The greatest thing about this restaurant is the corn tortillas!! They absolutely melt in your mouth as they are so so soft! Costillas en salsa verde (stewed pork) was mediocre, rice too. I had the Guizo de rez (stewed beef) and it was good. Great portion size! The rice was bland. The guacamole was good. Someone posted that this place was a BEST in Texas! Well, I learned that not everyone's reviews can be trusted. We arrived at 1:55. They first brought the salsa and chips, then drink order. After bringing the corn tortillas, we were told that it was now too late to order from there lunch specials that ended at 2pm, even though it was 1:58. Disappointed in that. read more

Stopped in as a party 6 on Friday night. Place was pretty empty. Waitress was nice but she was not bussing the table while we ate, so we resorted to piling trash and empty plates on another nearby empty table. Food was okay, nothing crazy to make you want to come back. Good portion on beef fajitas. A fave spot for older crowd. read more

Nice restaurant in small neighborhood. Food was okay not the best. Service was good, they were very busy and service was not affected by it. This is not my first choice to go eat but I'll go if everyone else wants to, I think other restaurants offer better food my beef flautas meat tasted weird so I didnt eat it but the chicken ones were fine. read more

Best red pozole in town! Definitely recommended! Been a loyal pozole enthusiast for years.

So I haven't been to this place for years, and now I remember why I haven't. The wife was craving their chile relleno. She likes the way they make it, old school type of stuff I guess. From what I remember, the only thing I would order from this place was the enchilada dinner, so I decided to get them again. The bottom line, I will not be back ever! The food is just isn't all that. They beans and rice needed seasoning and the enchiladas were, meh. The positive was a great friendly staff and service. read more

One of the most genuine and authentic restaurants in DFW. I've been a regular for years and the consistency in their exceptional customer service and delicious food is worth making this a stop if you're looking for a quick breakfast / lunch! read more

Trash fajita nachos. Lived in the area for 20 years and realize why we really don't come eat dinner here. How do you screw up fajita nachos? Meat was flavorless, dry almost like jerky. And the red sauce in hubs enchiladas was yuck. Now their breakfast isn't bad. No more dinners for us here! We did enjoy our horchata.. read more

Extremely rude hostess. Yelled at us when told that we had been waiting. People were just walking in and signing up and being called soon after. They saw their mistake on the list and she started yelling that we had been called. She grabbed the menus and threw them on the table. Saw her mumbling but couldn't make out what she was saying. Disgustingly rude!! I love eating here but will not come back or recommend this place. read more

I was disappointed how my chicken quesadilla had absolutely no flavor or my not so colorful rice. Although the service was good, I didn't like the unfavorable taste. read more

Would give it a 5 but meat in the guisos is cut too big . Mango margarita was okay , but i feel it was not worth 10 dollars. read more

On 4/30/22 came here for my 2nd time. Took my mom & sis for their 1st time. Our Caldo & Menudo were not even Hot!! Almost seemed as if Soup had been sitting there or it was someones leftover Caldo de pollo & as if they had reheated it a few times cause the potatoes were all mushy in the caldo, had to get them to warm up my caldo & my sis also had to get her menudo warmed up too...smh They are soooo stingy with their chips & tortillas here & you have to keep asking for more...its not a place neither of us will ever be returning too we all agreed, although service was great & Guadalupe the waitress is such a very sweet waitress & we loved her so much! But, so much needs improvement with quality of food they put out cause warm or tepid caldo just doesnt do it!!! Years ago I ate here once before I can now remember why I kept driving by this place for years...But, we thought we would give it a try & its not a place you would ever brag about or feel like you would want to come back too...the chips are not even Authentic they taste like tostitos chips & although the Salsas taste pretty good the chips just dont do the salsa any justice. So, on our search for another Great Mexican or great Tex-Mex place to go eat at...any suggestions are welcomed! Oh, also on this day there were 2 guys near us at a booth sitting together & my mom happen to see 1 of the guys find a huge shard of broken glass in his Mango margarita we were in such disbelief...anyways we all tried to make light of it & although it was awful to think that he could have cut his mouth or tongue we were glad nothing serious happened to him...I cracked these guys up so much one of them even snorted like a lil piggy when he laughed at my jokes & you know who you are if you guys ever read this...And "member, you member" like Jorge Lopez would say...lol We even cracked up about the margarita being so weak in alcohol that we said it was a "juice box" you were drinking or sunny delight, non-alcoholic & we went on & on about it...I cracked yall up about using Salsa Valentina or Salsa & you guys remember how I told yall to use it...and "member, you member" I even changed my eye glasses & told yall I'd represent yall...We mentioned El martio mexicaño, Brian Loncar & so on & so on...lmbo We wished we would have gotten your names you guys were so sweet & funny too...1of yall or both of yall when you passed by our table to leave...Momma said yall smelled so nice & how funny that We had just came from the mall and I bought "One in a million" cologne for my sons birthday this week...sure wished I would have asked you what you were wearing & gotten your names so we could all go to our next Mexican restaurant adventure & crack up the whole time through especially just to hear your friend snort like a lil piggy when he laughs so hard...you both were very handsome, funny & sweet! Let us know if you find another place so we could try it out with yall too! Sorry you had a bad experience too & wonder if they charged you for your tab at all? read more

Cuquita's Restaurant - Chicken Mole - Mexican Near Me - Farmers Branch, Texas

This isn't a bad hole-in-the-wall joint. Food is decent. Staff is super-friendly and very helpful.

We just moved to the area and we're trying to find our go to neighborhood Mexican food spot and I'm sad to say we did not find it in Cuquitas. We decided to try it for ourselves after reading the reviews and let me tell you, we will not be making that mistake again. This was the most "meh" Mexican food I have ever had. I have never seen my fiancée refuse to eat meal and he barely touched his lengua. The margaritas were like drinking a chunky slushie and left us wondering if they had forgotten to put the tequila in. We will not be returning here, which is sad since we had high hopes. read more

The place looked cool and authentic and by all standards really was. Service was friendly and efficient...so what was the problem? Certainly not the tortillas they bring you, those things rocked! What was it you ask... it was the Nachos that I ordered. I ordered the nachos with taco meat. While there was a little meat, it was drowned in cheese, WAY too much cheese. I could not even eat them there was so much cheese. read more

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars because I seriously love this restaurant. I just wish the salsa were spicier. Other than that, this place is amazing and definitely worth a try. I had lunch today with a party of 20. I always get the chicken mole enchiladas. Apparently I need to try other dishes because everyone else loved their variety of meals. Another thing they loved was an amazing waitress named Rosi. She is probably the best waitress I've seen my entire life. She took on pretty much all the tables by herself quickly, with accuracy and all with a smile on her face. I've never seen anyone like her. I was literally blown away. This place is definitely worth a try. And don't forget to ask for Rosi's section! read more

Came in on a Tuesday around 4:15 pm to have an early dinner. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. I wasn't too crazy for the food. Of course I've had better. I had the guiso de lengua tongue didn't have much flavor was plain and my hubby had the costillas en salsa verde. Sad to say I will not be back. read more

Authentic breakfast. Great salsa. Beautiful service. Cheap. Chilaquiles con chorizo was fire!!

Nachos with chorizo. Holy fudge...that was good. Did not shrimp on the chorizo. Fresh tortillas with butter, chips may be house made but i think they may not be. With that said, we liked the chips. Huge portion for liver snd onions (not my bag of chips but my friend said it was great) Machaca and eggs were good. Lean meat. Tacos were three good sized tacos. Good flsvor, simple decor. Loved it and the place had a lot of latin customers. read more

Upon a revisit I still like Cuquita's. My only complaint the deshebrada, ground beef red enchilada, flameado cheese with chorizo all tasted very similar. The flauta plate was a welcome change and the next time I need a flauta Cuquita's is my place. The rice and beans are phenomenal! The best rice I have had in Dallas! The corn tortillas were tasty and I would order the flameado, be warned it is a large bowl of queso, but tasty. I just wouldn't pair the deshebrada, chorizo flameado, and ground beef red enchilada again though. As a displaced New Mexican Cuquita's is the closest I have been to home in a dinner in a long time. The ambiance, the music, the servers all felt like home. I will be back! read more

Great place. Good food good service good atmosphere great location friendly people. It's all good and very reasonable.

Para empezar las salsa que dan para los chips estaba horrible sin sabor parecía agua , las flautas de carne parecía que la carne era de días sabía a vieja el arroz parecía de días sabía a puro arroz recalentado y para acabar la mecerá tenía una cara de pocos Amigos parecía que estaba enojada. La verdad tenía mucho que no comía en este restaurante pero la verdad la calidad de la comida no es la misma no volveré a venir. no lo recomiendo read more

USA Today lists Cuquita's as one of the best Tex-Mex restaurants in the US. I have to agree. It is kind of a dive but the food is good. I give thumbs up to the corn tortillas, the queso flameado, and the pollo en mole. I will definitely go back and try some of their other items. The only negative I had was that they charge for each soda since it is by the can. This is pretty typical in these small Mexican restaurants. read more

Everything I order was bland, tasteless & flavorless. Even the simple salsas served with chips had very little flavor. Ambience & Inheritors of the restaurants are catchy representing religion & Mexican culture. Staff serving were dressed in a traditional style. Service was fast & reasonably priced. Taste was just mediocre. Horchata was best out of everything we ordered. read more

Stopped in because I was craving some caldo de res but unfortunate for me they had run out and did. It have any at 6pm on a Friday evening. Must be a day thing I guess. Not wanting to leave and find a new place to eat I decided to have fajita nachos. Surprisingly, they were tasty. Not the best nacho but good enough. The service was amazing and I was taken care of quite well. Other than not having caldo on a Friday night, my experience was a good one. read more

Their chicken soup is amazing!!!!! This restaurant has delicious food. Just like grandma's food!!!! Love it!

Great authentic Mexican food! Freshly made Corn tortillas always great ,prompt service. There's always Mexican music playing and a soccer match on the TV. Chips, 2 salsas and fresh corn tortilla to greet you before you order. If your looking for typical Tex Mex this is not your place - go to one of the chain restaurants instead. Great food like this is hard to find in the metroplex. This is a godsend to those of us who love real Mexican food! read more

Nasty food horrible beer horrible smell. Made my stomach turn and do tricks and bubble up and made me throw up.

Good service and also the food is so good I really recommend it there staff is so nice

We were visiting from another state we heard this place was good so we walked in. Food was good, hand made tortillas were thin and just yummy. The problem was we had really bad service from our waitress, from the moment we got there, she was rude, we asked for a side of "grilled peppers" To which replied with a "we charge that extra, and its probably take a long time" Then I asked for a side of green salsa for my flauta order to which she said "we use that salsa for green enchiladas, so if you want some is extra" So the bad service took a lot from the whole food experience, I don't live in the area, we visit every few years and never going back to this place. read more

Very disappointed how the food rating has gone down for me at this place. It used to be really good but multiple times the lengua has been super rough to eat, and the menudo so spicy it's just not good. The waitstaff is always so kind, which is why I hesitated to leave a 3 star rating, but the food definitely needs to improve! Bring back the original cook(s) please! read more

Really good! They had fresh hot tortillas and tortilla chips and salsa delivered to the table as soon as we sat. Food was not bad but not THE BEST Mexican food I've had. Was definitely the best and MOST AUTHENTIC I've had in north Dallas area however! Will def go again and try something else. The prices were so amazing for the amount of food especially. Margarita was super weak. So don't get that unless u request an extra shot. I asked for a side of guacamole and literally got 1 TINYYYY ICE CREAM SCOOP OF GUAC. It was a hot mess and annoying but whatever. Service was pretty janky had to ask for water three times. My margarita came with the food. And it took forever to get our check and another random server had to assist us. We never saw our server after she took our order and brought more salsa. . Service is a lot to me and normally I would take away 2 stars for terrible service. But ...idk imma go back and try again read more

Stopped in for the first time, for lunch on a Saturday. Place was Full House and if you want to know how the Mexican food is, I was the only Gringo there. Chile relleno was very good and the beans were very good, not your average paste to beans but had flavor. Waitresses all friendly and uplift atmosphere. I'll go back. read more

I had ate here about 2 years ago and the food was great. The service was horrible. I decided to give it another try a few days ago. Again the food was great but service was lacking. The waiter was nice and took our order. While waiting for food we ran out of chips and she never showed up to ask if we needed more. We received 2 small baskets for 7 people. She then brought our food out. The food was great but she never brought our sides or offered refills for drinks. We finished eating and sat for about 15 minutes just waiting for our check so I decided to get up and ask the hostess for our checks so we can pay. A few minutes later the waiter comes out and asks if we need to-go boxes, I said yes and I will take my side items to go since we never received them. She took like 7 more minutes to bring the check. This restaurant has alot of potential because the food is great but I rather go eat somewhere where I can at least get a refill without getting up and hunting down my waiter. Customer service is key in the restaurant industry. read more
