From humble beginnings in the gulf city of Merida, Yucatan, Augusto "Cuco" Salazar Sr. departed from Mexico to the United States with nothing more than a suitcase, a passport and $100. For years, he worked two jobs saving every penny with aspirations to open his own business. The opportunity came and in 1969, he had saved enough to buy a small beer lounge. It was a good start, but Cuco yearned...

Loved the food, sat in the bar and watched three different sports. Food was hot and tasty, great prices. Chips and tortillas were fresh, salsa fresh and spicy but not over the top. Great for a group of friends, romantic dinner, or a working lunch. Manager makes sure everything is right, and makes you feel like you're part of the family.
It used to be Mucho Mas but they've gone downhill (food tastes not as good, portions have gotten smaller, and no free refills with $3 sodas) so, now that Don Cuco's has 2 locations in Burbank, especially this one which has far easier parking, this now moves up my list to best Mexican food in Burbank.
I've been going to Don Cuco's for over a decade now and it is still one of my favorite Mexican resta...
great environment great food
Great food, service and atmosphere.
We love going there the staff is super friendly the waiters are very attentive everyone is always checking to make sure everything is great. Plus the food is amazingly delicious the tortillas are super delicious too. I took a video of the girl making the tortillas and sent it to a friend in N Carolina because she didn’t believe when I said the kind of restaurant this is and that the tortillas...
First time customer enjoyed enchilada dinner and margaritas! Great salsa
Best Mexican food in Burbank! Beats the competition hands down.
Love this restaurant and it’s Mexican food is delicious as well as their blended margaritas. Happy hour is the bomb!
Great food.Nice service. Friendly
Fantastic and traditional atmosphere. HUGE and delicious plates. Reasonably priced drinks and excell...
If you like Mexican food, this is one of the best sit down restaurants in Burbank, especially after ...
Now, I've eaten here a few other times, where the food and service were good. Tonight, however, was disappointing. Your Yelp page lists your closing time as 10:00. If there is a different closing...
Molcojete and salsa is amazing. Enjoyed our dinner in the bar area at a booth, super cozy and festive. Parked in the public lot right next to the restaurant for free.
One of my favorite watering holes when I’m in Burbank. They make a great margarita and the bartenders are awesome. Great food try the lobster enchiladas.
There's almost always a wait. (That's how you know a place is good!!) I absolutely love Don Cuco Toluca Lake. When I'm craving Mexican (and that's almost everyday), I come here. The food is...
Had a great meal here! Came in with my husband and my mother. Sat down in the bar area. Got seated right away. Juan Luis was our server and he was excellent! They have a few free appatizers...
I'll start off by saying the ambiance in this restaurant was nice. I ordered the shrimp cocktail assuming it should come in a schooner glass-no it came in a little Martini glass, the actual...
If I could give them zero stars I certainly would. A cautionary tale - don't go to Don Cuco restaurants. Last Saturday I was celebrating a birthday with a dozen people here. Food was mediocre at best, and the restaurant was hot and stuffy. I took off my favorite bracelets and put them on the seat next to me because they were bothering me in the heat. Twenty-three bead bracelets collected from...
Went to dinner with my brother and his wife on an impromptu double date. Lately all 4 of us have been on diets so this was the first time out together where we could wallow in each others misery. I went with the chicken macho burrito which was tasty but far smaller than what I was hoping for. Service was good and prices are fair, next time I just need to get a side of Nachos, Aloha
I was looking for a mexican restaurant in burbank and ran across this place by good reviews, decided to give a shot. Once i walked in , i was impressed by the decor, music, attentive and friendly staff. But... The food wasn't the most authentic or tasty. And i got sick from it, doesn't help that im pregnant. Return again? Probably not.
This place is extremely nice inside and the service is great! But it's sooo freakin dark inside I had to have my phone light on. The food... isn't so great. I got flautas with rice and beans and it was nasty. And my brother got a taco and his tortillas were not even cooked!! And to make matters worse, my brother and I have a stomach ache. Save your money. It's not worth it!
This is the worst garbage food ever. The salsa is rotel out of the can. So totally disgusting. I feel bad for everyone that works here.
Mmm been to don culo few times for happy hr I always drink modelo frozen mug beer is cold cold the way it should be I eat the appetizers that they have there for free it's okay not that all great I have order shrimp cocktail mmm will never have it again I have seen the portions of the plates I think there over prise if any body reads this try El TEPEYAC THE best wet burritos you have ever...
so we come across this place while in the are and let me tell you the inside of this place is amazing. pros: -awsome service -super friedly staff cons: -food is not the greatest
Amazing food and the service was fantastic!!! I definitely recommend this place!!!
Don Cuco has a fun atmosphere and an incredibly friendly staff. The chile verde is very tasty. What sets a chile verde apart is the quality of the meat, and this was very good meat. The only negative was the table salsa. It was average...
I have recently moved into the area and have parents visiting from out of town. I chose Don Cuco Mexican Restaurant on Orange Grove, Burbank to visit for the first time this evening because I was looking for a local restaurant featuring Mexican food, and...
Sunday night visit around 7:00. Waited about 10 minutes. Server brought chips right away and took our drink order, but waited a little too long for him to take our food order. Margarita and salsa really good. Disappointed in tamale as there was very little...
Good size bar area and eating area...Free parking in structure, Good salsa and chips and enjoyed the meal and large selection to choose from
I prefer the original one close to my house on Riverside Drive - this is their new one in Downtown Burbank, much bigger, with better acoustics, great staff, authentic Mexican food and strong drinks!
They can get very busy for dinner - so get here...
This restaurant is very very dark. It's so dark, we needed to use our phone flashlights to see our menus. We had a good laugh about it though. I guess if you are on a date, it's great lighting. For us, we were having a...
I've been back every time I visit Burbank. It's comfortable, good food, a full bar, and a fair price.
We love coming to Don Cuco! There are so many places to ear in downtown Burbank, but for us the difference is the staff. We are always greeted with a smile and taken care of. The food is consistent and delicious! You can't beat the...
Food and atmosphere was good. Mind you it was my 1st visit along with my fiancee and we got rubbed the wrong way upon entry by the hostess. As we enter 1st with a following couple, the hostess asked if we wouldn't mind sitting at small table for 2 at the bar and which I agreed if there was no booths available.
As she sits us down my fiancee immediately noticed the couple which came after us was...
Nice Mexican restaurant right off the main drag in downtown Burbank.The decor was very authentic Mexican looking, and the service was fantastic. Our waitress Miriam was very excited to serve us and made some great suggestions and very friendly. the food was very good as...
Had a tasty and filling meal at Don Cuco. The tortilla soup and guacamole was delicious. My wife had fajitas--the combo has steak, chicken and shrimp of nice quality...good size pieces...two of each. I ordered a combo platter and it was quite good. They also...
This place surpassed my expectations in a lot of ways. The hostesses are some of the nicest girls I've seen working in a restaurant. They went beyond my expectations in friendliness and service. The atmosphere is definitely your fun, dimly lit, colorful Mexican ambiance. I...

food good drinks great nice atmo and larger than the one in toulca lake
always good service and great chips and salsa
As southern Californians, we are very familiar with Mexican food; we eat it - and cook it - frequently. This is the best place for Mexican food in the Burbank area. Not greasy, well-prepared and presented. Good service. Easy parking

Great service wonderful food yummy drinks :) ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Give me the option to post a picture of real mexican food that I enjoy, same dish,same amount and only pay $8.99. Its called Puesto Del Sol in San Pedro.
I paid $16.99 at Don Cucos for a dinner that was horrible. They didnt even make it there,,they heat it up from a package. Shame on this restaurant for over pricing and then add gratuaty.

Deliciosas enchiladas!!! Regresare a don Cuco en mi próxima visita a LA, Buen ambiente y decoración, un pedacito del ♡ mexicano en Burbank, saludos a nuestros paisanos trabajadores!!!
Visited with family for dinner.
A reasonably priced varied menu was available
Would certainly go there again.
Awesome! Im mexican and I know. Bartenders Ernesto and Tomas the best. The manager top notch, great !
The Food, Service and Decor are all pretty nice. It is what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. Menu is very complete. Food quality is very high.
I love the restaurant beautiful, love their margarita
I LOVE Love this place everything is do yummy i haven't had one bad thing
Pretty decent. I liked the chips and salsa a lot. I'm admittedly picky about Mexican food though so I usually go to hole in the wall joints but I was in Burbank for a movie.
They have the best food and most amazing margaritas !!
We were here 2days ago with our 16months "old" daughter,after 4 years...and - everything is the same as it was - food excellent (forgot about how big the portions are,so we ordered apetizers )...service very friendly and a nice lady (a guest) even started singing for our little girl as we were leaving (so that means atmosphere was good ) :)
Will ALWAYS come again when we are in LA :)
The Best!! Simply a must for anyone who wants great food , great drinks and great service! We have been there too many times to count and will be there many more times!!! If you are in the area or want great food it's worth a drive !!
Love this place everyone is so nice and the food is good.
Still prefer the toluca lake location, but I hate the wait.
Decent Mexican restaurant. Chips and salsa is complementary and delicious.
All I can say is my experience at Don Cuco’s was a disaster. I haven’t forgiven them for it, all this time later. Which is why I feel very comfortable taking what is otherwise, a pretty cheap shot.
...
Amazing Mexican Food. Atmosphere is pure authentic Mexican traditions. They started us off with a heaping basket of tortilla chips, salsa, and sour cream (free of charge, but i'm sure included in the cost of the other dishes). I ordered enchiladas, rice, and beans which were AMAZING. So full of a flavor. My meal started off with Tortilla soup which is to die for. I was so stuffed leaving.....
Best Margaritas in town!!!! They actually put Tequila in theirs...haha.
I ordered the combo fajitas, which were amazing! The steak was so tender and well seasoned it was almost a shame to throw it in a tortilla. Service was attentive, We'll go back again next time we're in Burbank.
this is another Don Cuco location that i absolutely love! my husband and i would go here to for happy hour and really enjoy the food, drinks and ambiance. a friend celebrated her birthday here as well and it was a blast. the crew is efficient and deserved good tip!
