Cuquita's Restaurant (Reported Closed)

Traditional Mexican home cooking and friendly staff is what you get at this popular locals-only Henderson spot.

In Short
""Homey"" is how to describe this brightly lit Mexican eatery. Set in a converted house, Mexican knickknacks and colorful ceramics adorn every wall and shelf. Mexican families...

OMG We use to go to the original location on Henderson until they closed. I love this place. This is one of the most authentic Mexican food placed in Dallas. Their Mole, green enchiladas, and homemade corn tortillas are great! We go here…

We recently visited your new location on NW Hwy off 635 in Mesquite. We search the web looking for a good mexican restaurant when we remebered your new location that we pass enroute to our church weekly. We looked it up in the web and saw the good reviews that your reastaurant has received. Regarding today's visit , we were very disapointed with the quality of the food we ordered as well as the service. I was amazed that our waiteress said less than five (5) words through out our visit. We asked for more hot sauce (which we were willing to pay extra) and an order of tortillas that were...

A few of us were visiting Dallas, and a local took us here. This place is excellent! Keys to a delicious Mexican restaurant: 1- Lots of Mexican diners; 2- Fresh tortillas; 3- Regional dishes. Cuquita's has all three. I had the posole, and it was delicious. Every other dish I tried was great, too. I can't compare it against any other Mexican place in Dallas, but I probably never will. Everytime I go back, I'll just head to Cuquita's.

Pros

+ great food

Cons

- nah

OH how I love this restaurant. If you are wanting authentic ""just like my abuela made it"" mexican food, then this is your place. The 2 hot sauces are out of this world and just spicy enough to make it interesting. You simply won't find another restaurant in town that has salsa like Cuquitas, so enjoy it. Soon after you arrive they'll bring you complimentary tortillas to eat with your salsa. They are fresh as fresh can be!! My menu fav is the Chilaquiles con Chorizo. It's a yummy combination of pan fried tortillas strips, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, egg and finally chorizo (mex...

If you're looking for excellent Mexican food, Cuquita's is a favorite among many local Mexicans and pulls in a huge crowd of every ethnicity you can think of! Now-- if you're in it for excellent food-- it's always better to go to a place where the ethnicity of the restaurant has those for customers as well. You KNOW for a fact the food is great then!
Cuquita's is one of my favorites in the...

Cuquita's, in East Dallas, serves authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes from sun-up to sun-down. And like many early morning eateries, Cuquita's features a range of greasy dishes. The staff is bilingual and friendly besides homemade tortillas and fresh-squeezed lemonade are a good reason to visit Cuquita's. The vast menu includes everything from basic enchiladas to beef tongue. Breakfast...
