El Super Taco has "Super" in the name, but unfortunately, that's about it these days…read more My family and I have been going to this establishment for nearly 35 years -- spanning four generations. The restaurant itself has barely changed over the decades, which honestly never bothered me. What has bothered me is that in all those years, not once have I or my family ever truly felt welcomed there. No greeting. No acknowledgment. No appreciation. I tried not to let that stop me from supporting a small business, because as a small business owner myself, I understand how hard it is to survive and keep a business going. The day before Mother's Day, we stopped by to pick up food for my mother-in-law, who enjoys their soft carne asada tacos. When we walked in, Juventino was sitting on the bench. There was only one customer ahead of us. After that customer ordered, an employee handed another person a pickup order with what seemed like a forced smile -- but at least it was a smile. Then she answered the phone. We stood there for at least five minutes with absolutely no acknowledgment. Nothing. Finally, while the employee was still on the phone, I turned and said hello to Juventino. Only then were we acknowledged, and he smiled. It's amazing how something as simple as a smile or acknowledgment can completely change the atmosphere. When it was finally our turn, we ordered food for three people. Once our order was ready, Mia asked if I wanted salsa. I politely asked if it was possible to get four green salsas and one red salsa. Honestly, I fully expected her to tell me if there was an extra charge for additional salsa, and I was completely willing to pay for it. I also did not see any signs posted stating there would be an extra charge. Instead, she looked at me, walked to the kitchen, and handed me the order without saying anything, which naturally made me believe everything was included. To be clear, this was never about the money. I had already paid extra for two small guacamoles at $1.50 each because I wanted us to enjoy the meal. Had I been told that additional salsa cost extra, I would have gladly paid for it as well. When we arrived at my mother-in-law's house, the salsa order was wrong. Maybe to some people that sounds minor, but after years of feeling unwelcome, it honestly made me sad, frustrated, and unimportant as a customer. I called the restaurant, and Mia said she "didn't hear me." Then she handed the phone to her mother, who immediately told me that I had been rude and that her daughter was "a little girl" and that I had scared her. Her daughter is not a little girl. At some point, we need to stop making excuses for younger generations who lack basic customer service skills such as smiling, acknowledging customers, and saying "please" and "thank you." I will say that she did look presentable and professional in appearance, but kindness and hospitality matter just as much. What's disappointing is that there now appear to be three generations working there, yet no one ever seems happy to be there. No smiles. No warmth. No appreciation toward customers. The food is okay -- sometimes even good -- but never truly great. What keeps people loyal for decades is not just food. It's how you make people feel. Mr. Juventino, please take care of your employees. If they are unhappy, customers feel it immediately. There are many people who would be grateful to have a job and treat customers with kindness and appreciation. - SPANISH: Sr. Juventino, por favor cuide a sus empleados. Si ellos no están felices trabajando allí, los clientes lo sienten inmediatamente. Hay muchas personas que estarían agradecidas de tener un trabajo y tratar a los clientes con amabilidad y aprecio. Lastly, I do not remember the name of the last person I spoke with on the phone, but her final response to me was, "Go ahead and write a bad review," before hanging up on me. I truly wish your business continued success, but after nearly 35 years of support, I do not plan to return. We all need to learn from our mistakes -- myself included. This is actually the first negative review I have ever written, because I usually try to give people grace and understanding, especially as a fellow small business owner. What made this difficult is that this feeling did not come from just one bad day. It came from decades of feeling unwelcome and unappreciated as a customer, and unfortunately, this experience became the final straw that broke the camel's back. I should have gone to "Casa Garcia". -- A disappointed longtime customer

Some places serve food. Some places feel like home…read more That's exactly how I felt walking into Cuca's Restaurant. I stopped in for the machaca and immediately understood why this place has such a loyal following. The beef was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and had that homemade quality that reminds you of breakfasts at your grandparents' house rather than something coming off an assembly line. What really stood out though was watching the sweet woman behind the counter cooking the food as orders came in. There was something comforting about it -- like being invited into someone's kitchen rather than eating at a restaurant. In a world full of trendy spots and over-the-top presentations, Cuca's keeps it simple: good food, good people, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. Sometimes that's all you need

As competition surrounds this establishment it has stood the test of time. The proprietor she's in her 70s and still works her shop.

And to go counter ready to serve of course well know for great Tamales great mix of masa and meat along with other great food. Family is here working wait staff and counter staff. Grandchildren are even on staff. My wife and I has tamales plate. Pork style very succulent and tasty. With rice and beans like mom or grandma made. Food is great old school yet still modern keeping up with the times. Atmosphere as I have said is rustic bur still comfortable and welcoming If your looking for quality not quantity Tamales that are worth the price this is one of the old school. I recommend this establishment because I love how welcoming and makes me feel at home

I personally love their spicy Chilaquiles a la Diabla, but you can choose from verdes, rojos (mild), and con mole (which are my second favorite). Their Oaxacan mole is delicious. I also like that they have the perfect crunch to them. Maybe due to the way the chilaquiles are cut in small squares. I specifically like that they hold up a better crunch than other places. Also, their thinly sliced side of potatoes have a nice O'Brien taste while still tasting Mexican. My mom loves their fish soup. The soup comes with all the garnish on the side that allows you to really find your personal taste. It never gets too busy, but don't let that get you thinking that it's because of the food.
