Their tacos are top notch obsessed with them. I always am greeted with a friendly smile and respectful workers.

Good Mexican place. Not tex mex. Place is dated but still worth stopping in and taking a try

Good food better service.. portions could be a little more but definitely the most authentic Mexican food I've had in the area!

The breakfasts are great. The wait-staff are very friendly. It is authentic Mexican. All my Mexican friends say this is a really good Mexican restaurant. Nice beer selections -- Negro Modelo! read more

I love the food and the down home atmosphere. My favorite is the beef soup, but I've never had anything I didn't like. Check it out!

Good is authentic but not very flavorful. Building is run down and was extremely warm when we ate here. Lots on the menu to choose from, almost too much! Service is average at best. read more

This restaurant is nice. Service is respectful, efficient, and prompt. Food is fabulous. Love Cinco de Mayo. read more

The Mexican burger and fries are delicious. They give you a nice amount for the price you pay.

Authentic Mexican food at a fair price and you can have an ice cold beer with it. The food is great and the service is friendly. We are still trying different selections from the menu, but so far, nothing has been anything less than great. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night. Live in the area and had seen good reviews so we decided to give them a go. Ordered Quesadillas with chicken. This is not Tex Mex food. Way to much cheese and little chicken. Cheese was more like mozzarella. Table tops were clean but the floors were filthy. Food, napkins and other trash on the floor under the adjoining tables. Service staff was good, but I wonder if the kitchen is in the same condition as the floor. read more

I absolutely love this place! Very authentic Mexican food. We order the breakfast burritos almost every weekend they are so good. Lots to choose from on the lunch or dinner menu and everything I have tried was delicious. Also the service is always great! Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Best Mexican food in the east Texas area. I go there at least once a week. They even have a drive-thru.

The Chimichanga was the best I have ever eaten. Chips were hot and fresh, they offered warm and cold salsa. The prices were very reasonable. We will be back. read more

I hate that the best Mexican food restaurant in Lindale has gone to crap with the "new management" or new ownership or whatever they call it. Ever since it's been changed the quality of the food has paid the price. No actually I've paid the price and for food that I would not serve to anyone. I know for myself I won't eat it and I hate that it's come to this bcuz I have given it 5 tries and each time it gets worse. Today was the last time I will eat there or the to-go. Sorry to say that bcuz it WAS the best ever before!!! I loved the restaurant, the to-go, the food was always great. But today was the worst ever and won't return. Sad. read more

Not handicapped accessible Food was not great, dark dingy Food is Meh at best. read more

Food was filling , hot and spicey . Customer service was great. My kid fell in love with the waitress and she was really nice. We [family of 6] had some extra to take home. We'll be coming back again and again. read more

Finally some good Mexican food in Lindale! So far I've liked everything I've tried. They have a really big menu that shows pictures of what you're getting and their prices are really reasonable. The staff is always friendly and smiling which makes it an even more enjoyable experience. Right now you can get 3 breakfast tacos for $1.99. You can't beat that. My family will definitely be returning! read more

The waitress was sweet and attentive. My wife got a shrimp and fish meal with fries, which I thought was really good. The fries were somewhat standard, but the fried fish and shrimp were great. The torta that I got had fajita meat which was somewhat dry and rubbery, which was my only real complaint. That and the rice in her meal was quite bland. But, at the end of the day, we got a torta, one soda, and fish and shrimp entree (plus chips and dip) for around $18 with tax, so that was a fair price to pay, IMO. Coming from Houston, the torta wasn't the best I ever had, but for the price it was good enough. read more

This is by far such an amazing restaraunt, you've got Posados a block away, goes to show some people don't know real Mexican food!!! The menu has an infinite amount of choices to choose from which makes it so difficult to decide!!! This is where the locals go!!!!! Homemade delicious authentic Mexican food!!!! read more

Cinco De Mayo - Cheese enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Lindale, Texas

Food is fantastic . The only issue is they leave you hanging on the phone to listen to them converse and laugh when you call to place an order, yet they want you to call ahead of time to place your order. The guy that is usually there is a lot more attentive and friendlier , but hasn't been there as much. Wish he was there all the time. read more

This place is fantastic. The staff are super friendly and the food is always great. We're new to the area ( moved here from San Antonio) and really needed a good place to get Mexican food and THIS IS IT!! You have to try the Migas. read more

Let me say this, when we travel we always try to find small local hole in a walk places. Well Cinco De Mayo cafe one of those places. Good food, inexpensive and good service! read more

Food is great and very inexpensive. Staff is friendly- great for eat in or take out! Huge menu selection .

Horrible customer service. Our server was rude, her greeting was literally "drinks?" A different waitress came to refill our chips and virtually threw them at us. The food smelled rancid, tasted rancid. I was SO excited to come here because all of my friends recommended it and I was appalled. As a server myself, I consider this one of the worst places, if not the worst place I have ever been to. I have never been treated worse by a staff in my life and I will never be coming back. Also, I hope this review reaches the people that want to visit here because I want them to know that this place is just genuinely horrible. To reiterate, the food is terrible, the service is just plain rude, the only decent thing about this place is the prices, but with how terrible the food is, I wouldn't even pay a cent for it. read more

This is a hole in the wall place with good food! The establishment is very old. Although not much has been done to keep it up, it is clean. I don't think there was a vinyl chair that did not have a rip on it. The decor was very indicative of a Mexican culture. Lots of color and decoration. The service was good. Not overly friendly, but took care of us The food was typical Tex Mex which is what we like. I had the taco plate. It came with three tacos, rice and beans. I chose two ground beef tacos, one chicken and the refried beans. The tacos came with shredded cheddar cheese on the tacos, sitting on a bed of lettuce and tomatoes. The chicken was very good! Wonderful flavor. The ground beef was good but I thought it was a bit salty. Both the beef and the chicken had some grease but not too bad. The rice and beans were typical Tex Mex. My husband had the chicken burrito with quest sauce. It was large! The loved it and the cheese sauce was very good. He opted for the charro beans and he said they were some of the best he has eaten. As long as you are not looking for something unique or fancy, I would recommend Cinco De Mayo for some good Tex Mex. read more

Giving only my second 5 Star rating! My wife and I were heading back to Alba, TX from Tyler this evening when I saw this small Mexican restaurant on Hwy. 69 south of Downtown Linden, TX. We decided to stop even though The Catch and WingStop were across the highway. I am so glad we did!! Let's start off with up to 2 free Margaritas on Weds when you purchase a entree of $6.99!! How can you beat that!! The drink was a perfect blend of mix and Tequila. Only drawback was it was served in a plastic mug. Needed to be in a glass mug to help keep drink cold. There were two types of Salsa served. One was more tomatoey, served warm with a spicy finish (I preferred this one) while the other was more smoky with a vinegar aftertaste. The chips were crunchy and very tasty. I ordered the Camaron Diablo with Chipotle Sauce. It was served with rice (very moist and tasty), French Fries (crunchy outside and soft inside), a salad with Avocado slices and at least 12 medium size Shrimp cooked perfectly with Green Bell Peppers and Onions smothered in a mildly spicy Chipotle Sauce served with an order of either corn or flour tortillas. Absolutely fantastic!! It was "The Best" Mexican Food dish I have had since my trip to Tulum Mexico!! This includes several "Exclusive" Mexican Restaurants in Houston, Dallas And Fort Worth!! My wife order the Fajita Beef Bowl. It was basically Beef Fajita with onion and green pepper served over rice smothered with Queso Blanco cheese. I tried a bite and it was also very, very good!! I will definitely order that next time we stop and we will be back! read more

The food is very good and very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is that of a small neighborhood restaurant, lots of locals. I had a nice time. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Lindale, Texas

I chose this place because it had the highest rating of any Mexican joint in Lindale. After eating here, i was not that impressed. I got the mixed grill fajitas, which are NOT just chicken/beef, but also shrimp and hot dog (??) too. The meat & vegetables were very greasy. Normally i like a sizzling fajita plate, but this sizzled & popped and spattered grease all over the table for 5 minutes. The salsa tasted like vegetable soup, the beans were flavorless, and you only got 3 or 4 small tortillas. Considering Petty's got such a high rating as well, I am beginning to wonder if Lindale people know a good restaurant when they see one. read more

Enjoyed immensely. Super busy on Sundays. But that's probably a good thing. Favorite was probably the taquito. Only complaint was too much cilantro in the guacamole. And that's a personal preference. Coming back Wednesday for free margaritas. read more

I haven't had anything on the menu that was good. I love traditional Mexican food but this is gag worthy. Went with friends a couple of times and did my best to look like I was not making myself sick. I will not be going back. read more

Excellent fajita nachos and super burritos! Great service and wonderful call in order process.

We picked this restaurant because I thought it sounded more like a family owned business. SO glad we did. Great service, great food and the margaritas are GREAT!! Fajitas with cheese were wonderful snd the service was great!! read more

Never a disappointment. Great portions, for great prices. Free chips and salsa with large enough purchase. I love the drive through option, it is a game changer!! Horchata is delicious, the chicken fajita chimichanga is a winner. One of the few good eats left in Lindale. read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews but this was such a bad experience all the way around it would be negligent not to. Th waitress was not attentive at all, we had to get up and go find someone more than once to give us chips, silverware, food that we had ordered but hadn't been brought to the table. The food was terrible and expensive. There were 3 of us and two of us split a meal and it was still 38.00 before we got out of there. The booth we sat in literally had chunks of the vinyl out of it and to top it all off two of us ended up sick from our meal. read more

The best Mexican food in Lindale. The tacos and queso blanco are delicious. I've never had bad food and I am a regular.

Waitress was unfriendly bordering on rude. When ask for chips told a basket on the table cost extra, almost $3. Tacos good.

I ordered cheese relleno,cheese enchilada and charro beans. The relleno was one of the best I've ever had and beans and enchiladas were delicious. Tea was fresh and tasty. I will be returning! read more

Went there for lunch today and it was disgusting! They double charged me because I shared my meal with my child! The staff is uncaring.

What you hope all Mexican food restaurants would be. Chips were hot and fresh and food was fantastic. I had the Chile Renallo and my wife had an enchilada plate. Great prices too. Would definitely come back again during our trips to Shreveport. read more

Third time eating here and ended up with stomach issues ... I'm sure if the health department looked into it they would find poor temperatures and/or cross contamination. The food is actually good but it's not worth getting sick ... read more
