Don Cuco Mexican Restaraunt

4 months ago

My Friend and I are visiting from Tennessee and stayed next door to Don Cucos at the Tangerine. They recommended this restaurant and im so glad they did! The chicken quesadilla was my choice, fish tacos for my friend who said they were the best she ever had! It was delicious & portions were generous! We returned again during our 8 nite stay and were not disappointed!!! Service was quick and excellent as well. Guacamole also very fresh! 10 out of 10 in my opinion! Patio seating was also a plus!

I visited Don Cuco's twice in the same week. Unfortunately the second visit ruined what should have been a great memory. My first visit, I ordered a shrimp quesadilla. It was made so wonderfully. Plump large shrimp with cheese melted from end to end of the quesadilla. The second visit, I wasn't sure if the cook thought he was making a taquito, because everything was rolled in the middle and I was left with big flaps of dried quesadilla. It was slapped together so badly I wondered if I inconvenienced the chef. I was so disappointed with the teaspoon of guacamole I was given. I pointed this out to my server. Thank goodness I did not order a side as I can imagine if it would be equal size. My friend ordered chicken fajita, as she did last week. It was atrocious. When she ordered her fajita last week, she remarked the slices were grilled and seasoned well. This time, she received pieces of tasteless chicken cut and thrown on the grill. I guess the original cook was out of town. Even the margaritas were horrible. I'm not sure what house tequila they use, but it was horrible. Don Cuco's is a long-standing neighborhood restaurant. I had been there many times in the past. My guest likes Mexican food, and was really happy from our first visit. Sometimes a second visit at the same place is not the best choice
