Carnitas Don Cuco — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Wanted to try some different carnitas outside of Carnitas Loya. Been coming here pretty consistently. So far ive gotten the burrito, super nachos and carnitas family pack.

Burritos are consistent with a good even mix of ingredients.

Super nachos pack a punch. Loaded and I do mean loaded. I could barely finish half of these. Loaded with all toppings including nacho cheese.

The carnitas family pack is my go to here. Large rice and beans, 1lb of carnitas or opt for a mixta which is carnitas, buche and cueritos. Delicious shredded carnitas which have both soft and more fried bits. Great consistency across the board. The rice is just like mi abuelitas. And the beans are very good and well flavored. I dont know what they put in the beans but its magical.

If you also enjoy chicharron en salsa verde this is great too. I alway pick up a little to eat with my tacos.

Abraham who is I believe the owner is very welcoming and nice. Always a good chat with him.

This spot is more of a grab an go for food although they do have a few tables to eat at.

A hidden gem in Pacoima. Carnitas Don Cuco is located in a small plaza off the Glenoaks Blvd and Gain Street. In this cute authentic Mexican restaurant you can smell the flavor. Once I walked in, I smelled the goodness cooking. The inside gives a cozy vibe. Menu can be found on the wall, right side. . The owner is very friendly, polite and on point. After I ordered my asada burrito con todo, with a side of quac, I took a seat. An older man walks in and starts playing his acoustic guitar. It was such perfect time. The man also sang a beautiful Mexican tune. At that point, I wish I spoke Spanish. My order was called up. The owner handed it to me, provided lime, and yummy salsas. I arrived to work and found out my guac was not in the bag. That is the only reason I gave service four stars. I think the quality control was missed on that. Happy to re-evaluate after, I go back in. I was bummed because I really wanted to try it. I will definitely be back. But this time, I will have a sit down meal in hope the guy with the guitar...

I was driving around the area looking for a restaurant that was open. Don Cuco was open and my girlfriend and I went to try it out. The owner was very kind and courteous. I could tell he had a good connection with his customers the way they both talked to each other. Very family friendly atmosphere. I had the Birria Plate and my girlfriend had the Chile Relleno Plate. The food was incredible. The birria was very soft and flavorful. I don't know what they put in those beans, but they were amazingly good. The tortillas were made by hand and just enveloped all the ingredients so well. My girlfriend enjoyed her meal as well, along with the Orchata. Overall, the food was delicious. The price was just right. The staff was very kind and respectful to everyone in the restaurant. I would recommend you give it a try. You will find something that...
