We found this beautiful restaurant on Yelp while traveling in Dallas and decided to stop by. You will not be disappointed! From the gorgeous interior/ exterior decor to the gracious service and staff, to the delicious food it was all a great experience. And they make the most delicious Virgin Margarita I've ever had! I can't wait to return. read more

A friend and I visited Maria Cuca's when in from out of town, and we enjoyed our experience. The vibe inside the restaurant is so cute and cozy! Our server was attentive and the food came out quickly. We ordered queso as an appetizer which was good but nothing super special. As for our main meals, I got the chimichanga with beef and my friend got the spinach enchiladas. I do wish that the rice and beans were a little more flavorful, but the entrees themselves were really really good so I enjoyed my meal thoroughly! The portions were generous. read more

The food here was okay. It was a bit bland but not bad. The ambience was great though! They had beautiful decorations and the servers were very attentive and took great care of us. read more

the vibe and the food are amazing. the staff is very attentive. it is a place worth putting in your rotation!

I will say, I was not pleased with this restaurant. First, they were short staff for the amount of customers that were there. I seen a few customers come in and leave quickly. We stayed because we had eaten in the Maria Cuca's in Plano and we really enjoyed the food. Well, second. The food in this restaurant was not the like the one in Plano. The food here was plain, the rice was dry like the flautas and the refried beans was pasty with no taste. Nothing like the one in Plano. Plano's Maria Cuca's is a 5.0, I quess it all depends on the location and ambiance. How could the same restaurant chain have a 5.0 rating and the other below. read more

Great bar, right across from Viridian. I like this place a lot! The dark salsa is the best.

A great September fall weather lunch! Our group of 9 enjoyed a delicious Mexican feast, with appetizers! The food was fast and delicious with a variety of amazing salsa! The staff was attentive, professional and helpful. The restaurant was open, clean, friendly and beautiful windows with natural light coming through. I highly recommend a visit for lunch or dinner. I had their Lunch Special #3. Enjoy! read more

Excellent experience at Maria's! Really enjoyed the appetizer plater. It's a great way to get a little of everything to try. Unfortunately they was enough to fill my stomach and I didn't get the chance to dive in further. Maybe next time! The service was great and the restaurant was comfortable and clean. I will definitely return. read more

Service was fine, Chips and salsa were great, the restaurant was beautiful and i was expecting something great but dear god the nachos I had were disgusting. They were chewy and tasted like they shoved fiesta blend cheese all over it and shoved it in the microwave, the beef was seasoned awfully as well and they put jalapeños on it even though I said no jalapeños plus they gave us like 10 nachos for 15$, what a rip off. (PS they sold great queso I don't know why they didn't just put that on it) Overall it was okay, Dinner was nasty though and i went to get pizza instead read more

Maria Cuca's - Large Beef Nachos. - Mexican Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I recently made a quick trip to Maria Cuca's and was instantly in love with the decor and ambiance of the bar area, the restaurant was nice as well. I was greeted by Alberto, an absolute gem, who made an amazing skinny margarita and the roasted jalapeño margarita. I recommend both! I had the carnitas plate for dinner and as a Southern California resident I wasn't expecting too much. I will say, this was probably one of the best plates of carnitas I have ever had. And that's a bold statement. I definitely recommend this restaurant, you can tell they care about delivering a great experience. Sorry I couldn't share pics of my food, I devoured every last bite!!! read more

We took our Houston fam to this spot 2x so I HAD to review! 1st, it's 2 seconds from us. 2nd, the customer service was wonderful especially the manager, Jesus. Our waitress during our first visit was new and struggled, but he came in and saved the day and our waitress the 2nd time was sweet, but of course none of this compares to the food!⁣ ⁣ FOOD:⁣ * Chile con Queso with Brisket (ordered 2x) - 10/10⁣ * Guacamole de Mesa (ordered 2x) - 10/10 esp the Cucumbers⁣ * Camarones Vallarta - 10/10: My sumptuous coastal feast interwoven with the the tropical sweetness of pineapples and fire allure of Vallarta's flavors with vibrant spices!⁣ * Carne Asada Platter - 9/10⁣ * 2 Enchilda Platters: Spicy Chipotle Chicken, Verde Chicken, Chicken Mole, Beef Enchilda - 9/10⁣ * Fajita Salad w/Shrimp - 7/10⁣ * Tilipa Lardeo - 10/10⁣ * Tacos de Mexico - 10/10⁣ * Shrimp Tacos - 7/10⁣ * Chicken Tacos - 8/10⁣ * Chicken Quesadilla - 9/10⁣ * Kid's Chicken Quesadilla - I'll have to ask the child⁣ * Hamburger and Fries - I'll have to ask the other child⁣ * Homemade Flan - 9/10⁣ * Churros! - 15/10 and you should definitely share!!⁣ DRINKS * Cuca's Premium Marg or Spicy Marg ⁣ Keep in mind not all of these were ordered at one visit LOL and we took food home, because the portions are big - It's all about balance! But it's very rare that I would go back somewhere I've went to especially within a few weeks of each other so that says a lot of the experience. They have their 1st location in Keller. Anywho if you're ever in the neighborhood and planning to check them out, then let us know and we'll join ya because it's lively and we love the atmosphere and food! read more

Good food cannot overcome bad service. It's challenging to know what to say here... The food was quite tasty, and the bill not unreasonable, though a little bit expensive for a regular place. The ambience would have been five stars, but for the heat. Maybe a construction defect KhoMha, but the booth we were in was so hot. The drinks were good though. Not great, little and expensive, but very tasty. If you want more than one drink, save your money, and go to Pappasito's! There you will find excellent service and excellent food. The nachos were cute, that's all I can say about those. Ultimately, if they could fix their service game, we would come back, but since this was our first time, it ain't happenin'. read more

Excellent food and service, authentic Mexican food in North Arlington. Friendly service and on time.

Went for lunch today. I had the #2 lunch special - yum. I really liked the super crispy taco. My Mom loved the #3. It was a lot of food, but we ate every bite!. We decided next time we will share the fajitas or quesadillas. Waiters and staff were very attentive and the place is very well decorated. I have already told my friends that we must go back and try the margaritas. Glad they are here in N. Arlington. read more

I've had excellent enchiladas, good margaritas, and very attentive service here twice now. I highly recommend this little place.

Enrique Rodrigues is the general manager he is very professional. i have been there 2 times and the service was a 5 star i have never been treated this way before i will make this place my best place for food and drinks thank you guys for the hospitality. from: Bill Frazier read more

Well, the short version, Veridian residents are gonna love this place, it's right up their alley. It's really nice inside, beautiful bar, service is good and friendly. For people like me that look at food, drinks, and value, for the most part, you need to read the long version. Went in weekend early evening. Sat at the bar, which as mentioned is super nice. Got waited on fast, looked over the menu and ordered the premium margarita for $13. The menu only offered queso by the bowl for $10, but I asked and got a cup that I believe was $6. The margarita was good, if kinda pricey, but you get some bang for your buck. With prices nowadays, I can't complain about the drink, well, the first one anyway. They bring three salsa's to the bar. Red, verde, and hot. The red was my favorite, the verde didn't have a lot of taste for me. The hot was hot, but also not much taste other than the heat. I would've preferred more of it, but it was little more than heat. The red sauce had some good flavor and I enjoyed it, but no heat. The chips were good. The cheese queso shows up and honestly folks, I thought it was some pretty bland stuff. No real flavor, but it's safe for human consumption. If you're on a salt and mostly taste free diet, you will like it. Cup was more like a shallow, small bowl. I decided to grab another margarita and see if I could get something more off the menu to go a little more fairly with my experience, so I got a half order of chicken fajita nachos for $10. What I got was four (count em', four) tortilla chips with beans, cheese, and chicken. Sour cream and guac on the side. Not much going on here either, I think I even hit a couple with some salt to make them more exciting. (spoiler alert, it really didn't help much) The second margarita tasted way different from the first. I don't know if they overdid it with one of the liquors, but to me it seemed like they added something to it that they didn't to the first one. I didn't really care for the taste (midori? I dunno, something really fruity) but it didn't make it not drinkable. At this point I just finished everything as quickly as possible so I could move on. The cost was about $45 before tip...yikes. If everything would have been to my liking I would go here occasionally to grab a couple drinks. As it is now, I probably won't be back. The food I saw being served had the same, sterile looking characteristics that I got. However, I think this place will be a big hit for people around here. Everyone is still dying to get more nice places, which I can understand. But this place doesn't have what I look for. read more

For starters the salsa and chips are the best I've ever had , chips are not greasy and the 3 types of salsas they bring out are fresh and amazingly tasty ! Our food was also super good .

Food was terrible besides the chips and salsa. Ladero nachos were super greasy!. Service was subpar and bad. I don't think that old man felt like serving us...the only black people there by the way. Would not come back ever again read more

I've been meaning to try this place for sometime since it's very close to my house and I'm glad I did. The decor is very nice. I would say more upscale than a typical Mexican restaurant. The menu has very inviting drink options in the server was eager to explain the options to us. The quality of the food was top-notch, definitely above my expectations. The service was a little slow, but I think they were understaffed will definitely go back and would recommend. read more

We made reservations for Valentine's dinner a few days before. The owners were very accommodating to our small party of four. There are 2 locations in our area. We selected the newest at 3970 N Collins, Arlington. We had previously dined at their other location for lunch. The commercial center of their location is clean and safe with new shops. When we arrived, we were impressed by the upscale appearance of the facility and the staff. We were quickly made comfortable and the place was not snotty with servers with an upscale attitude. We arrived at 6:00 pm and the restaurant was not filled to capacity, typical of a weeknight and early dining adventure. The meals start with chips and 3 salsa's. I was able to devour all samples. The dark green has a nice smoky flavor and is described as the hottest. We ordered traditional menu items instead of the Valentine's special. Since were were having dessert at another location later that evening . Our entree's were Flautas and Burrito Grande. The portions were very filling. My sponsor bragged that the Flautas were some of the best she has eaten. Now that we have located this restaurant we will return to enjoy their service and flavors. read more

We just enjoyed a meal for the first time at Maria Cuca's Arlington. The food was incredible, the service outstanding, and the ambiance was warm, casual and comfortable. I have to eat gluten free and they accommodated my needs very well. My wife and son topped off dinner with what she described as the "best pecan she has ever had in her life". read more
