The menu offers a big variety of dishes that really taste like the way done in mexico. The prices are very reasonable. Indoor seating is a bit too claustrophobic for me so I preferred the tables outside which are next to heaters, so it was a comfortable dinner.

When we got there, they said it was probably a 20 to 25 minute wait but it only ended up being about 10 minutes. It was pretty packed but we were able to get served quickly. It definitely helped that they give free chips and salsa when you sit down to hold you over. I got the chicken tortilla soup and it was definitely good, I wish it had more meat in it for a bowl but it was only nine dollars which isn't bad especially in LA. Overall definitely a solid experience.

Nice Sunday meal here in this LA classic that has been in business since 1969. Love the old-school vibe inside the restaurant. The dining room is long and narrow with classic Mexican decor. Service was super fast and responsive. Started with the house Margarita which was tasty but a touch too sweet. Food was okay, not as good as I hoped. Tortilla soup was very nice. Chips and salsa okay, not great. Best parts of the visit for me was the decor and warm service. Street parking was relatively easy on a Sunday evening.Parking: Relatively easy to find street parking on a Sunday

We go in here all the time for dinner but for the first we had them cater a party. Everyone was so happy with the food. It was truly amazing and the delivery fee was well worth it. We of course will continue to come in for dinner but this will for sure be are go to for parties.

Quite a popular spot in burbank we had to wait 40+ minutes to be seated on a Thursday night round 7pm. I suppose that is the height of the dinner rush. Very festive interiors bathed in red lights with cacti chandeliers. Some one worked hard to get this a kitschy as it is - definitely done on purpose - quite fun. Food is typical commercial Mexican fare. Nothing great but comforting just the same. Prices match and their combinations makes it inexpensive. We had their el pastor taco and enchiladas combination, as well as the carnitas taco and tamale combo. We also tried their churros donut. Their menu is actually quite extensive and there are lots of things I'd like to try next time. They've got a full bar - lots of variation of tequila and good tasting flavored margaritas. Definitely a fun place to go with a group of friends. The one turn off for me is the difficulty in parking. No private lot, no valet. Good luck with street parking. Is it worth the wait and the hassle to park, I'm not sure.

They advertise happy hour but that no longer exists. There is no special pricing for drinks and appetizers. There are a lot of other places near by that have happy hour so me and my friends will be taking our business elsewhere.
The best in all possible ways, service like no other place!

Don Cuco is definitely an "atmosphere restaurant," but that's OK. It'll do pretty nicely for a fun dinner out. The stuffed, crowded, skinny space works really well, as long as you don't mind feeling ever so slightly cramped in a very old school, yet charming, Mexican establishment. While the food is just OK, the service and aforementioned atmosphere elevate it to a place worth going to. I would avoid sitting on the boring sidewalk patio, as it has none of the charm of the interior. The service was far better than one would expect in your typical old fashioned Mexican restaurant, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the carnitas and had a house margarita from the bar. The carnitas were neither the best nor the worst I've had, and I would certainly consider ordering them again. The margarita was pretty solid for a house one, and I'd definitely stop by the slender bar for another if I was in the area. The rest of my party felt pretty similarly about their food, so I think it's safe to say that "pretty decent" is what you'll get here. In short, Don Cuco is a winner. It's not the best Mexican food you'll ever have, but the atmosphere and service will definitely prompt a return visit from me.

A very pleasant and picturesque place, the waiters very attentive and willing to explain each of their dishes to you with pride and joy. There I tried a delicious molcajete and the margaritas, needless to say.Kid-friendliness: The decoration is very nice and cozy.
