    We visited Cucos Mexican Cafe due to location Yelp reviews. I was so glad that I decided to try Cucos. It is located in Downtown Montgomery, AL and walking distance from the federal courthouse. The restaurant was very modern and chic and perfect for an up and coming downtown area. We visited during a busy lunch rush and was immediately seated. The waitress took our drink orders and returned shortly to take our lunch orders. I ordered the lunch burrito which came with rice and was surprisingly huge. The burrito was the length of the oval plate. The ingredients seemed fresh and not sitting under a heat lamp in the kitchen. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their meals as well. I will be returning here when I'm in this area.

    Stopped in for quick lunch, the server was exceptionally warm greeting... young crew but they were very hospitable.... the suggestion given was a good choice.... the guacamole dressing was a great suggestion also.

    The chimipoquitos and the Macho Nachos were delicious. They were 4 stars. The service...2 stars at best. The server was not attentive and very forgetful. He brought us menus multiple times...um...we ordered already...and when I was just sitting there after finishing the appetizer and my partner had received his food, he asked me if I wanted anything else...yes I do...the entrée I ordered! He looked at me and a flash of recognition hit his eyes and he RAN back to the window and grab a plate that had been sitting there a while...I guess he forgot that those nachos were for his table!

    Best chips and salsa. Ever. Margaritas were their own special blend, and wish there was another location closer to Decatur Alabama.

    This is a different type of Mexican food: born in New Orleans, it is a Tex/Mex/New Orleans blend that is truly unique.

    This Mexican restaurant has a very different feel than most of your traditional Mexican…read morerestaurants. It didn't have all the Spanish decor and music playing. It has a very open dining room and accent lights along the walls. We had a young man named Jackson as our server. He seemed a bit timid but provided great service. He made suggestions on dishes and made sure we had what we needed as the meal progressed. My friend, who has frequented this place before stated that their menus were new. I have included photos of the food menus. For me, they weren't very user friendly or organized well. Either way, we figured it out. The dishes were generous in portions and very very delicious! I had the meal #44 which is the Naked Pablano Pepper which I got with chicken. My friend took Jackson's recommendation of the #32 which is the Plato de Carnitas. Great experience. Would definitely come back!

    While traveling we found a restaurant with a high rating on Yelp, so we tried it out as our family…read moreis always down for good Mexican! We were seated quickly and the service was friendly. It's a strip mall with two large open rooms that could fit a large crowd if needed. At first glance at the menu some items were a little pricy but it was lunch time so we were able to order from the lunch section that had some good deals. Apps were great! Good Salsa, guacamole, queso but chips were on point! Not too thin or thick, held up to the dips and tasted great. Hubby got a steak burrito similar to a fajita style burrito. It was tasty. One son and I ordered different items from the lunch pick 4 for $12.95. The shredded beef quesadillas, shredded chicken Flauta, beef tostada, chicken tamale and Chile Relleno were are favorites and the burrito and rice were tasty too. Our other son order shrimp enchiladas and there were 3 small shrimp in each of the two enchilada. He said it tasted good but needed more especially for the price. It appeared seafood was over priced and minimal per serving. We look forward to visiting this place again when be travel to Montgomery!

Chips and salsa came very quick and before we knew it, Jose was on the scene and took care of us like family. I only wish Jose was employed at my local Mexican restaurant because he made the night! Food was great which we ordered grilled chicken chimichangas w/beans & rice. Always go with grilled chicken versus shredded chicken...way more flavorful. Beans and rice were your classic staple that were made as expected Grilled chicken tacos were on point and had the right mix of toppings which strangely some Mexican places don't always get right For a late night quick meal in the South where places don't often stay open late, we were glad to stumble across this restaurant and we'll be back before we leave town. But THE hero was Jose, dinner and a show....trust me...to the locals, you have a true gem and hope you take care him. Loved that guy!

    I have to admit. This spot exceeded my expectations. With such a low Yelp rating, I knew they…read morewouldn't win awards, but our experience was overall better than expected. The free chips and salsa were good, the mango frozen margarita generous, and the spicy burrito wasn't bad. Service was quick and friendly enough. We sat outside. Not bad at all!
