    Chorizo eggs, beans and potatoes
    Richie S.

    Located in Fresno's Chinatown Cuca's serves up delicious homemade Mexican food that brings back lots of nostalgia. The beans were definitely tasty, and the rice was perfect. We also had menudo that had hominy, it's hard to find places that have hominy in their menudo which I absolutely love in it. The 2 item combo was piping hot and made to perfection. This place does only accept cash as payment so please be aware of that. It's definitely a nice quiet spot to get breakfast in downtown, though I usually go to the Tower district location this place does not miss on their food.

    Sitting was quick. As soon as I walked in I sat down. Since I was on my lunch hour. Didn't know what to expect until I walked in. Really clean place. Small but perfect, right In the heart of downtown china town. Their salsa was a good start and the chips were the best, fresh, really good!!! I ordered two enchiladas/chicken plate. The beans and rice are just absolutely delicious. The chicken and enchilada sauce was just mouth watering tastefully amazing. Add some of the salsa on it for a hint and it's just a good mix in all. Not to say my plate came in minutes from ordering. Great service!! Bring your cash and be ready to eat some delicious authentic Mexican food!!

    Food is awesome here in the chinatown area, its small and outdated yes but the food makes up for the aesthetics. my go to is the enchiladas/soft taco combo and the salsa is very good, the enchilada sauce is key and be careful because the refried beans are nice and hot.

    Ripped off Google maps street view.  Will take pics on our next visit!

    Went to Cuca's today for lunch. Awesome food! I ordered Steve's Special; Hard shell taco, Enchilada and Burrito. I opted for Shredded Beef in the Taco and Enchilada and Chile Colorado in the Burrito. All were very good, especially the Chile Colorado in the Burrito. I asked for a taste of the Menudo, and she gave me a generous taste. It's great. 7 day Menudo restaurant downtown....can't be bad. Great mexican food that tastes like your friend's mom made it. These people really care. We have a new favorite Mexican restaurant. We will be back!

    Sunday brunch at Cuca's in China Town Fresno Ca. Menudo and Enchiladas with beans & rice. Best menudo in town! The Enchiladas were very tasty. Can't go wrong ordering these. I usually order the eggs with papas & chorizo with beans, which are my favorite. Come visit them.

    This is one of our to go places when we crave asada tacos or quesadillas…read more Their meat it's so tasty, and very flavorful. They put plenty of cheese in the quesadillas. Their portions are big and very satisfying. We always get the same thing because we love it. Asada tacos, shrimps tacos, quesadillas, and vegan torta. The tacos like I mention before asada meat it's very tender and very tasty, so flavorful. The shrimp tacos come in flour tortilla and they have Mexican rice and cheese. My husband live them. Their asada tacos are with corn tortilla and some beans. Then you add your choice of salsa. I get the torta which they add the refried beans, avocado, and onion and fresh tomato. It is very good. They have Mexican bottled drinks and fountain drinks. Also they have horchata and Jamaica aguas frescas. They salsas are good too. They have red spicy, red mild, green mild and pico de gallo. They have 4 locations now. This place is very popular. Highly recommend.

We…read moreordered carne asada for the tortas and tacos and they literally threw it on the flattop seconds after ordering. Everyone who was working there was kind and attentive. As we were finishing our food they checked in on us to make sure everything was to our liking. There was no bakery aspect but they 100% delivered on fast, fresh and delicious food. Would absolutely visit again to get to try more of their menu! Gracias!

    I don't think I've ever felt betrayed by Yelp reviews...until now…read more During a recent road trip we stopped here to picked up some lunch/dinner because tacos are quick and easy and their Yelp rating is high. Location/services: Upon entering the building I immediately noticed the heat. It was a hot 98 degree day and the restaurant felt like an oven and was maybe 3-5 degree cooler than it was outside. I then quickly noticed this was a very simple operation (almost like a food truck), and not much to the menu, but there were folks sitting and eating and a few others waiting to order, so I assumed the food must be great. We ordered 4 meals (tacos with rice/beans) which was meant to be eaten there but after waiting in line and feeling like we were in a hot box, we decided to make it to go. We sat and waited for our food (about 20 mins), we chatted and observed our surroundings and it became very apparent the restaurant was not maintained with basic cleaning because it was very grimy and just plain dirty. I then used the restroom and it was absolutely disgusting. Our ordered was called and the staff was very nice. The food: As I mentioned, we got 4 orders of tacos (all carne asada) with rice/beans, and we asked for salsa and limes. We got grilled jalapenos, lemons and one sandwhich baggy filled with red salsa. Not a big deal. The meat was fine but the tortillas were inedible. They were tough, flavorless, and greasy. The bean and rice were ok. We ate enough to curb our hunger but none of us finish our food. Upon my best judgement, I had convinced myself that the food was gonna be great because their Yelp rating told me so. I was so wrong! One last note, there was nothing here that resembled a bakery/panaderia. So if you think you could also grab a treat here, you are wrong.

What could have been a disappointing surprise turned into one of the best local dining experiences we've had in a long time. We had the pleasure of meeting Miguel himself, and his hospitality immediately stood out. He took the time to introduce us to several items on the menu and encouraged us to try a little bit of everything. I'm glad he did. The red beans and rice were absolutely phenomenal, and every single thing we tasted was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. You can tell Miguel genuinely cares about both the food and the people he serves. What impressed me most wasn't just the food--it was the atmosphere. Miguel has a gift for making you feel welcome. His heart for hospitality is second to none, and it's obvious that serving great food and creating a great experience are his top priorities. If you're looking for a hidden gem in Clovis, this is it. Whether you're stopping in to catch a game, grab a meal with friends, or enjoy a simple flip-flop date night with your spouse, Miguel's is worth the visit. We'll definitely be back, and I can't recommend this place enough.

    Strange set up. I…read morebeen to many liquor store food places this is a little un organized They have beer but you can't drink here bruh You pick up you drinks from a differnt area from your food ok not a big deal just didn't have a clue where to get items. Food. Tacos pretty bom carnitas but the asada was watery wet. Hella na kills it. Watery asada was not good almost 4$ a taco is bunk also. Place is clean nice. Have tvs for the game but again you can't drink here ? Sucks . They also serve bbq I chile to get a side only "patato salad" plain ass boring patato salad. No stars for that.
