Love this restaurant It is so good , love to eat here! Very kind waiters, always on time!

Came here with the whole family and everyone loved it! Food was gone within 10 minutes! Special shoutout to our server Daniel. He was quick, efficient, and nice. He always made sure we had a refill of chips! The atmosphere is very chill and laid back as well. Definitely recommend it if you're stopping by! read more

First, the service here is very good. Our waiter was very attentive without being overbearing. The menu is large, but a bit confusing. For instance, I couldn't find a taco dinner. I like soft tacos. I ordered the nachos supreme, and they were excellent and plentiful. Mike had tacos de carnesada and said they were excellent as well. If they only served beer and wine, or if they allowed you to BYOB, this would be our go-to spot. read more

We eat here often food is good never been disappointed we will be returning try the cheese and the fajitas

The food at El toucan is to die for they have the best of everything if they don't, they'll make it like you want it they have some of the best fried fish you'll ever eat the service. These guys are unbelievable. They always following up with drinks tea anything they can help you with and the owner they're fantastic. I've never been to a restaurant is good. It's El Tucan The best Mexican I've ever been around. read more

Traveling through town and stopped here, the people were very friendly, and the restaurant was clean. Food came out quickly, though the flavor left a lot to be desired. I would not suggest the salsa, the nachos or enchiladas. read more

Wow, this place is amazing!! Food is fantastic and waiter was so nice! Prices amazing, and you get a free ice cream after your meal. I went with a small Nacho Supreme and it was LOADED with sour cream, guacamole, shredded chicken, beef and queso. It was amazing and ice cream was delicious. We will definitely be back and bring friends next time. read more

El Tucan - Small nacho supreme - Mexican Near Me - DeQuincy, Louisiana

I will review this restaurant based on the overall quality and flavor of food ... their food is bland, it locks of flavor, spice and salt... we had combination fajitas (beef / chicken) no sizzle but lots of green peppers... served with a slice of lemon ... chips were very thick and salsa was just some cold, deluded tomato sauce ... I ordered side of pico de gallo and a lime which helped with some spice and flavor... sever did not speak any English but got help with the order from a coworker ... service was ok just not very good food ... would not recommend read more

My first chimichanga. I wanted to have food that wasn't the typical fast food enroute and this seemed to fit bill. Food was great and freshly cooked. Friendly staff. read more

My fav Mexican place to eat! Check them out. The food is good and the staff is friendly and attentive! read more

They have great food and great service would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys eating Mexican food

We (a group of 4 adults with a small child) were seated in a corner at small table it was very tight fit. The waiter was nice. It seemed to take a moment for everything. The food was really good! My ONLY food complaint is that I ordered the "Flaming Queso" and it arrived as dried out cheese! I was fully expecting a flaming show for the price! The flavor was good but disappointing since I was looking forward to FLAMING queso! read more

El Tucan - Chimichanga Texana I ordered it to go. They also gave me chips with salsa. The meal was EXCELLENT!! BEST EVER MEXICAN FOOD! Quality! - Mexican Near Me - DeQuincy, Louisiana

After getting a few restaurant suggestions from a couple of people at the school I was working at. I decided to not take up any of them and tried this place instead. Since I'm observing Lent I decided I would get a Shrimp Fajita. Well I ended up getting the Catfish Platter instead. I'm really glad I got the Catfish instead. I've eaten at seafood restaurant all over the US. This would include eating catfish at these restaurant's that claim to have the best tasting Catfish. Well I can say without a doubt besides the Catfish at Cinderella's Cake & Deli in Lafayette, La, El Tucan was delicious. It was hot, crispy, tender and very flavorful. I would definitely stop by this place again. read more

Good food, good service and the kids menu was spot on. Wish they had margaritas though

Delicious food, fast service, clean, and friendly staff. We eat here several times per month, and it's always a great experience!

We've been regular customers for years & are never disappointed. Their fried catfish is out of this world!! We've tried everything on their menu. Our favorites are the Mexican baked potato & the lunch fajitas. Customer Service is top notch & the food comes out so quickly!! read more

Yummy!!! Food is amazing! Definite recommend this place. Chips and salsa are great. Salsa is a little spicy, just the way I like it. read more

My favorite place to go in dequincy! Staff is SO KIND! Food is ALWAYS on point. And the service is sooo fast. We love this place and the people there! read more

Very nice restaurant. Very Clean & Nice Polite Staff! They greet you from the time you walk through the doors until you leave out of the doors! They check on you to serve refills or their Free Ice Cream now you can't beat Free Ice Cream lol! Mutt kiddos love it & its great food if you leave this place hungry then it's your own fault! read more

Very Tex-mex-y. The entrees aren't necessarily anything to write home about, but I love the bean dip with their homemade tortillas! Their chips and salsa are always great, and there's free ice cream. What I love is the service! They're always quick & reliable & friendly. read more

I normally would take away a Star because this place does not have a liquor license (so no margaritas - a crime at any decent Mex place), nor is it BYOB. But this food is legit. I would put this joint up against any Taqueria in Houston - it's that good. Yummy chips & tortillas. Cheese dip is above average. I wish their salsa had some kick, but after ordering the Carbon tacos, I will ask for the sauce/pico mix they serve on the side to use for the chips. It's sooooooooooo good. They are missing out on a golden opportunity to kill it in the chips & salsa department. If the owner would move closer to the Railroad Museum & get a liquor license & a killer margarita menu, this place would be a destination in Calcasieu Parish. Run here. Don't walk. It's that good. read more

The best Mexican food I have eaten in a while. Anytime we go out of town, we are reluctant to eat out, but this was an Extremely pleasant surprise. From the salsa and delicious cheese dip to the flavorful fajitas and enchiladas, they were amazing and on point!! My husband and I were very pleased!! We will definitely come back when we are near Dequincy. Keep up the amazing work!! read more

Hands down, best Mexican in the area. We've tried a few different Mexican places between Dequincy and lake Charles and always compare it to El Tucan. Nothing has come close!! Lunch prices are super reasonable and portions are huge!! Cheese dip, get it. It's amazing. Dinner is more pricey, but you will have to take half your plate home so it's worth the price..huge portions off set that. We've had several different items and haven't been disappointed with anything! My personal favorite is their Chicken chimichanga. We eat here at least once a week read more

quesadilla shrimp thats what i get airy time! get full twice from it and with every bite somebody hearing my feelings for more than anout read more

Great food & friendly staff! The portions are huge too! My husband had the steak & chicken fajitas & I had the Burrito Acapolco & we couldn't finish it. Most Mexican restaurants we've been to will serve you more rice & beans or grilled veggies than meat. That was definitely not the case here. They also serve free hand dipped ice cream cones. Here are the hours as they're not listed above..... Mon thru Thurs 11:00am to 10:00pm Fri & Sat 11:00am to 10:30pm Sunday 11:00am to 10:00pm *it's nice to have a restaurant in DeQuincy opened on Sundays that's not fast food! read more

Super yummy!!! We stopped here from Texas on our way to New Orleans. We were hesitant at first but it was actually very good! The quesadilla's with meat were great and so was the cheese sauce on top of the enchiladas! Our server Max was amazing! He took great care of our large group, our drinks were never empty and he tended to all of our needs. Will definitely stop on our way back! read more

Try the grilled fish tacos! So good! We eat here about once a month and have never had a bad experience. Friendly staff, plenty of seating, freshly prepared food. read more

Great food fast service and free ice cream without a doubt the best Mexican restaurant in southwest Louisiana

Good food and good service. Tried the "Fajitas Across the Border" basically mixed fajitas. This was enough for two and then some. The white cheese dip was very good. I'm sure you too will enjoy this quaint little place. read more

El Tucan - a plate of shrimp with a lemon wedge - Mexican Near Me - DeQuincy, Louisiana

Surprisingly the best restraunt around . I had the shrimp nachos, OMG! Did not leave there hungry. Good, prompt service even at a very busy time. Reasonable prices, Great Food, and complimentary Ice Cream for desert. Not much better than that! Definitely will return. read more

I remember when this place opened. They have the best cheese dip ever! The food is fresh and authentic. Try the Burrito Plus it is amazing!! UGHH..This review is making me hungry for Tucan now!! Nice place to bring the family. Friendly and fast service! You have to try this place it is awesome!! Best Mexican restaurant by far that I've ever been too!! read more

It's crowded for a reason. Fajitas are the bomb. Lunch portion is huge. Hubby got burrito and he took half home. Cheese dip rocks. It was REALLY good. read more

Very good food, portions and wait staff food could have been spiced up a lot more but probably just right for people in the big DQ all in all great place to eat and my son loved the free ice cream when we were leaving read more

So I moved to the area a year ago from south Texas. That being said, THANK GOODNESS WE FOUND THIS PLACE! Large portions for the price, nice staff, clean place, good food. I was hoping to one day find a good Mexican food restaurant around here and El Tucan is the one. I'm always nervous trying new places but with the reviews I read we gave it a try and are glad we did. It looks a little shady from the outside but trust me, it's going to be ok! Hope my review helps someone else find good food! read more

I was very excited to see a Tex-Mex restaurant pop up in DeQuincy! Living in Houston we have the best Tex-Mex around so my expectations were very high. The food was good, needed more seasoning for sure and more heat but I suppose for the area it works. The salsa is OK, needs more heat and cilantro but again good with the chips (the chips are amazing!). The price is a little high in my opinion; we fed 4 people for $80 with tip and that is a little high for a small town restaurant in my opinion. read more
