Tacos! Yeah.. we have been here several times and the tacos (Mexican style) are the best things in the menu. Their rice and beans are top notch at Cinco de Mayo! You usually find one or the other good at most Mexican restaurants but I love them both here! read more

Food was AMAZING! We all had great meals. Awesome service and we loved the atmosphere - colorful and festive! No two chairs alike - they're just gorgeous. Excellent chips (they come out nice and warm!) and loved the salsa! read more

We stopped here on our way to Madison from MN and we were not disappointed! My husband and I both had chimichangas. Beef for me, vegetarian for him. Everything was well-prepared with generous portions and quality ingredients. The staff were all very nice and the decor was vibrant and pleasing. They were even offering free margaritas for Mother's Day tomorrow. We will definitely be back! read more

Walking in, I was excited this place may actually be one of the decent restaurants in BRF. The decor is festive & authentic, and clearly a lot of effort was put into it. After being seated, chips & salsa were served immediately and they were delicious. Unfortunately the positive review ends there. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas next. The pitcher came with a bunch of lemons in it, NO ICE, nor was their ice in the warm glasses brought with it. Yum. Our entrees came and we immediately tasted that the cheese they used in both our dishes was mozzarella, and the red enchilada sauce may as well have been marinara. I'll tell ya one thing as someone visiting from way (way) out of town, this place was exactly what I'd expect a Mexican restaurant in BRF to be like. Catering to gringos who've never had actual Mexican food and think white bread is spicy. For that, I can't blame em, and therefore 2 stars. read more

Food was just OK. The service was horrible and there was barely anyone in the restaraunt. It took someone forever to come to our table. We ordered drinks and I ordered queso. The server brought the queso out and we still had no chips and salsa. We went to the counter to pay our bill; we stood there and stood there. I noticed there was a waitress sitting cleaning menus in a booth right next to us. I asked her if she could ring us out, she said, "after I finish this." We were baffled and would NEVER go back! read more

The food was good but they didn't seem to know about vegetarian food. I got charged $2.89 for a small serving of onions. Ridiculous. And the service was very mediocre and not very friendly. Will not be going back. read more

They are so nice! I wish they had more salsa options but otherwise really yummy! They are so nice! I wish they had more salsa options but otherwise really yummy! read more

Solid Mexican food, good flavor, good portion size, not expensive. Service was quick and friendly. Decor is beautiful.

Good place overall with great veggie fajitas. The fajitas were made fresh, not oily, and cooked well. It has a good array of vegetables and we both liked it. We got flour instead of corn torillas as ordered, but it worked out all right. Service was also good: prompt and friendly. We've been there only once while passing through the area, but we would go back. read more

Definitely would recommend for out of town-ers. I went there with 4 other people and it was a very last minute choice, but still impressed us. Nice portions and quite a lot of options- including alcoholic beverages. Place is really nice inside with lots of seating and it's relatively fast- plates literally come out hot, and staff are very nice. Overall would definitely recommend this spot! read more

Great meal on a Friday night. I had 3 tacos Mexican style... pastor and asada.. very good. Staff is nice. Beer was cold.

First time going to this place and the food was excellent. I would have given it 5 stars, but they only gave me 3 tortillas with the fajita and when I ask for additional they charged me for them. They also forgot to bring us the guacamole. Again the food was excellent and I would recommend this place. read more

There were no other customers in the restaurant when we walked in, and the waiter sat and stared at us for a good 2 minutes before coming up to seat us. We ordered ordered chips with queso and guacamole and they didn't give us any chips for the guacamole so we had to go up and ask someone if we could get some chips. The server did not like that we asked for some chips. All the employees were just sitting around and the service was horrible. read more

In town for work read decent reviews. Americanized food, very bland. Salsa basically tomato sauce. Margarita was horrible

I love their horchata. The decor is so colorful and unique. The portions are huge. Definitely worth your money.

The food was pretty mid but it awokend my cousin Ana's tastebuds. My cousin Ana wich is also known as Wisconsin most famous cheese critic was non stop yapping about how good the place was and she heavily enjoyed her Al pastor . The one and only small problem was the y gave me beans that I asked to be put miles away from my plate were thrown right on. The music was honesty fire and I started salsa dancing with one of the employees because how chill they are. Omg I would totally reccomend this place if your driving by. This will definitely keep my stomach full for the rest of this boring car ride with my cousins that heavily irritate me. But thank you Cinco de Mayo I might come back on the 5th of many for cinco de mayo but I'll also stay another day so I can celebrate my great savior sveti Djordje slava inside. Go here 1000% read more

Do not buy their gift certificates...they put a one time use stamp on them so you do not get change back. We had a 50 dollar gift certificate from friends and our bill was 39 dollars. They refused to give us the 11 dollars back or mark the gift card as partially used. They said the only thing we could do was order something more to go. The manager claimed to call the owner who supposedly lived upstairs, but, she refused to come talk to us. Not going back. Beware of this business. They are stealing the balances of people's gift cards. read more

Solid Mexican food, good service, great portions and beer. One of the few places in town other than Tavern food. The wife and I eat there requlary. read more

They have an excellent and diverse menu. Food is prepared well and staff is friendly. This is a small town Mexican restaurant that would do very well in a large market. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food and good service. All of the staff members are hardworking and have a wonderful attitude read more

Cinco de Mayo - Damn that is a very good place to go get some food - Mexican Near Me - Black River Falls, Wisconsin

I stopped in earlier this evening, staying nearby during a cross-country drive. The place was warm and inviting, brightly decorated with countless iconic Mexican images carved into the furniture. I ordered the Enchilada Verde: a fine and flavorful dish with all of the usual trimmings, complemented by a mango Jarrito. Terrific. read more

Food is always great, drinks are amazing, staff is always polite and welcoming, it's always clean and colorful and inviting inside and out.

Love the decor and the food was fantastic. I had the burrito loco (steak & onions, covered in cheese and salad). My son had the California burrito with shredded beef. My daughter had ground beef nachos. My husband had burrito as well. All were delicious! Serve was friendly and accommodating. read more

High sounding reviewers from elite Mexican outposts may think that the food here is not authentic, but with the diaspora of Mexicans all around the U.S., there are mom and pop places opening in every nook and cranny and each has as much claim to authenticity as does any other restaurant run by a Mexican family. Black River Falls is lucky to have such a place. My wife and I had tamales and enchiladas and we've eaten them all around Mexico and Texas for 23 years. We were happy to have found Cinco de Mayo and wish it well in BRF. read more

service was bad. we walked in and everyone just stared at us for about a minute before we got sat. completely empty super quiet. server was so quiet, mumbling, couldn't hear him seemed like he hated his life. then the server got an attitude when we had to walk up and ask for more chips because nobody was checking on us and then got mad and asked where we were sitting- we were the only people in there. every employee sitting on their phones not hard working, not polite, terrible service. drink good tho read more

I had lunch here at 12:30. On the lunch menu, the had "Fajita Taco Salad" for $8.99. So I ordered "Fajita Taco Salad". It was delicious. However when the bill arrived, I was charged for the dinner "Fajita Taco Salad" for $12.99. I didn't even see this item listed on the menu because I only looked at the lunch menu. I asked the server why my meal was not $8.99 and she said that she rang it in for the dinner price. I explained that it is lunch - I ordered off the lunch menu - I had no idea there was dinner item with the same name - and the server never asked me if I wanted the lunch or dinner "Fajita Taco Salad". The server and manager both REFUSED to give me the lunch price! Very poor service that I had to pay for THEIR mistake by not asking me if I wanted the lunch salad or the dinner one (that I didn't even know existed)! I will never return. And for the first time ever, I did not tip a server. read more

Nice little place I found on accident while staying at the Ho-Chunk, great service at the bar, was pleasantly surprised by the California burrito, the cheese sauce on it was delicious and burrito's are good sized!! Came back a year later and still great! read more

Food is always good! So are the Margaritas!! Menu is extensive which makes it hard to decide, but I haven't been disappointed yet. Service is always fast. Establishment is clean, very colorful and the furniture is just plain fun! I would highly recommend. Prices reasonable too. read more

Went there for lunch during our summer road trip. The place is very well decorated. We were welcomed by friendly staff. Lots of vegetarian options. They have nice kids menu options as well. Portions are generous. Washrooms are clean. Will certainly go back on our next road trip! read more

I love the way it is decorated in here! My mom and I stopped here for dinner and both got different enchalada dinners. The food was so good!! read more

It's been a long time since I've visited Cinco de Mayo. I have to say I was disappointed in my dinner. I ordered the Chile Verde. It was very salty (as pork is salty already) and the pork had a lot of fat on it. I understand the fat is was gives any meat its flavor but this meat had too much fat on. I am hoping this was a one time experience as Cinco de Mayo is the only Mexican Restaurant in this area. Chips and salsa are good tho. read more

This is excellent Mexican food. My husband had the shrimp casadilla and I had the chicken taco salad. We loved them both. The service was good and the chips and salsa excellent. We will be back! read more

Authentic Mexican cuisine. Fresh, unique dishes, delish drinks. Worth the trip, fun atmosphere. Nice staff. Fast service for sit down dining. read more

Delicious food! Wait staff vary on a spectrum of good, nice, and not so good, and not so nice depending on who you get to serve you there. It's always changing. We had a problem with being over charged for a tip amount we did not agree upon and they fixed it the next day. read more

This is not authentic Mexican food. The steak is dry and the salsas are like tomato sauce. I admit, I'm from Chicago and expect some amount of authenticity. If you love Mexican food, you will not enjoy this place. Sorry, really wanted to say something positive. Not today... read more

This is not Mexican food, but fast food Mexican food. Drinks are made from cheap ingredients. Service is slow. Watch out for your final bill: could be higher that you expected. read more

Wow, where do I begin? First ill say I didn't have high expectations for authentic mexican in black river falls but what I encountered turned out to be far worse than I imagined. I had a margarita that tasted like syrup on the rocks. After waiting for about forty minutes I got my burrito if you can call it that. It was a soggy tortilla filled with ground beef completely devoid of the most basic seasoning......that's it. Maybe their interpretation of a burrito is just ground beef but this was the first time I've seen it and hope it's the last. To be fair this happened about two months ago but the experience was so unpleasant I just had to share it. read more

Honestly, I was so pleasantly surprised by this place. I'm from out of town and came here for lunch, and ordered a stuffed shrimp salad. It's unbelievable. Best experience locally so far. read more

Cinco de Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Black River Falls, Wisconsin

I've never had a bad meal here, and I can't say the same for the majority of the other restaurants in the area. I usually get fajitas or quesadillas. The portions are big and you always have food to take home for another meal. I've taken family and friends here and they've always enjoyed the food too. We lived in La Crosse previously and this is just as good and usually better than the Mexican restaurants in La Crosse. The staff is always nice. I only have positive things to say about this place. read more

We love the place. The salsa is made fresh every day, the portions are huge. Margaritas were delicious. Fun and great place to have friends and family. read more
