Tacos al pastor
Emilio M.

Great service, food and atmosphere under two roofs (if you count the covered patio a roof)! It's my local "go to" place when dad needs a margarita and or a perfectly prepared fish taco. Cinco offers a bustling vibrant atmosphere that can be a bit loud sometimes, but that's only due to everyone having a good time. No bad vibes in here! My top recommendations are: Fish tacos. I prefer them grilled. Enchiladas in mole negro. Perfect. Tacos de asada al carbon. Vegetarian options available too. Great selection of beers and cocktails are available and of course brought to your table by a friendly knowledgeable server. If you're in town and close by...do stop in...relax and let Cinco take care of your hunger and thirsty needs. Cheers! P.S. I'd also start off with the chips, salsa and guacamole before the main course. Trust me!

Chicken Tacos de Pollo Asado (2pcs) & Chips, Guacamole y Salsa
Ashley L.

Food was fresh and fantastic. I ordered the chicken tacos and the side of salsa, guacamole, and chips. It was all very fresh and delicious. Clean and modern inside. However, there is only street parking in front or a very small parking area on the back side of the building.

Salsa and chips

Cinco is a true hidden gem just moments from Loyola Marymount University in Westchester, Los Angeles. Recommended by our daughter, I was instantly captivated by how incredibly delicious the food was--every dish we tried was perfect. The friendly, attentive service made our experience even more enjoyable. With its lively sports-bar atmosphere, Cinco is a favorite among locals seeking authentic Mexican flavors that are both amazing and affordable. Definitely give Cinco a try--you won't be disappointed!

Customer service great, wasn't really anyone in there when we were there(not a bad thing just an observation, maybe they were preparing for the dinner rush) Food was ok nothing to really brag about, looked better than it taste. May try again.

Tlayuda with Al Pastor - good for 2-3 ppl!
Lynn O.

I've been to Cinco a few times now, all during lunchtime, and my experience has been fantastic. It's not usually crowded, and there's plenty of tables and booths as well as a large bar counter. Service is attentive and they check on patrons pretty frequently. What I really love about this place is that they offer Tlayuda, which is not commonly served at Mexican restaurants in So Cal. Tlayuda is a large, super thin, crispy tortilla topped with bean spread, meat, lettuce or cabbage, asiento and Oaxacan cheese. I've only had it in Mexico City with chapulines (grasshoppers) as a topping. That'd be cool if they served that option here too. :) Besides the Tlayuda, they have a decent selection of appetizers, soups, salads, entrees and taqueria items. Other dishes I've tried here and found delicious were the Oaxacan wings, Aguachile, Shrimp Tostada Salad, and Pork Shank in mole sauce. Portions are generous and everything I tried were cooked and seasoned just right. Seems they have a great happy hour and full bar I'd like to try! There's also a parking lot in the back.

Brunch menu

I have been coming to this place for brunch for years and it's about high time I wrote a review. I always get the same thing; huevos rancheros ($18) without the sauce on top, substitute pinto beans for black beans. This time tho, I discovered how yummy their tomatillo sauce was and put that on top. Winner!!! My boyfriend got the burrito with pastor ($16) and he enjoyed it but it was kind of small. Service can be a bit slow as there are not many ppl working. The prices are a bit high for other dishes on the menu when it's not brunch, they range for about $26 and the portions a bit small (not for huevos but for other things I've tried) like $24 for 2 fish tacos. Also, I wish they gave you free chips and salsa but they charge $6 for that and $16 for chips, salsa and guacamole. All in all, I love the huevos and this place also holds special memories for me and they have a lovely outdoor space now too. I also like that they have added backs on the booths for Covid as it is much more private than it used to be.

House margarita
Monica R.

Cinco is great. They have so many drink options and delicious food items to pick from. Last time I was here I had the torta. This time I opted for the aguachiles. They were perfectly spicy and the shrimp was cooked so it wasn't too chewy and had great texture. The house margarita was delicious and had a perfect amount of tequila. The ambiance was chill and the music selection is great. I love how authentic the place is. Attentive and friendly customer service.

Was in town on a Tuesday night and was craving some Taco. This place popped up as the most rated with good reviews so we picked it. Decorations geared towards a bar with minimum lighting. Food was okay and was really on the expensive side. Totaling almost $60 for 4 tacos. Tap water did have a taste. For the least, I managed to save myself from a hunger

Steven T.

First visit and wow..Definitely returning. With the huge bar inside with plenty of seating inside and out, large parties are no problem. The food is made fresh to order with authentic flavors. If you haven't been here you have to make a stop and give them a try.

Chips, Guacamole y Salsa
chris q.

This is a fun little place. Probably a better bar than a restaurant; the food is very good but not great. The soft tacos were very decent but needed just a bit more spice I think. They're an excellent choice if you don't like spicy food. The chips and guacamole are also quite delicious but not stellar. One think that kinda stuck out was how good the water was. I realize that's a weird thing to comment on but it really was delicious water. Mexican music playing in the background. Two different sporting events playing on two TVs. Minimalist furniture. I will come here again and try some of the real food which I saw but wasn't able to eat. So, I don't drink anymore but if I did I would come here a lot.

Chicken tacos
Saphace A.

We were staying nearby so my family and I decided to come in for dinner. It feels a lot like a neighborhood bar. Not all that busy but lots of groups of people chatting and having a good time. They do have large TVs for the games. We shared chips and guacamole and salsa which was delicious! My mom and aunt decided to try the mahi mahi tacos which they enjoyed. My sisters got chicken enchiladas while I got chicken tacos. The chicken wasn't dry!! Woohoo! My older sister tried the horchata which tasted like it was missing cinnamon while my mom and other sis shared Mexican coke. It's not a bad restaurant. I liked the vibe. It was kinda dark in there, so my aunt had to use her phone's flashlight to see the menu. LOL but the waiter did turn on the light right by our table which helped a bit. The staff was nice and food didn't take long. There's a small parking lot next to it but you can also find street parking.

Agua Aguachile
Alexis G.

White washed Mexican food. Definitely not Authentic at all. The Agua Chile was not spicy at all, needed lime and salt. The fish tacos lacked seasoning. Overall they prioritize presentation as of the dishes lacked seasoning and I wish we went somewhere else.

Menu
Atul P.

Delicious Mexican food served in a casual dining-hall atmosphere. Service is prompt and friendly. The menu has plenty of choices for vegetarians and pescatarians in addition to the usual meat options. The esquite is divine -- just the right combination of smoky sweetness from the roasted corn to ho with the tang of the chipotle mayo and the tamarind salsa. The tacos borrachos with fried shrimp are flavorful and immensely satisfying.

I don't remember what it was called, and they took it off their menu. But it was delicious mushrooms on cornmeal topped with magic.

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back!!

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious. The empanadas were great and as someone who lived in South America and ate empanadas every day, these really took me back to my Paraguay days. The squash blossoms were light and perfectly fried. Unfortunately my friends had gone to Funke the night before so they were comparing the squash blossoms and Funke won out, but they still liked Dama's! Small plates were enough for the 3 of us.

They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
