Bussin food, would of gave a fifth star but my tacos were a little over crispy. Salsa was fire and literally made the tacos feel like a certified 5.
Back in El Paso in 5 years nothing compares to the food in this city Don cuco has some pretty good food
The tacos & quesadillas were amazing!! What a great quick and delicious stop. Next time I'm in El Paso I'll definitely come back. ¡¡¡Qué Rico!!!
The food is good but salty for my taste, we did not go in, we went through the drive through. Good place if you don't mind salty food
Just the best tacos. I regularly travel to El Paso, and every visit must include a stop at Don Cuco -- never disappointed!
Let's celebrate Yelp's #thankfuIthursday on 11-18! Write a review about your favorite local business on Yelp. I'm truly thankful and grateful for several yummy taco joints around El Paso and...Tacos Don Cuco is one of them! They serve up some of the best mini tacos and menudo. I can't forget to order a papa don cuco with lots of cheese and asada (steak). Skip the onions for me, please! Their flavorful menudo is served daily rather than just on weekends. I tried Tacos Don Cuco a few years back for the first time. I went to their Alameda location. A co-worker from a previous job brought me here. I believe this was the first Tacos Don Cuco to open in El Paso in the 80s. I immediately became hooked! My go to order is always an order of steak tacos with a papa don cuco. Their limonada (lemonade) is also pretty tasty. It tastes great and meshes well with the tacos. I love their salsas! My favorites are the red chile de arbol and their green guacamole salsas. I also like to put some lime on my tacos. Prices are reasonable. On average I spend $20-25 for two or three people. If you do a taco tour around El Paso, consider making Tacos Don Cuco one of your stops. Everyone needs to try Tacos Don Cuco at least once in their lives. Like Nike says...Just do it!
Wow we don't have anything comparable this local chain in The Midwest. We were passing through town and needed something to eat after a long day on the road. We struggled at first with home to order for pick up. We eventually figured it out and it was worth the struggle. The tacos come with sauce and all the fixings you need. My favorite was the Al Pastor tacos, such beautiful sweet and savory flavors. The quesadilla was also better than any I've ever had. One negative that did stand out to me was all the plastic and packaging. It did it's job at keeping the food together but seems like there has to be a more eco-friendly option available.
