Reviews for Cuchara in Houston, TX
I?ve been coming to Cuchara on at least a monthly basis since it reopened after all the COVID closures. Every experience I?ve... had with the staff has been pleasant. They make you feel like family. My top three go-to dishes are the chilaquiles rojos,pozole rojo, and encacahuatadas. When I?m feeling really hungry and hungover, I?ll go for the pambazo. These dishes neverdisappoint. I love the spice level and the flavoring. Don?t forget to add a drink to your order. The micheladas, margaritas,aguas frescas, and other cocktails are delicious. Keep doing a great job representing authentic Mexican cuisine. I am lookingforward to the opening of Cucharita! Read more
Fun atmosphere and good service. Definitely recommend. Everything we ordered was flavorful and delicious! Super nice to have... some authentic Mexican cuisine rather than the standard tex-mex. Read more
Authentic Mexican food was good. However, I would have liked complimentary chips and salsa. The menu was limited the day I... went. The carafe of water and mini Mason jars were cute but I would have preferred filtered water. You can absolutely tell itwas water straight from the tap. I left still feeling kinda hungry for a $24 plate. This pictured plate was $18. Read more
11/10 restaurant. The best REAL Mexican food in houston for the price, aside from Arnaldo Richard?s Picos. Only downside is menu... prices. Even if you just go for dessert, get the 5 Leches cake ? this alone is worth going. It?s the best I?ve tasted. Read more
Cuisine that totally immerses you into the roots of true traditional Mexican food! Some things on the menu taste like street... food in Mexico City while others are unique Aztec inspired Mexican fusion at its best! MidTown's secret gem located on Fairview Read more
Celebrating Viernes Chiquito (little Friday)?can?t wait for the weekend to come around! Absolutely yummy and excellent service!... We had Esquites, Tamal de cazuela, Las tres damas that was served with tangy green salsa, corn salsa, and red salsa. The drinkswere strong and on-point, and the Elote Flan was really good. The real-deal Mexican flavors and attention to detail permeatedthrough every dish. It was truly a delicious experience that we would recommend! Read more
Always a solid choice. Doesn?t matter what time of day they have something for you. I recently went on the last Thursday of the... month where I learned they only serve the brunch menu at dinner for those individuals that cannot make it for a weekend brunchcan still experience it. The food is fantastic, the salsa is always great, and on my most recent visit our waiter, Alejandro,was amazing. Very personable and great recommendations. On weekends they have a market out front and the bar makes greatdrinks! They also have a b-cycle station right outside so you can hop on a bike to explore the surrounding area right after. Read more
Great spot! I usually come for brunch but I am glad to have sampled their dinner menu this time around. The cuisine here reminds... me of my last trip to Mexico City plus a dash of culinary creativity. Service: We arrived just as they opened, so it was notbusy. Service was excellent. Ourbserver was kind, knowledgeable, and intrigued us into trying menu items. Food: Top notch.Prior to arriving, we knew we were looking for a place that served huitlacoche (corn smut, aka fungus). To our delight we hadtwo options and tried both. Tamal de cazuela and huitacoche quesadillas. We also had sopa de tortilla, salsas de cuchara, moleVerde, and ensalada de pedalos de Rosa. We also tried their amazing margaritas. Food was fresh and vibrant with flavor. What atreat! Atmosphere: Usually this place is very busy and loud for weekend brunch. This trip it was maybe 25% full by the time wefinished in a weekday dinner service. Casual atmosphere, nice decor. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the lovely weather. Theydo have heaters outside as well. I will definitely come again to further sample the menu. Read more
