Yoooooo, call me a guero all you want, but when it comes to comida corrida y tacos - Don Cuco is my PLACE! They have all the tacos you'd expect, on the smaller sized taco truck style corn tortillas. They have a condiments bar with all the gross veggies I'll never eat, and sauces that make this poor guero cry. Tacos al pastor (with pineapple), and horchata is my go-to. And if it's a Taco day, Don Cuco is my hole in he wall go to that I can't live without. Only recommendation I would make: they need to get into the Birria game. Cuz that Birria biz is taking over the world lol read more

The tacos al pastor (con piña, of course) are bomb. It's 4 tacos/ plate and I usually end up getting two orders, they're so good! The staff is great, they always seem to be busy but are never rude.

I placed a mobile order and was honestly disappointed. I don't live near but was in the area so I figured I'd try it. They only gave me half my order. By the time I realized I was already home, over state lines. I called and they asked if I wanted to go pick up my food, like obviously? I already paid for it!!!!! They took a long time on the phone to locate the other half of my order and obviously now half my food at home is cold. This was a really bad experience and I have no intentions of ever eating food from there again. It was a pick up so I can't really speak for the environment but it's so obvious they do a poor job with online orders. read more

We love Don Cuco but this is just so disappointing. We ordered 2 batches of barbacoa & pastor & 1 batch of bushe. Well at least that's what we thought we ordered. We go to pick up the food and get this. We're having a small family party definitely not enough to feed at least 20 people. Didn't even fill up a batch what so ever then we go to get more sauce and one of the workers tell us not to get any more?? Like we spent close to 200 for that amount of food we got. Never again and I recommend no one to get "batches of food" for a family party or any event. SO DISAPPOINTING. read more

There's a fee for that too!!! I've eaten here for the last time... lots better places to choose from where it won't cost you an arm and a leg to get tacos for two!

Tacos al Pastor were amazing! They come with pineapple pieces on them but you can ask for them to hold on that. Personally wasn't a fan so I just picked off the pieces. They are street style tacos... so yes they are smaller than your normal tacos you would get at another Mexican restaurant. You can choose from an agua fresca, canned soda, alcoholic beverage, or a Mexican soda. The salad bar has tons of toppings: onions, several salsas, limes, jalapeños, etc. The location is easy to find and it's got a super cool vibe. Playing Mexican music on the radio & also they have lots of tables for plenty of customers. read more

There is definitely a common denominator for their menu items but its as if each location has its own lil twist. We found that we still enjoy the westside location more. This new spot however is much, much closer for us. And they have a bigger, better beverage selection PLUS tres leches cake and flan!! Pretty exciting if you ask me lol. Service is just as friendly and wait time is about the same. My fish tacos always come out well after my husband's carne asada burrito. I guess pescado is not quite the norm for orders. Their corn tortillas seem different too, almost more dry and yellow. Their salsa bar is just about the same too. We are still very happy, taco folks with this spot closer. Especially if we feel like having a late night taco sesh, its open until 12am on fridays and Saturdays still. Let the late tacos roll! read more

This was the first restaurant we tried when we moved to El Paso. We used DoorDash, so my rating only reflects our takeout experience. We ordered carnitas, barbacoa, and al pastor tacos. The barbacoa and al pastor tacos were delicious and flavorful. I wasn't as big of a fan of the carnitas tacos. Nothing wrong with them, but the other two were better. They included the standard toppings you'd expect, such as limes, cilantro, diced onions, and a couple types of salsa. We also ordered Jamaica and limonada agua frescas. They were huge and really tasty. I'm sure we'll order from here again and hopefully in person this time so the food tastes even better. read more

The meat is cooked so well and with pineapples!!!!! It is so hard to find good Mexican food in Seattle so this place FILLS MY NEEDS. It's so cheap! You can pay $13~ for a pound of meat and lots of tortillas!! And wow the taste of the meat is so good because it's so perfectly seasoned and I cannot get enough of it!!! The service is probably one of the best I've seen in the entirety of El Paso... the staff is so sweet and so nice and they bring your food to you!

Beans and rice on the side are optional / modest extra charge - they are usually very good and worth adding if you're hungry enough. My favorite sauce is the Chipotle. It's got heat as it's also creamy...I would call it medium (I like spicy food.) If you're getting them to go, you might want the sauce and toppings on the side. They usually ask about that, but occasionally they might forget. Service is usually friendly and efficient even when they are busy. Your food is made to order, so it's fast but not instantaneous. Allow 5-10 minutes for pickup most of the time. The dining room is medium-sized. I would say it's a place to eat and go, not stay and linger.

We ordered the flautas with chipotle sauce and the chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce. The chilaquiles were absolutely amazing. We added a runny egg since we couldn't do chicken, and it gave the dish extra flavor and a good boost of protein. The flautas (which I'd honestly describe more as taquitos dorados) were crunchy and tasty. We liked the chipotle sauce that came with them, but we actually loved dipping them into the chilaquile sauce even more. Overall, it was a great spot to grab breakfast before hitting the road again for many more hours. Highly recommend!
