    Happy hour Quesadillas and Strawberry Margaritas
    Celia H.

    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.

    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.

    We love the service and the food. Their chips are amazing and do crunchy. It's a pretty authentic Mexican restaurant. The ambiance is family friendly and a good place to enjoy a few drinks too.

    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.

    My go to chain Mexican restaurant. Food is always great and service has always been good. Great chips and salsa. Good frozen margaritas.

    Margarita time!  Texas bars may be closed but not the restaurants (yet)

    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

Our fajita meat today was old, and smelled off. We requested medium but it came beyond gray, and zero char- it was sweaty. This showed up within four minutes. The rice was dried out. The beans were, too. As I said- two thirds of the time is great. Sometimes bad visits happen. Then comes the annoying dance: I do *not* want a manager. I sure didn't need an argument (!) from the server about cooking theory. Not looking for free food. We were very hungry and now have to go find another restaurant. We paid and we left. All done. No desire to keep playing roulette with which experience we can expect, and the server pushback was the kicker. You'll be fine without us.

This spot is much smaller & broken up into rooms/sections. I didnt even look at the menu & I progressed to order my standard Black barrel margarita that I always order at my Sugarland Lupe Tortilla & they informed me they dont have it. They told me if I didnt want a frozen margarita which they had in the machines I needed to order the Margarita's that were on the menu. The bartender was friendly but the overall experience... the vibe & premium drink options were just off putting for me. My conclusion is that I will stick to my Sugarland location because all Lupe Tortillas are not created equal.

The food, the ambience, and the service are all outstanding. We went for Cinco de Mayo and the restaurant was packed however, from what I understand, it is often packed. Let's start with our server who was just wonderful. He not only guided us through the meal and the drinks, but he had very practical recommendations. His service was timely, and his friendliness was wonderful. We have the fajitas which were not only an apple serving, but the beef chicken and shrimp were all very flavorful. Typical to fajitas it came with enough accompaniments to really really make Forray a wonderful meal. The serving is so ample that it became a takeout meal as well. The ambience is typical of Mexican restaurants. However, the people who we were dining with in the same small dining room were incredibly friendly and old-time customers of the Restaurant. I can't tell you how many years. But given the food and service, I understand why. I'm guessing because it was Cinco de Mayo. There was also a mariachi band and they were just wonderful and added to the venue considerably. If you're in or around Katie Texas, you really do need to stop here.

Inside it is spacious and has some colorful and lively decor. Great for groups or solo at the bar. Service: 5/5 The hostess was friendly and immediately directed me to my friend's table. Once seated, the waiter was very attentive and accommodating in checking in on us and getting our orders going. Food: 5/5 We ordered the beef and chicken fajitas to share. The beef fajitas were flavorful just as I'd hoped but the chicken was a bit dry. With the order we each get our own plate of rice and beans and choice of tortillas. The flour tortillas were delicious, almost like home made, so much so that I took the leftovers tortillas home to enjoy with butter. The highlight for me was the Skinny Margarita with my customization of adding a shot of Amaretto. I've been disappointed at other places because they never taste fresh, or have an extremely tart flavor, but the bartender had it down to a science because when I tell you from my first sip it was like heaven! Fresh, not too sweet and I only had one and was tipsy, I wasn't the only one. My two friends got the same one and agreed it was delicious and they too were tipsy. And you get your money's worth. I don't live in this area, but for this margarita, I may have to visit again soon. I'm thirsty thinking about it as I'm writing this and likely still thinking about it while you're reading this. I didn't get as many photos as I usually do, apologies, but I did get the Skinny margarita. Overall it was a good time, with good food and good drinks.

Between Saturday and Sunday, the only meal I had was Neca's nachos. I had to go to urgent care, where I was put on an IV and given medication to treat what was diagnosed as food poisoning. In addition to the above facts, my toddler ate a bit off my plate Saturday/Sunday and exhibited symptoms similar to mine. On Monday, June 30th at 9:04am, I called to share my experience with the staff. To be clear, my intention in calling was not to leave a negative review, but simply to bring the matter to the restaurant's attention - privately. Unfortunately, the owner, Albert, was defensive throughout the call. He said things like, "I don't doubt that happened, but we've never had a complaint," and dismissed my experience rather than showing concern. I explained I wasn't calling to leave a bad review but to make them aware. But alas, here we are. If you're looking for a place with good food and quality customer service, I suggest you look elsewhere. But if you're fine risking your health and dealing with defensive owners, Neca's may be the place for you.
