Del Chuco Cantina Y Cocina

I’m not usually a fan of Tex-Mex but I had the shrimp tacos with rice and beans and it was delicious! The atmosphere was great and my server was very nice. I didn’t catch his name but he’s from Columbia. Everything on the menu sounded good and I’ll definitely be back to try the drinks. I’ve heard they have the best margaritas.

I been to Del Chuco several times and never got the food. I usually go downstairs for the drinks and I enjoy them. Today was the first time I had food and I came for the food and a drink or two and Guadalupe is why I stayed. Her severe was top tier. Every recommendation she made was spot on! She made sure we didn't go without and continued to serve us despite cutting into her lunch hours. I would come back because the food, drinks, and service was the best!

Atmosphere is great! Lovely place to sit down for dinner. Service is fast. We were sat immediately. Unfortunately, dinner was not what was expected. Our meals were bland, we had to ask for salt. The waitress was very rude and demanding. The coconut margarita was just a lime margarita with coconut flakes on top. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Late post! Neeley had an appointment in Huntsville so we took advantage of her making it ‘out East’ and I met her at Chuco! Long over due, been meaning to go but have barely had time to go to my own restaurant 🥵 Ran into Erick at Inline and it was a sign for me to go, just didn’t think I’d have the opportunity two days later! Stephanie and Erick have created a fun environment! Service was fantastic! Can’t remember our guy’s name but he took excellent care of us. Three Amigos (warm salsa, queso, guacamole) with fresh chips! I was just telling someone I wish more places had warm salsa after my last trip to Dallas…Queso Fundido! That cheese pull could’ve been a few feet but I was hawngry! Corn Ribs?!?! Yes, please! Chimichanga Picadillo for Neeley and Hard Tacos Trio for me. Everything on the plate has a purpose. Rice and Beans, might be the best I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant in the Rocket City! If you haven’t been yet, get there asap! Congratulations, Luthers on another fantastic addition to the Rocket City food scene 🙏🏽🙌🏽

I didn’t have any problem with the food, it was actually good, but the service was another story. Our first server was very rude and demanding. She even told my fiancé to “speak” to hear her accent, after seeing her ID from the UK. In a way that felt demeaning, almost like talking to a dog.

They also brought the wrong appetizer to our table. We thought it was complimentary chips, guacamole, and salsa like many Tex-Mex restaurants provide, so we started eating it. Instead, they tried to charge us for it, even though it was their mistake. Only after asking for a new server did they agree to take it off our tab.

When I spoke with the manager, he wasn’t exactly rude, but I left with the impression that I was more of a bother than a valued customer. Maybe I’m overthinking it, but overall the service experience made it hard to enjoy the meal.

Food is avarage at best. But the atmosphere is pretty cool.

Overall, this place exceeded expectations. The food was served hot, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was truly top-tier—perfect for a casual yet elevated dining experience.

For starters, I highly recommend the street corn and the chile con queso. While the queso was slightly runny for my preference (I typically enjoy a thicker consistency), the flavor was outstanding.

For main dishes, both the steak bowl and steak quesadillas were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. However, the chicken flautas were a disappointment—bland and lacking seasoning, making them feel like a poor value compared to the other offerings.

Despite the flautas, the drink selection was a highlight. Though I opted for mocktails, each one was full of bold, refreshing flavor.

I would absolutely return on my next visit and look forward to trying even more from the menu.

Absolutely loved this Mexican restaurant! The flavors were incredibly close to authentic Mexican cuisine, which is hard to find. The presentation of each dish was excellent, and the portion sizes were more than fair for the price. The tres leches cake was hands down the best I’ve ever had – moist, rich, and perfectly balanced. And the espresso martini? Simply outstanding – smooth, flavorful, and a real treat for the palate. Highly recommended!

Impromptu dinner last night with friends, and this place didn’t disappoint. Service was great, dinner was amazing. Fish and shrimp tacos were wonderful. Cheese dip, salsa and the guacamole dip was wonderful as well. We will be back. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and service. Food was fresh and delicious. The watermelon margarita was very good. Only reason for the 4 star is drinks were received after entree and no water refills. Hoping this was a one off.We will be back!!
