Why Cuco's Taqueria why was this picked
Cuco's Taqueria on West Henderson Road started as a Mexican grocery store with a tiny taco counter and grew into a full restaurant that still sells a few Mexican goods. The menu covers ceviche, burritos, tamales, tortas and tacos al pastor, and the site handles reservations and posts a separate drinks menu. Online ordering handles takeout for nights when nobody wants to cook.

Know before you go
We order pastor and a torta at Cuco's Taqueria when Northwest Columbus wants honest plates without taco-bar nightlife noise. The Henderson Road room grew from a grocery counter into a full restaurant and still sells a few Mexican goods, which keeps the stop practical for weeknights. Dinner for two with drinks usually stays in the $$ range for couples or small family tables on a regular weeknight visit.
