poor service, bland food, and a less than ideal environment. would not recommend heading to this o

Tried to call ahead and order Togo ... no one answered so we came in & placed it . No biggy. Got the steak fajitas , supreme nachos & small queso . Queso wasn't good . No taste to it . My boyfriend didn't like the nachos & steak was really chewy and mostly fat pieces for the fajitas. Came with rice & beans ... rice was okay but the beans had a funny taste to them. ( normally love beans & rice from other Mexican spots . ) believe the other reviews... this isn't good Mexican food . read more

It's been a while since I've eaten here. I want this local restaurant to be successful, but they need to work harder to care for the things they have control over. Our table surface was blistered and flaking off. The wall at our booth had food or drink splatter. My husband ate from the buffet and was satisfied with the options. I ordered a taco salad that was supposed to be ground beef with sour cream and guacamole. The bed of the salad was bean soupy. Very little lettuce and no guacamole. The edible salad bowl was perfect - one good thing to report. read more

Great service and the food was amazing and very cheap!! The restaurant was very clean and we were seated right away!

Great food, service is ok. but the food makes up for it. The salsas are amazing. It's a hidden gem for sure

Honestly horrifying. There are no menus online, so in order to order takeout I had to show up there. Then, as a vegetarian, there are usually more options, but this place did not have a ton. I ordered a cheese quesadilla with beans inside of it, and it was OK. My partner ordered the spinach quesadilla. This is where the horrifying part comes in. In the middle of his vegetarian quesadilla was an uncooked chicken wing. Also, we both ended up getting very sick that night, and needing the next day to recover. read more

Great place for a good quick and cheap lunch. Staff is really nice and helpfu as well.

Good local Mexican. Both Fajitas were burned.. still tasted ok but could have been better thus 3 stars. Most all staff spoke Spanish, way better than I do, except for our one waitress. Great chips, Guacamole was chunky and fresh. Beer prices very reasonable as were Margherita's. Side dishes were good. Inexpensive, would eat here again but not Fajitas. Maybe a Tortas next time. Typical of good Mexican, you will not be rushed out, you must ask La Cuenta por favor..... read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner with my boyfriend and we were ready for some margaritas! We were seated right away and restaurant was quiet. There wasn't a drink menu on the table so we asked for one, however our server told us they didn't have one. I thought that was a little strange, no drink menu? So we just ordered a regular margaritas... and they tasted more like sour mix (sad face). I ordered chicken fajitas and they came with rice and beans. They were sizzling and delicious! I think I made four fajitas, so much chicken, peppers and onions. Service was great and quick! read more

Cinco de Mayo - Grilled Steak Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Food was very good. Nachos supreme could have used more a bit more nachos, but had plenty of topping. All dishes were served hot and tasty. We were put on the empty side of the restaurant in an attempt to fill it out which led to our waiter being less available and service a bit spotty. Otherwise can't complain about the variety and quality of their food. Had plenty left over next day for lunch. read more

Such a great meal. The staff was so kind and attentive. Would definitely eat there again. The quest and guacamole are next level.

Taco Tuesday is great for $.75 and the draft beer is tall and cold! They do have a buffet that looked yummy as well!! Sat at the bar for quicker service but they forgot the chips and salsa and the tacos were really small... so I wanted to order more. However, it took too long to reorder so I finished my Modelo and went on my way! read more

Cinco de Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Went here for taco Tuesday since they have $0.75 tacos. The meat quality was high and they did NOT skimp out on the amount the provide for the price. These tacos are on the smaller side but I ate 6 of them and was extremely stuffed (I usually eat enough food for a person and a half). I would highly recommend this place ESPECIALLY for taco Tuesday! read more

So first of all let me say that to be fair this is not a high end restaurant. You have to realize that but I would say with that in mind it did not even live up to others in its class. Food was fair at best. Service was pretty good, not great but good. Food was very bland. I ordered chori pollo which is supposed to be chicken and sausage and cheese and I don't think there was any cheese at all. I most likely will not be back unless I have no choice. read more

Have been here a few times. Usually it's pretty decent food, service was amazing the first visit. The second visit the waitress couldn't stay off her phone to even notice anything. Food was brought out cold and was really off. We decided to give it one more chance since it may have just been an "off" night for them. The cook had no gloves on and was eating right over the prepared dishes he was setting up in the window to send out. Running his hands through his hair and eating and spitting all over people's food. When asked our server to speak to the manager to let him know and also the fact we had hairs all in our food... manager never came by just took $4 off the ticket. Never apologized or anything. Will not be back! read more

Now, THAT'S a burrito!! Good food and quick service. I had enchiladas which were great and he had a burrito the size of his head. We will be back for sure. I didn't get one myself, but saw someone with a margarita. The glass was huge like a fishbowl. Next time! read more

Excellent find! We have been on the hunt for generous reasonably priced Mexican food and we hit the JACKPOT!!!! The hubby and I ordered the shrimp fajitas for two only 19.75 and the amount of shrimp n veggies were INSANE! We also each received our own side plate of deliciously seasoned refried beans; very tasty Spanish rice and lettuce, tomato, sour cream and Guacamole for the fajitas!!!!! Our friends with us had tacos which they loved and our daughter had shredded chicken quesadillas which she said was the best she's had! They start you off with fresh Salsa and warm fresh chips with just a hint of salt! We finished it off with Sopapillas served warm and yummy! Our waitress was attentive stopping by often but too much where it became an interruption to ensure our drinks were filled and any other needs I always after ordering go to the restroom to wash my hands and the bathroom was clean and well appointed. We will put this restaurant in our regular rotation for sure. read more

This was by far the best tacos I have ever had. I have had a lot of Mexican style street tacos but the these by far were the best and they are on special on Tuesdays. Hands down the best pork I have had. The staff was very friendly and checked back on me often. I know where I will be going for tacos when traveling in the Charlotte area. read more

Do not waste your money and and they don't care! I ordered three burritos which are supposed to come with meat, beans, rice, cheese they came out as kids burrito size with only meat in it. I had to send it back. They barely put on the beans and rice, and then when she came back out with them out, she just didn't even care, I spent $55 I added a tip and my family still going be hungry after this. Do not waste your money. read more

We all enjoyed our meals. Great portions, delicious flavors, and friendly service. The margarita tower topped it off for our group. We'd definitely come back. read more

Omg! This is one of my favourite Mexican restaurants in Charlottee. Their position side is HUGE and it is all fresh made and super delicious. Me and my girlfriend went there last week and I took almost half of my meal home. And it is not because I barely eat, it is because my plate was filled with food. Love it all the way! read more

Food is always great! Very good prices, the service is always great as well. I am pregnant and I crave this place every week.

Too many things to say the food wasn't that hot too greasy. Not that many choices to be a buffet. To top iit they charged for a two year old that is unseen in many restaurants read more

Visited NC from NYC and I stopped at this place TWICE! Both times were excellent. I didn't get pics of everything but I will share my opinion on why I gave it only four stars. The waitresses on both nights were very warm and welcoming. They held conversations and made us feel welcomed. On the first night I ordered a margarita, the (Texanos?) nachos, and a steak burrito. The margarita barely had alcohol in it. It was mostly syrup and ice. Way too sweet and not worth the money. The steak burrito was huge! 14 inches! Quite delicious with all of the fixins. The nachos were amazing. You get shrimp chicken and steak with tons of peppers and onions over queso. I've visited a million and one Mexican restaurants in NYC but Cinco in Concord has the best nachos hands down! On the second night I ordered the nachos again, but with soup on the side. The shrimp soup was very fresh and tasty with a lot of shrimp. I feel like most people won't order soup from a Mexican restaurant, but don't knock it until you try it! Overall this place is nice, very homely and welcoming. Anytime I visit concord I will be at Cinco de Mayo's!!! read more

Cinco de Mayo - Super Nachos - Mexican Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

It pains me to say this because for years we have eaten here at least once a week, but this place has really gone down hill. Not sure if it's under new ownership or management, but something has changed the last month. All of our favorite staff have left and now all new people have taken over and the service has gone way down hill. Yesterday we watched 2 tables get up and leave before getting their food because it was taking too long. We were given a quarter full basket of chips and then upon getting a refill (another quarter basket) told they are almost out of chips so this will be it. Food still tastes okay, but we have decided to search for a new favorite Mexican restaurant as we see the restaurant continuing to decline every time we go in. So sad to see our favorite Saturday lunch spot turn bad. read more

We were in town looking for some good Mexican food and based on recent reviews thought we'd try Cinco de Mayo. We were not disappointed at all and would certainly recommend it. We had a combination plate, the Chori Pollo and also the Cinco de Mayo fajita's. Winner of those 3 were the fajitas but the others were top notch as well. Friendly service, didn't feel rushed and would definitely recommend trying it out if you are in the area! read more

The Tuesday tacos look like a kid size. The service is bland, don't expect a big greeting or a goodbye. The waiter just dropped off the food and went along with his day. The food is cheap that's a plus, but they can work on customer service. read more

Cinco de Mayo - Steak & chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

This is fast becoming one of my favorite tex-mex restaurants in this area. Being a native Charlottean I think I've eaten at about all of them at one time or another. This particular restaurant has a buffet but I'm not real crazy about it. Where this place shines is ordering off the menu. I've bounced around all over it and have yet to have a bad meal. As an example, I had their version of pollo con crema, which is one of my tex-mex favs, over the weekend and it was outstanding! They do it a little different than most by grilling the chicken first and then applying the cream sauce. They also use poblano peppers instead of bell pepper which gives it a much better flavor! Something else I noticed about this place, they actually put tequila in their margaritas. Most places just wave the bottle over it! Yummee! read more

My husband and I stopped here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. A few others were in there but we got seated right away. Our waiter was super friendly and the chips and salsa are probably the best i've had since moving to Charlotte! The food came quick and was so delicious. We just moved from Arizona a few months ago and we've been trying to find a good mexican restaurant and this one is by far the best we've tried since moving out here! 10/10 would definitely recommend! It was clean, tasty, staff was nice, and it wasn't very pricey! Also, get the fried ice cream lol. Totally worth it. read more

I thought I'd update this review since it's been three years and we have been repeat customers over the years! I'm pretty sure management or ownership has changed within this time because we have noticed differences. A lot of the familiar face servers are gone, and there's a ton of new faces. We are still huge fans of the fajitas, and that's what we get when we visit here. The price for fajitas for two is still $18, three years later, and tasty. Lately they have been even fresher tasting and enjoyable! The charro beans are absolutely delicious! We get those instead of refried every time. You won't be disappointed if you want to try something different! They have HUGE beers...woah. My husband got a 32oz Dos Equis Amber for $6.50 and couldn't finish it. Yum! read more

A nice tucked away gem. The staff is nice and attentive. The food comes out fresh and hot. The food is cook to order so there is no issue with tailoring it to your liking. The portions are ample. I had the mixed fajita with steak and chicken. The chicken was moist. The steak was tender. Everything was well seasoned. It came with rice, beans and salad plus tortillas (corn or flour). The complimentary chips and salsa are also tasty. The chips are thin and warm just the way I like them. read more

No complaints with the food or service here. The pile of veggies I got with the veg fajitas borderlined ridiculous, but they were so fresh and tasty I somehow managed to eat the entire skillet. Husband's tilapia/scallops/shrimp dish wasn't as healthy as he hoped. The bacon and butter sauce wasn't listed in the description. Regardless of the calories, the flavor and preparation were great. The scallops were tiny, but there was a lot of seafood on the plate for $12. The service was significantly above average. We never went without drinks and special requests were accommodated quickly. read more

Found a new-to-us Mexican spot in Concord and loved it! They have about 10 different fajita variations and that makes me happy. Like super duper fajita happy. I had the Fajita Mexicana with beef, chorizo sausage, jalapeños, dried chili peppers, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion. My better half had the pork carnitas and it was equally delicious with what looked and tasted like pork three ways. The service was prompt and with a smile. We'll definitely come back! read more

We were staying at GWL and hoping for a quick dinner with our kids before going back to the slides (which didn't happen). The service was very slow. We didn't get silverware until several minutes after the food had arrived. The cheese dips took over 15 minutes even though we ordered them with drinks. There was something black in my margarita. The food was subpar.....my daughter didn't even eat her taco. When we went to pay they didn't give us an itemized receipt and we noticed the bill was $106 for two adults (only one adult meal) and four children and questioned it. We asked for a full receipt and noticed they added a 20% gratuity to a party of 6 (4 kids) without telling us. They also charged $2.25 for shredded cheese for fajitas that never came. After asking to refund the payment they acted upset and said they couldn't refund my money. They wouldn't speak English to me so I have no idea what they were saying. After spending close to 20 mins, on this I finally gave up and told them to keep it and never mind. Very bad business. We will never go back and suggest you don't either. read more

I had such high hopes entering, noting the staff was Hispanic as well as several diners. That did not last very long. While the service was good - not great - but good, the kitchen killed the vibe. My Fajita Taco Salad was just sad. The steak was tough, the quac was faded and somehow they managed to get a nice soupy layer in the bottom of a DRY salad. Even the shell was semi crisp - like it had been stored near boiling water. Lastly, the margarita had a LOT of mix & a LITTLE bit of tequila & was way too sweet. How this place has gotten such high ratings is a total mystery. Wont go back. Ever. read more

Not the best Mexican food in the area (and certainly not super "authentic" Mexican but also not the worst, and Cinco de Mayo is very cheap. There is a lunch buffet everyday from 11-2:30 or 3 that only costs $9.50 and all of the entrees are super cheap as well. The service isn't bad but nothing spectacular either. Basically Cinco de Mayo is your average Mexican restaurant, nothing more and nothing less. The lunch buffet has some meat entrees: fajita beef, chorizo pork with onions, pork ribs, and some chicken con queso. They were all forgettable except the corizo which was very good. They have beef and chicken enchiladas, chicken taquitos, cheese quesadillas (very cheesy and very good), chicken nuggets, fries, and ground beef & chicken along with soft and hard shells to make your own tacos. Everything was average quality with nothing that really stood out. The rice and beans were not very good at all either- and it's not just the buffet quality, my girlfriend ordered the chimichanga which was okay but her rice and beans were also really mediocre. If you're in the area and need a Mexican fix for cheap, this is better than Taco Bell, or if you really want to chow down the buffet is all decent quality stuff and super cheap as well. If you want really good or authentic Mexican food though, I would venture out to other places in Concord/Charlotte to get your fix. read more
