**Five Stars for Tacos Don Cuco: A Flavor Explosion!**#11 Review for 2024# 432 Review All Time!!This taco stand is an absolute gem! The flavors are sensational - each bite bursts with the perfect blend of seasoned meats and vibrant, zesty toppings. The homemade tortillas are a game-changer; you absolutely must try them with their irresistible Mulitas. And oh, their Pastor with pineapple is simply amazing!On top of the incredible food, the service is quick, the staff is friendly, and the prices are incredibly affordable. For anyone passionate about tacos, this spot is an absolute must-visit. I'm already planning my next trip back - Tacos Don Cuco has won me over completely!

Some of the best night Tacos in East LA. Made with Mesquite wood that gives the meat an amazing unique flavor.

The tacos used to be so good I don't what happened to this place. The adobada was crunchy dry felt like it was reheated and tasted like that. The asada was bland no flavor. The tortillas were cold. Definitely won't be back this is the second time the food was bad. Such a shame

taco stand that specializes in tijuana style tacos... honestly some of the best tasting street tacos I've had! The tortillas are made to order, so everything is fresh. The asada tacos are so tender & smokey! I love coming here because the workers are very friendly & appreciative of tips! (Seriously- they will express their gratitude when tipping) Ordered 8 tacos + drink and everything came out to be $31.

Man what happened to this place ?? Used to be an ok taco place..now it sucks!!!! Like really really sucks !! I order 4 asada and 2 chorizo . The chorizo were ok but the asada was all reheated meat and hardened with no flavor .. even the tortilla was not freshly made .. again this place used to be good now it sucks and I'll never come back here again!!

Honestly their tacos are fire! But I am so upset that after buying a bunch of lengua tacos they refused to give us a little extra green sauce to add on top!! Honestly the lady making the tortillas was so rude and yelling and just for that I am not coming back!
Food is good been coming for a while but noticed they are not cutting there meat good fat is in big

Had the pleasure of checking this place out. I definitely wanted to try more of LA's Mexican food and this place was good. We ordered their al pastor and asada tacos. al pastor had a lot of crunchy caramelized bits but I prefer soft. The asada texture was softer but I preferred the flavor of the al pastor more. For my friend it was the opposite. I would pass on the al pastor tostada next time, it was meh compared to everything else: too much crunch in the meat with the shell. Definitely get the molitas and I would get that with chicken next time since that was also al pastor. The pollo quesadilla is also really worth it as well and has a good ratio of everything. their guacamole could have used some seasoning but i would rather something be bland and unsalted rather than too much of both. i think if they put a tad bit more seasoning on their chicken and a little salt on the guacamole, it would be perfect. their pineapple juice was so fresh and pulpy. The first part of our order was four al pastor tacos, al pastor tostada, al pastor molita which cost $29. The second part of our order was two asada tacos and one pollo quesadilla which cost $16.They are super quick to fulfill orders and regulars helped us on what to order as well. I want to go to other places to build my palette and see how Tacos Don Cuco compares.

It feels like a family run operation. This place is located off of Whittier, a main street in East Los Angeles. This stand specializes in Tijuana style tacos. Folks here or friendly and it has a cool, welcoming vibe to it. It's also cash only.I came here on a weekday night on my way home from work, so just like me, it was obvious that other people were just getting off of work as well, trying to grab food.I ordered my usual when I go to a new spot: tacos and a mulita. I got carne asada tacos and a chorizo mulita. The meats here had a delicious smoky flavor. And the tacos received that signature Tijuana style taco dollop of guacamole. Oh, and they have the masa to press and make the tortillas fresh here.Once you order and they had your food you go to pay off to the side. Over there there's some sauces and fresh limes, cut up as well as grilled onions. This place pretty much ticks all the boxes of my favorite types of taco places: delicious, fresh tortillas, reasonably priced, and fresh produce for the toppings. I'm a huge fan and I would recommend for sure. Parking is pretty easy as well as it's located in a pretty big lot. I was able to find parking really quick and easy.

Best freaken tacos!!!Came here recently to tried them out.Was not disappointed.I order two asada mulitas with avocado!!!The tortillas are hand made to order.They added some cheese which melted right away...Mmmmm, delicious There's a lot of parking around, they've a few high tables if you wanna munch right away, no seats.I recommend you enjoy it in the comfort of your car, do not leave the premise 'cause you'll probably want more! There was a line and the wait time was a little long but totally worth it, guess they just happened to be busy that night.I also tried their agua de jamaica (hibiscus water). Totally worth it!Bring cash!!!
