Quick info
About Cuernos Chuecos
On the Bessemer Super Highway, Cuernos Chuecos is a Mexican restaurant with a menu of ten dishes. Tacos and Pollo a La Plancha anchor the offerings, alongside burritos filled with meat, rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. The restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations, and tables are served by waitstaff, though reaching the counter for a refill or the check sometimes takes a raised hand or a call across the room. The straightforward setup keeps the focus on the plates themselves rather than added frills. Guests seat themselves in for a meal built around familiar combinations, with the thick burritos standing out among the regular offerings for their generous fillings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply over the burritos, which several call the standout, describing them as thick, packed with meat, rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese, with one praising the burritos and papas platter and another noting the steak stayed warm and the lettuce crispy even after eating slowly. Carne asada and a michelada also draw enthusiastic mentions, alongside barbacoa. Close behind, several diners cite tacos and pollo a la plancha as decent but unremarkable, with one calling the chicken dry and another finding it bland with cold rice and beans. Service is the most repeated complaint: multiple reviewers describe long waits for orders, refills, and the check, tables not being checked on, and a language barrier with one server. One diner reports being denied coin change at checkout. Another describes the restroom as high up and inaccessible for elderly or handicapped patrons. Praise for service does appear in the same reviews that praise the food, describing staff as attentive and friendly.

“F'n awful. The waitress couldn't speak English. I ordered a sweet tea, she brought a bottled water. It took 30 minutes to place the order and even longer to pay for it. And there was absolutely no one but myself and 3 friends the entire time we were there. The food was terrible. It looked like a left over carcass after being dragged thru the everglades. I wouldn't eat here if it were one of 10 Commandments. "Thou shalt not eat here."”

“I really it's really close to my house and I would love for this to be a great Mexican restaurant but it's not. It's terrible I can't believe I've eaten there three times now. Each time gets worse than the last. Don't go there there's so many better places than this.”

“The burritos were excellent but I eat slowly so I let them cool. The steak was still warm and the lettuce was still crispy though. Yummy!”
