We visited Cuco's for lunch this week and had a delicious meal. I had a Chile Relleno with rice and it was spot on. My husband had a burrito rice and beans and he was very happy with it too. The service was very good. The ambience has a bit basic, but pleasant. read more

Food was amazing. This our new favorite Friday night spot. We're new in town and we've tried other Mexican restaurants, they don't compare. The service and the food is amazing. Keep up the great work. read more

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 read more

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) read more

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)!! read more

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. read more

The food was ok, but the server was AWFUL. We were a big group of volleyball players and families, eating after a game. We were trying to make it easy on the waitress by just ordering for our children so that she wouldn't have to figure out who was on who's check, because all the kids were sitting together and all the adults were sitting at a different table. The waitress proceeds to tell my daughter that she's not going to let us order for her, that she will take her order. Then she asked really loudly "Who are the parents trying to order for this girl?" I said it was us, and she said "No, she is gonna order for herself." 1.) We were just trying to help. 2.) don't ever ever ever, as a stranger, tell my child to do something outside of what I have asked them to do, and definitely don't tell me that she's NOT going to do it. So things didn't start off well. But I've worked in restaurants so I thought maybe she was just having an off night. From there, we ordered drinks and it took 20 minutes to get waters. Someone brought them and sat them a few tables over and they just sat there until we finally got up and served them ourselves. A couple of other girls came in a few minutes late and when the waitress came back around, my daughter tried to tell her that the new girl had not ordered. The waitress told her that she had already taken everyone's order and then told my 12-year-old, somewhat shy daughter, "don't tell me how to do my job." My daughter did not tell me about this until we left. Fast forward through the very average meal, several people didn't get what they asked for, several people got their food way later than others, we all sat there for 20 more minutes waiting on checks, when we got the checks they were incorrect. I won't be back. The only reason I gave it two stars is because I always feel bad giving a one-star review to a restaurant, or any business really, because I know that sometimes the owners have no idea what their employees are doing. But this was an awful experience. I don't have the servers name, but this was the night of September 16, and I'm sure whoever was working the bar remembers because we kept having to go to the bar to get refills on drinks, to get our checks fixed, etc. read more

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!!!!! read more

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. read more

Wow. Best Tex Mex in Montgomery! Fresh, hot chips (the kind with oil on them). Great queso. Combination fajitas were fantastic. GOING BACK SOON! Cons: The only thing not making this 5 stars is the margarita mix. Sorry guys, you need to get this right at a Mexican restaurant :) Mix was too sour. If you're not a fan of onions, the salsa has a lot of fresh onions. read more

Did not care for the food at all and service was slow. The food was soggy and tasted old

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

Had lunch at CUCOS Pike Road, AL location and was really disappointed . Are order was the 2 lunch Taco and a bean burrito plus the complementary salsa and chips . Let's start off with the absents of salt on the chips, good Salsa, and the meal was tasteless. Again my tacos were pork on a hard shell. If you have ever been to Mexico, I spent 4 years on the border @ Del Rio, TX. These Taco's w were tasteless nor was any sauce on them. They and the burrito were lacking any taste or spices. It's OK to offer salt less food but there should be an alternative for those not on a sodium reduced diet. Nothing had any taste, and the refried bean were just as bad. Salt was on the table but even that could not overcome the lack of any taste. Won't be back! read more

Always a great time when I go here! They have a karaoke, and a dj some nights. The best part is the great servers and their service! The food is good! I'm a simple gal and usually stick to my steak tacos and margaritas! But you have to try the guacamole!!!! Hands down the best I've had! read more

Had a really nice time here. My daughter's school had a meet & greet night here and the kids had a great time. They have a nice enclosed outdoor area, so you didn't have to be too hot or cold. There was plenty of room for the kids to get their energy out while the adults talked. I got the beef tacos and they were really good. I liked how thin and crispy the shells were. They looked handmade, so I'm hoping they were. My daughter got a cheese quesadilla and ate all her food, which is rare for her. So I was happy. The staff was very nice. read more

Great flavor to all the food options we tried. Salsa tastes homemade, the guacamole would be better with actual avocados mixed with the regular version and their fajitas were great! read more

The chicken fajitas were loaded with tomatoes and I am not a fan of tomatoes. The margaritas were not good at all. The bartender was nice but her nails were over in the shredded cheese. She actually had cheese under her nail when she put the plate down. Tomato based rice which had no flavor. And the retried beans looked kinda gross with a very dark and old looking tint. Will not return. The cheese dip was fine. read more

Service is the worse I've had at a Mexican restaurant. I guess I should have dressed up for this "not so upscale" restaurant. Margaritas was pretty good for premix. Nacho appetizer was 8 triangular triangular shaped tortilla chips with half melted cheese and light toppings for $10. Asked for chicken enchilada but received cheese enchilada. Lady Server did not check on table but was eyeing us the entire visit. I pulled napkins from my purse to avoid confusion. My companion went to the car while I waited and female manager rushed over to the table asking if I wanted to pay now. Madam I haven't received my check yet and I wouldn't dare dine and dive. He will be right back!!! We paid with cash and was given the wrong amount of change $60.00 I notified waitress and manager who were at the bar talking. I guess the waitress "took" $10 tip but she insisted that I lied. Manager looked at camera I guess and gave the $10 back. "They" say that you should go downtown but I say Dine at your own risk. read more

I'm from out of town and have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. I used to frequent the one in Columbus, GA. Food was good, but slowest service I've ever received in a Mexican restaurant. Popped in for a "quick" lunch at 12:30. They weren't very busy and only 2 people in my party. I am just now leaving at 1:40. The sweet bartender filled in for our absent waitress. The food wasn't worth the awful service, so I won't be back. read more

Been here now a handful of times with my girlfriend and her son. Having grown up on the border, I'm always in search of good Mexican food. This place is by no means my favorite in town, but it's a nice change. It's also nice that they give you 10% off if you bring your church bulletin on Sundays. I agree with some other reviewers. Service can be an issue, but the last couple times we had that same server and she was pretty good. The food we had last night was fantastic. My GF had steak tacos and her son had a perfectly cooked steak. Perfectly. Cooked. Our order came out a tad wrong, but it was ok. Not enough to complain about. What irritates me most about this place has nothing to do with the food or service. It's the way people park out front. It is clearly labeled "no parking zone" and people pull up front and make their own spaces. Lots of selfish, Inconsiderate people who don't think the rules apply to them....eat here. read more

While the restaurant is clean and the lunch plates cheap the food is mediocre. I ordered the choriqueso (cheese dip with chorizo) and the steak quesadilla. The dip is made with velvetta instead of the normal white cheese I get and was ok. The chips were really good though! The steak quesadilla was tiny and bland. The best part of the meal was the frozen margarita mixed with sangria! I won't come back. read more

This Mexican restaurant has been around since the 80s. It has delicious food and I have always enjoyed my meals! The chips and salsa are absolutely the best I've ever had... hell I'd h go o for them alone! The little mini chimichangas with the special brown sauce is my go to, I can't even try anything else because they are that good. Also the service is excellent and Oscar the owner is the best! I'm wondering if downtown location is closed because of COVID. It's a closer location g F or me but I'm sure it will reopen when things get back to normal! Really love this restaurant! read more

Visited from San Antonio, Texas my family brought me here to eat. I loved it!! The salsa was awesome I loved it! We had great service! I had guacamole tacos and loved them! The guacamole was delicious! The black beans and rice was also good! Loved this place! Plan to come back next time I visit Montgomery! read more

The food is always delicious and the service is fair. The drinks are price point and affordable. Great place for date night or just a place to hang out for good food, with friends. read more

Staff is not well trained or knowledgeable about the menu and no one is wearing a mask. The entire place is unsanitary (bar is sticky, bathroom not clean, etc.) and they may as well put lawn furniture in the dining area because it looks terrible. Will never go back! read more

2.5 stars. Was looking for a place to eat with the family on Memorial Day and we decided to come here. We've been craving Mexican food lately, so why not? First thing we noticed was the "no parking" zone in the front of the restaurant, which is usually reserved in case of fires and it looked like there wasn't enough space for cars to park there. Yet, cars were parked there. They were all lined up in a row too, so it looks like they were employees. Second, even though it was the middle of the day, the restaurant was kind of dark. We almost got seated in a corner, which had the lighting of one tea candle, but my mom asked to move by the window. As for the food: - The chips were my favorite part. They're the thin kind, and they were served hot. This was as good as it got for me. - We decided to order queso dip. By the time it made it to our table, it was doing that thing cheese dip does, where it hardens a bit and you break it by dipping into it. - I ordered the sour cream chicken enchiladas with refried pinto beans. The food came out fairly quickly. Nothing special about the presentation.I took a bite out of my beans, and they had a weird aftertaste. I feel like refried beans have a pretty uniform taste across the board, and these were the worst I've ever had. I tried dipping chips in it to make it taste better, but to no avail. Likewise, the enchiladas were meh. They weren't really tasty or flavorful in the least bit. I guess I was expecting the sour cream and/or cheese to be on the inside or something, but instead they were piled on top of one another, along with jalapeno chunks on the enchilada. I love sour cream, but the taste of it all was rather off-putting. While the lunch special makes the dish fairly cheap, you can taste better enchiladas at Trader Joe's for cheaper (and more filling). read more

- 2.5 Stars To Be Exact - Restaurant Was Relatively Clean (Except The Clearly Wet Seat At The Booth I Was Seated At Before I Asked The Hostess To Dry It Off) - Love The Tortilla Chips .. Light, Salty, & Fresh - Salsa Was Obviously Store-Bought Salsa (Bummer) - I Ordered The Sample Platter Which Arrived In Good Timing But Was A Slim Few Degrees Hotter Than Lukewarm. I Was Underwhelmed. It Came With 2 Salsas Both Which Had A Thin Film Over Them As If They Had Sat Out For Days - The Chimichangas Tasted Like Frozen Ones Deep Fried. - Beef Nachos : Ground Beef With Cheese Melted Over A Thin Tortilla Chip (Only 4 Chips Come With The Appetizers) - Guacamole Was Good But Not Great .. Something Was Off About It .. I'm Just Not Sure What - Service Was Average ... She Wasn't Anymore Attentive To Me Than Any Other Waitress Would Be - Also Noticed At 1 Time There Weren't Any Servers Or Hostess In The Dining Area For About 10 Minutes Straight (I Was Glad I Didn't Need Anything Cause Idk How I Would Have Found Someone read more

Cuco's is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Montgomery. I've eaten there for many years, even before they moved out to Chantilly Pkwy. The food is always on point. I've never had a bad meal there. I typically always ordered the beef enchiladas with double black refried beans, but over the past weekend, I decided to try their taco salad. It did not disappoint. I ordered it with extra meat and extra cheese (on the keto diet), and I am not sure it even needed the extra. It was really delicious, and it was a lot of food so I couldn't even finish the whole thing. They have the best chips and salsa in town. The chips are light and crispy and taste fresh, while the salsa is nice and chunky instead of blended up like you get at some restaurants. The only negative about the restaurant has nothing to do with the food but is instead about the seating. The previous location had much more comfortable seating, while this "new" location has very uncomfortable booth seating. Small price to pay for such good food. The service is great at Cuco's. I always have a good experience there. read more

We decided to try this place out one night late when we were in the area.... we read some reviews but we felt somewhat cautious... we got there, the place was empty, so I immediately was leary. The chips were hot and fresh, the salsa was pretty good. I ordered a margarita, which was the regular and it was awful! I pretty much thought it was going to be a disappointment through and through... and then our food came. Things were flavorful, FRESH, and well excecuted. This isn't "cheap mexican" or "greasy mexican", but it was simple and fresh. I ordered the "half fajitas" and was blown away with the portion. The second margarita I ordered was a bit stronger... but the food was good enough to make up for the watered down drink, and the service was spot on quick and our food came up quick and hot... no wonder the place was empty, they had this down to a science! Yum! read more

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants to eat at in Montgomery. But my last two times eating here, the restaurant has had a horrible sewage smell. These two visits were 3+ weeks apart. I figured the stench would be gone-- but no. I would really recommend getting rid of the smell. Other than that the food is pretty good. read more

Cucos Mexican Cafe is absolutely SUPERB! I have dined at Mexican restaurants all over the world, and Cucos tops them all. My favorites are the enchiladas: crispy exterior, delectable and savory interior, and the most delicious sauce I've ever tasted. The black beans are what the angels in Heaven must eat...exploding with flavor, creamy and sumptuous. They always taste like MORE! The burritos and appetizers are unrivaled. Go to Cucos! You'll have a new Number One Mexican restaurant, for sure! read more

Great place, a bit different from the the typically Montgomery Mexican restaurant. Higher quality ingredients, white corns chips, great drinks. Could use a upgrade in service, but overall not bad. I recommend. By far the best chips and salsa! read more

Worst Tex mex I've ever had. Nice staff. Family friendly. Worst tortilla soup it was slimy and goopy. The rice tastes like that bagged rice you heat up in the microwave. So bad. read more
