CUCHARITA

B V

Cucharita is a cute spot with a colorful, cozy vibe, but overall it fell short for us especially for the price. We went on a Saturday and waited about 45 minutes, which is pretty normal for Houston brunch, but the value just didn’t match the cost once we sat down. We ordered a mix of breakfast and bakery items. The blueberry muffin and the concha were genuinely good, and my husband enjoyed his migas with avocado, though nothing about it stood out as special. I tried the Tlacoyo de Frijol, which was $12 for a small portion tasty enough, but not worth the price. Between the three of us, we spent close to $100 for a brunch that felt very minimal in terms of quantity. Drinks were another downside. They didn’t have regular coffee or tea, only their Café Cucharita, which has a very strong, distinct flavor. They also didn’t have Topo Chico, only a flavored mineral water I’d never tried before, and honestly didn’t care for. The server was also hard to find if we needed anything so I disliked that as well. We sat outside since the weather was nice, but the chairs were hard and uncomfortable, which made the longer wait and higher prices more noticeable. Overall, Cucharita is better for grabbing a pastry or maybe a single taco, but not for a full brunch. The food was decent, the pastries were the highlight, but the pricing, portion size, and lack of basic drink options make it a place I wouldn’t return to for a full meal.

The establishment is very cozy. I ordered the "Chilaquiles del Dia," but it was a poor decision, as it did not meet expectations in terms of flavor. The service was subpar, despite it being a relatively quiet morning. I have visited this location before, and the experience was satisfactory; however, on this occasion, the dish I received was not of the usual quality.

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!

Came for the first time to try it out because my friend said she loved it. I SEE THE HYPE. It was amazing. The environment, the vibes, the food, the service. Amazing. I love everything about this place. It’s hard to find a good place nowadays that’s checks off everything in ur boxes but this one did for sure. Will be coming back 100% keep it up I love it!

Stopped by on a Sunday for a late breakfast and there was about a 45–60 minute wait, but we were seated in closer to 30 minutes. I ordered the Café de Olla (hot) and my friend had the Café Cucharita (iced) — both were delicious. For food, I had the Tostados Chelo with over-medium eggs (8/10), and my friend ordered the Chilaquiles de la Semana, which were outstanding (10/10). We also shared a filled pastry from their bakery section (8/10) — I think it would have been even better warmed up. Parking was a bit tricky since we only found street parking, but overall the service was friendly and the experience was great.
