Cuchara — Restaurant in Houston

Help me Share I never tend to go wrong with anyone except business owners since I have mine and I know that the main thing is to be sociable and customer service that is why I never let anyone attend to my clients because they say an employee is capable of destroying your business in the way you treat your clients and those who know me, owners of many places and also clients of many years know who I am... well I'll tell you what just happened to me in This Restaurant Cuchara Restaurant which for me is Discrimination towards a child or special person (Autism) those who are mothers and have a child or family member with autism know that children like this do not eat normal food like anyone else, for example my son (Chicken nuggets, froot loops, bananas, cookies, mango juice) so I always carry his food with me since I don't like my son to stare hungry... Well, I arrived, I sat down and before ordering I took out a very small topper with his froot loops you can see it in the first photo then the “manager” named Dani approaches something like that you can see it in the photo in quotes because he had everything pretended to be except being the manager of a restaurant with that never imagined outfit he was the manager, The waiters had a better presentation than him, he approached me and told me that I couldn't get food from another place, I explained to him that my son had autism, the child doesn't eat anything and that, well, the restaurant doesn't even have a children's menu, they can eat it there. see in photos and I agree if the name of some other restaurant could be seen on the outside or they would take the bag from another food place but it was a topper there you can see where my child starts to cry because I was going to take away his snack after he I explained to him, he told me that he didn't care and that the child couldn't eat. I don't know if it's discrimination but for me it is, so it's terrible service. I hope they don't have to go through such an unpleasant moment and have to eat with a lump in their throat because of it. I made that public and when I was leaving he came up to me and gave me a card to file a complaint and I told him I don't care what you give me, I will make the complaint my way, you discriminated against my son being able to eat here because he is a special child. and he told me you had never come here as if mocking and I told him many times and in better places they have allowed my son to eat his food when I explain to them that he does not eat anything because of his problem but his ignorance did not let him understand that... I will never return to this place as long as this person is here, if there was a sign saying no special children or children with autism since there is no children's menu I would agree but there isn't… Too bad about the staff in this place… Leave your comments if it has...

Cool fun Atmosphere & Mexico Inspired Everything! I want to thank Cuchara for making a special day even MORE Special in so many ways!! Came into town from San Antonio to see our Daughter receive her College Ring & to meet her Boyfriend for the first time. From minute 1 we were treated like Special Guests of Cuchara's! Never knowing our occasion but treating us as if just being there was THE EVENT meant so much to us!! This thank you is for the Owner of the restaurant to our Waiter & all Waiters & Waitresses , the Chef, the Bartender, the Bar Backs, & the entire Staff... You all HANDS DOWN.... ROCK!! Never have we ever been treated so well by any establishment before. We ended up spending quite a bit to the tune of over $400.00! Which we didn't flinch at because the EVERYTHING was fantastic! No one there really new that $$ was no object for this day, but from minute 1 we were treated like royalty... and our party of 4 was a mixture of Anglo & Mexican Culture ( so no bias at all) we were just good customers and they were there for us!! Drinks - FABULOUS- Service - Spectacular - Food -AMAZING -Atmosphere - FUN - Decor- CLOROFUL!!

Staff & Customers HONEST! At the end of our beautiful evening, food everything having been on point my daughter realizes after being there at least 2 hrs her purse was missing!! Fearing the worst she went to ck the ladies room because that was our first destination upon arrival, not there she checked with the Staff, they had been holding it because it was turned in NOTHING missing all intact FOR at least 2 hours!! Unheard now a-days!

Not a surprise they had been visited and filmed with Guy Fierri!! I will ALWAYS remember this restaurant and will Return!! Thanks Again for a Great Dining and Eye Opening experience! Go go go go go...

Our recent visit to Cuchara in Houston was a mixed experience. The ambiance was lovely, with a nice, chill, and relaxing environment perfect for a leisurely lunch. However, the dining experience itself left much to be desired.

Upon arriving, we informed our waiter that it was our first time at the restaurant, hoping for some recommendations. Unfortunately, he seemed uninterested and merely gave us the generic response, “everything is good here.”

We started with the guacamole and chips, which turned out to be quite disappointing. The guacamole lacked essential ingredients like onions, tomatoes, garlic, salt, and pepper and most importantly LIME. It seemed more like puréed avocado than the flavorful guacamole we were expecting.

For the main course, my partner had the Tamale de Cazuela, which was dry and resembled a cornbread hamburger more than a tamale. On the other hand, I tried the Asado de Res, which was wonderful and full of great flavors. It was the highlight of our meal.

One major drawback was the service. When our waiter checked on us, we expressed our displeasure with the guacamole and tamale. His response was simply “okay,” and he walked away without clearing any of the dishes. This left our table crowded and uncomfortable when our main courses arrived.

A positive note was their selection of authentic Mexican soft drinks, which added a nice touch to the meal.

In summary, while the ambiance at Cuchara is inviting, the food and service were inconsistent. The Asado de Res was delightful, but the other dishes and the lackluster service detracted from our overall experience. With some improvements in these areas, Cuchara could become a top-notch...
