Ive really tried to like this place, due to its convenience. That being said... this salty ass, stale carne asada, dirty place will never see my business again. From the flies inside the restaurant, to the horrible staff. Today I went to order a burrito. When I got there, their credit card processing machine was down. Ok... I can appreciate that, and it being out of their control; no problem, I had cash. So, I get my cash out, and go to order and the power goes out. Ok... I can appreciate that also. They say they can't take any orders as their registers a closed, and can't give change. No problem, I offered to round up. I just wanted a damn burrito. I walk out, and PG&E sends a text that power will be out till 1030pm. I walk in to let the manager know, as she's on the line with them to report the outage, and this bitch is taking orders from other customers, but won't take mine. TF never, ever will I ever go back to this place. It's deserving of a call to the health department and being run outta town. read more

Yummy food every time I go! My only issue is that the girls who work at the location on center avenue do not provide that friendly of service. Not very personable at all. read more

Ordered the beef taco salad ($7.75) and really enjoyed it! Generous serving size and fresh ingredients. The carry-out container was well packaged and the item arrived in good shape. Will definitely consider ordering from here again. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Beef taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Martinez, California

We moved a year ago and sadly moved away from the OG Cinco De Mayo on Pacheco Blvd. Then to my burrito loving delight they opened this location. While not walking distance like the other location was, this ones closer to my new house. The Guacamole is made exactly the same. The Crispy Chicken tacos still crispy and seasoned perfectly. We had a little get together one night and ordered food for 8 over the phone. It was ready in 20 minutes. Hot and fresh. My son inhales the Guacamole. He judges all other Guac's to Cinco De Mayo standards. My standard is the Fiesta Chicken Burrito. I eat half for dinner and save half for breakfast. One of my favorite types of breakfasts. Cinco De Mayo is still my #1 Mexican food destination. No matter the location. read more

During a recent post-strike grocery run to Nob Hill, I noticed that Cinco de Mayo had opened up a new Martinez outlet. I've eaten Lunch at the Pacheco location for years and finally had the chance to try out the new location for Dinner tonight (To Go). This Cinco de Mayo is a work in progress, of which I'll be back to taste its progress. The interior decor is a little too suburban sterile and doesn't have that gritty former gasoline station and bustling County/Refinery worker Lunch vibe that I enjoy so much about Pacheco. My service tonight was also a bit tentative, and my burrito was blander than I expected. Yet, it's still good food, with generous portions, and at a good price. read more

Honestly, we initially tried this place because Los Panchos was closed and this is near where my parents live. Oh, and we didn't feel like Kinders. The person who helped us was very friendly and patient while I debated my order. Service and receiving our order were quick. It seems like they have worked out a lot of their kinks from their first couple weeks of business. The chips and guacamole are solid. The chips were nice, crispy and not greasy and the guacamole was chunky with mostly avocado and bits of tomato, onion, etc. A pretty standard guac. I got a bean, cheese and rice burrito which was really good. Los Panchos is still my favorite but Cinco de Mayo's will do just fine. While we waited for our order my honey and I noted how many other menu items sounded delicious. My honey enjoyed his combo with lots of chicken things. They have a nice self-serve salsa bar with mild, medium (verde), and hot plus a few other items for topping your dishes. You can easily fill up for less than $5 and stuff yourself for under $10. read more

Best taqueria I ever try!! The employees are super friendly, the service is always fast and there prices!!! Favorites Crispy tacos, tacos al pastor and the carne aside tostada. read more

This place is ehhh. Honestly, pretty generic tasting mexican food. For the price, and how much I got in terms of volume it was not all that great... I did a take out order, the lady on the phone was super friendly, and when I picked it up the four ladies at the front desk rang me up and all had smiles. This review is mainly about the quality and taste of the food. The salsa bar is a bit small, mild, medium and hot. I got the special taco combination. Came with 3 different soft tacos, carnitas, beef and I belief marinated pork. The meat quality was probably 4/5 stars, I could not taste anything else really. The tortillas were pretty dry on the taco. Came with small serving of rice and beans (which were also pretty dry)... Maybe my expectations were pretty high, but I honestly wanted some authentic mexican food, but this did not satisfy my craving. I should have just gone to chipotle for more volume and better tasting meat for a cheaper price! read more

The best burritos ever I get carnitas super juicy not pink, thank goodness the flavors go so good together I always come here when I'm in need of a good burrito read more

My barometer of greatness of carnitas is perhaps a strange one, but hear me out: do they remind me of a perfectly cooked Thanksgiving turkey? Consider: a slow cook, loaded with flavors only infused by time. Juicy, mouthwateringly melty in your mouth, maybe even a little stringy in the best way. Some crisp on the edges where the heat really did its job. Am I loco? Probably. But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Cinco de Mayo, formerly Chavinda, delivered on my autumnal scale. Their carnitas quesadilla was packed pull of perfectly cooked and seasoned juicy meat, with some good crispy bits to provide awesome texture. Complemented by instead of overwhelmed by the quality cheese, toasty on the outside, and served with perfect amounts of sour cream, guac and pico de gallo for cool fresh contrast. Heaven! I also ordered a crispy chicken taco, to have an impromptu taco-off with Cinco and my beloved Los Panchos. Los Panchos' chicken is a bit more flavorful, but Cinco tops theirs with tomatos and a little guac along with the shredded cheese and lettuce, so it's more well-rounded. I also thought Cinco's taco was ultimately a bit greasier. Still very tasty though! The quesadilla, taco and a bottle of Mexican Coke came out to less than $11 - I dined in and the food seemed to be a little slow coming out compared to other patrons, but there were also a lot of burritos being ordered and I know those come together a lot quicker than my order. Definitely another totally worthy taqueria in Martinez! read more

Just moved to the area and thank god there is such a fabulous Mexican place close by! The food is delicious and the customer service is just as great! read more

They are Quick courteous and their food is very delicious. They now have two locations in Martinez that I know of one looks like a vegetable stand you wouldn't know it's a restaurant on Pacheco Boulevard and the other one is on Center Avenue and it's so small he wouldn't even know it's there.Their food seems very authentic I like the fact that you can get your own salsa they have many kinds to choose from always fresh. So go ahead and try it see if you like it I do. read more

I live nearby and I probably go here like 2-3x a month. I ALWAYS order crispy beef tacos and get chips while I wait. Today, I ordered a dozen crispy tacos to go and the lady that took my order had an attitude. I had to ask her for some chips, she looked at me and took a couple of seconds to respond. While in my previous visits, they would ask me if I wanted chips. Then when my order was ready, i asked another girl if I could have chips to go as well and she was like "i gave her chips already". I ordered a dozen tacos lady. These arent just for me. Like I said, ive been here before and i like their tacos. But that lady just gave me bad customer service. read more

Good food and good service. The people are professional. The shrimp and chicken burritos are yummy.

located in a strip mall across from the local movie theatre, prices are reasonable and the "super burrito" definitely is very large. complementary tortilla chips are a nice touch. I ordered a super burrito with carnitas and it was very good. employees were friendly and efficient EDIT: I came in and ordered a regular burrito and they gave me a fiesta burrito with all the fixings. I brought it to the attention of one of the waitresses and she would not do anything about it, she told me that that's how I ordered it, even though I specifically remember asking for it plain (rice, meat, cheese, beans). This really disappointed me.. she came off as extremely rude. Deducting a star for this experience. read more

I dealt with the dumbest girl at the register today. Beyond the fact she was dumb, she was rude. Could not understand that I did not want meat on a burrito and then proceeded to charge me extra to remove the meat. I wont go back. Speaking of back, out the dumb people in the back where they don't have interaction with the customers. Update: I went to the other location on Pacheco after this incident. Found out the location is owned by the brother. The Pacheco location was super friendly and easy. No extra charge and my order was made just as requested. read more

Just wanted to share a positive party catering experience. Got soft and crunchy tacos, flautas, chips, etc. everything was reasonably priced, it tasted great, and it made my life so much easier at the party! Everything was packaged nicely, ready to go on time! Would recommend for a party or catering! read more

Good local taqueria and good prices. I typically order the super carne asada wet burrito. I have also had the torta and taco salad. All were flavorful and good prices. read more

The food is decent. I ordered a steak burrito with everything. I asked for a bag of chips and when I looked at the bag I couldn't stop laughing I literally could count and they gave me 5 chips. The bag was barely even filled. Cheap on the side of chips ahahaha but the burrito was okay. Staff was nice. read more

Love this place. Every now and then I go and get lunch from here, since I started working a few blocks away from their business and I have never left unsatisfied.. The place is clean which is already a big plus when you walk in. Their burrito is a nice size, filled well and tastes great, there's plenty of options for people to choose from to get it exactly how you like. The wait is never long even though sometimes it gets pretty busy. Overall a good place for a quick bite! read more

Best Mexican food in Martinez!! We ordered take out last week and are already craving Cinco again. We ordered the chips and salsa (SO GOOD, we put the salsa on everything we ordered), three street tacos (carnitas, carne asada and al pastor), a chicken enchilada and a super carnitas burrito (such a good deal for the price, the burritos are huge!). All the meat was cooked perfectly, had a ton of flavor and was very juicy! Already planning in Cinco into our next take-out meal! They also do bring your food out to your car during these times - which is much preferred. read more

I would have to say this is the best place to get a torta! I've had there tacos and taco salad and they are yummy too. I typically get asada and it is pretty good! read more

I've been noticing for the past six months or so, the quality of both staff and food on a decline. I ordered a carne asada burrito two days ago. I always order the same thing( for the past 3 years). It had about 10 small pieces of meat in it and all shoved at one end. This is the SIXTH time this has happened!!! I talked to the "management" and was told "sorry we can't control that". SERIOUSLY!! You make the food right?!? Unfortunately, I will no longer be frequenting this location. I will still go to the Pacheco location. Thankfully, they still produce a quality product. Center Ave location.....it's time to train the group of high school girls you have working there. Please please please teach them the proper etiquette for dealing with and speaking to customers. read more

I stop by at the one on center and got a wet burrito like alway it was so delicious I recommend thief they never disappoint

Trying to support local businesses and I should have known better. Food is okay, the one on Pacheco is better than the one by Nob Hill, portions etc. Budgeted for dinner, looked at menu on line and called to order. When I got there the total was over $10 more than I expected. I asked why and her answer was because two items were super burritos. I told her I didn't order "super" burritos and she replied that I didn't specify so the assumption is for the super. A big assumption on her part I said. The other two meals were substantially more also but she wouldn't address that when I asked. Told her those weren't the prices listed online. She ignored me. Paid, begrudgingly and came home. Checked the menu and there isn't even the option for regular or super burritos. Learned my lesson. Crossing them off my list for future meals. read more

Delicious. I rarely grab Mexican food when I'm away from San Jose as topping the Mexican food in In my town is a pretty tall order. My buddy had a hankering for a burrito. I had the chicken enchiladas which were bomb-tastic the green salsa here is also on point (I smothered it on everything). Next time I'm in Martinez this will be my taqueria spot! read more

The tacos are great. But the guacamole, oh my. I occasionally go there just to buy that. It's worth it.

I didn't try the food at this location, we were upset at the over pricing. I have been going to Cinco De Mayo since it was in the dana plaza by Concord High school in Concord. The Martinez location used to be off Pacheco blvd. I don't know if they still have that one or not. If you want good mexican food for the right price, go to Los Gallos in Concord, Ca. They have three locations, and the one in park n shop has pupusas until 10-11p :) read more

I had high hopes for this place as it is always packed at lunchtime. Totally disappointed. The service was ok. I ordered the Fiesta Burrito with grilled chicken. So, It was cold. It was supposed to have lettuce and tomatoes but good luck finding those. The entire thing was very dry. I ate very little. I still paid for it the entire night!!!!! read more

I have ordered here several nights a week during a kitchen remodel. Food is always consistent and the vegetarian burrito with pinto beans is soooo good. read more

This place is a great quick spot for Mexican food. They are small and usually pretty crowded, so you may have to wait. The food was hot, good, and well priced. I would definitely say stop by and grab a quick bit to eat, you wont be disappointed! read more

Different location same great crispy tacos. Today I went 2 crispy tacos de papas and 1 crispy chicken taco. Chips come complimentary with purchase and salsa bar has the same salsas as the other locations (all good). They bring the food to your table if you eat there, and the customer service is always friendly. All crispy taco shells are made in house and taste great. The potatoes are soft and really make for a great taco. The chicken is lightly seasoned and and delicious. I have yet to try a crispy beef or pork taco because I am stuck on these two. If you are vegetarian or ccarnivore, Cinvo De Mayo has got the goods. I like to throw a dab of tapatio on my tacos with the mild salsa. Food comes out quick after order and the consistency is great. Large parking lot outside, this spot is open til 9pm. read more

Unquestionably the best Mexican in any town, period. I drive here from Danville just to get a taste of Mexican perfection. Many of the patrons are from the motherland, and you what that means; authentic goodness. Go here. read more

My family and I used to eat here weekly... I would say this last year the quality of the food has significantly changed. I ordered a pastor taco salad and couldn't even eat it. The shell tasted horrible and the pastor meat was all fat. I'm bummed. I used to love this place. read more

Close to my house although not the most authentic Mexican food always consistent and very reasonably priced. I love the nachos especially with steak. The enchiladas are good but be careful if you get them to go they have a lot of sauce on them and can be soggy. Service is always fast and very friendly. read more
