    Sopes de camarón
    Jennifer S.

    Hey!! We really liked this little no-frills Mexican/burger/hotdog/fries restaurant!! It's one of those iconic little places that has been around in LA for at least 50 or 60 years. Boyfriend and I finally stopped here today because we wanted a snack and because Tito's Tacos, which is just a stone's throw away, had a giant line which it always does. So we came in here and ordered a mariscos tostada and a couple of tacos; carnitas al pastor. We waited about 10 minutes or so and the food came out hot and fresh. My shrimp tostada was super light and refreshing and I really appreciated the fact that the server had thrown in a bag of obviously homemade chips and an additional pack of Saladitas to soak up all of that delicious flavor of the shrimp, cucumber, onion, tomato and lime!! Likewise, my partner really enjoyed his two tacos; one carnitas and one al pastor. We will definitely be returning, because the menu is extensive and the food and service were very good!!

    Parking: they have a lot right behind the restaurant. Locals: locals eat here! Menu: so many things on the menu! From breakfast burritos to rice and bean plates to cemitas and tortas! Service: super fast. We waited maybe 5-10 min. For a carne asada burrito and 2 hard shell fried beef tacos. They're also super nice! We recently also ordered breakfast burritos to go and they were ready in like 15-20 min. Price: $12-15 per item (it's the west side so set your expectations... but tbh it's worth the price in my opinion. The flavors are there.) So the reason I tried this place out is because I wanted Tito's tacos (next door). I specifically wanted a hard shell fried beef taco. So I decided to try them. They've been here FOREVER as have Tito's. I also grew up in the area and hadn't been in a LONG TIME. It's under new management so I wanted to try it again. Verdict: HONESTLY if Tito's was closed or you're tired of waiting in line at Tito's (this place is open 24 hours) I would go here for my beef taco. The flavor is different but it's close. And their pico salsa is similar to the Tito's salsa taste wise. ITS NOT EXACTLY the same but it's close to me. And I grew up eating Tito's. You also get more bang for your buck here because for $12 you get two hard shell tacos big ones! And rice and beans and salad! This might be my new go to place for fried beef tacos ( tacos dorados). Give it a try and support a local business!

    For decades, Cinco de Mayo is my number one late night stop for Mexican food. The veggie burrito is delish. I prefer no rice and no lettuce. The avocado salsa is slightly spicy but tasty against the saltiness of the shredded cheese. Thank you for staying open late. I always love when we stop at Cinco de Mayo.

    Classic Mexican dive joint, serving up great food with no frills.

    The locals know to come here for great Mexican food. Nothing fancy, no Mariachis, just friendly service and a huge menu to choose from.

    I've been coming here for years. It's one of my favorite restaurants due to the extensive menu and the 24/7 service. It doesn't matter what I'm in the mood for or when I'm in the mood for it, Cinco's has always got me covered.

    Well, I guess I can honestly say that the food is really good there is it the best I can ever have no can't say that. But I can say it is delicious and they do make some good food. The people that work there are very nice and friendly. As For the place itself, it is nice and clean and very comfortable to sit relax and eat.. since this it my first time going there , I tried the taquito plate and a (al Pastore) taco that is really hefty and full of meat . Both were really good they were very tasty. The rice and beans were also very delicious. I like that they spread some cheese on top of the taquitos , it gives it a little something extra... The prices are very reasonable and the food is good. The people are nice. It is now one of my lunch spots during the week. .

    This is a pretty good spot for your late night munchies especially, if you've been drinking. I honestly only come here for the tacos Dorado with ground beef. They are so good the shell is perfectly crunchy and tasty. They load it up with plenty of meat to so all you really need is about 2 tacos.

My buddy…read moreChris had exposed me to El Albajeño, but I never drove up the street to explore around a bit. I usually don't order burritos especially years ago I had ordered a breakfast burrito from a generic lunch truck. I was really hungry and my luck first couple of bites and i bit into something hard...thinking it might be a small stone from the beans...NOT, it was a RUSTED SCREW HEAD. After that incident, just tacos for me, so you can see what's in it. Today I wanted to break from my fear! The SuperMex was so GOOD, I ate the whole thing. Asada was very tasty..I took their recommendation, plus they added freshly chopped Serranos, since the salsa are very mild. This place reminds me SO MUCH of Avila's El Ranchito in Huntington Park

We loved the old-school vibe immediately. We arrived around 4:45 and waited only 5-10 minutes. Then we saw the fresh tortillas being made and thought, "This could be good!" The atmosphere was relaxed, with full table service and great chips and salsa. We ordered a plate of fajitas to share and a shredded beef taco. Funny enough, I thought I was ordering a taco platter, but one lonely taco arrived on a bed of shredduce. Thankfully, it was excellent. A good shredded beef taco is surprisingly hard to find, and this was my favorite part of the meal. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere were all great. I'll definitely return. I found a parking spot behind the restaurant that felt a little sketchy, but it worked. I'll probably look for street parking next time. 4.5 stars

We were a bit put off by the bars on the windows, but once we went inside, the place felt more warm and inviting.. authentic you could call it. The menu is very large and it took us some time to read through it. I'm always looking for good carne asada, so decided on the burrito. I told them to put the rice and beans on the side but they said if you get it without them, you don't get them at all. Uh ok. Too many places use the term carne asada but it's really just beef. Here, it's actually steak, and it's really nicely seasoned and was very good. Spicy salsa comes on the side, as does a few chips and... spicy carrots! I love those and very few places seem to have them anymore, so it was a welcomed surprise. I didn't see them on the menu for sides ... I would have liked to have ordered more. My lovely date had the chicken tostada salad and she said it was good, and was too large to finish, so she took the rest home and had it the next day. It looked fresh. Really frustrated and annoyed at the 2% credit card surcharge. I'm not against passing costs along to customers, but I am against doing it in an ala carte way. Just add .25 to my soda, or .50 to my burrito... build it into your pricing and I won't feel it as much. That kind of stuff really bothers me, so sorry, I'm deducting a star for this. The staff seemed friendly and the place was clean. They have been there since the 1960s, so that's really impressive. I would certainly try the burrito again. There looks like a small lot on the side, but we found a spot on the street right out front.

It was incredibly refreshing and one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. The food was just as impressive. The chicken burrito was hearty and packed with flavor, and the chicken breast with mole truly transported me to Oaxaca. You can tell they take pride in authentic Oaxacan cuisine. What really sets this place apart is their tequila and mezcal selection. Their back bar and menu feature over 300 bottles, making it one of the most impressive agave spirit collections I've ever seen.

I'm from Mexico and when I first moved to the US what I first noticed was that tortillas fall apart here and are bad quality. But at madre you can tell that the tortillas like for the memelas are made in house and are excellent quality with good masa, not just like maizena. The servers are always great, my boyfriend and I love this place. This is where he had chilaquiles for the first time with tasajo and he will eat them elsewhere but nothing compares. The chilaquiles are awesome, better even than many places in Mexico. Good quality ingredients and stuff that you don't find everywhere- huitlacoche, chapulines, etc. When I brought my mom and dad my dad was eating and paused and told me he had forgotten he was in the US for a second and that it felt like home. Love this place a lot and couldn't recommend it more highly. I was reading the reviews from others and it seems clear that this place resonates with people who appreciate the diverse and multi layered tastes of Mexico and who know about the nuances of the cuisine beyond tacos and margaritas. If you want cheap tacos and a margarita this is probably not the vibe. I don't know why people come to a restaurant that has unique and specialized Oaxacan cuisine like the amazing mole and great salsas and hard to find ingredients like huitlacoche and chapulines only to buy like an asada taco and a margarita... lol

When we brought this up, we again felt that our concerns were not taken seriously. To make matters worse, our receipt was given as one combined bill without clearly itemizing the individual charges. We realized afterward that we may have been overcharged. I have called the restaurant multiple times over the past four days trying to get clarification, but no one has gotten back to me. The food itself was not the main issue--the customer service and lack of accountability were. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves both the organization of the service and the way customer concerns are handled.

A nice toasty crunch would make this torta even more fabulous. The asada fries were packed with meat, guacamole, toppings, and fries. It was huge as well. It took 3 people to finish it off. Very delicious! The carnitas tacos were so good! I love that they make fresh corn tortillas and they add pickled red onions on top of a slowly roasted and shredded pork loin.
