Great atmosphere the food was fantastic and the salsa was amazing. The chips were fresh and the service was really good. Had the carne asada. The steak was a little thin but it came with a cheese enchilada rice and beans and it was delicious.

We had a very negative experience at Don Cuco in Los Angeles. The staff refused to accept our valid REAL ID driver’s licenses from Puerto Rico as proof of age for ordering beverages. Under California law, alcohol regulations apply to businesses, and U.S. territory IDs (including Puerto Rico) are legally valid forms of identification for this purpose.

When we asked what law had changed, the staff could not explain. Instead, one employee insisted that our IDs were not valid for travel within the U.S. — which is completely false. As U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans can travel anywhere in the U.S. with just their REAL ID–compliant driver’s license.

This was not only incorrect, but dismissive and discriminatory. We felt disrespected, and ultimately left without being served. We want to warn others from Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories that they may face the same unfair treatment here.

Everything from this place was perfect. The atmosphere, the food, it made me feel like I wasn't in burbank anymore. Just the service was a bit annoying. They're on you almost every minute and it's not just one servant its multiple employees coming to you. Can't even enjoy eating the food and talking to your friends. Also the second your plate is empty they instantly come and take your plate. They don't even give you a chance to breath. I just think they need to tone down the service a bit and let people take in all the beautiful decorations, atmosphere and especially the food.

The food is not the most amazing food in the city by any means, but it's comforting (I like the fajitas), and the service, which is very fast and generous, and the cozy environment make up for it. Chips and salsa are great. The Downtown Burbank location is better (Toluca Lake location is too cramped).

It’s a diamond in the rough. The food is nostalgic as well as the environment.I haven’t had a better Mexican plate at any restaurant. I only hope this place get more recognition for their food and environment. It’s almost magical.

We use to love dining at Cucos. Last night 8/1/25 we sat at the bar had margaritas and ordered the steak/chicken Fajitas @$26 they bring the meal on much smaller skillet which held 2 strips of each meat and onions with one tiny slice of bell pepper. They have raised their prices and serving maybe at best half the normal size of Fajitas. I give a 3 star only the drinks and bar tender were good
