In Short
The Flores family named their restaurant after the Mexican song, hoping to inspire festivity with dance, drinks and good food. Lively music, strong margaritas and a lengthy menu certainly do the trick. Adorned with bright pinatas and murals of Mexico, he restaurant is often crowded with families and groups of friends. Entrees are enormous and feature tres colores enchiladas and light and crispy flautas with goat cheese and avocado.

First off, the chips were greasy and seemed like they had been cooked in leftover oil from the previous day. The main ingredient in the salsa tasted like stale red pepper flakes from a pizza shaker. The two entrees we have were ok, but devoid of much flavor and very bland. Glad we tried it, but wouldn't go back.

I just ate at La Cucaracha for the first time. I can't believe I'd never been to this gem of a restaurant. I had the Pork Guisado Burrito. It was excellent. The portions are *huge*. I was also impressed with their beer selection. You don't usually find Summit at a Mexican restaurant. I'll definitely be bringing people back to this place.

The food was okay but nothing that I would rush back for. We'd been there a few years ago while the couple we were there with had been there only a few months ago. We both felt that the quality had gone down for the price. Refills of anything -pop (including kids) and chips (to finish the $9 guac) were all charged for. Gratuity is charged for groups of 6 and over. Just some things to be aware of if your dining as a group or taking a family.

Know Before You Go:
If the idea of 30 dinner choices seems daunting, order the "Son of a Fiesta" combination plate, which includes a little bit of everything.
