| - I tried this place yesterday after I got off work.
I had been wanting to come for the longest time since I moved out here last year. What kept me away was the poor experiences I had at other Mexican restaurants. I tried Lindo Michoacan since I heard amazing things but it was a huge disappointment.
Mexican food is near and dear to my heart. Being a girl who grew up in Santa Ana, CA . I'm used to having amazing Mexican food being very accessible to me. So when my co-workers told me we were meeting here I was intrigued and I knew I would be able to try many things.
So the place is really nice on the inside, had the Mexican ambiance I love. We were seated and first things first, we were given the chips and salsa. Something so basic can be a deal breaker if done wrong . I am happy to say that the chips were yummy and the salsas were delicious. We enjoyed the creamy green salsa best. The red salsa was very good too.
We ordered drinks, we all ordered different ones. Here is where I was not impressed, the drinks had that thickness, I can't explain it. The drinks were very syrupy that I couldn't drink it and my peeps had the same issue but were able to down their drink but they were not loving the drinks. I like my alcoholic drinks (especially the pretty drinks) to have more of a freshness and light consistency rather than the thick syrupy kind. I hope this restaurant can work on this. This alcoholic drink issue is what in my opinion is keeping this restaurant from being an amazing restaurant.
I ordered the taquitos( I know I went super basic) but I miss my mom and she always makes these for me , plus I'm a shitty at frying food). My friend, Justine, ordered the tortilla soup with a beef taco/burrito I can't remember. Blanca had the stuffed avocado dish. Our food arrived at a perfect time and the plates were beautiful. Much larger than what you see in the pictures. I loved my food, we all did. It was such a comfort to be honest. Something as simple as their sopa de frijoles was wonderful, such great flavor. My taquitos were good and the fact that they didn't mess them up was a sign that I can come back. Some other Mexican restaurant here in Las Vegas disappoint me because they ruin the basics. I'm happy to say they won me over with the food. The tortilla soup my friend had was tasty and has a wonderful broth, the asada meat they use is tender and has great flavor. The flour tortilla tasted like it was made in house. I'll investigate this. The stuffed avocado dish was really good. Did not think it would have been as good as it was, very different. My advice to them, the food can be a bit hotter and the beans are a bit dry. As my mother would say (ponle más agua a los frijoles) add more water or broth to the beans.
We decided to have the full experience. We ordered dessert. This did not disappoint. It had beautiful tasty warm churros, ice cream topped with coconut and a chocolate cake. We enjoyed this dessert so much and once again much bigger than expected.
The food was very flavorful and comforting to me. They have a great location in a great shopping center near . This place has some of the best/better Mexican food in the city. I still think they can be better. I know they are catering to a different crowd but when Mexican food is executed beautifully I feel that many people will have an opened mind and will try things out of the norm. My gringo husband has come a long way and eats Mexican food with intense flavors and depth. Los Cucos you guys were great, I really enjoyed my experience here.
Can you guys please add like a torta ahogada or huaraches to the menus. Please!
It never hurts to ask so thought I'd ask.
