We were disappointed with our experience. While our waiter was friendly and polite, the food was just okay, and we felt the menu lacked good options compared with other Mexican restaurants we've visited. What bothered us most was that smoking was allowed on the enclosed back patio. The smoke made the dining experience very unpleasant, especially while trying to eat. Unfortunately, this isn't a restaurant we would choose to visit again. read more

Great service, great food, great prices. Seriously our food came out so fast and they were super nice.

We were referred here from a long time local. The service, the cleanliness, and Food was Fantastic! Our new go to for Mexican cuisine!! read more

WOW! Let me tell you this place is amazing. The 4.0 out of 5 stars is appalling. It should be 5/5. The service was great. Good was delivered fast. Salsa was delicious. I wish I lived in Cookeville so I could come here often. This was our first trip and when we return this way we will stop again! read more

Cinco Amigos is your friendly neighborhood Mexican restaurant. My family went so often when I was a teenager that the staff knew us, and they enjoyed helping me practice my Spanish. Service is super quick, the food tastes good, portions are large (be prepared to take home leftovers), and prices are very reasonable. I'd give Cinco Amigos five stars if they had more healthy menu options. read more

If I can add a 0 star I would. Rude server when I told him my chili relleno was old, and horrible. They pulled it from the back of the fridge and microwaved it or something. It was watery, it smelt fowl, the chili itself was wrinkled like a raisin and the meat inside once cut into was putrid. I wasn't rude: just told the waiter it was old, kept it quiet so I didn't disturb the other guests, he brought me the check, didn't take it off my bill, threw the check folder onto my table all without apologizing or trying to make it right. Which honestly I couldn't eat anything after that anyways, but the rudeness was apparent. When asked to come again by the gentleman at the desk, I laughed and said never, explained why, he was mortified of the situation. I told him it's time to clean the fridge and freezer, he low key agreed it seemed to be so. read more

I've been going to this place since before I have remember! Everything is always fresh, fast, and tastes great!

5 stars? How about a million stars! Service, food, portions, prices, all of it fantastic. Stayed in the area for one night, just traveling through, my family of 5 loved this place. read more

Favorite Friday night spot - the service is always fast and friendly, food is in the table before you can crush the chips and salsa. If your daring you can order a LARGE margarita, may need to bring a DD. Great food - great service with so many choices in town. read more

We just moved here a couple days ago and our property manager recommended this place and it did not disappoint. The margaritas were amazing. All of the food was amazing kids loved it. I loved it my fiancé loved it. We will definitely be back. Also, the prices are very, very good.! read more

I was practically starving after a good hike earlier that day so decided to pop in here. I had the fajitas texanas. It was a mixture of beef strips, chicken strips, shrimps sautéed with onions and green peppers. The meal was good, could have been more seasoned in my opinion. The chips and salsa were fresh, guacamole was fresh and delicious. Now here's the deal breaker. The sides of rice, beans came out on a hotttt plate. If you ever watch the show Kitchen Nightmares with Chef Ramsey, you would know that the only real and valid explanation is that the food was microwaved!! So the rice and beans are not fresh, likely frozen. Onto drinks...the margarita was good. Could taste the alcohol in it so you know your money is worth! read more

I'm giving a five star because our sever was amazing! His name was Aurelio. He was very helpful and extremely nice! The food was good. The beans tasted very watery for some reason.. but the rest was really good! I'm not sure what these tacos were called because I showed him a picture off of Yelp and he knew what they were. Anyways they were amazing! I will say this place is a little more expensive than the average Mexican restaurant but I didn't mind it for the experience. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area again! read more

Highly recommend Cinco Amigos. Their chicken is absolutely delicious! We got the Pollo Enquesado with added fajita veggies. Oh my word was that delicious! We will definitely return if we are ever in this area again! (Good chips, salsa, queso and refried beans as well. And super fast service at lunch) read more

Cinco Amigo has lost my business for life! Rest assured that I will never darken your door steps! The disrespect I received from your employees was unbelievable! A simple request of " Please turn this crap off the tv", ESPN was on the TV with something in my opinion was very disrespectful and borderline racist, turned to an immediate response of your employee telling me "really? REALLY?! I have no right being so rude for my request and I need to ask nicely". After his manager has already told him to go turn it off! To add more insult on top of this, ANOTHER employee said to the other while turning off the tv that "We have the right the refuse service you know". That is it, a simple request to turn off the TV, has turned to your out of control employees losing a loyal customer! There were other words exchanged between myself and said employee that I will not go into details! But if someone can not go into your establishment, enjoy a date with his wife without requesting to turn crap off the TV, then you need to better interview your employees and send them somewhere else to work! As an EMPLOYEE of an establishment, you are a representative of this company and not an outsource for your own self beliefs. No matter how right or wrong a client is, they are always right over you because your sole actions reflect as a whole company! You get in line and do as your told by your managers and no create conflict because you believe you're right over another person! I sure hope this message reaches this establishment and this employee is handled as just! read more

My Dad is from Texas and is happy he has a great Mexican food restaurant close to him. My dad has cancer and does not get out much anymore. These folks are amazing. They delivered him his favorite dinner and wouldn't charge him for it. I can't say how much I appreciate this. It just brings me to tears thinking about people looking out for my Dad. I live far away and don't get to Tennessee often, but I know this warms my heart to know people are looking out for him. Thank you all so much and God bless you read more

I promised my family I wouldn't bring my El Paso Mexican food snobbery to southeast Tennessee and run down their best efforts so I won't. But there some things that must be said. Will someone please explain to these folks that a chile relleno is made with long green ( preferably from Hatch) chiles and not poblanos. Their attempt just doesn't cut it. Stick with tradition, tacos, enchiladas, rice and beans and it's tolerable. In fact, considering the geography, it's pretty decent. My son tells me there is better Tex-Mex in the area. Maybe so, but it sure as hell ain't El Paso. read more

Cinco Amigos - Mexican Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

It was a huge group of us. To be exact, 24. The manager, Christian seemed to be bothered that we filled up his restaurant. His exact words were "I don't know where to start, there's a lot of them. It's ridiculous". He wasn't very inviting. We asked if he can lower the air conditioning considering we were a big group and sitting towards the back of the restaurant. His reply was "I can't do anything about the sun". He was very rude. Aurelio was helping distribute the food and was also very rude. Screaming and rolling his eyes. We asked him to please be patient because there was a lot of us. On the bright side, our waiter Denzel was awesome. He did his best serving 24 of us. He's polite and patient. The food was good. I gave them one star because of the management's poor customer service, rude and unprofessional. The owner should really reconsider who is representing their restaurant. read more

Sorry being a San Diego native, there is nothing better then California Mexican food. The salsa was great, the chips were fresh and the Guacamole was delicious. But my enchiladas were made with white American cheese, the beans had white American cheese on top, and the Chili Rellenos also had white American cheese inside. Yuck! The rice was bland and flavorless. So 3 stars for chips Guacamole and Salsa. Our waiter Giovanni was excellent...... read more

We've been meeting family in Cookeville for years to grab lunch and visit; this spot is a great find! Fresh, delicious food and fast services.

I am a student at TTU, and this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Amazing food, great service for lunch and dinner. I can be in and out for lunch in less than 30 minutes. The bar is super quick, my Dos Equis Amber is always super cold. I recommend the Burrito Pirata! You can't go wrong with this restaurant! Tech discount as well! read more

Cinco Amigos - Burrito Pirata! - Mexican Near Me - Cookeville, Tennessee

Very disappointing. We waited for a very long time to get our meal. Two tables that came in after us were already eating and we had not been served yet. The manager apologized after we complained. He said our meal was given to someone else. When our meal arrived the Grand Burrito was not grand in size nor taste. Average food and the drinks were small. Other than an apology there was no discount given nor any offer for a complimentary dessert. Poor service and average food, I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Our son took us here for the first time this past Saturday. The food was awesome. We have eaten at a lot of Mexican restaurants in the area and this, by far, has been our favorite. read more

Margaritas are expensive, especially for being made from a pre-packaged mix (we've seen the bartender opening the containers). Enchiladas Suizas are tasty, and manage to avoid being "Cookeville Bland", unlike most other Mexican food in town. Like most Mexican places in the area, there is a secret "familia" menu: Ask for chorizo on your tacos and burritos instead of chicken/beef, and give the chicken with mole sauce a whirl. Servers are SUPER nice. read more

This is my favorite mexican restaurant in cookeville. I have been a regular customer for 6+ years. The taste has been consistent for all these years. My favorite dishes are chicken fajita and salmon. read more

We stopped for lunch at Cinco Amigos because of all the positive reviews and we were not disappointed! Service was quick and friendly and the prices were great for a student's budget. The food was also surprisingly good since I am always weary of Mexican food outside of texas. The salsa was spicy (not crazy spicy) and my cheese chille relleno was cheesy! Vegetarians shouldn't have any issues finding food here! Also, it shows the measure of an establishment when the waiter runs up to the light where you're waiting to go to return your credit card. I am super appreciative and glad to not have had to go through a potential panic attack. read more
