Menudo is to be eaten in moderation due to the fat content. In Mexico it is a staple of night life, especially if you had too much to drink. You can find it at posh places and at modest ones. Funny thing, it Mexico people with a hangover crave hot spicy food and menudo hits the spot right on and calms a queasy stomach.

Menudo is a wonderfully aromatic soup made of tripe, hominy and chili, and is stewed for hours with garlic and other spices. the broth is rich, red, papery, and glistens with fat. It stimulates the senses, arms the insides, and clears the head.
Menudo is served in big open bowls brought to the table steaming and fiery. It is usually eaten in the wee hours after a night out on the town and widely proclaimed to be an antidote for hangovers.
Mexicans brag about menudo's goodness, about how the hot broth with its medicinal condiments, particularly the chili, replenishes vitamins A and C, soothes the stomach, and stimulates the gastric juices to overcome any loss of appetite.
This claims to also overcome hangovers.
