Loved these burritos! Got the aporreadillo which contained carne seca, Spanish rice, beans, and eggs. This was super flavorful! We also tried the Suiza de pollo burrito. The chicken was flavorful and it was nice it was topped with cheese and tomatoes. Loved the sauce it was drenched in. I ordered this to go. They have a unique variety of burritos!
I love this place!!! My co worker had suggested we try Cucos and I'm so glad we did!!! The food is fresh and full of flavor, salsas are amazing, the staff is always friendly and I'm always greeted with a smile and amazing service! The camarones a Diabla is my favorite burrito and they have breakfast burritos all day!!!! 10/10 I've already had it for lunch twice this week
It's unique to see a shop whose name has the word "burrito". Naturally, when my family and I were craving burritos, this is where we ordered from. One of my cousins is vegan so it was perfect to see that Cuco's had a couple of vegan options. Food ordered: All items came with a side of chips and salsa. The chips were so good and crunchy and you can tell they are made of tortilla since they are thicker (which I love). 1. Chicken Super Burrito (3/5) The chicken in the super burrito was a little plain on its own if you got a bite of just that, as the flavors weren't super melded together. However, all the ingredients tasted really fresh and not salty which I feel a lot of burritos can be. Also loved that all burritos come grilled and in a little parchment sleeve. 2. Steak Super Burrito (4/5) The steak in the super burrito was more flavorful and I felt that the flavors of the ingredients melded better in this. 3. Veggie Quesadilla (4/5) The veggie quesadilla had so much flavor and the filling was savory and yummy. I'd reorder this. Overall, the food was delicious, and the chips were one of my favorites from a restaurant. The flavors tasted more clean and less spiced than other burrito places which I personally don't prefer as much, but for a solid burrito that you won't feel heavy after enjoying, this is for you. I am excited to come back to try out some other speciality items.
Hole in the wall! So happy my bf brought me here after the gym. Employee was friendly and welcoming. We had some questions on a breakfast burrito, as we didn't see them on their walk menu, she handed us a paper menu. That had everything listed, all ingredients too. Opt for the paper menu, if you're first timers like us. We ordered the Californiano breakfast burritos. My bf got his without cheese and sour cream. We chose medium salsa. If you want a kick, get spicy according to my bf. Medium was more added flavor than spice. It looked like a salsa verde. These burritos were bomb! I want to go back already. Every bite had a lil bit of everything. From our pictures, you can how full these burritos were. I couldn't close my hand around it. I ordered their cafe de olla and it is a must and a favorite. Usually, places can't balance out the flavors. You can get more cinnamon or piloncillo but theirs is well-balanced and strong. I could actually taste the coffee in combination with the piloncillo and cinnamon. $14 for burritos and $6 for the cafe.
Love love love. My favorite burritos on the peninsula. Fresh, delicious ingredients and grilled to perfection. Highly recommend.
