Cuca's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Yucaipa

Cuca's Mexican Food has been around since the 1990's, establishing itself in Redlands, CA as one of the premiere locations to get authentic Mexican fast food items without the high prices or long waits... The Yucaipa, CA location carries that same sentiment while going above and beyond.

This location offers generous seating to accommodate large families as well as intimate booths for two. The inside of the restaurant has been redone with an updated interior offering a festive Mexican theme without being overdone. The dining area is kept clean and is well maintained as are the bathrooms and entire property.

Food offerings are plenty, with everything from burritos to tacos, sopes to enchiladas, and even going as far as to serve menudo and tamales. The daily special is a long time favorite among locals offering a "pick 2 items" approach while also including a medium drink. Cuca's also has a "day of the week" special that offers 6-7 different items that change for the given day ranging from a bean & cheese burrito, egg & cheese burrito, taco, tostada, quesadilla, cheeseburger etc. for only $1.39 per item with a limit of (5) per customer.

Placed an order December 1st , 2023 via drive through. No longer live in the area but will drive down when my fiancé has to swing by Yucaipa for school. The order placed 12/01/2023 was a chicken taco salad no lettuce, a side of salsa and a combo burrito. The chicken taco salad came with no chips? And the combo burrito only had ground beef and cheese. I live about 20ish minutes away and did not notice mistakes until I was home. I called same day and was immediately told I could come back another day for remake(I explained the not living in Yucaipa situation and was told no problem). I called today 01/31/2024, asked about remake, considering semester has started again for school (needed to make trip down to Yucaipa)and was told I had only up to two weeks to claim remake and nothing can be done now. I wish I knew this information back in December, I would have took the drive back because this food...

Been eating at Cucas since 1990 (Redlands loc) PROS: high quality ingredients(like all white meat chxn in the chxn burritto& NO beans & rice), good cheese & sour cream($$), fresh cilantro & house made sauces, blow ur mind delish grilled chxn salad that's delish while still being lite. Call in/pick up orders r quick. CONS: prices going up & portions going down(MORE so than everyone else), green sauce was the best anywhere, now its soo hot u cant eat the food u put it on(PLEASE, change it back!), close whenever they feel like it despite posted hours...so, if ure craving Cucas at 8pm...too bad they r likely closed. Matter of fact, I wouldnt even waste ur time or gas driving down there after 7:30pm. LONG drive thru line between 6&7pm (1/2 hr wait). I have noticed the green sauce is still the best around at their Redlands location & they stick to their posted...
