La Noche Buena 7.6
Chinatown
Vibes: Cheap Eats Budget Brilliance Brunch Bliss Spots Hidden Gems Heaven
A small, early-opening Olvera Street counter spot best known for menudo and breakfast-leaning Mexican comfort. Low-key and affordable, it’s a reliable stop for a warm bowl and a stack of tortillas.
Must-Try Dishes: Menudo, Al pastor torta, Chicken flautas

What makes it special: One of the few Olvera spots doing legit breakfast and menudo daily.
Who should go: Morning explorers and menudo devotees.
When to visit: Right when they open for peak freshness.
What to order: Menudo, al pastor torta, flautas.
Insider tip: Add extra lime and chile for the menudo—it wakes up fast.
