life (with a tangy green sauce... so goood). Everything tasted really fresh. This place has heart. You should check it out! read more

Stopped in on the way to the airport to leave from a weekend of Bachelor Party festivities! This was the perfect way to end the trip. Especially after feeling the way we were from all the beer and poor decisions. This was as authentic as authentic gets. I ordered the beef blanco and it was more than enough for one person. The serving sizes are big so remember that if you're going in for a one man job!it was a tad pricer than I am used to but that's Seattle for you so I'm sure it's average for the area. The staff was friendly and great! The area was clean and modernly attractive. A great stop if you like menudo! read more

The owner was very friendly and nice. I got some green pozole to go. It tasted nice but I felt it was overpriced for what I got.

Delicious warm food for a cold day! And a side of tortillas! The customer service is amazing! read more

The food here is so good. The menu is small which gives them the advantage to make the items on the menu to perfecfion!!
