The Mexican tripe soup flavor instant noodles are also delicious, with strong noodles and a delicious soup.
katiezhang
Nice flavor
Jeg
Tasty well seasoned broth the spice hits the back of your throat. But doesn’t really taste like menudo to me. Tastes more like it when you add the oil. Love the thin noodles. Excited to try the pozole noodles next.
