Cuca's Restaurant

Traveling through Fresno, I decided to stop at the famous little restaurant I'd heard so much about, Cuca's. I stepped in, was immediately greeted- a big plus for me. The decor in this place was tastefully festive- accompanied by Latin music in the background. I loved the ambiance and smiles the waitresses shared with the customers. The waitresses were very sweet and seemed so happy. Later I discovered most of them were related; cousin's, aunts, sisters, uncles, etc. It had that great family feeling. My food was delicious! I had the Combo platter; Taco, Burrito, and a Chile Relleno w/ beans and rice (figured I'd try it all). Thank you Cuca's for the delightful experience, this Ventura local will be returning soon. Pros: Great Friendly Servic, Inexpensive, Family Owned! more

The entrees are good, but what makes this little place stand out is the superb house-made tortillas and salsas. Their red salsa is hot and flavorfull and the fresh pico de gaillo is so tasty there has to be a secret ingredient. The service is genuinely friendly and very efficient. Pros: Fresh and flavorful, fresh-made tortillas, great service more

The new Cuca's is located in the Tower District and offers similar food to the original Cuca's located in Chinatown near Downtown Fresno. Family owned, this place serves great Mexican food very quickly. At the Chinatown restaurant, you eat at the counter or small boothes -- I don't think the place will fit more than 30. When you sit at the counter, you get to watch grandma slicing up goodies for menudo which is a favorite. The Cuca's in the Tower District has much better ambience and decor, but don't miss the real experience Downtown. more
