"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."
