“Cuco's was established more than 20 years ago, by three brothers from Mexico, Juan, Alejandro, and Roberto. The Menu at Cuco's features their mother's and grandmother's Family Recipes. This makes dining there a unique and authentic experience. Cuco's is one of a kind. The cuisine is outstanding and reasonably priced, with very large portions. The experienced staff are all very friendly and attentive. Many staff members have been serving at Cuco's since the beginning of the restaurant. Starting with one storefront in the building, they have expanded to include several additional, adjacent storefronts. Their business and reputation for excellence have grown accordingly. The decor and ambiance make you feel as though you have stepped into a lively and popular restaurant in Mexico. This includes Mexican music, and the televisions show Mexican cable channels. Cuco's is my family's favorite Mexican restaurant. We dine there often, and for special family occasions. Since we started going there more than 20 years ago, Cuco's is now the only Mexican restaurant we go to, since The Best cannot be improved upon.. Cuco's very well deserves its Five Star Rating“

“Been there several times and the food is always excellent.“

“outstanding service and food.“

“Amazing chicken tamales, birria, and the best tortas I've had in OH. Their sauces are full of rich chile flavors, spice & acidity!Everything is fresh and colorful, with perfect touches like cucumbers and limes. the small patio is a good option for a quick bite!Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible for mobility impairments. feature a wide, solid ramp. Well done, as the main counter and pickup window are on an elevated slab up a few stairs! Chairs outside can be easily rearranged.“

“Food and service are amazing! We love the kid friendly atmosphere!“

“My friend and I go weekly because this place is outstanding“

“Went here with my family for dinner. Great experience. Food was awesome. I had the 2-2-2 breakfast and enjoyed each item. Other people with me had the quesadilla birria and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many old reviews from before the new owners took over keeping this place lower than it deserves!“

“Food tasted fresh and the service was fast. Only drawback i wanted to take the lunch special but instead of beef i took veggie. The waiter offered hard or soft taco i went for soft.she asked burrito i said veggie for burrito as well little did i know when you change the ingredients in the lunch special it will be charged differently. They didnt mention clearly.But over all i loved the food amd would recommend it 100%. Will definitely go back. For food i would give 4.5 stars.“

“What an unassuming place locating inside Saraga on Hamilton. Loved the warm tortillas for the tacos. Friendly and helpful with menu suggestions as we are not familiar with different options. Too bad we only had limited time during the visit but will definitely be back again soon.“

“Amazing food and service. Very clean“

“Love this little neighborhood gem! From the fresh tasty salsa served with warm chips to the delicious choices of Mexican generous favorites; mine being the chimichanga to the fantastic drinks for a great evening out, you can’t go wrong going to an evening out at this restaurant. The atmosphere is a family friendly place with outside eating as well. Just a really great place!“

“A symphony of textures between the delicious proteins, variety of cheeses and salsas, freshly-grilled fajita vegetables, topped with chopped cilantro, tortilla strips and queso.Friendly service, Clean dining area, plenty of parking and safe part of town.Strongly Recommend the seasoned rice, the juicy grilled adobo chicken, queso diablo, chile crema, and cotija cheese!“

“Dos Hermanos is the best! Definitely suggest trying if you haven’t!“

“great food. nice tables to relax and eat“

“This place came highly recommended to us by people at both the Book Loft and the botanicals place. We got there and were a little bit nervous about the serve your own salsa and chip bar, since the pandemic I think everyone is a bit more nervous about these things, but we stopped worrying and enjoyed the salsa. It was delicious. We ordered the queso which was also great! Their mango mocktail was delicious, but just not enough drink for the price and I should have just ordered a coke. As a warning to others, their menu needs commas, so we thought certain menu items had these combo like for example if it said "Cilantro lime ranch" I'd assume it was one sauce, but it was actually 3 ingredients. My friend got tripped up ordering because of this so I figured I'd mention it. That was a made up example, I do not recall her actual order. She ended up getting a gigantic burrito. My other friend just beans and rice and said there amazing. I ordered the Asian style taco, it was good, but a bit too saucy for me, just overall a texture, messy thing for me, but flavors were amazing. Next time I come I'd like a bigger appetite to try more. This is a nice little place, dark and cozy, probably great for the college crowd due to their affordable prices. I think it hits it's mark!“

“The buffet is great! I highly recommend!“

“Donita has the best food! Everything is super fresh and great quality:)“

“It's hard for me to describe my experience here because I literally could not taste anything. My nose was congested and I took a cough drop, which is an anesthetic, right beforehand. Also, the wind blew my taco al pastor onto the bricks. I ate the taco anyway but I think I ate some rocks too. It was very sad but I will not let that interfere with what I'm sure was a very delicious meal. OK BUT FOR REAL the workers were very friendly and kind! This place also seems very popular as they had a steady stream of mobile orders in addition to the people rolling up irl. I thought the prices here were incredibly cheap too! I got four tacos for like $10? I highly recommend this place if you're in the area, the weather is nice, and you wanna just vibe at the back of a Marathon munching on some yommy yommy tacos“

“Today was my first time visiting Pachucos Taqueria. The food truck offers authentic Mexican traditional entrees. I called in my order (recommend) in the late morning. I ordered a regular chicken taco, a chicken supreme taco, a regular steak taco. The chicken and steak meats were savory and deliciously seasoned. All three tacos were amazing! There is an eating area that is covered and is just a few feet away from where you place, pay, and pickup your order. Parking is limited and tight. Decent prices. Nice and friendly service via phone order and picking up my order.“

“The food is great!! I always get either tacos or gorditas, the burritos and quesadillas.Please understand that Mexican tacos are corn, tortillas, red meat with cilantro and onion, if you want to order chicken with lettuce, tomato and cheese that is American, your are ruining the experience, just go to taco bell instead. ??‍♀️“

“This was my first time trying this restaurant and I really enjoyed myself. I ordered cheese enchiladas and they were very good. I really enjoyed the presentation of the food. The other people in my group also enjoyed their food. The service that we received from the waiter was also pretty good. He was consistent and attentive. I would definitely go back and try some other items here“

“Delicious food and friendly service!“

“omg i love love love love love love this food truck. best food truck ever. whenever i can afford it tbats my spot to eat from. the food is fresh and taste really great. ive been going here for almost 2 1/2 years and i keep going back lol. i also really enjoy how in the summer you can enjoy the food outside and enjoy the culture. it feels like home to me thats why i keep going back. i also love that he helps me say the food in español. im actually in the process of learning español too. so a tip is differently worth it. marco is really nice and he make sure that he gives you the best customer experience even though, he only speaks little english, he still understands everything. tonight he taught me how to order my usual so next time we will be speaking back and forth until i fully learn español. im a hands on type of gal. thank you marco“

“Best chicken quesadilla in recent memory, possibly of all-time! Customer service was excellent. Ordering & check out, a breeze. Bonus points for presentation on my to-go order. Check out this local gem if you’re in the area. You’ll be glad you did!“

“I got the “La Casita” Fajitas which included grilled steak, chicken, shrimp and mushrooms. On the side was flour tortillas, beans, mexican rice, guac, sour cream and pico. The service at La Casita was great and our waiter was very attentive. The food overall wasn’t quite that tasty overall. The salsa which came with free chips at the beginning was quite bland and didn’t have a lot of flavor. The sizzling plate of fajita meat had quite a lot more ratio of vegetables than it did meat. Overall the experience was nice but the food is just not worth going back for in my opinion.“

“Late night dining that hit the spot ?Big variety of food options with the comida here!! Friendly staff members & Real Hispanics making the grub too....?Decently priced food for size and quality of food's.Tasty Burrito & Taco's plus more here....FYI....Cash ? Only joint⚠️“

“Excelente lugar latinoamericano ☺️“

“Had an early dinner here and really enjoyed all of the attention and customer service because there were not a lot of other customers. There is a self-serve salsa and tortilla chips bar and the salsa with excellent.The food was fresh and of good quality and the customer service was great.“

“1st time i went on a casual date night with my significant other and we ABSOLUTELY enjoyed ourselves. The food was GOOD & FRESH. Our bartender/host was AMAZING! The interior was SOOO CUTE & DIFFERENT... gave a nice VIBE atmosphere! I'll return another time!“

“Family owned and operated, amazing authentic food and plenty to choose from. By far the best "Taco Truck" on the Eastside. These guys have never failed my taste buds!!!“
