The owner and his staff customized the meal just for our party. Even threw in some fresh stir-fried veggies. The home made tortillas are no joke .... Highly recommend! read more

The carnitas plate was tasty and the homemade tortillas killed me; they were soft and a bit chewy. Perfection, especially when I scooped some of the meat, beans, and rice into the tortilla. The food was served fairly quickly and the service was friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for much more than that. I'm going back to try their other items including tacos and soups. read more

I recommend the carnitas and the tortillas they are supposedly fresh made. The location is very small and it is a very casual ambiance, it's in a small plaza, the plaza is not the cleanest or safest, so please be careful Around the area :) service was good. read more

I use to cook at a Michelin star restaurant, so I think my review for food has some merit. Without a doubt, this place is a gem for Mexican food. To top it off the customer service matches the food.

Ordered for delivery and order was delivered correctly but this is the worst soggy Chile relleno plate, which has huge chunks just aweful of cheese pieces inside, not like a Chile relleno should be stuffed. Gross. And the sauce was drowning it. Not good. read more

Amazing authentic food, everything was delicious! And the service was outstanding. Definitely 5 out of 5, I'll be coming back!

I only have ordered through DoorDash but love this place! Every dish I've ordered has been so tasty and authentic. My husband loves the nachos (they are really packed with yummy flavors). I had the ribs in the red sauce and absolutely love them. Deep rich flavor and the beans and rice on the side hit. Tortillas are handmade. I called before placing the order for information and the woman I spoke to was very kind and helpful. I will absolutely order from them again - didn't get to take pictures lol. Legit was so good read more

We were in the area to take our kid to the LA Discovery Cube and stopped here to pick up some lunch. The food was AMAZING! The burritos were flavorful, and portion size was excellent. The carnitas were some of the best we have ever had. Other Yelp reviewers were right about the chilaquiles burrito with steak being a great choic. Tacos were also generously filled, and our kid loved the horchata. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

Great food and service! I've had the asada breakfast burrito and it was really good. I've also had their corn tortilla quesadilla with asada. read more

Nice little find in Pacoima. I got some tamales from Rosy's Tamales for the holidays, and noticed this little spot right next door. Today I stopped in and grabbed a carne asada burrito. Made to order and perfectly delicious. Great asada! Super nice guy handled taking phone orders and the customers in the store with ease and friendlyness. It smelled so good I ate it in the car and missed a photo op. There are a few tables and chairs in this mostly take out spot. It's a little grungy, but you feel right at home. read more

found them on IG decided to give them a try we placed our order online we get there our drink (horchata) couldn't be fulfilled because they "ran out" really? you just opened 45 min ago? and there's only 3 people inside? uhm okay lol already starting bad. Older lady refused to give us a refund for the drink she said she would go make it quick. Major red flag! sounded fishy already, came back tasted disgusting! She said I told you It's not fresh! why would you give a customer a drink that's not edible to begin with? They made a big deal about replacing their disgusting drink! We got home and our order was wrong ordered a mixta plate but we didn't get that, all we got was carnitas, got more fat than actual meat. We proceeded with the menudo greasy af and the meat was sour? I think it was bad overall. Disgusting food, sh**ty customer service I give them 1 year before they close. read more

Don Cuco's never disappoints. Whenever I visit my parents in Pacoima, I have to stop by and get some of the best home style Mexican food in L.A. Reasonably priced and always tasty. Great tortillas. read more

I don't have any complaints about this carnitas restaurant. The carnitas are so tender and juicy. Pair them with the lard refried beans and you can't go wrong. Even the rice is authentic and delicious. The handmade tortillas were the best!!! I got the carnitas plate so the tortillas came in their larger normal size. I wonder if the tortillas for the tacos are the same size. Regardless they don't use corn meal but actual masa for the tortillas as you can tell how grainy and yellow the tortillas were- I almost want to buy a dozen. The only disappointment was the salsa which was not spicy at all. I would say it was a 2 on a scale of zero to twelve. By far the best idea was ordering their signature carnitas as they were generous with the meat and the sides were delicious. Definitely coming back to try the tacos now that I know it's worth coming to eat!!! read more
