Los Cuates is an unincorporated community in Cameron County, Texas, United States. It is located within the Rio Grande Valley and the Brownsville-Harlingen metropolitan area.
The area in what is known as Los Cuates today was first settled in the late 1940s, with only scattered houses and farms in the area. It was most likely named for the surrounding Resaca de Los Cuates. The community soon developed into a colonia with several scattered houses in the 1960s. These homes numbered 30 in 1983. Three years later, Los Cuates reported 81 people living in 18 homes on 5acres of land. There were no population estimates in 2000.
Los Cuates is located on Farm to Market Road 1572, 1miles northwest of Los Fresnos in central Cameron County.
Today, the community is served by the Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District. Children in the community attend Los Fresnos Elementary School, Liberty Memorial Middle School, and Los Fresnos High School.
