Los Cucos Mexican Cafe - Fajita Steak and Shrimp A La Poblano - Mexican Near Me - Sandy, Utah

When I went, the food was great. But spice is not a me thing. When I got me food I could smell the spice and after, my cheeks exploded into the toilet halfway through my food and I almost didn't make it back to my seat read more

I've liked this place in the past, but it seems it's gone downhill. Service was pretty slow last time, but they were busy so I wanted to give them another chance. Unfortunately, their service was still slow without being busy. Plus I was given a dirty glass, and there was a bug in my food. It probably flew in between the kitchen and my table. Some of my food had good flavor, but the rice was just a throw away. So a generous two stars overall. read more

This place is a solid 4 stars. Maybe 4.5. Don't let the cheesy decor and branding deter you from dining here. Our server (thanks AJ!!) was quick to take our order, and give us recommendations that HE actually eats. We both collectively eye rolled over how annoying it is to point out the "popular" items. He gave us the insider tips on what to eat here. And he didn't steer us wrong. We shared the carne margarita (a meat wrapped burrito, basically), medium rare. It was spot on. Medium rare steak meat wrapped around wonderfully cooked and flavored shrimp. The flavors were exciting without being overwhelming. We ordered the steak cheese dip as an appetizer, it was stringy and cheesy and gooey. The steak wasn't overdone and the spices well blended. The chicken/cheese stuffed jalapeños were also fantastic. Even on day two! The sauce added a lot of flavor to these. Tons of cheese here, too. No complaints about the abundance of cheese. The only downside here was how smokey the restaurant was. I assume it was from everyone ordering fajitas or something. If you visit on a Friday night, expect a bit of a wait, but not unbearable. We will be back soon! read more

Los Cucos Mexican Cafe - Birthday party success! - Mexican Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Waited 20 minutes for nachos. Asked for no meat, cilantro, or jalapeños. Paid $13 for maybe 10 chips covered in a light layer or refried beans and cheese, and maybe a couple spoonfuls of sour cream, guacamole, and tomatoes on the side... this is not nachos. It's a damn travesty... read more

What a nice surprise! My wife and I stopped there on whim just wanting to try Los Cucos as we had driven it so many times. We were there on a Tuesday about 4 and the restaurant was not very busy. There was two types of salsa and both were very good. The margaritas were very nice too. We ordered steak frittatas and the smothered burrito that were a little spicy but that was okay with us. Both were very good with rice and beans. Service was great but that may have been because they were not busy. We will go back again soon. read more

Loved their food!!! I was blown away right from the beginning when we got complementary chips and Salsa. Their salsa was not bland like other Mexican restaurants. It was full of flavors and spicy. We ordered chicken fajitas and they came with house made tortillas, huge portion of main and side dishes. Everything tastes great. We were there was last week with group of friends. They had multiple games on and decent selection of beers and cocktails. We all had a great time. Definitely will be visiting soon with my entire family !!! read more

Stay away from this restaurant! Poor and unfriendly service. Mediocre food. They offer a Yelp check-in deal, but tell you that you have to print it out to redeem. Yelp is a mobile app!!! Moreover, when you activate the deal, there is a countdown clock, so how am I supposed to print it out??? BTW, I normally don't post on Yelp, so for me to add this comment, it means that I really wanted to share my negative experience. Be warned; otherwise, be disappointed!!! read more

Since I moved from Cali the Mexican restaurants here in Utah have really let me down but this one is pretty crazy authentic. Besides our server not being quite on his game (a little frustrating) the food was fantastic. However the chicken in the quesadilla was a bit tough. And I wish they offered chocolate milk for the littles too. Overall we liked it and will definitely be back. read more

Lack of ownership The waitress offered to sell us an expensive gift card. She literally said she was going to charge the current dinner with the gift card we bought (that's something that she voluntarily offered to get us to buy the gift card). She came with 10 receipts (I ignore why), she didn't follow the instructions she was given, and she had overcharged our Credit Card. She lied on our face about the overcharge, and she never took ownership. We asked for the manager who never showed up to the table, and the saddest thing is that even though I kept telling her that was a mistake she made, she tried to confuse us with her stupid 10 receipts. 10 receipts she kept moving on our table that she wasn't able to articulate or explain what or why she literally had all of those receipts, so so stupid. Her LACK OF OWNERSHIP was so stupid, her face reflected maliciousness. All it takes is to take ownership of the mistake and things would have been better with the customer. read more

Los Cucos Mexican Cafe - This is what they gave me after an extra 40 minute wait. It is literally cheese from a bag slapped on some chewy tortillas. Gross! - Mexican Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Es buena la comida, se pueden ver eventos deportivos, buen servicio, no era lo que esperaba pero estaba bien

Stopped by Los Cucos on a Tuesday night in June for a group date. Quickly got seated. Waitress was great and attentive, but the food...the food, particularly the beef, was not good. I got the Mix Fajitas and my wife got the Los Cucos Salad with beef. The beef looked like thickness of half a sheet cake (cut horizontally) and was some of the worst meat I've had at any restaurant. My wife couldn't eat hers off her salad and I couldn't eat mine from my fajitas. The chicken wasn't awful, and the salsas were decent, but prices are way too steep to have that poor of food quality. It looked like the steak had been smashed by a cleaver to try and soften it, but it was way too chewy, thick and flavorless. I honestly question if it even was beef... I want to like this place and I love Mexican food overall, but skip this joint until they up their food quality. read more

I've been here a handful of times and have consistently felt that the food and service are good but not great. It tends to be heavy on grease. I do really enjoy the two kinds of salsa they bring out with the chips while you order. read more

I think this place is better than your average Mexican restaurant. To be honest, I've only ever had one item there and it's the steak chimichanga. Their steak is VERY VERY good. However, I feel that this restaurant is way too expensive for what it is. read more

Great Mexican restaurant! The food was great and fresh, the chips were warm and the salsa had a lot of flavor! The service was spot on and our server Patty took really good care of us! We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food! read more

Chip and salsa was good. Staff was friendly but the food was horrible. We ordered Fish Cajun and Ground beef burrito, the rice was half cooked and the meat was salty as hell. Won't be coming back. read more

I am so glad we came here. I have this life journey of eating as many mixed fajita plates as humanly possible. Los Cucos is one of my top two. Instead of traditional fajitas, I got fajitas a la Poblana. It was fajitas with a white cilantro cream sauce and mushrooms, peppers, onions, beef and chicken. I enjoyed it a lot. I don't eat tortillas so it felt like more of a casserole complete dinner instead of feeling like I'm just eating fajita fillings. My husband got the more traditional mixed fajita plate. He loved them. He says it was really good and one of the best he's had! I only gave 3 stars functionality and maneuverability of the place. I like the atmosphere and they played good music that you could hear and even feel a little bass, but it wasn't loud at all. It had a really good sound system it was fun to listen to. I didn't like the parking. The entire lot was full. Both sides, and all the way east, towards the other businesses. We had to park north, over by the mattress store in another parking lot, on the other side of a fence. Luckily we could walk around the fence along the State Street and get access to the restaurant. The inside was crowded. I didn't like how you couldn't walk around anyone's chairs. Big people, little people, they're all going to have their chairs tucked in or push way out and it got in the way. We had to move our super wobbly table away from another because our chairs were hitting each other. By the time we scoot over, we were in the way of another table. I had to waltz around the room and around chairs and tip toe over purses to get to the bathroom. It was very smokey in the building. The kitchen didn't have a full wall, up to the ceiling. It was more like a room divider. All the smoke from the kitchen is able to escape into the dining area. You could see the blue smoke in the lobby of the front doors, where the sun was shining through. My skin and hair smelled and felt dirty by the time we left. That being said, their menu is large and everything sounds delicious! We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

My husband write this. Thought you ought to know!! My wife and I went out for dinner tonight at , Los Cucos in Sandy on 10600 and state street, I never give any reviews on restaurants unless I get great service or shifty service, but today I seen something very fishy going on with their cashing out. Their CC system was down and they were sliding the cards on the old system, keeping a copy and giving you your copy , internet was down, not cool they should have told us before we sat down about the system being down thank God Kimmi Martinez had cash on hand to pay for it otherwise I would have stayed to was dishes . read more

Natalie was a great server fast and friendly, food was excellent and prices were great too. Huge portions.

Do not eat here. Service is very poor. Also do not waste your time with any email coupon they send. It's a hoax to get you in to eat. Then when you present the coupon they say mgr just sent out a directive that day that they no longer accept any coupons. We have tried for ten years to give this restaurant a good consideration AND EVERYTIME FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS THEY HAVE LET US DOWN. DONT WATE YOUR MONEY EATINF HERE. No star rating. They are a zero. They are a con read more

If I could do anything less than 1 star I would. The drinks on their yelp profile aren't available. We literally left the food and couldn't eat it. The white sangria tasted like a juice. Super sweet and no alcohol. I'm so disappointed. I think all of the positive reviews on this are fake! read more

Restaurant was clean, the seating service was not very friendly but our waitress was nice.

We split a meal and the food was below average for a Mexican restaurant. I would not recommend for dinner. read more

There's handmade guacamole is amazing! I also like their fajitas that come with grilled jalapeño

Best Mexican restaurant ever! The food is authentic and delicious. Ambiance is traditional. Make reservations as this place is popular.

I got take out from this place while traveling to the area for work. The food was awesome. I will get back to Utah just for the Queso and Chips! My enchilada was delicious, and the beans really had great flavor. I ordered through Yelp, which was convenient. read more

Clean, great food and inviting atmosphere. Good things come to those who wait. After searching through yelp for a Mexican place nearby. We found this place, many legit reviews about the food. We arrived in a Friday night. My husband was a little reserved on trying this place. We walked in and the lobby to outside was packed. We thought this must be a good sign. We squeezed through and the hostess was friendly and attentive considering they were crazy busy. She said it would be a 40 min wait for a party of 5. We waited exactly 40 mins and we were seated. Our waiter was helpful and happy. The food was out of this world!!!! The avocado cream sauce for the chips is a must! The fajitas were amazing. Can't wait to go back and try the fried avocados dish! read more

I want to love this place. But, their service is forgetful and scarce enough that it has given me abandonment issues. Also, there is a tendency to rush when someone does stop by our table. This tragically occurs during each visit. And yet, I can't help myself from driving 25-30 minutes away just to wait an hour or two for that green salsa and those fried avocados stuffed with chicken and then tipping 30% just to get your attention! It's become a desperately sad dance of ours. I want to love you Los Cucos! I want to give you 4-5 stars but you are like Lindsay Lohan in the sense that you have so much promise and yet you, Los Cucos, are not living up to your star potential! Sandy, nay-Utah needs more from you! Please, for the love of all that is salsa, get it together. read more
