Food was hot and delicious! Everything was much fresher in taste. I started with their chori-queso and then ordered 1 chorizo taco and 1 quesabirria taco for my main entree. I washed it all down with a refreshing pineapple agua fresca. Great food, great experience.

First time here at El Cunado Mexican Cuisine. I ordered 2 carne asada tacos and 2 quesabirria tacos. Hands down these tacos are the best in town. I've tried the other tacos and these are better. Dont get me wrong the other ones are good too but these taste better. The staff os friendly and the food was out at a good time.

We went back 2 days in a row. Portions abundant, and definitely worth the price. Service was exemplary, cocktails and drat beer. Maria (our server) was extremely accommodating. She knew the menu well and made great recommendations. El Cunado will be our go-to for mexican like my grandmother made. Especially like the atmosphere, great vibe. The staff all assisted one another, Reina was always checking on tables, removing used dishes, etc. Can't wait to go again. As an aside, to the Karen's, when you see a crowded parking lot, that's a sign that the establishment is BUSY. Don't hassle the servers, leave a good tip, or go eat fast food crap.

Omg, this place is AMAZING. The atmosphere is to die for, absolutely amazing. The staff is 100% on point and very polite. The food was amazing, like thinking about it makes my mouth water. My husband's macho burrito covered his entire plate, and even though he was stuffed, he wanted more. Fajita chimichanga was so yummy and the beans, which I usually ignore. I used chips and ate 100% of them.

I'd like to start with the service. I've been in food service for many years. With that said, my server Jackie, is one of the best servers I've had in a long time. She went above and beyond to insure i was taken care of and satisfied. Good job young lady. If I could give 10 stars for the service I would. The chimichanga ranks in my top five favorites now. The portion was large, and the food was very delicious. And the price very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant. They have definitely earned their High star rating on Google review.

If you want Mexican for lunch or dinner, I would recommend this place from my experience. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Our water glasses didn’t go empty. The food was served quickly and it was very tasty. The chicken was tender and flavored just right. It sat on top of a bed of Mexican rice and covered with delicious queso sauce. It came with 3-4 corn or flour tortillas and made a perfect combination to the plate. The seating was similar to many restaurants with booths and table seating. They were slightly dated but was adequate to get the job done.

This place was packed wall to wall. That's gotta say something about how much people like it here. Of course, being that crowded was a bit irritating, but that's not really their fault. Our waitress was the most attentive waitress I've ever had in my entire life. She was so on top of everything and super quick about it all. The food was great, and there were so many great choices. Good drinks, too.
