Today I ordered from Cinco de Mayo through Uber Eats. I was craving some fish tacos (tilapia); order comes with three tacos, and tilapia is tempura-battered. The combination of toppings is fantastic. They come with pico de gallo, pineapple, radish, Cotija cheese, chipotle dressing, a medium-spicy green salsa, lettuce...which makes them super delicious and gives them a special flavor. The fish looked fresh and was very tasty; tortillas had a good consistency. I asked the restaurant to please put all the toppings on the side so the tortillas wouldn't arrive torn. They followed my instructions perfectly!!! I took advantage of an Uber Eats offer at this location, and it was a great price. Thank you so much to the whole team. Blessings. Keep up the good work. Congratulations! read more

The food was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and timely served plus the atmosphere made the night feel extra festive and memorable. Cinco de Mayo is the perfect spot for lunch, dinner, or parties, always serving great food and creating lasting memories. I'm so grateful we chose this restaurant for such a special day! read more

We are from out of town and thought Mexican food sounded good for dinner. We wanted to eat near our hotel and found this wonderful restaurant! The menu was large with many of our favorites listed. We decided to try the 3 enchilada dinner. You could mix and match fillings as well as sauces! So fun! And the taste! We are from California and have had our share of Mexican food and this was the best we have had! Add to that the awesome service... these people really care that you are there... and the delightful decor, this restaurant is a must visit and often. The next timers are are anywhere near by we will definately be stopping by for a delishous meal!! read more

Wonderful authentic Mexican food. Very fresh and tasty. I have tried many Mexican restaurants and this one is from far, the best. Chicken tacos and fajitas are outstanding and prices are very reasonable. The service is great and the ambiance is warm. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I hate giving such a low rating because this has been my go-to place for Burritos & Taco Salads, however today I had the shrimp tacos and was extremely underwhelmed. They should have just called it The Naked Shrimp Taco" because it was so simplified, there was a generous amount of shrimp inside of 3 soft taco shells, a little spinach on the side to dress the tacos and a small thing of cheese. No tomatoes or lettuce. This was a waste of $13.81 which would have been better spent at QDoba or Chipotle and as much as I hate to say it, even at Taco Bell. Need I say that today's lunch was a huge disappointment. Will I go back to Cinco De Mayo in the future? Maybe, but not anytime soon; somewhere in the distant future, only because I like their Taco Salad with the shell, but I will never waste my money on their tacos again; I work too hard for my money to throw it away like I did today! read more

This place saved me! The manager Angelis was so so kind. She put together a SAME DAY delivery order for two 60 people employee dinners. She provided various options that met our needs, was very clear with her communication, and went above and beyond to make it happen and make it perfect! If you're looking for good service, go here!! Delicious too! read more

Nice spot. We came during lunch time and ordered tacos. Comes with three tacos and guacamole on the side. you can choose different types. I ordered the grilled chicken which needed more seasoning, put guacamole on top which helped. 2nd taco i ordered was the pernil (pork) which was good. Now the third taco i ordered was the carna asada (steak), which was delicious! So flavorful and the steak was perfectly cooked. Small restaurant. Nice decor. Reasonably prices. Meter parking in front. read more

I don't know anything about the ambiance. I did not go to the restaurant. I ordered delivery. The guy who delivered my food was fantastic. He was from the restaurant. He did went above and beyond to make sure I got my food. I got the taco salad which was pretty good. I would probably order it again. It was just a little flat on flavor. There wasn't much spice to the meat but it was okay. And I got a horchata and the horchata was extremely disappointing. Wasn't hardly sweet at all. Way too much cream and there was no cinnamon in it at all. It was not what I would consider or have had in the past is a great horchata read more

This restaurant has the best carnitas. I ordered the lunch special taco salad with carnitas as my protein of choice. The carnitas were crispy on the outside with juicy meat on the inside. It came in a taco bowl with a bed of rice and salad, guac, pico and beans. It also came with a side of chips and salsa. Service was good too. Staff was very friendly. The total came out to $12.74 including tax. Highly recommend it. read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive by, but it was REALLY good! My son ordered the ground beef tacos, and I got tacos al pastor! The place looks great inside, and the decorations and tables go according to a Mexican restaurant. Our server was good, but it was our first time, and I was asking about some recommendations, but nothing was really recommended! But overall was a great experience! read more

delicious food great service. Family owned business authentic food. Staff was really sweet and fast

I'll start by saying we ordered from here on Cinco de Mayo. I would very likely try again when they're not as busy. I found the tacos to be dry. The fish taco had more tortilla than filling. The crema was flavorful so that helped a bit. The enchiladas were supposedly delicious. My brother devoured them! I definitely want to try them next time! My dad's burrito also looked good. Both were nice portions. What made me happiest was that they have horchata! And one of their wonderful employees came out to give us the drink after it was forgotten! read more

My cousinsss make the best food - fresh, tasty, and full of love every single time!!!

MINUS 5 stars! Never processed my order and when I called they said it would take another 40 minutes. NEVER ARRIVED! Kept calling restaurant for 20 minutes and only got a busy signal. Disgusting service. **UPDATE** Someone delivered my food at 9pm that night, 2 1/2 hours later. They rang the bell a crazy amount of times and didn't stop until I came to the door after I asked for it to be left on the steps. When I came to the door she proceeded to pick it up and try to hand it to me No phone call or message there was a delay after the second time they were supposed to bring it. I already had eaten so I had it the next day and it was good, not great. I still won't go back. read more

Ordered take out from here and delivered quite promptly! We ordered the vegetarian burrito and enchilada, along with Tostones (plantains). The portion size was decent but was mildly disappointed by the taste. The burrito was filled will mainly rice and what appeared to be cooked frozen veggies :/ Not as fresh as I'd hope - same goes for the tostones which appeared to be reheated judging by their chewy texture. The veggie enchilada wasn't very impressive either - hardly enough sauce. I had to add my own salsa to most of this to make it overall tasty. I've had better mexican take-out, perhaps dining experience might be better. read more

Great food and great customer service. All chairs are stool chairs whether at the bar or table. Not comfortable for shorter bodies. Other than that, it was great. No frozen margaritas either but other drinks are available. read more

Came here randomly as our car was being repaired at Toyota nearby. Found it on Yelp and decided to check it out. It's a small causal restaurant. The staff is very friendly and nice. They prepared the best Mexican hot chocolate for us. It was ridiculously good! For our meals we ordered enchiladas with red sauce and nachos. The nachos were really good. Good portion of toppings so you don't end up with dry chips. The enchiladas were just okay for me, biut my sister liked them n the rice and beans on the side were really good. read more

Great little Mexican restaurant in Ft. Lee. Food was very good and fresh! I loved that the menu had so many options to choose from! We stared with the empanadas (3 come in an order) and your choice of chicken, beef, or cheese. So we got one of each. Our fave was the beef! For the main course I had the Combo Aztec and my husband had a chicken burrito. Both were delicious. One complaint is that the Combo Aztec says it comes with garlic shrimp and steak, but it actually tasted more like a tomato sauce than garlic. Also the churrasco steak was extremely thin but that was fine for me. Otherwise no complaints! Good food cooked to order. Give them a try. read more

Today my fiancé and I went her for my 33rd birthday. We order from here a lot to go and got to check out the restaurant tonight. It had good catchy music and delicious food. No wait as it was a Monday. We started off with chips and salsa which was tasty and I had a lime Mexican soda which was different and delicious. We then moved on to the chorizo appetizer which is a Favorite of ours and we get every time. Then we moved on to flank steak with cactus that was cooked to taste and seasoned to perfection. I had the cinco de Mayo enchiladas with 3 different sauces which is great because I can never choose just one. Lastly we had fried ice cream which I said I was only going to have one bite but that did not last very long. We will be back again soon! read more

The put sour cream and other sides separate. The shrimp for the tacos was separate as well. Very impressed with the packaging and for listening to have no cheese in the burrito. This is A family owned restaurant that awesome job to me. Definitely order from them again. read more

Super Authentic Mexican food. The birria tacos were amazing. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. A hidden gem. Must try.

Went for Daily Lunch Special Food - 4/5. Chips had a nice crunch to them but were a bit bland. Salsa had fresh vegetables but tasted more like a salad of mixed ingredients rather than a homogenized sauce. Tacos were mixed. Carnitas was tender and juicy, the al pastor had great searing and delicious seasoning on it but the chicken was bland and a little too soft. Guacamole was nice and I really enjoyed the pickled jalapeno; it was a great mix of sour and spicy! Service - 4/5. The staff were friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. Value - 4/5. The lunch prices are nice but a little more expensive than I would expect at $11 for three tacos. I feel local competitors are a little bit on the cheaper side with similar quality.

I've been living in Fort Lee for many years but just tried Cinco De Mayo for the first time 2 weeks ago. First of all, I have to say, the interior decor is a bit underwhelming, there is a huge bar that almost take 1/4 of dining room but since they don't provide alcohol , I wonder if it's better to get rid of the bar so there would be more spacious and could offer more seats ? I tried ceviche, paella and skirt steak, I really like the paella. It is full of seafood ( clams, fish , small squids, shrimps) and tastes very fresh. The portion is very satisfying. I will definitely recommend this dish. I feel they put too much tomato sauce in the Ceviche and it tastes on the sweeter side which I did not particularly like, but it was not bad, I could see some people would enjoy it. I just prefer my ceviche with more lime and taste more citrus flavor. Skirt steak is a bit let down, I would not recommend this dish to you. The complimentary chips and salsa are wonderful, the chips tasted very crispy and fresh, the salsa is light but full of flavor, I really really like it. I can see myself return to this place again whenever I an craving for the Paella. however, I found out the price of some items on their menu are different than the price on their flier and on their website. The price of paella and skirt steak on their flier and on website are listed $17.95 but they are $19.95 on the menu if you dine in, I am not sure if it's they forgot to update the price on the website or they just charged more for customers who dine in. I will check with waiters next time when i return. BYOB, if you forget to bring wine or beer, there is a liquor store very close to it. read more

Food is horrible! Rice taste like ready made microwave rice. The beans were okay ...the chimi changa has grill marks on it...last time I checked chimis are fried! The beef was okay however the cheese was none existent. The teaspoon of guac they give you wasn't bad. My co worker ordered a portable cheese quesadilla ... it was 4 little lonley depressed trinalges on a bed of old lettuce!...stay away from this place! read more

Cinco de mayo is pretty good, i have to say for a hidden hole in the wall it surprised me wirh certain things, but let me down with others. First off, i came here for a private event and i can not say how smoothly everything was. The staff was so organized, for a room close to 40 people that were drunk..they had food and apps out real quick. Speaking of food... The salsa is a must get. Home made chips are a plus in my eyes. Who actually puts in effort like that ? The salsa itself is slightly chunky, and slightly spicy. The guacomole on the other hand was a let down. Very bland in flavor, barely any garlic or cilantro or onion. It just felt off. A little too mushy for me too. The garlic shrimp was good. Shrimp cooked well. I would have loved this over rice, rather than just myself on the plate. But i digged it. My biggest let down was the seafood paella. Basically it was simple yellow rice with seafood. No seasoning or flavor. Not a typical paella. They were generous onnthe seafood, but i feel the white fish they used gave it a off putting fish taste that was over powering. The calamari, clams and mussels, and shrimp were perfect. But wow that flavor sucked. Would i come back , sure ? The service is what really enticed me along with the salsa and shrimp. The place is cute and well decorated. Ps its byob! read more

Decided to try again after some time. Still not so good. The Menu sounds fantastic. The food does not live up to it. So, I decided to the try Barbacoa De Res. Read the description. What it really is shredded beef in a little bit of tomato concoction. No visible garlic, but maybe could taste some powder. Not a hint of cilantro, not even cumin. A wet bland mess. The Paella was Ok and rice and beans are really good, big deal. Lost us for good. read more

Had a sudden craving for Mexican, so I called in for delivery at this local joint that has been around for a few years. Not sure what happened, but basically everything underperformed. Chips were stale and soggy. Guacamole had no flavor and was too mushy because they put diced tomatoes in there. The beef in the enchilada was seriously tough and somehow too sweet. Entire thing was a train wreck, but at least they delivered early and everything was accounted for... The Mexican craving continues~ read more
