Cuchara is one of my favorite restaurants in Houston! The staff is friendly and the food and drinks are unmatched! The margaritas are made fresh and are so delicious!! The food is unique because it is Mexico City bistro versus Tex Mex! Give this place a try!
June 2025
The is a favorite spot for me. I always enjoy the patio. Service was on point as usual. Today’s menu chooses were superb. I enjoyed the chicken flautas fried to perfection served with crispy lettuce & cheese and a tasty green salsa. My guy enjoyed chorizo tacos. Cuchara is always a treat for us.
