My favorite snack/dessert place to go to when I come back to Calexico! Especially during those hot summer days, Cuchis is the place to go to to get some refreshing drinks. I love everything here and there is nothing that I don’t like(except for anything that is way too spicy since I can’t handle it haha). My usuals are usually churros loco, chilemango, mango preparado, and tostilocos. Those are the items on the menu that you cannot go wrong with. I recently tried their mangonada and it was delicious! Tasted like chilemango but they add more big pieces of mangos in it. However they added a little too much chamoy so it was a bit too sour and spicy when I mixed it all up and couldn’t taste the mango flavor. I crave this all the time when I’m away from Calexico and it’s hard to find anything like this in San Diego. And when you do, it’s way over priced and not worth it. I knocked off 1 star for a few reasons: the drinks can be inconsistent and there have been at least 3 times where we found hair in the churros loco and once when the cueritos went bad and they still gave it to us(it was soft instead of hard and chewy, and the color was grayish black). Other than that, their service is great and this placed have improved a lot and its more sanitized. Can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in town!

I have been coming to Cuchis since I was a little girl, way before I became the phenomenal Unilocaler that I am. lol I have family in the area so I ALWAYS stop by EVERY time I visit. I have yet to find a place like this in the LA area. Cuchis offers everything from Raspados to Nachos to Smoothies to Chips to Candies & more! My personal favorites: *Papas Locas(Your choice of chips. They cut the bag open and pile in the following toppings: diced cucumber, Japanese peanuts, chamoy, chile pepper, tamarindo candy, and cueritos — but I usually ask for it w/o cueritos). It appears to be a strange combination of a snack but it’s really delicious. The contrast of the cool cucumber with the tangy chamoy and tamarindo candies is enough to make your taste buds do the kind of happy dance I do when my bf’s mom makes me quesadillas! lol *Fresas con Crema(Ice cream of your choice-Vanilla tastes best-topped with whipped cream and strawberries, then drizzled with lechera). *Raspado con Nieve(Choose any Raspado and ask for a scoop of ice cream on top. I like Vanilla or Banana). You can also order(your choice of) chips with nacho cheese sauce poured in the bag, or a variety of other fruit drinks or fruit/chile drinks). They sell Clamatos too! If you’re ever in the area, you should stop by. I wish I could put Cuchis in my pocket and take it back with me to LA. Haha

This place is the BOMB! Great tasting treats at an affordable price. If you want to stay north of the border for your raspados then this is the place to go. I highly recommend Julio and the gang because they’re great at what they do.

Love this place :) only thing I am not a fan of is that they don’t toss your Pico De Gallo for you! I made a HUGE Mess trying to do this myself last weekend haha. The Raspados are good but they could do with a teeny bit less sugar. People down in the Valley are addicted to sugar, it’s like they either want Diabetes or Cavities or sometimes both! Either way their raspados are good, just wish they would offer more health conscious alternatives for those people who have already acquired diabetes and those of us who don’t want diabetes :) this for certain is a business that is SURE to stand the test of time down in the valley, all because the hot weather will guarantee some customers looking for a refreshing treat! Keep up the good work! I know Unilocal isn’t a big thing in the valley yet but you can rest assured you guys will be getting some good reviews and WHEN Unilocal popularity kicks in you guys are golden ;)
