menudos

Spicy tripe soup

Menudos is the plural of menudo, a traditional Mexican soup made from beef stomach (tripe) in a red chile broth, often served with hominy, lime, and oregano.

The dish is considered a remedy for hangovers and typically eaten on weekend mornings or after celebrations: We ordered menudos for the whole table after the wedding.
