    I came here for Valentine’s Day and got a taco and some pastry’s! They had the restaurant set up really cute and our waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable. The food is authentic not texmex. It was good and it was cool to try the unique flavors

    Absolutely loved this place! The food was fantastic — the chilaquiles were bursting with flavor, and the Tostadas Chelo were just as delicious. The salsa verde really stood out, packed with bold, fresh taste. I tried the iced Café El Manuel, and it was so good! The pan dulce was soft, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was excellent, super friendly and attentive. Just a heads-up: they don’t accept cash, so make sure to bring a card or use Apple Pay. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Cucharita is a beautiful place with a charming atmosphere and thoughtful attention to detail. The decor is lovely, and the ambiance feels warm and inviting. I ordered the quesadillas, and they were absolutely delicious—especially the squash blossom and beef barbacoa. The service was also excellent; our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality and experience make it well worth it.

    We had tacos, coffee, and a pastry. Jennifer was very welcoming and helpful as it was our first time. Attention to the small details makes this stand out as a destination. Loved the vibe here. I bought a pair of earrings and purchased a pastry as a gift.

    Cucharita is one of my partner and I’s favorite places to go on the weekend for brunch. The food is absolutely delicious and comforting. The coffee hits the spot and so does every menu item we’ve tried. I especially love the tostadas. Service is always perfect and fast. Definitely also recommend their other restaurant Cuchara down the street!

    Enjoyed the atmosphere before we enjoyed the food. The chilaqulies were some of the best. The serrano and cheese tamales were so damn good. Tried a couple of coffees and they were good. The conchas (sweet bread) had the traditional flavor of Mexico. Service was top notch. We highly recommend you make an effort to try it out!
