Applicable to the Zaragosa location only. . Unfortunately the food is fair but the customer service today (11/24/21) was not favorable. The manager or person with the laptop, is willing to lose a loyal customer who spends usually$40+ per trip for a 6.45$ taco plate. My grandson accidentsly spill a coke bottle trying to reach over for a lemon, 3 restaurant people were there and had no reaction whatsoever. coke spill on am order of tacos, we asked cordially if they could replace it. Since my grandson spilled, the lady said no. Its a shame that for 6.45 she's is willing to lose a customer. BAD BUSINESS DECISION. NOT ONLY THIS CUSTOMER BUT THOSE WHO WILL HEAR OUR EXPERIENCE. Who cleaned the mess... grandma and mom. Zero courteous hospitality. Huevonas!! It is no wonder you cannot post reviews for that location.

I usually go to this location or the one close to Mesa Hills. Mesa Hills is my first choice and this one is second. Tacos Don Cuco has the same menu items at each of their locations. My go to on the menu is their steak tacos or menudo. Oh and a Papa Don Cuco, a baked potato with nacho cheese, steak and onions...minus the onions. The steak is usually well seasoned and has very little fat. The tortillas are thin and on the small side which I prefer. Gotta cut those carbs anywhere I can! I like to add red and green chile with lime on my tacos. The light green guacamole chile is where it's at. Their red chile de arbol is tasty too! Tacos Don Cuco offers street tacos. The tortillas aren't fried. I think the menudo from Tacos Don Cuco is some of the best in El Paso! It has the right amount of spice and it always tastes fresh. I like the posole/hominy more than anything. I'm not a fan of the tripe that much. This goes for everywhere I have menudo. The great thing about Tacos Don Cuco is that menudo is served daily, not only on weekends. You also get a couple of slices of French bread with butter. I've also had their quesadillas in the past. They're not really my favorite. Imo they lacked flavor. Tacos Don Cuco is also great with including plenty of chile, lime, onions and napkins with to go orders. If you're dining in, they have a salsa bar. I haven't had any major issues with my orders...except it's been incorrect once or twice. I've left it alone. I usually noticed the order was wrong once I was already home. Note to self: CHECK the order before going home! The price is pretty good. My orders usually cost $25-30 give or take. The order is always enough to feed my household and 2-3 meals for leftovers. We have a lot of good taco places in El Paso. Tacos Don Cuco is one of my favorites. I would say it's in my top 10 list of best tacos. Not number 1 but maybe number 8 or 9?? Check it out!

The place is dirty, expensive for what I would call very bland tacos, and the young man behind the counter must have been having a poor evening; less than polite. I would not recommend this place, walk across the street to Taco Bell, you will be glad you did.

My brother and I literally got kicked out of this place yesterday. We arrived before 2:30 and we saw they had a sign they closed at 3. We were going to eat quickly and leave. We got our food and we sat down. A young man told us they had packed our food because we couldn't eat there. He said his colleague should have told us. We were not told anything, if not we would have never ordered. I can't believe they threw us out.

SUPER BOMB! This place is so authentic, tastes just like if you were in mexico. tortillas are handmade. I got the pastor tacos and I loved them. The place was understaffed though so we were just waiting around for someone to help us which is fine, but we weren't greeted. Amex is also not taken here. The food outweighs the cons though, the food was so good

Was looking for a place to eat that we haven't been to before and stumbled upon this place. Everything was delicious!! The burger don cuco was so good! We got some tacos also and they were perfect. They were a good size, not super small like some places. Will definitely be coming back here. Thank you for the wonderful food and service ?

Thanks for over cooking my meat and adding too much fruit (which I never wanted in the first place) you ruined my birthday dinner party

The customer service was great and the food was on point, but the night did mot end well...hint hint.hints. Could have been just me, but they would get the benefit of the dought.

Good sauces, good price, but uninspiring tortillas and too much sugar in the horchata. But with a few changes, this could be a great spot.
