My company catered with them and the experience was fantastic! Drinks were on point, the lemonade was flavorful. Service was excellent as the food and drink were delivered to our office quickly and without issue. I did not dine in at their restaurant yet but I am now hoping to stop by if I am in the area! Thanks Carnitas Don Cuco! read more

We came to a wedding and these guys were catering. Cooked right in front of us. Fresh pressed tortillas. Choice of three types of meats. The boss was really personable. Made conversation. Good business person. read more

EVERYONE LOVES THESE GIANT GORDITAS!!!! They know their customers here and treat everyone like family. Plus, they'll even manage a massive order for an entire film set in, like, twenty minutes (though definitely be nicer than we were and call in advance if you need that). Thank you everyone! read more

It's a quaint little place that I've past plenty of times without knowing it was there. No restroom though. We were more of a fan of the asada than the carnitas. Maybe we needed to ask them to cook it more? The lady who took our order was very nice. The homemade tortillas are to die for, we even took a dozen home. We ordered a carne asada quesadilla which was chefs kiss cheese to carne ratio was amazing. The tacos were also delicious. The creamy green salsa is pretty spicy but great flavor. My favorite salsa was definitely the red. We also had the tamarindo and cucumber limon aguas. The cucumber limon is a must try. Will definitely be back. read more

The Sunday special was a great deal for todays prices. Comes with a pound of carnitas , hand made tortillas, beans ,rice and salsas. For $25 ,you can't beat that price for the delicious flavor. The meat was soft and practically melted in my mouth. Tortillas were freshly made when I ordered it which makes the flavor even better. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend this fine establishment. read more

I think the carnitas tacos here are the best in the valley . They come on a hand made tortilla and for five stars the salsa has to be super good and super spicy ( at least the hottest they offer ) and it was . Service was good and food didn't take long to come out . read more

I stumbled upon this place by pure luck and thanks to Yelp. Finding a good menudo is always a side quest. It's always a good sign when a place is busy and people are coming and going with bags of food. Whether you decide to sit and eat or take it home the flavors do travel well. The service is great, they treat you like family. The food speaks for itself and I've gone back multiple times. Enjoy! read more

Catering service was amazing, thank you for your generosity. Looking forward to working again.

Had Don Cuco cater for my jobs work event and the staff and guests were happy with their food!

Very disappointed in the food!!The menudo was gross It tasted like consomé couldn't eat it. The carnitas were greasy and looked like left overs. What a waste of $75.00 bucks!! read more

The best food ever there carnitas are the best I had the torta my husband had the burrito and my daughter had the tacos it was so good

Hired for our event coming up in May. Had a food testing and the tacos were tasty. Located in a small shopping center. Staff were friendly. I drinks are also refreshing. I had the Horchata and it had the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. The corn tortillas are handmade. Meat is tender and tasty. The next time, I want to try the burritos but I'm such a sucker for the good ole' street tacos! YUMM read more

Always amazing food and taste great every time. Always get the asada tacos and they hit every time.

I stopped by on a Sunday around lunch time and this place was pretty crowded. It's a small mom and pop restaurant with great food and great service. I recommend calling or placing your order online. I ordered the costillas en salsa verde plate and the chicharrón en salsa verde plate. Both dishes had great flavor. I wish the salsa was a little spicier but it was still really good. The ribs were perfectly cooked. the meat was super tender and falling off the bone. They also had fresh hand made tortillas. If you're nearby you should definitely stop by. read more

Food was absolutely delicious -- easily top 10 best carnitas in the Valley. For a small mom-and-pop shop that was busy on a Saturday morning, the service was great. You just have to be patient, which is completely understandable. Personally, waiting about 2 minutes in line is nothing, especially when they were handling multiple large catering orders. The ambiance is small but has a warm, homey feel that makes you feel welcome. Definitely well worth the visit. I ordered the tacos mixtos and the barbacoa, and both were incredibly delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I had to place a very last minute catering order for 50/60 people, and the team at Carnitas Don Cuco pulled through! They helped me decide what items to serve and quantities of each to make sure there was plenty of food, and in the end everything turned out amazing! Will be ordering from them again for sure. read more

This place doesn't miss!! The chilaquiles with Carnitas is easily the best in the area. Abraham doesn't only make great food but is welcoming and creates a great environment. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and come to this spot. You won't regret it. read more

Carnitas Don Cuco - The Chilaquiles Con Carnitas Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Pacoima, California

My wife recently discovered this place recently on Yelp. It was so good the first time that we returned again two days later but this time with my parents to try it. We ordered two plates of carnitas, a plate de molcajete, aguas frescas, and a green tortilla ( St. Patrick's day) with asada. Everything was absolutely tasty. The carnitas are some of the best I've had in a long time. They were flavorful with the right amount of seasoning and weren't dry. The molcajete, served with asada, was out of this world with a bit of a kick. Both plates were served with large generous portions and the prices are very great. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The tacos are yummy . Our favorites are the carnitas and the asada tacos. You have to order the beans and chips.

On a trip south from the beautiful Bakersfield area I stopped by this small Carnitas shop. I ordered the Carnitas plate, rice, and beans. I thought it was really good, I would have appreciated better salsa options. It is tiny inside and is a solid choice to get Carnitas and many other options for large groups. read more
