Cuates Kitchen

Came in on a late Saturday morning and we were able to put in our order quickly. We waited very…read morelittle to receive our food. The mushroom quesadillas were soo tasty, i think they seasoned the mushrooms similarly to how to seasoned the chorizo. The suadero was tender and the salsas paired perfectly. The chorizo taco was also really yummy and the carne asada tacos were not too heavy. It wasn't loud or crowded but also not empty. It was a great pit stop when we ran around a that day.

Carne asada, chicken and Barbacoa tacos were all great with the carne asada as my favorite. Not…read morechewy and flavored pretty well. Chicken was pretty good too as sometimes it can get dry but they did a solid job cooking this. Barbacoa was super juicy and flavorful. The 3 salsas they have are great too but none of them were too spicy. You have to pay for water (like 2-3 dollars for a bottle) which is kinda silly. Chips and salsa were mediocre since the chips were really cold and definitely not fresh.

Absolutely loved our visit to Cuates Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and quick to offer recommendations. We started with a round of their house margaritas. The star of the night, however, was the Enmoladas. The mole sauce was rich and flavorful, with a depth of spice and chocolate that was both authentic and comforting. The tortillas were soft, and the filling was generous and satisfying. If you're looking for a neighborhood gem with delicious food and excellent drinks, Cuates Kitchen is a must-try. read more

So thinking we showed up for our reservation, this location says they don't take reservations. They stop at is anyway, which was nice. We were seated on the porch, and here's where things got weird. We ordered our drinks and when the drinks were delivered, we said we were ready to order, and the waitress, hesitated and then said she would be back. Kinda strange, but eventually we had our order taken. I ordered a mango agua fresca which was pretty good. The complementary chips and salsas were also really good. For an entree I had the Tempura Fried Fish Tacos. These were very good and the coleslaw served with them was very good- crunch and bright. Overall the food here is pretty solid. The service was a bit off, but not a deal breaker, just be prepared to wait a while to have your order taken.

However, they kept the Sue and added -ño as a suffix, flipped-flopped barbecue for Mexican cuisine, and we got something surely remarkable as a result. Sorry, I had to get a little goofy with that small observation. Upon entering the lumbering drawbridge-like doors, we are treated to a dimly lit cavernous elegance sure to intrigue, but also a splendid indoor-outdoor atrium (with a plethora of real plants, not artificial) that is perfect if you want to have a little outside ambience while avoiding the 100+ degree heat of Texas summer. I heard the cocktails are worth coming to alone, as I witnessed two young men spending an hour sampling those and abstaining from any food for their visit. I didn't have enough time to peruse the main menu, but the brunch menu was a homerun with every item sounding like a winner. The meal I ordered appeared deceptively small-portioned, but it was anything but as I made it halfway through and realized I was already full. Also, while you're enjoying the spread, take a moment to appreciate the handcrafted plates with little indentations for where your thumb can hold them. And the coffee and mug that it came in were absolutely transcendent. It's the little attention to detail that really sold me on everything. My only caveat is that the bathroom is quite a hike down some long corridors, but you might need the exercise if you ate as much as I did. Sueño is a truly lovely experience. I can't wait to come back for an early-evening dinner! It's only a matter of time before my four stars turn into five.

The chicken was fine, although I thought it was a little salty and dry. We also really enjoyed the chips and salsa. The frozen mango strawberries margaritas is a must. What made the experience even more memorable was that we happened to sit next to the owner, who was hanging out with one of his high school friends. It was pretty cool seeing that kind of relaxed, personal atmosphere. The servers were friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was fantastic.
