"Taco Truck" Burrito
I order from Cuckoo's nest often, during my work day its the perfect lunch. I love the salads and the taco truck burrito with sweet potato fries. I ordered take out delivery with margaritas to go during covid shut down and it was great! Always great service too. Can't wait to have one of their perfect margaritas in the dining room soon!
Burrito Grande
Awesome - loved it
Burrito Grande
This is my all-time favorite Chicken Burrito! The spices are perfect and big pieces of chicken. The accompaniments make the dish complete. Love the tamales. Shrimp Flautas are a menu special; I highly recommend!
Fish Taco
My friend and I ordered two hearty dishes to share: the mahi mahi fish tacos and the Chimichanga Grande with beef. Both were lovely to look at and delicious, with just enough heat to whet the appetite, but not so much as to be overpowering for those who like milder presentations. Cuckoo's Nest is clever to achieve a compromise in its menu selections between unusual dishes for the adventurous "foodie" and more familiar plates for those who seek consistency and delight in comfort foods.
Grilled Quesadilla
Delicious
Combo Plates
Had a beef taco and chicken enchilada. Both were tasty and full of meat. Rice and beans also full of flavor. Chips and salsa were eaten and refilled often. Nice touch.
Cajun Garlic Shrimp & Scallops
This is my favorite dish here! I highly recommend it. The scallops and shrimp are always fresh- cooked perfectly- the sauce is light, flavorful and delicious! Don't forget to top it with fresh grated Parmesan cheese!!!!
Burrito Grande
We have been going to "The Nest" since 1976 and love it. We often go once or even twice a week. All the meals are excellent and their margaritas beat any we've ever had elsewhere! The take out with deliver during the quarantine went flawlessly. Thanks!
Enchilada
Never disappointed!!!!!
Street Tacos (3)
My favorite meal - anywhere!
Chicken Fajitas
Best food Best service Best margarita Best to go food on shoreline for sure. Prompt clean and safest place to buy your dinner
Monterrey Salad
Simple and delicious
Fish Taco
I have been eating at the Cuckoo's Nest since it opened over 40 years ago, and it still remains one of my favorite restaurants. It is hard to pick their best meal. I have tried just about everything! It is my "go to" place to meet friends and enjoy a great meal at a reasonable price. From the appetizers to the entrees, or even the a la carte menu if you are in the mood for lighter fare, everything remains consistently delicious. It has always been one of the staples of our family. It is especially important that we support them during this difficult time as they offer curbside pick up.
Blackened Whitefish
Always one of my favorite meals, was just as delicious take out as dine in.
Fish Taco
The fish taco dinner is amazing! The fish is fried perfectly and is not too heavy. Great sauce and accompanying condiments. Would definitely recommend!
Burrito Grande
Delicious I tried and definitely hooked, ordered it last 3 times.
Chimichanga Grande
Best around! Always made fresh. It really is the best place on the shoreline for any Mexican dish. Treat yourself today and head over here to the next. You won't be disappointed no matter what you order.
Cajun Jambalaya
I love this dish!The portion & price is just right for me! fresh ingredients and spiced perfectly :)
Taco
By far, best restaurant in the area.
Avocado Chicken Salad
Fresh and DE-licious! Salad topped with Chicken grilled to perfection. A responsible choice without sacrificing flavor! I'll be back!!
Southwestern Caesar Salad
We started with the grilled cheese quesadilla and were pleased we had grilled chicken added to it as the chicken was freshly grilled and plentiful throughout each piece. Homemade salsa is the best and is provided complimentary. For entree had shrimp added to the SW Caesar Salad and it was grilled to perfection with a light blackening and an abundance of large shrimp. The salads are obviously made fresh and the combination of beans, corn and addition of red onions made it a delicious meal with house made creamy garlic dressing that compliments the artisan fresh parmesan cheese lightly grated over the top. The numerous selections on the menu make it difficult to choose an entree and there is plenty for non mexican food lovers to enjoy.
Cajun Chicken & Penne Pasta
I absolutely LOVE this dish! The creamy Cajun sauce is so delicious. I always have a hard time deciding because this dish is my favorite but I love love love their nachos as well. Both of my kids love their kids menu so it makes it so easy when we order from Cuckoos Nest to get things my whole family will love!
Southwestern Caesar Salad
I love this Caesar salad! I always add grilled chicken to it and it makes it a complete meal. It's the best and I love the tortilla strips and black beans that give it that Mexican flair!
Monterrey Salad
Cuckoos Nest has been my all time favorite for Mexican for years!! My fave go-to's are the Monterrey salad with garlic dressing (that I could literally drink) and the chicken enchiladas!!!! Oh, and the SALSA—-YUM-o!!!!
Taco
Food was great. The phone lines were busy so we took a ride to order. Service was great food was great and now enjoying a Margarita to go. Will return.
Connecticut Nachos
I had it with just chicken, tomatoes & mozzarella cheese. It was absolutely delicious. It was so good that I cleaned the plate (I couldn't stop eating it). And it was a good size plate too.
Fajita
Best on the shoreline. Veggies are fresh & crisp and the chicken moist & tender. Have this with the house margarita....so good.
Original Nachos
Best Nachos i ever ate! We like to add diced tomatoes sometimes - been thinking about them regularly since this shutdown started. Can't wait to get bk to the Nest for Nachos and a couple of cold Coronas!
Burrito Grande
I get my burrito grande with beef and extra sour cream on the side. I have been going to the cuckoos nest since I was about 8 years old and this is my go to meal. I just recently had my third child and during my pregnancy it was all I craved. I visited frequently and saw my waitress Sue for my Burrito Grande so often that she knew what to order me as soon as I got there! The meal is unbelievable! The beef has mouth watering flavor and seasoning and the burrito is soft and cheese gooey. The meal is served with rice and beans and altogether big enough to feed my large husband, or my pregnant self lol! Though, I almost always have left overs! I highly recommend!
Steak
My favorite thing to eat.
Cajun Prime Rib*
The Cajun prime rib Is hands down the best thing here! So juicy and tender. The potato's are always cooked to perfection. Add a glass of sangria and the meal is phenomenal.
Fajita
I have tried all combinations of the fajitas and they are ALWAYS fabulous! Brought to the table sizzling and smelling amazing, there is consistently a generous portion of fresh, crispy vegetables to accompany your selection of meats and/or shrimp. There are sides of shredded cheese, fresh guacamole and sour cream for you to build your own dinner masterpiece. The Mexican rice is delicious as well and the entire dish can be spiced up further, if desired, with their delicious red taco sauce. This is a go-to favorite menu item, for sure!
Avocado Chicken Salad
I've been to the Cuckoos Nest over 50 times. When you try the food, meet the staff, and actually experience the atmosphere it's easy to see why. My family and I have tried many of the items on the menu, but nothing can compare to the gumbo. Yet everything I've tried from there is never disappointing. The takeout is great too, which is hard to find !!
Burrito
Omg I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The staff is always wonderful, the food is always consistent and delicious. I can't wait to come back and bring all of our family and friends to celebrate our first year of marriage !!:)
Buffet Dining
We love the brunch buffet! We visit regularly with our kids, but have also celebrated birthdays, and even a baptism reception at Cuckoos Nest. There's always an amazing selection of food choices, and you can't beat their red sangria. Yum! Looking forward to our next visit!
Burrito
Coworkers recommended this authentic Mexican restaurant to me and I just had to try it! I'll need to come back again to try more items :)
"Taco Truck" Burrito
First, they have all the typical fare, tacos, enchiladas, etc. However, what they also have are wonderful dishes made with pineapple, mango and wonderful fresh ingredients that are so full of flavor. It is not like any other Mexican restaurant in the area. The place is well decorated and is a friendly place to eat.
Tostada
Dinner was amazing! Everything was hot and delicious and our waiter was kind and very attentive. The prickly pear margarita was also yummy!!!
Chicken Fajitas
Had cuckoos nest fajitas at brunch and for dinner. They are delicious and with the addition the fresh squash and carrots to the usual sides it really set theirs apart
Bacon & Sausage
