Totally unremarkable food – Watered down drinks and a melted mix of refried beans and cheese with the smallest sliver of avocado. Do yourself a favor and eat across the street.

Don Cuco - doin' it well – Don Cuco's is awesome. For the reviewers who disagree, you'll just have to enjoy a life of mediocrity across the street at that chain restaurant, El Torito...enjoy your picture menu. For those with elevated tastes, you're in for a treat. Keep in mind, this is a real place, so you may have to wait, you may be inconvenienced, but just grab a drink from the bar and chill til your table's ready. Then enjoy some of the best margarita's and mexican food in L.A.

Mexican food at its best! – So I stumbled upon this restaurant this past weekend....and am very glad I did. The food is excellent....the service was as well...we never ran out of anything...our chips were always full...my drink constantly being refilled, and we were seated promptly. Our bill was more then reasonable, so we tipped very well because we had some of the best service we have had in Los Angeles. I had a chicken burrito...and it was huge...i had tons of leftovers i would recommend this burrito if you are very hungr... read more

this is the greatest dark mexican place to have strong drinks and great food with friends – I have been going here for almost ten years, and I have celebrated many milestones here. I call it my "happy place" - you can't be unhappy here unless you are just determined to be! the margaritas are amazing - ask for a schooner and you get a double sized one for a good price (I have no idea how much). I think it is important for a mexican restaurant to be dark, cozy and have great food. My recommendation is the enchiladas suiza - so... read more

RUDE SERVICE!!!!! – I was not only unimpressed by Don Cuco's below average cuisine...but the service was slow, and the bartenders were rude. Oh, by the way I got VIOLENTLY ill from this horrific restaurant...DO NOT GO...unless you want to deal with rude employees and illness.

OUTSTANDING – I HAVE BEEN TO THIS RESTAURANT SERVERAL TIMES AND FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T STOP COMING HERE I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THE INFAMOUS MARGARITAS, YOU HAVE TO TRY THEM, DON CUCO HIMSELF IS THE "MARGARITA KING". OH AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY LOCATION YOU SHOULD DEFINATELY ALSO TRY BRUNCH AND BUFFET AT GLENDALES LOCATION.

Mindblowing – I visited this establishment in September whilst on vacation from Ireland. I wasnt expecting much but was totally blown away. The Margaritas were sensational Im now back in Ireland everyday pining for their margarita. Go with a local and get them to order the steak stuffed with shrimp (not on current menu) sensational. I cried when I had to leave that balmy Tuesday evening in September.

Great Little Restaurant with Beatuiful People – The small restaurant is awesome, food tastes great and the service once you get your table is awesome! You have to wait for a table on teh weekends, but that is OK because you can enjoy the margaritas! These are best on the rocks, but most people get them blended. Also ask for the house special habanero sauce, it is really good and gives a real KICK. Only locals ask for the sauce normally, but it is great!
