Not sure how I just found out about this place, but hands down one of the best margaritas I’ve had and the food was amazing! Definitely will be back!
Late post! Neeley had an appointment in Huntsville so we took advantage of her making it ‘out East’ and I met her at Chuco! Long over due, been meaning to go but have barely had time to go to my own restaurant 🥵 Ran into Erick at Inline and it was a sign for me to go, just didn’t think I’d have the opportunity two days later! Stephanie and Erick have created a fun environment! Service was fantastic! Can’t remember our guy’s name but he took excellent care of us. Three Amigos (warm salsa, queso, guacamole) with fresh chips! I was just telling someone I wish more places had warm salsa after my last trip to Dallas…Queso Fundido! That cheese pull could’ve been a few feet but I was hawngry! Corn Ribs?!?! Yes, please! Chimichanga Picadillo for Neeley and Hard Tacos Trio for me. Everything on the plate has a purpose. Rice and Beans, might be the best I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant in the Rocket City! If you haven’t been yet, get there asap! Congratulations, Luthers on another fantastic addition to the Rocket City food scene 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Overall, this place exceeded expectations. The food was served hot, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was truly top-tier—perfect for a casual yet elevated dining experience. For starters, I highly recommend the street corn and the chile con queso. While the queso was slightly runny for my preference (I typically enjoy a thicker consistency), the flavor was outstanding. For main dishes, both the steak bowl and steak quesadillas were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. However, the chicken flautas were a disappointment—bland and lacking seasoning, making them feel like a poor value compared to the other offerings. Despite the flautas, the drink selection was a highlight. Though I opted for mocktails, each one was full of bold, refreshing flavor. I would absolutely return on my next visit and look forward to trying even more from the menu.
Absolutely loved this Mexican restaurant! The flavors were incredibly close to authentic Mexican cuisine, which is hard to find. The presentation of each dish was excellent, and the portion sizes were more than fair for the price. The tres leches cake was hands down the best I’ve ever had – moist, rich, and perfectly balanced. And the espresso martini? Simply outstanding – smooth, flavorful, and a real treat for the palate. Highly recommended!
We visited for the first time yesterday for an early dinner. We were quickly seated near the back. Everything we tried was great. Our waiter was nice but seemed indifferent. The manager on duty was very nice. The food beat our expectations. The atmosphere is cool, it's a tight place but that's pretty common downtown. The backdoor is an issue when it's cold out, it was constantly being opened and closed blasting you with cold air. Back to the food. I got a barbacoa torta and my wife had the carne asada street tacos. Everything was very flavorful and cooked well. We also had chips and salsa. We loved the salsa. Best we've had since we left Austin. You have to order it here. We also had a few beers. The beers came out shortly after we ordered. The chips and salsa didn't, it came with our meals. Not sure about the timing on that. My wife also ordered a second beer about halfway through the meal. Our waiter brought it to the table when we getting ready to settle up and leave. The manager brought it back to the table and offered a purple cup so we could take it with us. We weren't charged for it. Overall food is great. The prices were good. The service wasn't bad but the it seemed a little out of step. I'm sure we'll be back.
