“ I will forever love coming here. The service is always super fast and the food is always delicious. I will say that every time I have ordered Togo something is wrong. A dish is missing, rice is missing, chips didn’t get included, etc. ”
“ Happy hour specials 2-6 were good deal with good margarita and food prices. Service in bar area was decent with fast food delivery. The queso was good but not real hot so got cold quick. Quesadilla and street tacos on happy hour menu were enough for meal and tasty. ”
“ Los Cucos is a definite must visit Mexican restaurant in the Woodlands! The overall experience there was fantastic! The service was excellent, the food was delicious (and not greasy) and the dining area was well maintained, clean, and busy. We came here with recommendations from friends. Yes, there are a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area but we were informed that Los Cucos had excellent food for very friendly prices. I concluded that their recommendation was good. We were greeted and seated rather quickly, even though the dining area was busy. *From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look that big but once you get inside, there's a pretty generous dining area. Soon after being seated, we were immediately greeted by our waiter who brought us drinks, chips and their fantastic salsas. The menu has quite a selection of items to choose from. It is very user-friendly, in the sense that there are photos for each of the foods listed on the menu. I have friends and family members that really appreciate a visual reference for each of the foods. After we ordered our food, it came out relatively quickly and were perfect portions! All of the food was fresh, handmade and most importantly not greasy. I've been to too many restaurants where you are left with a pool of grease but the food here was prepared in authentic Mexican style and was absolutely satisfactory! The spices and sauces tasted authentic and not too much salt, making the meal really enjoyable. The staff here is wonderful and attentive! They really do excel in service which makes a big difference when you're paying for a meal out. They were professional and courteous! In addition for the adventurous, Los Cucos also has Karaoke on Tuesday nights. I give lost Cucos two very big thumbs up! They work hard to provide a great dining experience which includes great service, excellent food and a wonderful ambiance! I definitely recommend Los Cucos for a Mexican meal out! ”
“ We LOVE Los Cucos! You can't find them in Austin anymore, so we visit every time we come to the Woodlands. Elvis, the bartender, is the Best! ”
“ Amazing!! I loved everything! I can’t believe the change this restaurant underwent. I’m glad I went early because by the time I left there was a huge wait line! The chips and salsa were so good followed by the service and the food was delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try something else in the menu. I highly recommend this restaurant! ”
“ The food was so good, and the portions were amazing. I ate my jalapeno chicken and my jalapeno chicken and shrimp balls for 3 days I was not going to let any of it go to waste. I love the charro beans so much js like my mexican grandmother used to make them. Their food is amazing and I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for having us, and the service was outstanding all thanks to our waiter and the cook for serving some flavorful and juicy food ”
“ This is my first visit to this Los Cucos location. 12/3/2024. I'm sitting in front of the Chriatmas tree enjoying the DJ already! The staff is super friendly and very accommodating! The food looks great and the drinks are on point. It's great being here during the holidays and seeing how festive they decorated! I will have to come back again and again... ”
“ My friend and I ordered small house frozen margaritas. They were very good. And an appetizer of queso flameado with beef. It was good but I was really wanting regular chile con queso with beef. I was surprised when this was delivered, but, it was good. We ordered the Delicioso grill special for one and there was plenty of food to share. It came with a grilled fish fillet and grilled shrimp, beef and chicken fajitas, carnitas, grilled onions, mild peppers, and tomatoes. Accompanying it were Spanish rice, charro beans, pico de gallo. The grill was a small one placed on the table and kept the meal sizzling. Very nice touch and very good food. I was leary of the fish , since, when I asked the server what type of fish, he said it was bass. I've never really tried bass, but this grilled fillet was very soft, white, and mild. I enjoyed it ”
