Decent Mexican food. I would def go Again to eat. It's not all greasy so that's good however the salsas can use some help.

2 tacos-$17.50 ish. Average tacos at best and completely overpriced. Disappointing since it would be so convenient for me to eat there.

Cuca's is an excellent mexican restaurant in Foothill Ranch. My family has been eating here for years and never had a bad meal. The customer service is always great and the food is awesome. My go to is the taco & enchilata combo, but everything we've had there has been good! It's a small, uassuming little restaurant in a strip mall, which is well worth checking out.

Cuca's Mexican Food at 26676 Portola Pkwy in Lake Forest, CA, provided a mixed dining experience. The chicken burrito and all-meat carnitas burrito each earned 3 stars, while the 2 chicken tacos impressed with 4 stars. Unfortunately, the 3 chile relleno platters were served without tortillas, and the chilies were uncomfortably cold, earning them 2 stars. This oversight significantly impacted the overall satisfaction, resulting in a 2-star rating for the overall dining experience.

I drive 9 miles to come here for lunch or supper. Really good Chili Rellenos, handmade on premises. Great fish tacos. Actually everything is handmade on premises. I don't think anything is pre-frozen. Great wait staff and the kitchen, which you can see from the dining area, is immaculate.Give it a try. I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint

Not ATHENTIC Mexican food. I expect real El Mexicano cheese, fresh made masa tortillas…not fake cheese that’s labeled Mexican cheese from a cheap grocery store, and better meats. My two tacos were all lettuce and fake cheese. Being Hispanic, at a Mexican restaurant. I expect more. And the person at the register doesn’t have to be snobby. And chips should not be an extra fee….seriously.

Our family had Cuca’s catered, everything was perfect! Emerald was such a big help to us and we are truly grateful for for the experience we had. I want to thank everyone who took the effort to make our event special. The enchiladas, chicken, carne asada and sides were perfect! Thank you again for your outstanding service.

We love Cuca's! Affordable and very good standard Mexican food. Their Chile rellenos are very good and consistently mild. Get a three item combo for the best value.
