Don Cuco

My first visit to Don Cuco. The food was good, parking not the greatest and the service could have been better. The food: Chips are a little thicker than I prefer. However, they came out fresh and warm. Didn't splinter when you take a bite. Covered in just enough salt. The salsa served was great as well. The bowl was a tad small compared to comparable restaurants, but all you have to do is ask for more. I ordered the two chicken flautas combo - the flautas are served cut in half, so you will see a total of four. The bread is a thin flakey layer of crispy goodness. I have never had a flauts served like this. It was a 8/10 alone. The beans and rice were standard for the industry, wouldn't be able to tell them from competitors, in my opinion. They tasted great, nonetheless. Ordered a strawberry Margherita blended with sugar on the rim. Served as expected and tasted good. I'm not sure what tequila they used, but it seemed either a tad weak in flavor, or I did not get enough in my drink. The service: We were not immediately greated upon entering at approx. 4:30PM on a Friday. The place wasn't packed either. We sat at a table at the bar. Our waitress was a bit put off by something as we could tell her attitude was the best. Felt like we were inconveniencing her by being there. Throughout the meal, had to reach out a couple times. The bus boy who brought the food, took out dishes, refilled out drink definitely did more. The parking: and you pull in to park in the front, you will quickly learn that the road doesn't go all the way through. Being in an SUV, it was a tight fit. Not sure if that setup was temporary or not. Overall: 3 stars. I enjoyed by main course an the chips and salsa. I enjoyed the ambiance. However, I didn't feel like there was anything that stuck out that would have me coming back.

Wow! The food is so damn good. We got it to go and it cooled down significantly but still... the flavor was on point. It was the best chicken tortilla soup that I, or my dad, have ever had. The cheese enchiladas were great. The decor of the restaurant, chips and salsa, and service while we waited were all great too. Highly recommend! I'm disappointed I live so far away.

The atmosphere provides a feeling like you're in a courtyard of a nice little Mexican town, it's really neat. The crew was very nice, but seemed overwhelmed when we were there and I think that affected their level of service. We had lunch on a Saturday and there were a good amount of customers there, but it also seemed like there was a lot of staff. We had orders mixed up or forgotten, didn't return for drink refills very often, little stuff like that. The food was good, seemed like everyone enjoyed their meals all and all. Good all around, I wouldn't mind eating there again, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to seek it out.

Food was really good, we were sat right away. Food came out very hot the enchilada in mole was great and so was the shredded beef hard taco. Excellent customer service waiter was always checking in on us to make sure we were going ok and to freshen up our drinks.. it was my first time there. i will ne go back when i visit Simi Valley again.

Still our go to for Mexican food in Simi Valley. We come here at least once per week for dinner. Friday and Saturday are still their busiest nights. I have been ordering a lot of shrimp dishes lately. The shrimp fajitas and shrimp burrito a la diabla. They use shrimp that are a nice size and it is a good portion. The chips and salsa are some of the best. The salsa is spicy! Service is still on par. Servers are friendly and helpful. Drinks are kept filled and chips and salsa never run low. We've been coming here for years, and we will continue to, probably every week, lol.
