Shrimp and mushrooms in a garlic lime sauce. Rice and a gauc salad.
Garnet P.

Excellent service. Was seated immediately. Had water and chips in a few minutes. Both salsas were to my liking. I ordered Camarons al Moho de Ajo. Which is shrimp and mushrooms in their garlic sauce. Loved it. Alo of flavor and well prepared. Had to take half back home. Resturant was very clean and has a nice atmospere. I would recommend this if you like Mexican cuisine.

Went here as it was close. Unfortunately food was sub-par. Fajita meat, peppers & onions were half burnt, you could it when it arrived @ table. Guac & sour cream were atop a pile of lettuce, thus for show; it was used on first tortilla. Tortillas were very thin and stuck together, so they tore trying to separate. Salsa was Ok. Service was good, quick and provided everything.

Carnitas Tacos

Since discovering authentic Mexican cuisine, we find it hard to eat at commercial restaurants but we are learning we can ask for dishes and they will accommodate. Out with family, we decided on Cinco. The restaurant is always clean, the staff are always attentive and ready to seat us. There's never any complaints there for sure. My new favorite carnitas tacos are something I look to try everywhere and unfortunately Cinco let me down. The meat was dry and I had to dip it in our chip salsa to give it flavor. Normally I take it with clinatro , onion and lime but I had to dip them in the salsa. I did order guacamole and it was perfect. Perfect amount of all the ingredients and I honestly could have made a meal out of it. I will definitely try something new next time we end up at Cinco.

Chori Pollo with steamed vegetables...very good!
Kelly G.

Dined here last night with a large party and the experience was great. I arrived late and our server was quick to take my order to ensure it arrived around the same time as my group which was much appreciated. I ordered the Chori Pollo which was served with an enchilada, rice and tortillas. I'm eating low carb so in place of the carbs I opted for steamed vegetables and a sliced avocado instead. Our server didn't bat an eye at my requests and my entree came out perfect in a timely manner. Definitely recommend Cinco De Mayo for good food and service.

Absolutely one of the worst Mexican restaurants I have ever been to and the service it was even worse. Waited 30 minutes for some of the saltiest coldest most disgusting food I've had in a very long time and the servers could not care about the customer and it was not just us but it seemed like every table around us was thoroughly ignored. I overheard a waitress use the puto to another customer, I mean really? They were very abusive to the gringos. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place, unfortunately if you are in monks corner you really don't have many choices but trust me this should not even be on your list.

Came for a late lunch with my brother and had a great meal. Walking in you can tell that they are…read moredefinitely a step up from your standard Mexican restaurant, but it's also a little dated now. It's really just the big glass light sculpture over the bar that reminds me of a Chihuly art. We started with some queso with chorizo and the free chips and salsa. I had a soda and my brother got a margarita. For entrees we had the chicken and shrimp fajitas and the enchiladas. Everything was good, but pretty standard. The reason I mention that is because the bill after tax and tip was over $80 which I had a little sticker shock over. I know they are trying to be a nicer option and food costs have gone up, but that seemed pretty high for what we got. During the meal, our service was excellent... so much so that we noticed and commented on how on point our server was. My brother mentioned that he hoped she didn't screw it up by being nowhere to be found when the meal was done and that's exactly what happened. I think she may have actually left the building because we never saw her again. Eventually we got someone else to get a togo box and get the check. For that kind of money, I expected better.

We love this place! Food is pretty awesome. Not the best Mexican I've ever eaten but I've never had…read morea disappointing meal and actually we've really enjoyed everything we've eaten there. The prices are great and we love the chips and salsa. My boyfriend loved the fries and fajitas meal. I personally love the chile relleno. Only downside is the margaritas. They leave much to be desired and are overpriced, especially for the size. We've always had good service though!

They have a take-out menu or option to dine-in. As soon as we sat down, they brought homemade chips and salsa which I enjoyed but not too much to fill up before the meal. For drinks they are serve margaritas, beers, teas..I tried the agua fresca hibiscus and my fiancé tried the horchata, both delicious! The menu is simple but packs lots of flavors and proteins. I constantly seek out elote so you know I had to order theirs! I like that they roasted the corn, provided a more robust flavor and the cheese topping I could dip anything with that..was about to lick the plate but stopped myself haha my fiancé got 3 variations of tacos, the flavors were good. They brought out some bottles salsa verde and another kind of hot sauce salsa. I liked their options for tamales, I got mole chicken and another kind of chicken..they're more filling than they look so left with our belly's full and spirits lifted. Tierra Caliente will be on our rotation now, wonderful staff and good food.

I am an Uber driver. Ok, so It's all about where I want to eat. Who makes tamales? Right here and…read morewhomever is cooking has got it right.
