    Happy hour Quesadillas and Strawberry Margaritas
    Celia H.

    Stopped into Los Cucos to check out their happy hour. Enjoyed a strawberry margarita, chicken quesadilla, and a taco. The food was great, the bartenders were friendly and courteous. The restrooms were very clean and well maintained. I've had dinner here before and all their meals are moderately priced and delicious. Will definitely visit again.

    If you want to taste fresco, have a seat at LOS CUCOS for a Mexican cuisine experience! It is founded right here in Houston, Texas but has grown across the country with locations even in Vegas. This family owned Mexican restaurant offers plates that include quesadillas, nachos, flautas, stuffed jalapeños, soup, stuffed avocados, grill specials, and birria tacos ! The flavor was superb in all of the items we had on this visit and our server Armando was top notch, very attentive and efficient. Great overall atmosphere that my family and I enjoyed. Don't skip the fresh made guac from the tableside guac cart that comes by! We especially enjoyed the seafood (fish + shrimp) plus beef on our grill. Juicy and tender meats that are seasoned well and go hand in hand with the hot tortillas. This location is right on Hwy 90 in Katy and has plenty of parking in the strip plaza its located in. There seems to be a private dining area, two separate areas with both tables and booths for dining, as well as a bar all the way in the back near the kitchen area.

    We love the service and the food. Their chips are amazing and do crunchy. It's a pretty authentic Mexican restaurant. The ambiance is family friendly and a good place to enjoy a few drinks too.

    I met a friend here for lunch and had a bit of a hard time finding vegetarian options. These are usually pretty easy in Mexican restaurants, but not here. I ended up getting the mix and match enchiladas dinner, and it was definitely large enough for two meals. Most Mexican restaurants on the east coast use white cheese, but this one used yellow. The white seems milder and creamier to me, but who knows. Also, I definitely recommend adding a vegetarian section with options! Thanks.

    Margarita time!  Texas bars may be closed but not the restaurants (yet)

    Los Cucos has managed to be open and give their patrons great service in a COVID-19 safe manner. On my most recent visit we actually started the evening at another location but there was a huge line. It wasn't the line that bothered me, it was the incompetence of the restaurant that made me leave. On arrival at Los Cucos we found that they set up a drive through out side the front and also made limited tables available inside as long as the guest wore a mask when not at a table. We went inside. The service was better than in the past. With fewer patrons it felt we were getting more personal service. The food and margaritas were as always. Los Cucos is a good family style texmex restaurant. We left full and happy

It's one of our special spots now because every visit feels like we're coming home. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the owner with such genuine warmth that we instantly felt like family. It reminded me of being at my grandma's house, where everyone is welcomed with a smile and every meal is made with love. The food is incredible--fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Not only is the quality outstanding, but the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth. It's becoming harder to find restaurants that offer both amazing quality and great portion sizes, and Castillo's delivers on both. The service is just as exceptional. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and truly cares about making your experience memorable. If you're looking for a place with delicious homemade food, generous portions, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, Castillo's is the place to go. My wife and I will definitely be back many more times. Highly recommend!

    There is no greater feeling than walking in to a restaurant that you haven't been to in months, and…read moreseeing that the personnel has not changed (employee retention is a bonus for me!) and your favorite bartender is eager to great you and has missed your presence, and even recently thought about you - maybe thats what summoned us to go out to eat last night LOL. Dom is such a bright cheery presence and its authentic; as well as the other bar staff that brings chips, salsa & waters!! Even the hostess (no matter which of the two we've seen) is genuine about their greetings. It's a comfortable atmosphere! They decorated for Christmas - another huge bonus for me Last night, we got a marg (obviously!) and a Shrimp Botana Mix but since we have different preferences on the fried vs bacon-wrapped shrimp, yes I'm the weirdo that doesn't care for bacon, Dom suggested 2 of each to make us both happy. It hit the spot! Perfect portion to share, filled us up. It's my favorite appetizer- some nachos, quesadillas, shrimp, guac, flautas ... you get it all I'm really not sure why this place does bot have more stars !

The server came and greeted us and took our drink order and appetizer order. We were off to a good start. I am not sure how the sections were laid out but the restaurant wasn't packed. Our drinks were delivered and then there was a longer than expected wait to place our entrees order. The server finally came back answering our questions and took our entrees order. When the guacamole was delivered to our table, we had to asked for small plates. And then we had to ask for small plates... we finally got small plates. I am guessing the manager was visiting tables and brought us a couple of hot tortillas... I thought he was going to make small talk with us but he didn't. Our entrees were delivered to the table, one order was missing ranchero beans, so we asked for ranchero beans and the server asked if it was ok to bring out another set of rice and beans. To which was replied, yes. Another dinning companion asked for another fork because the fork was dirty. The server said ok. Then we asked for the beans and the fork. Then we asked for the beans and the fork. The server replied the forks are up front and she went up front and brought back the wrapped flatware set. Then we waited.. the server came by and asked if we need refills then brought the refills and we asked about the beans. The server walked away. And then came back with the beans. 2 observations, 1. why did the server always reach across the table to serve people plates instead of walking to the other side of the table? 2. Why did the server never apologize for forgetting things we asked for? The service just went downhill, I don't expect perfection but I do hope for courtesy service. Maybe it is time for more training. The food... The guacamole was very good. The chips were crispy, nice crunch and held up to the guacamole. The chicken enchiladas with mole sauce was meh. The chicken did not have a lot of flavor. Too bad the chicken wasn't cooked in the sauce or braised in the sauce. Disappointed.
