Walking in, the place looked clean and inviting. I was immediately greeted by the hostess. I went to the bar, sat down, and the bartender greeted me immediately. A worker brought out chips and sauce a few minutes later. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verde and they were excellent. The chicken tasted fresh and the green sauce homemade. The service was friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back to try something new. read more

Our experience was extremely disappointing, largely because of the service. From the moment we arrived, the hostess, Brooklyn, seemed irritated. When we politely asked if we could switch tables, she rolled her eyes, walked away without saying anything, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Unfortunately, our server, Filiberto, was no better. Throughout the meal, he repeatedly forgot basic items like our water, tortillas, and napkins--even after we reminded him more than once. For most of the meal, he was nowhere to be found, leaving us waiting for long periods whenever we needed anything. Good food can make up for a lot, but poor service from both the hostess and our waiter completely overshadowed the experience. We left feeling unwelcome and frustrated. Hopefully management addresses these issues, because no customer should be treated this way. Honestly, the hostess Brooklyn was the biggest disappointment. She walked everyone to their tables with a glare the entire evening and just looked miserable. She shouldn't be a hostess! read more

Delicious food.. I remember it being a wide and varied menu.. always energy in the room. I visit the restaurant several times a year for the last 20 years. read more

I visited this location on Cinco De Mayo this year. They had live music, balloon making, and drink specials this day. The restaurant was large and had ample amount of parking. We walked in without a reservation and were sat immediately. As the night went on, the restaurant became very busy. Upon being seated our waitress came promptly and took drink orders. She was friendly and informative. I ordered a margarita and the quesadillas. The drink was very good and strong. The meat on the quesadillas were seasoned well, but the outside of the quesadillas were a little greasy. My friends each had a margarita and various dishes, but they enjoyed their dishes as well. The price of the food was reasonable along with the portion sizes. I would recommend this location to anyone who is looking for tasty Mexican food. read more

The Kingwood Los Cucos hosted the celebration of life for my partner! It was a fantastic place for such an event. Managers Eduar and Arterrio helped with the reservation. Alex was the manager on duty and he totally helped us with setting up the tables, providing screen & projector for the slide show and microphones for the service. Our servers were Lupita and Ana and they did a great job!! There were 75 of us to take care of! The food was great!! I recommend this restaurant for a celebration of life or special birthday. read more

So apparently Los Cucos has gone to forcing tipping at 18%. They do not let you know this beforehand. I guess they hope you don't notice & do what I did. I only noticed what the total was which was $155 (after their deemed 18% gratuity) & by using that number I tipped our waitress $30. The food is good, but not good enough to have a specific gratuity forced upon the customer. There's countless other good mexican restaurants out there who don't do this. I did speak with manager Fatema who did not seem to care. Just stating it's their policy & she would tell the general manager what I said. read more

Los Cucos Mexican Cafe - Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

Los Cucos is good a Mexican place very good food with good chips and salsa, the Taquitos/flautas I recommend and probably the cheapest thing on the menu, i also recommend the Mexican bowl which is my favorite item on the menu and is loaded with rice, corn, beans, creama, your choice of meat chicken-beef-pork or can do all three meats for 3-4$ which runs you about 15$ for the bowl it's well worth it. They also have some good birria tacos where you can dip them in birria soup very filling. They also have some good kid menu options like chicken quesadilla, chicken tenders, cheeseburger that compliments with rice and fries. They also have special drinks horchatas and lemonades and breakfast buffet on weekends. See my pictures for food and menu options they have. I have had an experience where I brought some out of town family about 10 of us and we were seated in party/banquet room behind the bar we ordered normally while waiting a large crowd starts coming in little by little we thought oh wow it's getting packed all of sudden and our food came so we started to see decorations being put up by the crowd of people tables were being lined up and we started getting looked at and said wow a party is going on they book the area and they put us there and the whole time we felt this energy of we gotta hurry or something but we didn't but it was uncomfortable feeling because management/hostess messed that up badly once we were getting ready to go I demanded i spoke to a manager and I did I told them they were wrong explained further and I was given a 40$ gift card it didn't cover the uncomfortable feeling and the sense to rush out of there but this was the only big issue I have ever had eating at this place, we also had some slow service moments throughout my the years of eating here but that's ok otherwise never had an issue. This place is right next to Texas Roadhouse right off the Northpark exit going north of hwy59 (69). read more

If you order the Caldo de Res make sure you get beef instead of fat. Ours was nothing but fat, showed it to the waiter and then a manager offered a free dessert. Better option would have been to comp that meal. Other food that we ordered was very good. Service was average. I really love Los Cucos but I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

Traveled up to Kingwood to celebrate a friend's birthday at Los Cucos for lunch. The service was great, they did a good job of being attentive and timely with the food. I love the chips and salsa that you always get at a Tex Mex restaurant, and this of course did not disappoint. You got 2 types of salsa with it, both tasting very fresh. We also ordered a queso appetizer that came with some thick fried tortilla chips. I really enjoyed those chips because it had a great thickness to carry the queso. Since we were there for lunch, I opted for a lunch special and built my own lunch order. I got the chicken quesadilla, which came with 3 pieces of cheesy and decadent slices along with the beef soft taco. Let me tell you, that beef soft taco was huge! The meal also came with rice and beans and this lasted me 3 meals. I'm a sucker for a great value, and this did not disappoint. My friends all ordered different things, and overall the portions were giant and enough to make you full and then some! One of the pretty epic dishes I saw was the lunch combo #1 which gave you a little bit of everything, but again, more than enough to make 2 meals out of it. Overall, great place for a Tex Mex lunch! read more

Los Cucos was the most iconic place in this city and I feel like this location is going down really bad past 4 months the service was terrible salsa tasted straight like the back of the freezer with mold on it Food Quality was down so bad that the only good part about my last visit was the tortillas Also I found hair in my salsa twice in one night Please change your management style to last year (best food I had in 2023) Hate to see a Houston iconic restaurants going away read more

Dined on a Wednesday. Evening. We were seated in the far right room. A party was breaking up. Another group dined. We had the room to ourselves probably a couple hours or an hour. Food delicious. Service excellent. No complaints. My husband and I dined this afternoon. Took advantage of the happy hour menu. Ordered 3 different plates. Quesadillas, street tacos and stuffed Jalapeños. Food came out timely. Other diners. 3, 4 parties. Pleasant atmosphere. We felt appreciated. Treated respectfully. Great service. Excellent customer. Food delicious. Appealing. We ate almost everything. We did request a small box. Food fresh. Husband happy. That's big! Highly recommend. Price great. Whether happy hour menu or regular menu. Los Cucos delivered a great meal read more

Best queso in Houston area!!! Never misses! And I love the tortilla chips they give with it!

Was in for drinks with some friends tonight and the waiter who was serving us decided it would be a great idea to (completely unprompted) tell everyone at table a disgusting joke about domestic violence. Not sure why he thought that this was an appropriate time or that we were an appropriate audience to tell this joke to - not that there is ever an appropriate time to joke about beating up your wife. Drinks were fine, could have been brought out sooner but alas our waiter was probably trying out his tasteless stand up routine to some unfortunate other patrons. read more

It was a pleasant visit. Food: It was quick. 4/5 Service: It was good. 4/5 Ambience: 5/5 Very calm and good music read more

Ok so this is my second time here. The first time was years ago and I told my wife I would meet her here but while waiting i smelled a very nasty odor . I slugged down my drink and left, never going back. This time was way different. We met friends here and had drinks and dinner and everything was absolutely the best. I had the green chile chicken enchiladas with sour cream and they were great. My wife said what she ordered was very good too. Our friends were very pleased with the meals they chose so now I'm revising my feedback on Los Cucos. I'll definitely be back. read more

i wanted to not like this place. I went in as TUK happened to be closed on the day i visited. Took a seat at the bar and was greeted with two of the most delightful and delicious salsas I've ever had. Ordered the fish filet (grilled tilapia) with rice and veggies and again I was delighted to have a damn good well seasoned fish and Normandy vegetable mix. I also took a flyer on the "grand margarita" it was average, good but not something id order several of in an evening for myself. If I'm in the area and TUK again is closed, I'll not hesitate to drop in. read more

Absolutely Magnificent!! Impeccable Service. Great food, great drinks, atmosphere is very nice.

The combo platter #1 is amazing! Beef Nachos, cheese enchilada with chicken quesadillas. Yum. The staff has always been accommodating and friendly. The margaritas are good. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Beware of ordering to go. My fajitas came with guacamole that was obviously scraped off another person's plate. There were random black beans and pieces of cheese mixed in with it. Not to mention the guacamole was brown. Nasty place. read more

So we just left here for dinner and drinks...its been awhile since we have been but we will be back soon and ask to be seated in Gavins section. We came in and asked for a booth and was quickly seated in his section. He is hands down one the best servers we have had anywhere in a long anywhere. He made food recommendations and brought our drinks out quickly. Cleared the unused dishes away and even chatted enough with us to seem very genuine. I got the mandarin kiss for the 1st time and it was delish! Food and drinks have always been great here but my change to a 5 star is for Gavins service alone. read more

Good tasting food the only thing was that I like my flour tortillas cooked a little more. The service was fast and friendly.

We went to Los Cusco's Kingwood because we thought our first experience wasn't a fluke however it was. We just left after sitting 10 minutes waiting chips & salsa. When we placed the order, I specifically asked "chips & salsa". We drove from Lakeshore to bypass the horrible location off the tollway to drive to Kingwood. I given your restaurant(s) several reviews. Why do we keep going back? It's out insanity of having had ONE experience. read more

Los Cucos? More like Gross Poop-ohs. After dining here, I experienced what I can only describe as debilitating diarrhea. I'm taking full bodied, hands on the wall, praying for it to end, ass blasting. The temperature and velocity was like nothing I've ever experienced. I'm really not sure what caused it. We had the mixed fajitas so it's really a coin toss. My only guess is that our chef got confused and washed their hands in a used toilet before cooking our food. Something had to have happened. Let me elaborate on this bowel activity. MULTIPLE BATHROOM TRIPS. And they were all equally brutal. You would've thought I was working with a power washer if you were in the stall next to me. I don't mean to be graphic here, but it's quite shocking when a simple trip to the restroom turns into the sweaty, athletic event that I endured. I felt like I was a hotel Keurig machine pulling a Dunkin Original Blend. Never again Los Cucos. I was a pretty avid fan before. I even endured the relentless price hikes over the years, but after this, I can't do myself the injustice of giving it another shot. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. read more

I will start this review with the highlight of the night , Filiberto, our waiter. Not only did he take outstanding care of our table of 4 but he went out of his way to make our night .
