    the interior of the restaurant

    Located at the back of the grocery store was this restaurant where you can pretty authentic Mexican food. They had about 4-6 tables there and played great music. Their service was really quick too. And the servers were very friendly. It was absolutely delicious from the birria to the carnitas to the sides like their beans, rice, salsa and chips! The chips was so tasty! It tastes so good with their homemade guac but even if you eat it alone it's still so good! It's very crunchy and it has some type of seasoning they put on it. It's just so good. And their guac serving is pretty massive and it's so good. The birria was so tender and soft and surprisingly the carnitas was too. Crazy about this place next time I have some kind of Mexican craving in the area I'm taking myself here again.

    Woke up with a major hangover from cinco de Mayo and felt like some cure all menudo. The menudo was pretty good. Decently priced, they add a good amount of meat and all basic menudo ingredients are included. The people working were all good people too.

    I've been meaning to post this for awhile........ The food is really good. Chilli Rellenos with sauce, their tacos and the red chicken soup its all so delicious. They are always so friendly, smiling and helpful at the little kitchen area.

    Nestled in the back of the Ranch Market, this little known Mexican food spot has some of the best, most authentic Mexican food I've ever had at a great price. The chefs at La Cocina have access to authentic, traditional, and most importantly fresh ingredients located throughout the market to make for a great place to stop on your lunch break. The food is cheap, they have an extensive menu and a very friendly staff. If you like Mexican food you have to try the food at La Cocina

    Food was delicious!!!…read more I had the nachos and they were very substantial. I asked if the sauces on top had mayo and was told they only have cream Our waiter was great as well, very attentive! I wish I'd gotten his name The music was good but it was a little too loud I couldn't hear the other people at my table, and they are not quiet ladies. The walk to the bathroom was an experience though. It felt like you were entering catacombs so weird. Otherwise everyone working there was nice, all 3 of us love our food, the starter portions were more than enough for one person to have as an entree. Sharing between 2 people would be a good portion but idk the size of entrees because we only got starters. Seemed nice and clean too Enjoyed our time here, we will be back

    The food was great, the drinks refreshing, and the service so polite! But the music was so loud…read more We were sat in the back by the bar with minimal wait on a Saturday night. 6 people and maybe 15 min wait. Our waitress has on break, but this was communicated well and rhe other staff stepped in until she returned. We got a mix of drinks and food and loved every sip and bite. I will say the serving sizes are not what I'm used to for a Mexican restaurant but not tiny, around 2 to 3 tacos per plate. I got the birra tacos and I do wish they would have had a side but it wasn't a huge issue. Now the music for the elephant in the room. It was very loud in the small space. I would say club level, which is a lot for a dining experience. It didn't take away too much, just made talking hard. Another summer specific thing to point out, it is not the standard California A/c situation. We were in not way dying of heat, but it was warm. The day's temperature was around 102° so that of course was taken into account. If you have a group of friends that need some yummy food, this is your spot. Just maybe not a 1st date location, OR the perfect 1st date place

    COCKROACH Believe me!…read more Never thought it would happen to me. First, the host took long and never brought the menu. The waiter brought it, okay. The host brought the tortilla chips. I found a hair in the chips. It was underneath some chips and the rest sticking out. Okay, a hair, asked for new chips from the host since he was passing by and brought the first. I asked for some fresh ones and told him there was a hair in it. Didn't say anything but looked at the chips to see what I was talking about. I got through part of my burrito and felt something oddly crunchy. I was like, wtf, I took it out of my mouth and it was dark and flaky. Part of it looked red and part just too dark. Since I saw what was reddish, I thought it was a roasted pepper , that didn't seem right though. I thought I was a pepper, kept eating. Had some a third of the burrito left and was getting ready to ask for a box. As the waiter was passing, I started looking at the crunchy thing I took out of my mouth and took a closer look. It became more apparent that it was a ROACH . Yes, I unfortunately ate part of it if not most of it. I had been there a few times and never had an issue. I was still in disbelief but asked him what it was. I placed it in his hand. He said it looked like shrimp, that it turns dark when it's cooked, but it still shouldn't be there he said. I was just tripping on it and was like, no, but then was like it has to be. What else could it be? There's no way shrimp gets like that, I don't eat shrimp. I don't know what it turns out looking like... They didn't charge me for the meal. Marco's first reaction though when I told him was like ugh, you're going to put me through this and went off looking back at me. Yes, I put him through it. His service was mediocre but still gave him a decent tip. You tell me what it looks like. I was nauseous and disgusted all night and to this day. UNBELIEVABLE!

    Here's a tighter version that keeps your voice:…read more Cuca's Mexican Food has become a regular spot for our family over the past year. I love their bean and cheese burrito, my son is all about the carne asada burritos, and my daughter surprisingly goes for the burgers and fries. The pink lemonade is always a must, and if they have bread, the tortas are really good. My personal favorite is the Rancho-style breakfast burrito. Only thing I'd change is I wish they offered grilled chicken instead of just pulled. Simple walk-up spot, consistently good food, and easy to keep coming back to.

    I'd like to start by saying that my husband was born and raised here in Redlands, and I've lived…read morehere for the past 35 years. As one can imagine, we have seen many changes over the years here in Redlands, some good, and some not so good. But ... we could always count on Cucas to be GOOD and consistent with their food. However, we both have noticed that lately the burritos aren't the same, specifically the red and green burritos. I've always bragged that Cucas has the best bean/cheese burritos hands-down! But we've noticed that the beans are more dry and pasty now. Cucas' beans were always a little on the runny side all through the years and they were delicious! When I would cut my burrito in half, the beans would come pouring out a little bit ... yum! Not only are the beans now more dry and pasty, but when I order a green burrito, there is literally NO green sauce! I started ordering EXTRA green sauce, and there was still LITTLE to NO green sauce! And I always order sour cream as well, but lately there is a small little squirt at the very top of the burrito, and a small little squirt at the bottom of the burrito, with none in between! What the heck?? I'm sure they wouldn't make their own burrito like that, or their family member's burrito like that! I even started ordered EXTRA sour cream as well, but still there was LITTLE to NO sour cream! The old Cucas NEVER made the burritos like that. Seems to be some "shrink-flation" going on ... ? And let's not forgot that we are charged extra $$$ for the "so called extra" green sauce and sour cream! Unfortunately I will no longer order burritos from Cucas. New people moving to Redlands do not have a comparison, so they just accept this. In closing, I would like to say that the ground beef tacos are bomb! Lot's of meat, not skimpy, and also not skimpy on the sour cream for the tacos, only the burritos. So sad, I miss "old" Cucas from days gone by ... sniff sniff :-(

    After several visits, I can honestly say this is some of the most friendly service in Redlands…read more Always a smile. Then there is the food. I have only tried the tacos. They are too good for me to try other things, so it has been all tacos. I like the combo, al pastor, asada, guisada, and they are great. The rice and especially the beans are very tasty. The place is bright and clean, even the restroom, and well cared for. Redlands has some great vegan choices, more than most towns, and BZ Taco is one of the best.

    First off, I ordered a Horchata Agua Fresca and didn't receive it (UE Delivery)…read more I assume that the high ratings are due to people who lack any taste buds, because there was a very noticeable lack of flavor in everything that I ordered. The Guisada taco was the only meat with any flavor, it was good, but where they messed up is in the tortillas; they were dry and tough...yes, tough. They were not properly heated and should have been brushed with a little bit of oil. 5/10 The asada and al pastor literally had the same flavor. They were bland, needed some additional spice and seasoning. You can taste a bit of the marinade that was used, but it's very subtle. 3/10 "Fish" taco had a good, homemade corn tortilla, soft and pliable, but that's about the best I can say about it. The 3 miniature, skinny filets of fish were a joke. I'm sure the cooks were laughing as they made it. When I opened up the container, my first thought was that they forgot the fish. I had to dig up under all the cabbage to find the minuscule pieces. They should be ashamed. Again, this was very bland just like everything else. 2/10 Salsas: Red-only heat, no flavor. Green-watered down, no flavor, the limes had more flavor than the green salsa. Pineapple-bland, but was the only one that had a bit of flavor. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. This place will go on my NEVER AGAIN list, which is sad because I love to support small businesses, especially vegan/vegetarian ones.

I usually order items with shrimp, and it seems like there is rarely much shrimp in them. The biggest concern for us, though, has been the cleanliness. When we came today, we watched an employee wipe down all of the outside tables using the same rag. At one point she unfolded/extended the rag and it was literally black from how dirty it was. Seeing that same rag being used from table to table honestly made us uncomfortable and didn't seem hygienic at all. We like coming here, so hopefully they can pay a little more attention to cleanliness and consistency with the food because those small things really do make a difference.
