Review Los Cucos Mexican Cafe Hwy 249 - Houston

Had a good time eating here. Prices were higher than most mexican restaurants. Food was great. Place was a little loud. They were busy but the music was up a litle too much. ESPECIALLY on the walk in, like a concert loud, yikes!!! We almost left.

The Aroma Of The Food Outside Is What Made Me Want To Vist. I am From New Orleans And One Way We Are Geared To Stop By If You Smell The Delicious Aroma Of The Food Outside And We Also Know Good Food When We Eat It. This Is A Very Busy Location With Dining In And Take - Out Nice Atmosphere. Really Enjoyed The Food.

Food was great as well as service. I got the skinny Avocado meal with chicken, it was very flavorful and I finished every bit of it. I wasn't a fan of the alcoholic beverage I had I only drank half it was more of the juices and soda and as a bartender I felt like I was drinking a non-alcoholic beverage. Overall though we all enjoyed our meals and would return.

Food was great! Better than I expected! They have the biggest menu I ever seen at this type of restaurant! My husband and I plan on going back every weekend until we have tried everything that we want!

Excellent Mexican restaurant, I come here all the time. Friendly staff very quick to get food to you everyone, great atmosphere & attitudes. If you’re in the area stop by or they also have a Mexican seafood place on the other side of the street which is equally incredible.. Maybe I’ll see you there.

The service was quick, prompt and accurate. The food was amazing and had such great flavor! Pricing is on point and the location is easy to get to. Definitely will be going back for these fish tacos again!!

We enjoyed dining at Los Cucos. The server was attentive and prompt, food arrived quickly from the kitchen and the prices are fair for what we received. We had the chicken quesadilla.

We came here on a Sunday morning about 11:45. The parking can be a pain in the neck, but thankfully we were able to secure a spot near the front very quickly. We were concerned that the restaurant would be packed, but Los Cucos does a great job of spacing the booths and tables where it's never crowded; if you are at a table and have to get up to go to the bathroom, you won't have to step over someone. I love the queso here! It isn't super runny, and they add tomatoes and small sliced up bell peppers with onions. They also serve it with a cut up flour tortilla that's been fried and pairs nicely with the queso. The mixed fajitas I ordered came out very good. The chicken breast was sliced thick and had a tremendous flavor! The beef however was a little tough, but good flavor. I know it sounds like nit picking, but I hate when biting into the tortilla of a loaded fajita, and the meat can't be bitten into cleanly so the whole chunk of beef comes out. The price tag is comparable to Papasittos. I feel that the service here is very attentive to your needs... They made sure our drinks were topped off, I never had an empty drink before they would refill it. All in all a good experience.

Wonderful place, and such polite and helpful staff. They were also very attentive to our drinks and asked us how we were doing. The live music was a very neat twist to a Mexican Café. The prices were also surprisingly low for such great quality! Spent a great time with family, relaxing and enjoying our meal.

Food was awesome. Initial server had NO interest in servicing our table. We received no silverware and waited 25 minutes with NO order taken. He was serving a large table, was understanding of such, but there's was NO acknowledgement that he was going to service our table, so we/party if 2 asked another server/waitress to take our order and ALL was great thereafter. I will return, but never will be serviced by that server.

Excellent service and very friendly. Awesome margaritas. The fajitas are very tender and juicy. Everything that we had was very tasty and delicious. Our waiter was awesome, and all the other helpers as well. We had an awesome experience last night.

So many years ago my love for this place blossomed. Not only is the atmosphere amazing but the food is out of this world. Our waiter Joshua was fantastic and attentive to our needs. Bear was welcomed with open arms and the staff was more than happy to make accommodations for all of us to be more than comfortable. I highly recommend the Fish Playa De Azul with the bass and crab. Never in my life have I enjoyed such a flavourful mix of delightful food. 😊 bring your family and friends and treat yourself!!!!

The food was great and the drinks were even better. Can't wait to go again.

The food is sooooo good here! Every time I have been here, we have received good attention. The food sometimes takes a little long when it is a full house but that is understandable. The location is not the greatest because you can miss it if you're not looking for it. I have never seen the place dirty or seen dirty tables for long (those bussers work super fast). I almost always get the Fajitas a la Cucos (called something like that) because the sauce they make that goes on top of the fajita tastes really good and spicy. The portions I would say are reasonable for the price. Sometimes I do get the occasional high ratio of veggies to meat, but I love veggies so that is no problem for me.

Excellent food, attentive wait staff, clean restrooms. Prices are still good and haven't been too inflated.

Had such an awesome experience at Los Cucos in Cypress. I don't even live in Cypress, but I'd heard so many great things about this location and how it was "one of the best", so my friend and I drove over to see what the hype was about. This location is HUUUUGE and is perfect for any party or friends/family get together. They have a patio too which is great for a nice day in Houston! We ordered their limited edition/exclusive "El Jefe 2" margarita and OOOOO it was delicious. This marg was made with tequila made specially for Los Cucos and tasted so fresh and refreshing with lime juice. We were pretty hungry so ordered the family appetizer, which I recommend to anyone dining at Los Cucos with a group because you get to try a little bit of everything (nachos, quesadillas, stuffed jalepenos, and more), and you don't have to argue about which appetizer to order. Then we ordered the Delicioso grilled platter which is hands-down my favorite. I cannot get enough of the shrimp fajitas at Los Cucos -- The seasoning is perfect. Perfect amount of garlic, butter, and different spices that literally have it melting in your mouth. Plus, with the grilled onions and peppers it's just TOO good. The Delicioso also comes with chicken, carnitas, and beef. Again, a little bit of everything. K and dessert...I'm a sucker for the churros so had to get some to go. I was too full to eat them at the restaurant, but they definitely made the perfect midnight snack. Highly recommend Los Cucos & the Cypress location! Trust me, I've had alllll the tex mex you can, and I 100% think Los Cucos is just as good as any other at an affordable price. Lidia was our server and was seriously the sweetest. So attentive, kind, and made sure we knew what to order.

Mon and Tues Margaritas great special ☆ Crispy Taco platter is my favorite plate, with double rice ! !

Half of the food that we received was cold. One plate was so cold the person could not even eat it. The service was poor at best as well.

The Los Cucos on 249 has been our favorite for a few years now. They did suffer a bit of growing pains during the remodel, but the food has remained great. The only problem we've had is the house level. Do Not take a business meeting lunch there. You will not be able to hear a word any one says. Other than that, food is always great, drinks are perfect, and service is excellent. Some people I see there run the servers butts off and are still not satisfied and then don't leave a tip. I say sorry assed customers that would stiff a server after running their butts into the ground.

Food tasted great. The grande burrito was smaller than expected. And 10.00 for a margarita with mostly ice and fruit.. Will eat here again but skip the drink.

The breakfast buffet has so much food and both Mexican and American. Shrimp cocktails, fruit, fajitas, stuffed pablano peppers, pancakes, waffles, on and on. No way you could go home hungry.

I love this place, they have the best service, best of all the food 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼🤪😋😋

The food was awesome as well as the service! We so enjoyed it and I brought my leftovers home four hours away in an ice chest to have today at lunch...still good! Thank you for an awesome experience!

Had lunch here today with my friend and my two kids. We ordered an appetizer and three meals. I got shrimp tacos from the lunch menu and it started out amazing, (except the rice). As I took a few bites of the black beans I started chewing something “tough”. It was some sort of piece of paper. I stop eating them of course and continue my tacos. With a few bites left of my second and last taco, I begin chewing on shrimp shells..... so there goes that too! Brought it to the waitresses attention and of course I have no food to take home with me. I expected some sort of discount since I couldn’t enjoy the full meal I wanted and ordered. Instead they bring me a free dessert that I couldn’t even eat because my kids were no longer cooperating. I feel it was bad costumer service. They should have compensated for the food I actually ordered rather than discounting something I didn’t. I know they don’t care, because clearly they don’t monitor the reviews, but just thought I’d put it out there. Good luck!

The food is great. The only drawback is the noise level. It is so loud, you can't carry on a conversation. Not so bad when you are eating great food, but, still a con.

I’m getting married at Los Cucos... TOO Los cucos.. It’s 2018, anything is possible, and this place is wondrous!

We were charged a 22 dollar gratuity because my brothers family joined us for dinner. When we approach the check in we told the waitress to put us at two different booths because it was to different families we didn’t need to set together and she did. So even thou We sat at two different booths with two different tickets. The waitress still bought the ticket With both family’s on it and we had to asked them to spilt the ticket, again this was two different families. The manager insisted that we were together and needed to pay the gratutity on one of our tickets regardless if we sat together or not. My brothers order was messed up 3 times and by the time he got his food he had to take it to go. The waitress didn’t understand what he was asking for. She didn’t deserve a 22 dollars tip.

Awesome service awesome food. Our waiter was very attentive. Food was hot and delish

My husband and I ordered from door dash because we just started the keto diet and didn't want the temptations of the chips. We ordered taco salads with no taco shell, queso on the side. We got taco shells and no queso. Asked for extra onions. Got none. Asked then to keep the chips and salsa and rice and beans. They sent all of it. I didn't enjoy throwing so much food away. I can understand overlooking my instructions on the order, but I even spoke to someone on the phone to tell her to keep all of it.
