Our visit to Cuco's was forgettable.
Expected more after reading all the reviews. All in all, our visit to Cuco's was forgettable.
The food was barely average; a boring and mushy beef burrito; a shredded beef chimichanga with fatty and inedible chunks of beef that had to be set aside; salsa that may have been homemade but seemed based on canned tomato sauce; tasteless rice and soupy "refritos". However, margaritas and guacamole were good.
The service was barely average; although prompt, they seemed curt and uncaring. Weirdly, the waiter took my credit card and processed before I had even reviewed the check. I never saw that one before.
The location is in a deteriorating strip mall next to a sports bar. The interior is fairly rough, too.
Las Margaritas just down the road on Henderson or La Casita on Bethel are much better choices if you are in this area.…
Agreed - hope this place stays a secret!. AMAZING food - it is a very small location. though but parking has never been a problem so far. My husband & I always sit at the bar - the service is amazing, Tapatia margaritas are a MUST, and the salsa is unreal (so are the chips - everything is homemade). Can't go wrong with anything you order.…
Hidden gem off Henderson Rd!. Always a fan of mexican cuisine, I had to try Cuco's after my friends and co-workers raved endlessly about it. It is BY FAR the best mexican eatery in the city. The margaritas were yummy, the salsa is fresh and spicy. I had the Monteray fajitas, which were excellent. I loved the refried beans, which actually tasted like beans and not lard. My hubby loved the fish tacos and we both had so much food there was no room for dessert. I almost hope this stays a secret; it's a total hole in the wall with limited seating so it could get packed really quickly.…
Best Mexican Food in Columbus. As a native Texan who moved to Columbus last year, I was so relieved to find Cuco's Mexican restaurant. It is the only place I've tried so far in Columbus that tastes like the real thing! The wait staff is delightful and they serve a great Margarita Texana. The salsa is excellent and I recommend the chicken enchiladas. They also serve black beans, which are a great addition to a good Mexican dish. A fun place for the family or even work friends- Cucos is a wonderful find!…
Best Mexican Food in Columbus. My wife and I are from Columbus, but we lived in Chicago for a while, and got hooked on real, truly authentic Mexican food. We were thrilled to find Cuco's so close to us, since we had a handful of places in Chicago just like it to choose from (within walking distance). I had Carnitas tacos and my wife had Chorizo. They tasted as excellent as the ones I had grown accustomed to while living in the Windy City. I will be a regular here for sure!…
