- Based in the neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, people come far and wide for the tacos at family-owned Carnitas El Momo, and its beloved owner, El Momo.
The carnitas are made from pork which confit in pork lard and are made up of pork butt, stomach, and skins. These loaded tacos, topped with grilled onions and pickled vegetables, are a labor of love from El Momo, who learned how to butcher and prepare pigs in Mexico from his father before he immigrated to the United States to work as a welder. After sustaining a work injury, El Momo went back to his culinary roots and started making carnitas full time in East LA. Today, with help from son Billy, El Momo’s has won taco contests with dishes like migajas (burnt ends) tacos, and mulitas (similar to a quesadilla). El Momo’s legacy has no end in sight, and the family works hard to provide positivity and refuge for the community it serves.

Feed the homeless no questions asked these people deserve every piece of their success amazing
Matthew Moser I wanted to go for the food that has to be the best looking Mexican food I’ve seen and I know my Mexican food. But after they said that I’m definitely going one day
Matthew Moser send homeless to work so they can pay for there food because there are lazy and drug acti
damian lillard true
They wouldn't have much to give the homeless if I lived near that place.
“We’re on a mission “
“Till the wheels fall off”
Much respect to MOMO
literally what i said to myself
Momo Jr.
Or hes out of dessert lol
Asi somos los mexicanos hasta que la carreta aguante
✊🏽 RESPECT TO THAT MAN!
Noticed how the whole time he sounds proud of his dad.
Jovanny Rios yeah?
Yup
Came to watch a taco video, left with a life lesson.❤️
And?
I be too if my dad make bomb ass tacos
I loved what Lupe Diaz said: "Nobody leaves here hungry." As a woman who was homeless on the streets, she is absolutely correct. A lot of Hispanic restaurants fed me when I was living on the streets. Big props to this family.
Props to you for overcoming that obstacle. Literally inspiring.
If it isn't insensitive,how did you become homeless might I ask?
in a mexican household when your father cries because hes proud of you that is the ultimate approval
@Billy Bob idk I'm not of any other culture nor ethnicity I wouldn't know
Así es carnal
I almost cried!! Y si! Me da mucho gusto! Ive always had mi raza encouraging anyone to do better! When he cried that he wants to help people like they have help him.. I almost started crying! He reminds me of every strong man figure ive ever came across.
Facts
@Billy Bob In macho mexican culture a man never cries unless, he had to much tequila and someone done turned up some Chete. So yea BIG deal if your mexi papa crying cause he so proud of you. Meanwhile Mr Johnson crying cause his wife left him.
The best part was we don’t let anyone leave here hungry with or without money 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 humble family
Hospitalidad mexicana at its best
I've been there. To their house. If you're waiting in line, they hook you up with a taco 🤤
Nothing more powerful than seeing your dad cry, cause he is so proud!
He didn't admit it he said it's a stroke symptom
he wasn't crying bcuz he's proud, he was crying bcuz he feels sorry for himself bcuz he's sick and he don't feel it's right for him to be sick bcuz he help everyone that don't have money, to a free sandwich, meanwhile he's selling pork like crazy and pork is an abomination unto GOD ( Lev 11:7) +( Isaiah 66:17) other than that, he's a nice guy.👍
@@summerwinter2864 🗣️ok Summer's Eve,GOD said everything he made was Good. He told Peter that in the New Testament 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@stephanieduncan9143 😃 no Duncan donuts, the LORD didnt tell peter any thing he eat is good. bcuz if that was true, why did the prophet Isaiah prophesied that when the LORD come back, he's coming with fire and chariots, to consume all of them eating SWINE'S flesh and the abomination of the mouse ( Isaiah 66:15-17) and by the way, Isaiah's prophesies were 100 % everytime, Isaiah was the main prophet that Christ quoted when he was on earth. eating swines flesh / pork is an abomination even until Christ come back. but if you got a scripture that say differently, please come forth with it. and if you're thinking about hiding behind (Acts 10:11-15) you might wanna read (Acts 10:28) first, bcuz that verse explains what Peter's vison was about and Peter's vision wasn't about food, it was about the men he was about to meet up with. so peter wouldn't view those men as common or unclean. bcuz those men were cleansed by the LORD.
@@stephanieduncan9143 its so quiet i hear crickets, do you hear crickets, i hear crickets?? 😃
When the dad cried being so proud of his children. I’m not crying you are 😩😩😭
Yeah that really came out of nowhere
You crying? No I was cutting them onions 😂 😅😭
I cried 😰
I wish my dad could do that for me =(
Now I just wanna make tacos till my dad is THAT motherfucking proud of me... Good people, good food, good show.
Immigrant parents like these ones are real super heroes.
StoneLax420 Native American parents*
balls bag Are you dumb? Yes, ingredients mixed within the cultures but tacos are 100% Mexican.
With the simple fact that many of the ingredients that make up a taco didn’t even exist in the old world(Africa,Europe, and Asia) proves it.
Corn, tomatoes, avocados, chile peppers all native to the Americas and weren’t found in the Middle East or Europe. Spaniards introduced native American peppers to south Asia in the 1500s. South Asia has black pepper but it’s different to the ones in the Americas.
Native Americans(Mexicans) have been making tacos for thousands of years before any european or middle easterner even thought of getting on a boat across the Atlantic.
Tacos in their modern form are a mixed food heritage. Pigs, cows, chickens and cheese were introduced by Europeans, spices from other cultures (cilantro, cumin etc.), but the tomato, avocado and corn tortillas were native. Modern Mexican cuisine is an internationally sinpired cuisine much as is modern Thai (chili peppers etc.) and many others. Ain't no shame in that.
fmlAllthetime You are correct the Americas didn’t have beast of burden back then. But tacos were made for thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived with meats that weren’t from animals from the old world. I agree that modern tacos are a mix of cultures. Another example is Italian food. Spaghetti and pizza would be very different without tomatoes from the Americas.
Yea legal immigrants.
"if you don't work, you don't move forward" If only everyone would understand that.

Getting to know other cultures is a beautiful thing man even if you agree with it or not it gives you a better understanding of the people we share the world with.
Being Jewish and I can tell you, G-d doesn't care. He put the animals in this Earth for a reason, Salam, SHALOM.
Oh man as a Hispanic I can say all missing out on something good
You can probably get close to this if you ever have a chance to eat Tacos de Suadero (is basically beef cooked in beef fat) same as Carnitas (pork in Pork Fat) confit is the cooking term
@@memguillen2323 he's Muslim dude, respect the fact he dont eat it
When your father cries out of pride of his son....as a mexican....you have reached ultimate accomplishment......BTW these tacos are fire...I've had both carnitas from Michoacan and momos and they truly live up to the cultures standards they would still be full of business back home they are truly good 👍
I am not Mexican, but I hope one day to be proud of my kids as Mr. Mono of his son.
Facts, this place is out of this world.
as a chicano man in his 40's, I've yet to reach that level.... sigh.
Bro if you’re dad ever cries of being proud of you especially if they’re Mexican dads you know they’re proud of you and honestly it’s enough to make a grown man cry

Chris Worthington Race & Cultural Heritage are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. If you knew the difference you wouldn’t have to question the comment. Watch the video again.. it clearly means just as much to them for the same reasons it means to me. I am very proud of where “I come from.” It just so happens they share “my same roots”. You wouldn’t have said anything had this been filmed anywhere else but America. Eat a Taco and go read a book.
Omg, when he cried speaking of the love he has for his children I teared up. This was such a wonderful story of not just a business but of a family and their version of the American dream.
That picture they chose to show dad when he was young XD
😬😬😂
Why does every Mexican dad have one of those photos😂
Filipino dads too 🤣
They hoed el momo so BAAAAD bro lmao
The son was made twenty minutes after that picture was taken.
When the Dad started crying 😭😭😭😭. Blessings to El Momo fam 🙏🏻
that got me too
That’s what’s up man, the old man crying almost got me in tears. That’s what’s up.... a father seeing his kids be successful, I know I’ll die happy seeing my kids feeding the world.
After watching this vid, went directly to LA and ate 10 tacos, THE TACOS WERE SOO GOOD I WAS ACTUALLY CRYING!Tacos el Momo are amazing as well as the crew; viva México cabrones y michoacán!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
"if they can't pay we give them tacos and a soda". wow! congrats and best of luck to them. Tacos look amazing
This family deserves every blessing possible. So much respect for them and the morals they carry and pass on.
Yes sir. Hard work and service makes for great society. I started showcasing many LA restaurants like these on my channel to help restaurant owner's get exposure. Good food should not go unnoticed =)
Rockstar Eater wow im glad u advertised!! ive subscribed =)
Incredible family. This is AMERICA, a diverse group of people working hard and spreading kindness.
América es un continente. :)
Diego Candia lmao
I don't know what it has to do with "america" but ok ...
Red Boss I think they’re talking about how many Americans dislike Mexicans/other races and say they don’t work or contribute to society.
This is the world america ain't special
“If you don’t work, you don’t move forward”. Great mentality from the ol’ boss. Great food, great people. Love the Mexican culture and people. Saludos de Holanda
Praying corona won’t affect this family’s business to bad
right?! im about to drive by and see if they are open lol
I was thinking the same. I would hope not. There's still a way to keep open, as long as people have masks and maintain distance
highly doubt it, Mexican food is food of the Gods.
It hasn't. They do pick up, they still sell out.. They are also working on a restaurant in NY.
No man, nobody stops the tacos Ahahaha
Hard working people like this whole family are the backbone of America I have a lot of respect for them
Bro, after this episode. “El momo” is about to have a line around the whole block 🙌🏽

Much success and blessings to this family.
THIS right here is REALLY what Hispanic culture represents....honesty, hard work, and family
Bless you guys. May god grant them good health and wealth.
You can tell his parents live unconditionally and the love they express mirrors that philosophy. Feeding those that are hungry simply because they are hungry. Truly appreciate to see business owners displaying this kind of love and gratitude to their customers. I hope they have infinite success for many generations to come.
As I am someone who is Filipino and has family and friends that are Mexican (like all my friends are mexicans), I always applaud and appreciate their hard work and tenacity. They are not only they are humble, but they treat me like I am family and I couldn’t ask for more from my homies! Much love! You guys are a different breed!

This is exactly how my grandpa raised my dad and how my dad raised me. Always make more than enough food and anyone is welcomed. I learned early that it’s not a common trait among people to always offer more than necessary even if you can hardly afford. I grew up around many people where you had to watch how much you ate so that there was enough food for everyone and I wasn’t raised with money at all but my dad was always the opposite of that because his dad taught him to be like that. I learned it was rude to offer food if you couldn’t offer it to everyone and have enough for everyone. Next time I’m in SoCal, I will definitely stop by this place.

I haven't been to all the taco spots like ave 26,Leo's taco truck or tire shop those 3 I wanna try well now 4 with momos but the 1's I have that were on my bucket list were los poblanos which I highly recommend especially the asada & the chorizo.
