    Shrimp enchiladas
    Carroll V.

    Let's start either the positive. The margaritas were a huge hit, with the swirl getting the most positive reviews. My 1800 (citrus) was good but not a wow. Service for a group of 11 was great--chips and salsa came out promptly. Mediocre salsa, too bland for me. Our waitress was patient and attentive. Very impressive Everyone enjoyed the coveted outdoor patio and few complaints at all about their orders. They had a grand time! Let's add the negative: Decent but underwhelming Mexican food. The choriqueso lacked bite and taste. My shrimp enchiladas were overcooked, tough. One order came out wrong but was quickly corrected. Food in general is too much on the safe side. I would go back with a group--as a couple I would try someplace else

    Banana Margarita

    I truly enjoyed the ambiance with the DJ and the positive vibes. The food and drinks were delicious as always. The service was pleasant and I'm so happy that I went on Cinco De Mayo.

    Cucos Mexican Fiesta catering
    Karen R.

    Just wanted to give a shout out to Cucos Mexican Cafe. I had them cater a graduation party for me this past weekend and it was awesome!!! The guests all raved over the food! Pulled up to get the food (they offered to deliver but it was not needed) and never had to load one thing myself. They thought of everything! The food was hot, tasted wonderful and was more than enough! Love going there to eat and the catering is just as good! Pricing was very reasonable also!! I have used them for work events as well and had them deliver and they even stayed and served! I can't say enough good things about them! Oscar Franco and his team are the best and always willing to go above and beyond for their customers!! Highly recommend for any catering, food to-go or dinner out. (Pic is not a great representation but it was all I had)

    I was really hungry and in a hurry to get some food. We stopped here and I got vegetarian burrito. It was good. Nothing fantastic. I'm not from here and wouldn't stop in again. Prices were reasonable

    Bean burrito with especial sauce. Side of rice and refried black beans

    I grew up eating at Cucos off of Green Springs in Birmingham, but it's been closed for decades at this point, so we have to come to Montgomery to get our Cucos fix! We decided to pick up food to go for my family for our Father's Day celebration (it's my dad's favorite restaurant). I cannot say enough about the service! We came in and ordered a massive amount of food and the lady was so patient taking our order and the food was ready so quickly (10 minutes)!!! They also sold chips and salsa in catering sizes. Trust me. You need to buy this in bulk. Their salsa is SO GOOD! Fresh and with chunks of tomatoes and onions in it. There is actually yumminess to pick up with your crisp chip, not watery at all. Full of flavor!! As my mom would say, "it's worth the drive to Montgomery just for salsa" haha. We LOVE their refried black beans and their special sauce that goes on the burritos should be bottled and sold! I always get extra to smother my burrito with. It's just a high quality casual Mexican-style food experience! They have plenty of seating at this location (main restaurant and a patio - fully enclosed). I've also eaten at the restaurant (vs getting it to-go like today) recently and had great service and food then as well (I'm also including a photo of my meal that day)!!

    Shaved steak. Possible frozen pre cooked grossness
    Joshua R.

    Choke and puke! We have been coming here for years on our way home from our annual beach trip. And before that we were loyal customers at all locations including Birmimgham for the last 15 years. The quality and service has been declining year after year. This year the steak fajita was shaved frozen steak. The beans were rock hard and dry. In the past the steak was strips of tender beef that drove us back out of our way to enjoy our final leg of our trip. We will not be back.

    This is why restaurants were invented! Cuco's is THE best Mexican restaurant I've ever had the privilege of visiting. The food is authentic, absolutely delicious, served with lightning speed, and always piping hot. The owner, Oscar, cares deeply about providing every guest with the ultimate dining experience. All I can say is VIVA!!!!!

    Fun outside area
    Karen B.

    Stop here every time in Montgomery- Best Mexican food around- wish we had one in Mobile. Chips always so fresh and thin. Decor and beautiful inside with a great - fun outside area with A/C and TV's. The food can not be better...See photos- love the way they place the rice and black beans in the crunchy bowls. Great Value and friendly service. My mouth is watering now as I type this - Can't wait to travel that way again.

    Nice people. Bad food. The food that isn't over cooked is undercooked. Most of it tasted frozen or canned but poorly cooked

    This Mexican restaurant has a very different feel than most of your traditional Mexican…read morerestaurants. It didn't have all the Spanish decor and music playing. It has a very open dining room and accent lights along the walls. We had a young man named Jackson as our server. He seemed a bit timid but provided great service. He made suggestions on dishes and made sure we had what we needed as the meal progressed. My friend, who has frequented this place before stated that their menus were new. I have included photos of the food menus. For me, they weren't very user friendly or organized well. Either way, we figured it out. The dishes were generous in portions and very very delicious! I had the meal #44 which is the Naked Pablano Pepper which I got with chicken. My friend took Jackson's recommendation of the #32 which is the Plato de Carnitas. Great experience. Would definitely come back!

    I've been to Sol Taqueria several times now--both of their locations--and they never miss. If…read moreyou're craving authentic, homestyle Mexican food, this is the spot. The slow-cooked brisket tacos are absolutely on point: tender, rich, and packed with flavor that keeps me coming back. Every visit has been consistent, and that's what I love most--you know you're going to get great food and great service every time. Sol Taqueria really nails that balance of authenticity and comfort. It feels like a place you can count on, whether it's your first visit or your tenth.
