10.29.25 My hubby really likes this place. I have yet to find my "favorite" food. I had fajita chicken torta and hubby had tacos. The chicken was a little boring. It needed more seasoning. The bread was great. The tacos looked yummy. I plan on trying tacos next time. The waiter was extremely busy, all the tables were full when we left. The restaurant was clean. read more

Best breakfast burritos I've ever had. They are huge and you get so much bang for your buck. Family owned, super nice people, food is delicious. read more

Been here several times but just now getting around to a review. Went for breakfast a few times and they never disappoint. Coffee is good and plentiful, service is friendly and the food is great. Tender steak strips and over easy eggs with red and green sauce, homemade corn tortillas and refried beans. Want it spicy, ala Mexicana. Lunch time gets busy but it's worth the short wait. Storefront is in a strip center next to a sushi restaurant and another local diner. Average decor but you're not here for a trip through history, it's the food. Reasonable prices and appropriate to the amount of you get. If you are from the area, chances are that you'll run into someone you know. Enjoy. read more

This was by far the worst mexican Food I have ever had... I ordered 2 chorizo and egg burritos add potatoes. There was no chorizo. there were tiny pieces of some kind of meat sprinkled through the eggs like a seasoning. I had more cilantro on my taco than chorizo on my $11 burrito. It was all beans and potato hunks... we also had a fajita taco. The fajita meat was in little tiny pieces and didn't have much flavor. I wish I knew how to add the photo. read more

The host did not want to accommodate our group of 9. We had to find chairs and add them to our table ourselves. Host only gave us 1 menu and no silverware. Took our drink order and never came back to take our food order. We had to ask another server if they could help us. 3 more tables came in and they all had their food before we did. I understand it would take longer because it's more of us but we did not order over the top food items 4 people in our group shared 2 plates, 1 person didn't eat. So 50+ min to get 6 plates. 2 of which were kids. The rest of the servers were great. It was just the host. Will probably not eat here again. read more

My wife and I are new to the area so we like to explore different small eating places. Reviews on Yelp caught my eye and since this place was nearby, we decided to give it a try. OMG! Service was great and the salsa that they serve with the tortilla chips comes out hot, probably straight from the pot. Delicious! We tried the caldo de res and it was tasty; the meat was very tender. This will be on our list of inexpensive (not implying that it is cheap), great deal of a place. We will definitely come back for more and will recommend to friends. read more

Authentic Mama's style Mexican dishes. Great service. Delicious tortillas. Love their fully loaded Carne Guisada plate, Caldo de Pollo and Mexican Chorizo and Egg breakfast. 5 Cinco never disappoints. read more

Authentic food - great service - they have remodeled about two years ago . Breakfast is very good. Give them a try!

The food here is so worth it. The prices are pretty good for the quality of food. The service is okay. The servers are very friendly though. It's always a good time with a relaxing vibe. It's a hidden gem in my opinion. read more

We ordered food for take out in store. The wait wasn't terrible. About 15 minutes. But the food came out cold. Almost like they made a bunch of burritos and let them sit out. The tortillas and chips were both stale. The queso was delicious though. It was pretty busy inside. So Im hoping maybe our experience was just the bad luck of the draw. We will go again at some point to try it fresh. read more

This restaurant is a quietly hidden gem! A family-owned restaurant. Always full of customers during their open hours. Large variety of entrees to choose from. Love that they offer a variety of meats, including some that are not found in some other restaurants like lengua & tripas. Everything is so delicious and tasty! Great prices! Large plates of food! So tasty! Highly recommend! read more

5 de Mayo - Beer Rita & modelo michilada!! The BEST!!! - Mexican Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

This place was authentic Mexican food, and even my friend asked why it does taste so different. And I told her it was not text mix; it's authentic Mexican food. The service was fantastic our waiter was very patient and gracious. I got traditional Mexican tacos and I would've gave a five star review if my beef wasn't that dry. But other than that ceviche and everything else was amazing. The place is a bit small but we managed to eight people on the large table. It was worth the stop. read more

Awesome place to eat great environment to bring family or a group of friends. Great place to celebrate birthdays or any other gathering. Food is hot and fresh my go to meal is the simpler or a caldo de res which they prepare it like my grandma used to do it is comfort food if you grow-up eating Mexican food. The staff is always friendly and ready to serve me either at the restaurant drive thru and even when i place the order over the phone. read more

Love their crispy tacos! The meat is super flavorful and delish. Always great service. Bonus: they have a drive through!

Visited here many times. True Mexican food, not Tex Mex. Breakfast tacos were a big hit when i brought them in for the guys at work. Menudo is awesome. they serve the salsa with the chips the way it should be, which is warm! Both the pastor and steak Taquitos with cilantro and onion were awesome. Best Mexican in Old Mag for sure. read more

Food had no flavor, the portion size was small, the potatoes were undercooked and the waitress never checked on me once.

It's pretty good. I usually get 3 chorizo con huevos for $9. Today I had a pretty good taco salad for $20. I wish it had more lettuce though. Plenty of meat, etc. read more

A great place to get authentic Mexican food not just the Tex-Mex food that's around.love it

Great menudo on Sundays I love to come here feels really nice the menudo is great the ladies taking care of the restaurant are very nice o love to get a menudo and a beer ... give it a try you will love it. read more

5 de Mayo is one of our go to breakfast spots for chorizo and eggs. The food and service are great!

Great breakfast just need to try the other meals but we are completely satisfied at breakfast and do not eat again. Great service as well.

Used to be good now you have to flag someone down for a refill ,or to pay food is good but service was BAD ! Hope they start hiring people who don't stand around on their phones or dancing and singing and talking amongst themselves while people waiting on them to come give them good service . read more

Our go to restaurant for Tex-Mex in Magnolia. The food is as good as if not better than the other 3 places here, BUT FAR LESS Expensive. We love everything on the menu. Their tortillas and salsas are made fresh. read more

Tortillas not fresh, meat dry and flavorless, chicken fajita meat tasted like the precooked bagged fajitas you microwave from Walmart. Highly disappointed. read more

Not bad. Came in to have a bite to eat. Craving Tex Mex. Not bad. Food was nice and hot. Fast service. Good food. I've had better but still enjoyable. read more

Magnolias best breakfast! We eat brakfast, lunch, and dinner. In two years we have never had a bad experience.

I've only ever eaten breakfast here, and now I only get the chilaquiles. Sure, it's about a million calories, but when you're having trouble getting out of bed because your country just elected its first dictator, knowing this delicious egg, white cheese and tortilla strip casserole is waiting for you might just swing your feet over the edge of the mattress. While you walk your dog, staring into the middle distance, you might drown out the screams in your head by anticipating the happy accordions of Northern Mexican music that will greet you as you enter this festive eatery. When you get here, don't even think about eating a tortilla chip from the generous basket they'll present you with when you're seated, however exquisite the red salsa may be-there'll be more of that salsa roja on the chilaquiles, as well as on the hearty side of potatoes. Seriously, prepare to burst your seams-this is a lot of food! The owners of Cinco de Mayo are from the state of Jalisco, Guadalajara to be precise, the second most populous region of the diverse and fascinating country famous in some circles only for maids and rapists. Called the Pearl of the Pacific, Jalisco is also home to Puerto Vallarta, a beautiful ocean town very popular with Americans looking to expatriate from the clownish political and cultural disaster that has befallen their home. Eventually I'll come here for lunch, and I'll happily update this when I try the tempting enchiladas or huaraches. Provided, of course, I haven't broken open a piñata full of barbiturates and chased a fistful down with good tequila. ¡Viva Mexico! read more

5 de Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Magnolia, Texas

Worst food ever!! Came today to this place for lunch and the place looked promising, some big tables and nice waitstaff, we looked at the menu ( too extensive) and finally we decided to order, my wife ordered the ribeye and me the tampiquena plate, the order took the average time , as soon as the plates came in those iron plates,both meats looked like they were frozen and put directly to the microwave, just the smell of them was like rotten food, my wife had to ask the lady to check if they had the right order , we didn't even have the audacity to try it , never going back again!! read more

will not come back here. to go order was wrong... cashier had an attitude. by the time we waited to get tacos corrected the other tacos were cold. disappointing. read more

Fist of all...wonderful people. I absolutely love their breakfast burritos . Make sure request the creamy green salsa!

Not a fancy restaurant but the food is good and service is friendly. We have been here a few times and tried different dishes and so far it was good, nothing extraordinary but good. They don't offer fountain drinks, so no refills here. We happened to stop here for dinner a couple of days before Christmas, and what a surprise Santa was here handing out cookies and allowing family pictures. It was a great looking Santa too which made my son's day. read more

If I could do 0 stars I would, was waiting over 5 minutes for a host and no one ever came so we sat ourselves down and no attended us so we got up and went to get a waiter, she came we asked for micheladas and we show her our ids and she takes them and says she has to go show her manager. Took a while so we got up and asked for our ids and left. Terrible customer service!!! read more

We were looking for a place to eat breakfast after visiting the Texas renaissance festival. After a long weekend of camping and drinking I woke up with huevos rancheros on the brain. We chose this restaurant based on reviews. We were not disappointed. Out of a party of 6 people everyone was happy with their food. The service was great and the prices were amazing. They had no problem serving us breakfast at 10:58 when it ends at 11. The huevos rancheros were reminiscent of the summer I spent in Guatemala. The refried beans were the best I've ever had. If I lived anywhere near this place I would eat here several times a week. They could easily double their prices and I would gladly pay it. Our meals were served with chips and salsa, tortillas, potatoes and salsa, and beans. We had huevos rancheros, eggs and pork chops, 2 cups of coffee, and 2 cups of juice for under $20. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more
