Our daughter took us to this place on our visit to Katy. I opted to get fish and shrimp. It was ok. Our daughter got the combo platter and my husband got the beef chimichanga. Both their dishes were really good. The service was good and the place looked really nice. We would go there again. read more

Stopped into Los Cucos to check out their happy hour. Enjoyed a strawberry margarita, chicken quesadilla, and a taco. The food was great, the bartenders were friendly and courteous. The restrooms were very clean and well maintained. I've had dinner here before and all their meals are moderately priced and delicious. Will definitely visit again. read more

I don't recommend a place that has servers and waiters that are rude and unprofessional. They were rude and unfriendly. When you ask a question you are ignored. We've been several times, but this time was not a good time. read more

Visiting family in the area, and really enjoyed our first visit to this legendary restaurant! The staff was very accommodating of the little kiddos we brought, and we greatly appreciated the combination of speed, patience, and friendliness of the staff! They have plenty of parking, seating, and play great Latino music to accompany whatever game is playing on the TVs. Favorite dish was the Pescado Cancun (~$25), which came with scallops, crab, and plenty of rice/frijoles charros. Would order it again, and hope to visit the next time we're in town. read more

If you want to taste fresco, have a seat at LOS CUCOS for a Mexican cuisine experience! It is founded right here in Houston, Texas but has grown across the country with locations even in Vegas. This family owned Mexican restaurant offers plates that include quesadillas, nachos, flautas, stuffed jalapeños, soup, stuffed avocados, grill specials, and birria tacos ! The flavor was superb in all of the items we had on this visit and our server Armando was top notch, very attentive and efficient. Great overall atmosphere that my family and I enjoyed. Don't skip the fresh made guac from the tableside guac cart that comes by! We especially enjoyed the seafood (fish + shrimp) plus beef on our grill. Juicy and tender meats that are seasoned well and go hand in hand with the hot tortillas. This location is right on Hwy 90 in Katy and has plenty of parking in the strip plaza its located in. There seems to be a private dining area, two separate areas with both tables and booths for dining, as well as a bar all the way in the back near the kitchen area. read more

Service and food is always amazing. I only order the stuffed avocado because they do it amazingly. Ambiance is always on point.

Weekdays before like 4 there's not very many people here and the salsa is amazing. I absolutely love the red salsa. It's very much a Texan Mexican place, so plenty of options for kids that aren't spicy. The parking lot is large because it's in a center, so it shares parking, but if you go on a busy day and it's rainy bring the umbrella because you will be walking in the rain. read more

Oh, boy. Hoping this was just an off night for everyone, from the kitchen to our server, who made it clear they would literally rather be -anywhere- doing -anything- else. The food was bland and didn't look or taste fresh. A salad had the palest, saddest-looking tomato wedges I've ever seen (this is not an exaggeration). Everything was lackluster and the server actually put a pall on the rest. Have eaten here once in a while for years, but won't be back anytime soon. read more

Yesterday my wife and I stopped from lunch, when the waiter took our order, within 2 minutes our food order was delivered to our table. I prefer if our order is taken. Sent to the kitchen and made. Unfortunately our food order was not very good and believe that Fajitas were old and dry ! Please slow down and good the food to be fresh read more

Food is excellent, let me bring my dog if I in the patio area. You should go, good margaritas

Food is still amazing, but prices went up due to COVID and they haven't gone back down in the last few years. Enchiladas don't require a $15 price tag. Cheese, chicken or beef, roll into a flour or corn tortilla and toss on some mole, then bake for 20 min. read more

The food was good and we were seated right away. I loved the decorations. The server was TERRIBLE. He had the most don't care attitude and face. Didn't come by once to ask how the food was. Didn't ask if we wanted dessert. Just brought the check. They need to work on hiring better staff. read more

Food- stale, salty, avocado brown, cheese was weird, mixed drinks still had the mix on the bottom of the glass. BAD! Service-Good, not great. Ambiance- Off the charts LOUD, dirty, bathroom was a science experiment, people had to yell at one another to be heard due to the music being so loud. Happy Birthday was sung three times and the staff was screaming, just screaming! Used to be good went down hill in two years. We used to go twice a week, we will not be returning ever again. read more

The food is always 10 out of 10! The servers are very kind. I make sure I eat here anytime I come back to katy from school!! No mexican food as good as los cucos in Hawaii. read more

Food was very good but the service was so bad... beer is overpriced! Ambience was good but many tables were needing to be cleared around us, that made it not look good. read more

I met a friend here for lunch and had a bit of a hard time finding vegetarian options. These are usually pretty easy in Mexican restaurants, but not here. I ended up getting the mix and match enchiladas dinner, and it was definitely large enough for two meals. Most Mexican restaurants on the east coast use white cheese, but this one used yellow. The white seems milder and creamier to me, but who knows. Also, I definitely recommend adding a vegetarian section with options! Thanks. read more

Los Cucos has managed to be open and give their patrons great service in a COVID-19 safe manner. On my most recent visit we actually started the evening at another location but there was a huge line. It wasn't the line that bothered me, it was the incompetence of the restaurant that made me leave. On arrival at Los Cucos we found that they set up a drive through out side the front and also made limited tables available inside as long as the guest wore a mask when not at a table. We went inside. The service was better than in the past. With fewer patrons it felt we were getting more personal service. The food and margaritas were as always. Los Cucos is a good family style texmex restaurant. We left full and happy read more

Los Cucos Mexican Cafe - Katy - Margarita time! Texas bars may be closed but not the restaurants (yet) - Mexican Near Me - Katy, Texas

If you want good Tex-Mex in Katy look no further than Los Cucos - Katy, but make sure you are going to the right one. The location in old katy (this one) is the best by far. I love their stuffed avocados and their flour chips with queso are unbeatable. Don't miss out on the best Tex-Mex in Katy and possible Houston. To be fully honest the restaurant is not the nicest but you wont notice with how good your food is. read more

Los Cucos is a solid go-to Tex-Mex around Houston. This may be the original? There are locations in nearly every part of town that I frequent, Spring/Humble, 290 l, Clay Rd and Katy. They are all excellent. The menu is has lots of choices, the food is consistently good and I always have to get a box for leftovers. I generally get some type of fish and have never been disappointed. My son loves the beef fajitas. The wife and friends we meet up with all the time have never complained and usually get a couple of margaritas. It's not a top of the line place like Pappasito's but it doesn't have the price tag like it, either. The service is good, they see us pretty much every week. Give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

We came here after my friends graduation ceremony yesterday. Server was really nice and the only reason I am not giving you 1 star. We had a parrillada jalisco, some margaritas and sopapillas. Something was wrong with the food because I only ate one taco and felt bloated. Today woke up and threw up. Not sure what caused the stomach ache but I know that this the only thing I ate yesterday because my stomach was upset. Also, the sopapillas were cold and chewy. read more

The food sucked i got a chimichanga and almost puked and onother one of my friends got chili enchiladas and it tasted like it came out of a can we could only take one bite and asked the manager for a refund and the color of it was almost black They also charged them 20$ just for sour cream, guacamole, and their drink Idk about the other food but would not recommend stay safe yall read more

Hello Yelpers, thanks for checking my reviews. This a 3 star restaurant in my eyes right off the bat. They are allowing people without masks and are not offering anyone any masks. Secondly the waiter is very rude and passed me up several times once I sat down. Rude by being really quick with his answers about the menu items. Once I set down no chips where brought to my table. Disappointed. Ii had to ask for them. Uuug. The booth i set at was missing the clear divider so I was not officially 6' away from the person behind me. I ordered off the create your own meal. Taco and Tostado. If you want just tacos they do not substitute. Order from the dinner menu. Its only 8.99. The beans seamed burnt but a little tasty. The Taco and tostado was really good and there was plenty to eat. The food came out pretty quick. Los Cucos wasn't that full-on people either. Overall descent experience, but not a 5 star from this ole Yelped. Los Cucos, work on the refried beans, minor repair to your booths, timely manner of when the chips are delivered, and the waiters attitude. I'm out y'all, have a great day. read more

My brother, who has since passed away, loved this place. I got a hair cut next door so I decided to stop in for lunch. I had cheese enchiladas, rice and beans plus a small side of guacamole. Prices were a bit high but what isn't these days. The food was mediocre at best but I decided on 3 stars because the portions were nice. The service was terrible, this is a large restaurant and there was on 7 tables occupied, I counted 8 front of the house employees but they were all grouped together talking and ignoring the customers. I won't come back, even though I live in Cinco, but in memory of my brother I am still glad I tried it. read more

Fabulous, every time. Food, service, everything every time. Drinks, chips, salsa always full. Food amazing and priced right. Cannot say enough about this location. read more

I will not be going back to this establishment. The food in my opinion wasn't great. The birria tacos were dry and the chicken is from a can and tastes like it. I will say I didn't mind the chips and salsa which tasted good. My biggest complaint is the service. Our waitress had an attitude and hardly checked in on us. When we complained about our chicken she seemed bothered and didn't offer a solution. She said she had to go ask on what to do. She came back and said they can fix it, again she never smiled at us or said sorry and I know she didn't cook it but she didn't care at all. A manager came over and asked us what happened and my mom told him about the chicken and his response was: did you not read the menu? Like what? Yes sir we did but it's disgusting so how can we read that on the menu? Overall, the service was terrible and the food isn't worth the attitude. read more

It was my first time in Katy and let me tell u this is the first restaurant I went to an it blew me out the water great food and vibe of the place highly recommended read more

I've been coming here for 15 years and hope this place never closes down, because it is simply amazing. They've never altered their salsa recipe and it is just so good! Before eating they serve you with unlimited chips and salsa! The chips are in house made and are always fresh and crispy. They have green salsa and red salsa. I love the green salsa, it is of avocado flavor I think! It is truly spectacular and I continue to eat it even after my main meal. I usually get one of the fajita platters as they are of good size, let you try a variety of meats, and you can build your fajita taco! They meats are super fresh and their sauce that they put on it with caramelized vegetables is just simply amazing. I hope you guys never close down and keep doing what you're doing! read more

Fun Mexican food always good service with fresh chips and tortillas. Margaritas are always on point.

This is my go to Mexican food place in Katy. I have been coming here for years and always forget to check in because I am just chowing down soon as the chips and homemade salsa arrives. Good margarita specials and consistently good food and service. Try the Sambrosa. I may have spelled that wrong but it has a fajita taco. Large lump of delicious and tender pork, tortillas and a 3 cheese enchilada that is soooo good. It comes with rice and beans as well. So bring your appetite or get a doggie bag. For some reason this locations food is much better than the other to me. So if you tried the other one and did not like it don't write this one off. read more

Friends loved this place when they lived here & I thought maybe this location would magically, mysteriously be better than any of the other locations. I was wrong. Bland, overly salted, straight-from-food-service-cans food with weak drinks & low scores for: - lack of cleanliness - noise control (Lordy so LOUD) - speed of food (3 people were almost done with their tacos before the rest of us even got our food). Everyone that ate felt really sick within 6 hours. I was glad I stuck with chips & a margarita. read more

**update This went from being my favorite to possibly not returning to this location. I walked in 10 min before closing. Ordering the same meal as I did just yesterday! EXACT. El Ray. Ground beef, with con queso topping enchiladas. Instead I got gravy with cheese. I wanted queso with my chips, and the kitchen didn't have anymore queso, I was told by a waitress and management (who took my order), but I asked what about the queso with my meal? Management said that queso they do have for my meal, and I could get extra as per my request. Meal came out no queso. Then he said he never heard me request for it. And that the shredded cheese was the queso (I understand queso is cheese is eapanol). But gosh. Plus the waitress who rolled her eyes, and yelling that they closed, but went to the back and brought me out queso they DID NOT HAVE. Honey you could have ate that yourself. I sure in the hell did NOT TRUST that. I was willing to pay for my taco, which was the Only thing eaten by me. Management and I spoke of it, and he took care of the entire ticket. That's good management and customer service, for correcting the mistake, I just would rather it be offered, than requested especially knowingly that is was an error in the service. **end update April 21, 2018** This is probably my FAVORITE Mexican restaurant in town. ((I was inform that this location is the original, and warned not to expect the same perfection I've received here at other locations.)) Visit here, with my bestie, while she was getting work done on her brand new truck, from "TRUCK N STUFF" (company next door from Randle who gave referral). Or food taste SOLELY AMAZING! The portion size was GRAND, and the price was RIGHT! I order something that's not listed on the menu, which gave me, a taco, enchilada, and tamale, with the best rice and beans you could think of. The tomatoes was FRESHLY cut, and the salad. Everything here was FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! I don't even eat tomatoes, but I ate these. My dish was I think $12 or $13. (Bestie paid not certain). The small margarita, it's a LARGE 10 ounce! What I LOVE about it, is that it'd really frozen. Not that watery stuff that I get mostly, or will quickly change into it. This drink stays frozen. (Plus I order after my meal is served. I only drink alcohol while I eat). Strawberry margarita is served with sugar on glass. I didn't even have to ask! (I forgot honestly) Only negative experience, which is not terrible. Is that my tamale, was served cold in center. And the fix that issue. I like that the gent, had a plate for the issued item, verses removing my entire plate. Excellente customer service! read more
