La Cucaracha primarily functions as a restaurant and is well known for its Mexican fare. Because of this, it is busiest from 6-9pm and then really winds down. Average entrée prices range from $8-14 (they’ve also won a few food awards). The décor is festively Hispanic and the music is typically Latino. There is plenty of seating and smoking is sectioned to bar only. In the bar, music is bartender’s choice and can vary from Latino to classic rock. It is lined with large wooden booths and 50 different styles of tequila, all reasonably priced (no more than $12 a shot). The crowd is mostly older, ranging from 25-40’s who come in for the food and pinball. Overall, La Cucaracha is a good restaurant and has a good happy hour, but if you are seeking active nightly entertainment, seek somewhere else.
