"Maria Cuca 's opened up a couple of years ago in Keller, and we 've been infrequent visitors ever since ~6 to 7 times). To summarize, this is a place we so bad want to love... and we don 't. We 'll still go on occasion of course, but I 'm afraid the food just doesn 't measure up to others in the area, at least for our tastes.Food: Up until the main course, Maria Cuca 's is absolutely spot on. The chips are great. The salsas are great they have more than just the table sauce, be sure to ask). Their famous homemade corn tortillas are great. And while we hardly ever talk about service, we have to say it 's been uniformly excellent throughout, including the owner. And then comes the most important part: The entree. Sigh. We 'll give Maria Cuca 's this: They are entirely unique, and will not remind you of the other Mexican restaurants. That is definitely a plus, and something for you all to consider when reading this review. It 's just that for what they do, we 're not enthralled. And that goes for Mrs. RJG too. On our very first visit, I saw they have Chipotle Enchiladas. Right there, I thought I was set for life. It 's not something you see often, and we always loved the ones at El Fenix. Way too sweet! They use some sort of crema in it. Ack! Oh look, they have 'Pancho 's Shrimp ' the bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp we so love. Flat and chewy. The crabmeat sauce is utterly disgusting. Sorry it is. Carne Asada? Tough. Brisket tacos? Ehh. Old fashioned #1 Combo Tex Mex plate? Boring. Verde sauce? Sour. Tacos? Dull. Mannnnnnn. Well, the rice and beans are good anyway. Not the best of course, but definitely flavorful. What do you do? I guess we 'll just keep at it. We know there has to be something we 'll love here. That 's all it takes right? One dish. We really like these folks, and want them to succeed, but we have to be honest. Another reason to remain anonymous I suppose...Drink: Remember this quote? 'Up until the main course, Maria Cuca 's is absolutely spot on '. The frozen and rocks) margaritas definitely assist in that assessment. A superb variation, and they give you one of those monster straws to penetrate the slushy ice. Just how I like them too thick and freezing! They have a full bar for those who like more than beer and margaritas."
