Wow. Just wow. My family and I went here, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant -- and we all ended up in the ER with food poisoning. My husband didn't eat his food because his ceviche was room temperature... he was the only one who didn't get sick. Another review mentioned the same thing, so clearly something is grossly wrong in the kitchen. And let's talk about the food: it wasn't even good. Overpriced, underwhelming, and not worth a single penny. The drinks? Expensive and disappointing. Honestly, this place is a health hazard disguised as a restaurant. Avoid at all costs. read more

Hacienda Don Cuco - Want to end up in the er Eat here - Mexican Near Me - Lancaster, California

I visited Havienda Don Cuco with my family during an unfortunate reunion to celebrate the life of my uncle. We all met up here for the first time in a long time. The staff were super professional and kind with the busy commotion. The restaurant itself is cozy and nicely decorated. Because we were a large group, we sat in the middle at the large table. We had called earlier in the day to reserve a spot and everything was prepared for us upon arrival. The menu had lots of options for everyone, including my vegetarian aunt, so this was great. We all enjoyed our large meals (enough to take back to the hotels and enjoy later). All of our drinks were always filled, which is amazing considering there were 15 of us. I was really impressed with how hard working the staff were for this and was the highlight of the restaurant hands down. read more

We returned on a Friday this time, atmosphere was definitely busier but still did not disappoint. As busy as it was the service was still razor sharp and excellent. We decided to continue with new menu items and drinks, this is kinda our thing. We love trying everything that is offered and leaving honest reviews. Once again, delicious. This time we had a Molcajete, Cuco burger (double with bacon), camarones Cuco and 2 mixed drinks. (Skinny mango margarita and a Paloma, both large) We asked for a spicy option on the choices because we love a good kick! I noticed after the request that the food was served with jalapeños on top which if it's normal or not, was a pretty nice addition. We appreciated the accompaniment. The drinks definitely felt value added. If you're not looking to spend too much or get tipsy, stick with the smaller size. The largest was perfect for us. Next visit hopefully we make room for dessert items. Side note - karaoke was on fire, music choices were great and the dj swung by and said hello. Very lively atmosphere. read more

Hacienda Don Cuco's stands out in a lot of ways. First of all the food here is really good, they have all of the classic options and I have never left hungry or unsatisfied with my meal, it's truly a great value. They they also have a new sushi menu that is actually really good offering Mexican fusion sushi that is unlike anything I have ever tasted and truly hits the spot if you're craving sushi, my new goto for sushi in the AV! Their bar is excellent and offers up some seriously well made cocktails and drink options. The atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice and their bartenders are great. They have fresh beer on tap and some really good margaritas. They have a full bar though and will make you anything you want which is great. Most importantly the staff and service here is rock solid. Super attentive and friendly, they never fail to make my experience a great one. I really enjoy the live music too, it really sets it apart from other restaurants in the area. You can really tell that the owners here take pride in providing good food, unique variety, and quality service ! 10/10 read more

Our bill was a hundred and fifty dollars! 3 margaritas at the cost of fifteen dollars each. The bear was seventeen dollars each. The food was better than it was a couple years ago. I really wish they would have not sold the restaurant. Spokennoise because back in the day when they had brunch everything was amazing. read more

The ambiance and service were very good. The food was barely passable. I ordered a spicy skinny margarita and received a bowl of an overly sweet concoction that was not spicy at all and tasted like a supermarket margarita mix. The steak for the fajitas had to be fished out of a mountain of overcooked peppers and onions. Overall, disappointing. read more

Had lunch on Wednesday service awesome chips and salsa awesome taco lunch plate awesome enchilada lunch plate awesome flautas were awesome but we ordered a Chile Relleno was very cheesy it looked great but it had no flavor except for the freezer taste they are a simple make so I don't understand why they feel they need to freeze them but that's the only reason for a four star read more

We had dinner reservations for 8 on Mother's Day 2025. Everything was perfect, our waitress Samantha did an amazing job with our orders and our requests. We had a large variety of menu orders, and all of the food was very well prepared and tasted great. It was an event to remember. Thank you, Don Cuco. read more

Got the deep fried ice cream and it literally looks like ice cream rolled in corn flakes which became soggy and had no flavor at all it ice cream wasn't fried at all I have ordered this from many other companies and this was sad read more

Hands down the BEST Huevos Rancheros EVER!!! Great place for a Sunday brunch, very quiet spot. I highly recommend!

I've eaten there before, and the food is fine. I'm writing this review because I went there for karaoke last night and when the friendly bartender asked me what size drink, I asked for a large. She did not tell me that the large drink was $40. Ridiculously expensive. read more

Excellent service and nice twist to traditional Mexican dishes. Food is freshly made and presented well. Mojara frita was cooked to perfection, salad was crispy green and chilled. Well presented by having fish in vertical position, which makes practical sense given the generous serving. Will definitely go back to Hacienda Don Cuco! read more

No words can describe... My husband and I ate here about 4 days ago. We've been a few times many years ago, and thought we'd enjoy late lunch. Fast forward a few hours and I'm in the throes of full food poisoning. Gut wrenching agony and all of the 'things' that goes along with it. I order food to go and yep, you guessed it. My son was down with it as well. My husband ordered a different meal, so he lucked out. This place needs the food inspectors attention now. I see from other recent posts, that this seems to be a problem for this place. My advice? Stay clear- run far, run wide. read more

Food was not good and overpriced charges a debit card fee which isn't legal?? Sushi tasted un fresh and distasteful molcajete is overpriced for 3 pieces of meat wouldn't recommend read more

Under incredible new management... just what this old spot needed. out with old and in with the New. I have to say, the food and service were excellent. Now it's not Beverly Hills or a bogie restaurant stretching our Mexican Cuisine but instead it's great place for lunch or dining in our community. it even has a great bar setting. The food... I always have to ask... Do you make everything including your Taquitos or do they come in a box? the Answer is, they make it to order. So it's not frozen or pre made from Cisco or Restaurant depot! I've owned two restaurants so I dint take this for granted at all. then I have to taste three major components to get a good feel of the Chef...Salsa, beans and Rice! I must give the Salsa a 10, the Beans an 8 and the rice an 8 only because It's missing Moms je ne sais quoi that "Sason" you know what I mean? But Trust me, it was Delicious! Rice isn't lumpy it's aery and well seasoned and the Refries beans not greasy, just right, great for little Bean taquitos! We tried soups and meats and they were fantastic. I personally have to recommend the Encholadas Mazatlán!!! Marco, You really out did yourself. you should be proud of that dish. shrimp, real crab meat and that sauce and cheese... wow! amazing flavor. I would keep going but instead, I will visits again and again... and repost and share more about Marco's Don Cuco and his staff! great food, awesome atmosphere. Go visit it ... you will love it... and try their Flan!!! Probecho read more

Only reason why I'm giving a 5 star is for our server Erick Had a wedding reception there for my in laws, they requested him and he totally made it all go smoothly with a bunch of hungry people Food was alright though.. nothing special. read more

I am updating my review because the several times we have been there since my initial review, the food has been so good for everyone in the family. This will easily go up to 5 stars when the service, which is very friendly and accommodating, is still on the slow side. Even with that, my rating is upgraded to 4.5 stars. It really is a solid place to get a meal you will not be disappointed with for a reasonable price. Keep up the great work! read more

I almost always enjoy the food, service and atmosphere of this place. One of my go to favorites is the Enchiladas Mazatlan. A fabulous seafood creation of crab, fish and shrimp all rolled together and covered with a fabulous cream sauce. read more

Came in tonight Eric was great great service great tacos...Thank you for having the music down so we can actually talk... thank you for listening too your guest read more

Food took 1 & 1/2 hours for service The restaurant looks like it did 20 years ago. no renovation applied. rusty and crusty sticky tables. One broken bathroom toilet brokwhen the kids went to use it. read more

Highly unlikely we'll be returning. The service was great but the food was contaminated. Something happened. My entire family got sick. First started with me, then my daughter and wife. Now my son. Idk but something's wrong and I sent my plate back immediately after the first bite. Something told me not to finish it. Unfortunately my family finished their plates. Proceed with caution. read more

I'm reviewing for a second time just to say Don Cuco has some of the nicest staff around. Every single one of them work so hard, go above and beyond and are so friendly. The food is always amazing, top notch drinks that always hit the spot and we have never been disappointed with either. That said, having attentive staff who remember your favorites makes it a go to spot for sure. Can't wait to go back. read more

One star for the chips and salsa, they taste great. There food is not good... it's bland no flavor. My brother order garlic shrimp and comes with rice and cheese. Or more like loads of cheese with little to no rice... My shrimp cocktail had a mountain of cilantro and the shrimp had no taste... please Don Cuco , add a little salt at least. I had to fix the cocktail with lemon, tapatío and lots of salt, but the shrimp couldn't make it taste better. Also they chopped chunk of tomatoes it looked very sloppy. read more

We were seated pretty quickly which is a plus, but it wasn't really busy . The table was a little sticky. I was looking at the walls and couldn't help but notice brown paint or liquid that looks like it was running down and dried. Not sure if that was part of the decoration, if so that's weird . The seats were a little old and look like some parts were peeling?? The food was decent. The service was not so great. I had to ask for water and napkins at least 3 times (about 15 minutes). Usually, water and napkins is the first thing you get when you're seated at a restaurant. I had to flag down a waiter for our check , waited over 15 minutes for someone to bring us the check. The place could use some renovations and more help. read more

Chef Love, He stands by his food. If you are not happy with your meal speak to him or to the people working there and they will do what they can to make you happy. I will be going there again to have a meal. Circumstances had caused issues with service the day I went. Stuff happens. read more

We came in today for some lunch around 1230. They were not busy at all. There was about 2 or 3 other tables with people. The rest of the restaurant was empty. We got sat down and had our order taken. First order of drinks came out in a timely manner. But we were not offered any refils and our waiter didnt check on us at all for avout 40 minutes. Keep in mind the restaurant was pretty much empty. It took well over 45 minutes for us to get our food. My food was bland and room temperature. They forgot to bring several of our party tortillas. And we had to wait another 10 minutes for those to come which made our food even colder than it already was. We also ordered guacamole when we first sat down for our chips and salsa. That didn't come out till about an hour of us being there and they had to ve reminded of it.... also the price of a Michelada was insane it was $17.95 plus tax... save your time and money. Go somewhere else. This restaurant is old inside, dusty, seats all ran down, poor service, and mediocre food. There are several other Mexican restraunts within 10 minutes that are way better. read more

Just too expensive for what you get. Server was nice and the food was okay, but I paid $60 for a taco and enchilada combo; add a salad and a medium margarita. read more
