MENUDO RAMEN Makes Head-Turning Debut at LA Restaurant
A Southern California menudo specialist, Don Chon Menudo, is turning heads on Instagram with the recent debut of their newest creation: Menudo Ramen.
Debuted just a few days ago, the Menudo Ramen takes Don Chon’s traditional red menudo and adds noodles to the mix. Each cup of the order also gets topped off with corn, lime, cilantro, onion, oregano, and chili peppers.
While the traditional menudo bowls Don Chon specializes in contain hominy, the ramen version swaps the hominy for noodles.
Don Chon, located in Pacoima, California, is known for specializing in both red and white menudo, but also makes their own handmade tortillas for dipping. They’re a sister restaurant to Birrieria San Marcos, a restaurant that sizzles on Instagram with their birria creations.
When it comes to the Menudo Ramen, the comments so far have been mostly positive, with folks on Instagram curious to try it or saying that it looks good. Others are curious about the addition of corn to the top of the ramen, while some would rather just have the traditional bowls.
Regardless of how you feel about menudo ramen, it’s definitely an interesting combo worth sampling.
Don Chon Menudo is only open on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays from 8 am – 2 pm, so those wanting to try a bowl should head there then.
