We had a wonderful meal at Cuchi Cuchi. The drinks were fantastic. Try the Hoochie Cuchi (ginger, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, hibiscus juice, lemon juice, tequila, ginger brandy). Our group especially liked the savory cornets of tuna tartare and avocado mousse and the Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower fritters with spicy sauce). The wait staff were helpful, accommodating, nice. Decor adds to... More

Popular noisy Cambridge bar and tapas place. Atmosphere - well, some people like it. Waitresses dressed as floozies. food very tasty, small plates but by end of evening really added up. Fairly priced wines. Waitstaff only moderately efficient, forgot my desert. Why to they all have that insincere highpitched monotone? On street parking.

Fun place - eclectic atmosphere. Small plates - so you can try a lot of different things. Huge drink menu. A little on the pricey side- but well worth a visit.

Not too much space, but a great place to go. Food is good, service also and the ambience is especially interesting and fun.

The kind of place that's all on the presentation but nothing about the taste. We had dinner there twice, the dishes seemed to be systematically tasteless and over seasoned. Better pass on this one!

My boyfriend took me here for my 49th birthday. We decided to sit at the bar because we like the action and talking to people. The food was excellent. The drinks were superb. When the bartender found out it was my birthday, he would make drinks with a little extra and hand me a shot. He was awesome. The food... More

Amazing, inventive drinks and a extremely eclectic tapas type menu will literally make you feel like you traveled the world. Though tapas, the portions are slightly larger (they make it a point to mention that on the menu) so the dishes are perfect sharing quantity.The Cuban Cigars were delicious and their presentation was adorable. If you remember nothing else from... More

I did not know what to expect going here for a company gathering. Very fun atmosphere and excellent service. Food was great, small plates to share and sample the menu. Loved the short ribs and the Tagine! Drinks were unique and excellent. Can't wait to go back.

Cuchi Cuchi is very cheap to it's employees, they pay below minimum wage and pocket most the tips anyway. Which in turn makes the servers not very excited or happy to be serving you. Then when you ask for a raise they let you go and make it look like they fired you so you can't collect unemployment. They trick... More
