When Victor opened his tire business in Logan, his wife supplemented revenue (and kept her husband company) by selling home-cooked especialidades in the back of the store. Tires-and-tamales proved to be a winning combination. Victor’s Restaurant soon occupied a wing next to the warehouse.
On the day after our nephew’s graduation, we had a hankering for Mexican food. Most of the group ordered conventionally—burritos, tacos, and tamales--but I couldn’t resist menudos, the weekend special. The tripe was tender and tasty, and the gaminess had been simmered away. A squeeze of lime, a little onion and cilantro, and warm flour tortillas rounded out this deliciously simple meal. © 2008 Stephen Yuen
