Best authentic Mexican restaurant I've been to in a long time. The food and atmosphere are amazing. Big menu, friendly and quick service, full bar, and plenty of seating.

Didn't have to wait at all to be seated on a Saturday night and the food was served shortly after ordering without a long wait. Chips and salsa were made in house and were great. I ordered the combo fajita and it was cooked perfectly and sizzling, as it should, when served. The shrimp, chicken, and steak were delicious and bountiful.

My only gripe is that the lighting was very dim. People with any sort of vision problems may have trouble reading the menu. Other than that, this place sets the bar for excellent authentic Mexican cuisine.

Vegetarian options: Lots of beans and rice, eggs and cheese.

Parking: Multi-level parking ramp just past the restaurant. Very easy to find with usually plenty of parking. And it's free

Kid-friendliness: Yes. I take my grandson there regularly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entry way is flat. Doors are heavy. Would need someone to open them. I did not see a handicap button.

Large menu, vegetarian options, and decent prices. Food was delicious and so was the I champagne and habanero salsa (I love a salsa that really burns). Our server was kind and accommodating. Great location - downtown Burbank, 1 block from the mall.

This has got to be some of the freshest Mexican Cuisine I've ever had! Taco shells are made fresh, their Taquitos are made fresh, the meat is seasoned to absolute perfection and everything about this place says "A True Mexican Experience!!!"
Perhaps most enjoyable is the manner in which they put customers first and foremost.
They believe strongly in the fact that the customer is always right!
Truly made me feel right at home in their comfortable environment and family hospitality!

What a place to stumble upon. We had some time to kill before heading to the airport, and google a different nearby bar, that had no parking. We ended up parking directly in front of Don Cucos, and what a stroke of luck!

It's beautiful inside, with stained glass windows, and fantastic Mexican tiles. Leather booths that scream for a romantic couple to sit close, and open tables for more people. The service is outstanding... top notch really. The house margaritas were generous in size, and you can taste the tequila.

I wish we had time to eat, because the complimentary house salsa was amazing, and the chips were very fresh.

Anytime I go to Burbank Airport, I'm gonna stop in again. So impressed with this place.

Left my debit card on the table I left for a few minutes when I returned to ask for it they said the waiter left for the day. He took off with my card. No signs of the card. I knew not to eat at this place when I saw the rim of the cups dirty as hell never wiped down.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but for this occasion I just had to. The food was not even close too authentic Mexican food! No flavor at all. The portion of the food is small for what we paid.
