    Chimichanga
    Sharrun N.

    I went with a group. We had a reservation but had to wait a bit. But they quickly served us drinks, chips and salsa, so all was good. It was a Tuesday, so we had live music from a mariachi band. It was a bit too loud at times but also very good. I got a ground beef chimichanga with refried beans and rice and it was outstanding! I could only eat half. But that was also because I wanted a little dessert. I shared an order of churros (5) which came with fudge sauce and ice cream. Delicious!!! It was an overall good night.

    Shrimp Taco (no beans)

    We ended up at Los Cucos twice this week! There are so many tasty-looking dishes there that I simply haven't been able to try all the ones that look good. This week I tried the pollo poblano and the shrimp tacos, both excellent. We noticed some of the decorations seem to have changed lately, and it doesn't feel as festive inside as it used to. The service is attentive. We came with a large party of 70 people last night, so obviously some things fell through the cracks--that's to be expected. The server took my husband's order incorrectly and brought him a similar but more expensive dish. My husband brought the mistake to the staff's attention but still accepted the food in order not to cause a hassle. It would have been nice if he had been charged for the less expensive food that he actually ordered rather than the more expensive dish he did not ask for. However, he was charged the more expensive amount, which definitely left us feeling a bit soured on the experience.

    I was there when I was visiting my best friend and his family in Utah and this place is good! The tableside guacamole and the Mexican bowl with chicken is really good. Our server was amazing and funny to where she gave us great recommendations throughout the menu! The place is also clean, very lively but you can still have a night to remember or a casual get together with friends over chips and drinks!

    Sour Cream Enchiladas
    Janae I.

    We had lunch at Los Cucos as a team, and I think it was my first time eating here even though I've lived close by for 9 years. I would lean toward 3.5 stars, but it was a good enough experience I feel OK bumping up to 4. We were seated right away at a table. There were lots of TVs with sports on, which was nice for the sports enthusiast on our team. It was clean and not too loud. I was really impressed with the Jetsons cart that delivered food to a few specific tables. I had never seen one before; it was very cool. The chips and salsa were good and came out quickly. There were two kinds of salsa, and both were fairly mild. I'm a wuss with spice, so let that reassure you if you're the same. The menu was actually really big, so if you're an indecisive person maybe check it out ahead of time. I also felt like my lunch was not going to be cheaper than $14 as most of the entrees are pretty pricy, and some of the meals were just way too much food. So if you're looking to minimize spend, this may not be the spot. I ordered the sour cream enchiladas. They were good--nothing special. There was a lot more sour cream than I was expecting. Our server was attentive and did a good job for us. Overall, no complaints other than the price point, really. It wasn't a standout spot for me in terms of Mexican food, but if you need a decent spot, give it a go.

    Mexican Taquitos
    vita f.

    Well sometimes you just have to try a place no matter how the bad reviews. Well the decor was nice and we got sat quickly but we chose to eat in the bar! We did wait for a long time for someone to bring us drinks. The food looked ok and some items on the menu were not even Hispanic lol but chose to share some nachos and taquitos. Now I have been to non Hispanic places and their nachos were pilled high and were bomb this place YIKES I got maybe 8 chips with meat on them and lettuce and tomato and sour cream In the middle I am not sure how these nachos were meant to be like this but disappointed. The chicken taquitos were ok... I have had better, their chips and salsa were good the guac sauce good too. Other than that yea be careful when going here I don't think I'll be going back. Our waiter was pretty busy so there were times we had to wait if we needed something.

    Stuffed Avocado
    Layne D.

    We gave Los Cucos a couple of tries but unfortunately I feel it just misses the mark, especially for the price point. On a positive note, the restaurant has a ton of seating and the guys at the front were friendly. Chips and salsa are good. Queso is decent. Beyond that, every dish my partner and I have tried has been pretty mediocre and a bit expensive for what you end up getting. I've had worse, but nothing about the food would make me come back. On our visits we tried a chicken stuffed avocado, enchiladas, tacos, a Mexican bowl, and none were very good. On top of that, service has been off. Not bad, but a weird vibe from the servers that I can't figure out. Overall it does not make for a very enjoyable dining experience. Maybe we hit them on a few off days, but I don't think I would return.

    Parrilla a las Brazas
    Jeff C.

    I returned to this place after a decade after a bad experience. A lot can change during this time and the wife was hungry, so we decided to give it another chance. It won't take me another ten years to return, especially with a mariachi band on Tuesdays. First off, delightful service by Grace. She gracefully tolerated our Spanish practice and was wonderfully adept at her job, even upselling the flan to me, lol. The parilla... Lord have mercy. The menu claims it's for two people but honestly it could feed four. For fifty bucks this dish was delivered looking like an altar of fajitas, about 8 inches tall and choked with a juicy and generous combination of jalapeño sausage, chicken and beef. Toss in homemade tortillas and a plate of rice, beans, pico de gallo, and more, and you have a steaming hot party on the table. Damn good. I'm bringing friends next time. Tip: There is a coupon for a small appetizer when you check in here. We got the nachos ($10) by using it and enjoyed them quite a bit.

    Chile Rellano

    First off, let me just say that Los Cucos is clearly where dreams go to become fried, stuffed, and served with a side of rice and beans. I ordered the fried stuffed avocado with chicken, and let me tell you, it was an experience. When the plate arrived, I swear I heard a mariachi band start playing in my head. The avocado was golden, crispy, and shaped like the kind of treasure Indiana Jones would risk his life to steal. Cutting into it was like opening a portal to another dimension--a dimension where avocados and chicken join forces to make your taste buds do the Macarena. The chicken was so tender and flavorful, it felt like it had been marinated by a grandmother who takes secrets to the grave. And the avocado? Oh, the avocado. It was creamy, buttery perfection, wrapped in a crunchy shell so divine it probably has its own fan club. Butter my honey! But here's the kicker: eating it was like playing Jenga with my arteries. Each bite was a delicious gamble, and by the end, I wasn't sure if I was full or just experiencing nirvana. The service? Impeccable. The waitress was sweet. The atmosphere? Delightfully vibrant. My regret? That I only ordered one. My doctor's regret? That I even ordered one at all. If you're ever in Sandy, Utah, and you don't stop by Los Cucos for the fried stuffed avocado, what are you even doing with your life?

Today, we arrived and noticed the menu had changed. We ordered our usual Legendary Omelets--something we've ordered for years. Each omelet was priced at $16 with cheese and bacon, and we included several vegetables on each. When our bill arrived, we were shocked. One omelet was $25 and the other was $22. We asked our waitress how a $17 omelet had increased so much and were told that Legends is now charging $1 for each and every vegetable added to an omelet. While it was listed on the menu, we didn't realize each vegetable would be an additional charge. It should have been communicated that EVERY additional vegetable will be $1! Our total came to $51 before tip--for two omelets. We expected it to be around $35. We understand that restaurants have had to raise prices, and we don't mind paying more for quality food. What is disappointing is the feeling of being nickel-and-dimed over basic vegetable toppings that have always been part of how we've enjoyed our omelets. The vegetables added to an omelet are so minimal, I don't understand the change. Sadly, this pricing change means we'll no longer be returning. It's disappointing to lose one of our favorite breakfast spots over a pricing policy that just doesn't feel like a good value anymore.

My family stayed down the street at the HGI in Sandy for 5 nights for my son's soccer tournament and we visited Slackwater 3 times. Pro tip: join the waitlist on Yelp! Even during the week, the wait was 30+ mins each time. Food was great. We tried a lot of different pizzas - we got the Chicken Bro-Do, Hot Honey DP, Tikka Masala, Taco Camarones and Margherita. The airy artisan crust is the same on all pizzas and is delicious. I would recommend them all outside of the Camarones which felt a bit underwhelming as there was very little shrimp and flavor was flat. The Citrus Morita dry rub wings are incredible. We ordered these every night. The Morita chile sauce I would throw on everything. Super fresh and flavorful. It had the right amount of heat . The breadsticks are really good. Same bread that they use for the pizza and stuffed with a ton of cheese. Marinara sauce that comes with it is top notch. The Diablo sticks are spicy just to be spicy. The sauce isn't good. We switched to regular marinara. Would recommend staying away from these. Service is great. Everyone is very attentive. The staff definitely give off a chill energy but are focused, alert and friendly. This place is a must if you're in the area. Hope we can make it back someday.

My one complaint is that we made our reservation for 6:15, but at 5:55, I received a text that my table was ready and would only be held for 10 minutes. That means our table would be given away if we didn't arrive 10 minutes BEFORE our reservation time. The pizza is fantastic. Which I kept saying to my party through bites of pizza. It is the crust that makes this pizza. It is a little sweet but not in a dessert way. It has the perfect chewy bite. I was impressed. I never eat pizza crust, not ever, but it was good enough that my dogs didn't get their usual crust treat. We tried 4 different pizzas and I would recommend any of them.

The restaurant is beautiful with fancy light up menus which is needed because it's pretty dark inside. I ordered the beef ribs and my husband ordered the picanha. Both came out extremely tough and chewy. My daughter had to spit out her bite because she got tired of chewing so we had to cut each piece into 1/2 cm pieces for it to be palatable. I've been to Brazilian steak houses before and beef ribs are usually the most tender and flavorful especially when there is bone. The server did say it was going to on the chewy side but I didn't think he was serious. Like why would you make meat intentionally chewy? For a $50 dish that came with no sides and worse than what we've made at home it's pretty disappointing. We also ordered a side of the grilled veggies which had some veggies that were so bitter and others that were undercooked and no seasoning. The purple yams were decent and the coquettes but again the pricing for each was exorbitant. Also because they have a somewhat open kitchen style concept the dining room got extremely hot and we were just dying to get out quickly. For two entrees, two sides, one app, a bottle of water and glass of wine a bill of $225 was not worth it. Sadly not a great experience.
