Los Cuco’s in Waco is way different than any other location I’ve been too. All the other had great consistency with food portions & taste. - Decided to take the in-laws out on a Thursday evening and the only good thing was the chip and salsa lady giving us attention. - Fajitas were something out of a frozen package ( cold and tough ) -Flour tortillas were raw - Although My Daughter did like Drake and other hip hop music playing in a Mexican restaurant! NOT worth the $200 for 3 people

We placed a to-go pickup order around 12:20 PM on Thursday (12/18/25) and spent $41.10 total for three items:
Large Chicken Fajita Nachos ($13.99)
Large Chicken Quesadillas ($18.99)
Kids Cheese Enchilada Plate ($4.99)
This was weekday lunch time, yet no lunch specials or discounted pricing were applied, which made the experience feel even more overpriced for what we received.
The order came out in one large tied bag. All three meals were sealed in their own containers, but the grease was excessive inside each food container, soaking into the food itself. On top of that, the two styrofoam topping containers leaked badly. We assumed the toppings would be separated (not crammed together) and that the containers would be leak-proof, but instead everything was mixed together and the liquid spilled throughout the bag.
By the time we drove to Belton, the inside of the bag — including the chips and utensils — was submerged in leaked topping juice, while the food containers themselves were saturated with grease. The result was a soggy, messy, and completely unappetizing experience.
The toppings were unusable since pico/tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole were all mixed together in one container per order. Very poor packaging for a to-go order.
The kids cheese enchilada plate was another issue. It was covered in a spicy red sauce, and the rice had jalapeños mixed in, making it inappropriate for a child. The kid couldn’t eat it — only the refried beans were edible.
The nachos were extremely greasy, and the cheese tasted slightly sour and different from the cheese used on the quesadillas, which was concerning. Nothing tasted fresh — just oily and heavy.
By the time we arrived, we had to buy other food because this was not something we could eat. For what we paid, this felt overpriced, poorly packaged, and careless. The only ones who seemed to enjoy it were our dogs.
Overall, this was a waste of money, and based on this experience, we would not return or recommend this place, especially for takeout.
Also, we took pictures but for some reason the pics of the food error'd out and wouldn't show up... but the receipt is clear.

They never have a problem with our English Mastiff coming in course. He's a therapy dog but a lot of people frown on it. They're always kind and good to him and usually give him a cheese. Quesadilla we love the restaurant!

My very first time eating here and it's gonna be the last. The experience was absolutely horrible. We asked for extra cups of salsa for each of us at the table. The waitress said it was gonna be an extra charge. Salsa!?! My friend ordered a corn tortilla burrito and you couldn't tell the difference. It looked like a flour tortilla. I ordered a refill of my drink and the waitress didn't tell me that it was a extra charge!!! Imagine my surprise when it showed up on the receipt. Not worth coming to eat here again.

This was our second time coming here. The first time was great, but we were disappointed the second go round. Upon entry, there was a very unpleasant odor that was reminiscent of sewage. Service was friendly but very slow considering we were one of only three tables. The food was okay; I liked mine but my wife was not impressed. Willing to give it another shot but overall disappointed.

Our waitress gave us excellent service, always filling glasses before they ran dry and wad so attentive to our needs. The food was excellent, and my drink was superb! Thanks Chelsey for making our last night in Texas extra special!
When you first walk in, it feels like you are walking into a fancy diner. The service matched the food, amazing. There was never a time where we had to look for our waiter as he was always checking on us. The food was well seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere and people felt very welcoming.

Husband and I went out for a rare dinner date Saturday night also picking up a takeout meal for my 81 year old mother. We spent $77 plus tip for queso w/beef, 2 stuffed shrimp avocado meals and a platter for my spouse. The meals were mediocre at best after this being one of our go to spots. Sad to spend hard earned money for a bland mediocre meal. The best part was just enjoying one another's company.
