Had the carne asada and was fantastic, tender and flavorful! A friend had a chicken and vegetable and it had roasted veggies- carrots., broccoli and cauliflower - yummy. Service was excellent. Stopped as we were at the campground across the street. We will be back! read more

Happy Cinco de Mayo! We were actually staying in Fort Chiswell, but the closest Mexican restaurant was Cinco. It's a charming little place in a strip mall next to a Hampton Inn. We were greeted promptly at the door and shown to a table. Cinco has a a very colorful decor and friendly hosts and servers. There's a small bar toward the back of the restaurant. Since we weren't eating meat, vegetables were the order of the day. We were a bit thirsty so we decided to try a couple of Jugo de Aqua drinks. I got pineapple and my wife got mango. Wow the drinks were huge. I enjoyed my pineapple drink. It was a tad sweet, but had a lot of flavor, and it was ice cold. I tasted my wife's mango after she complained that it was a bit watery. She was right. It needs a little less aqua and a little more Jugo. While we are waiting for our entrées of vegetarian fajita and quesadilla, we passed the time munching on the tortilla chips and salsa. The vegetable fajita came out sizzling. They initially forgot the tortillas, but I hailed a waitress and she brought me a couple in a jiffy. We were quite impressed with the food (dinner style Mexican cuisine is something I don't eat very often, Cinco does a nice job, apparently others think so because it was quite busy by the time we left. The refried beans seemed homemade and the vegetables were seasoned well without relying on too much salt--tasty and cooked just right. My wife enjoyed her quesadilla. It had a bit too many mushrooms to her liking (she doesn't care for mushrooms), but she remarked that anything with queso can't be bad! And it was good queso. Cinco was a nice find, and we highly recommend it! read more

We stopped here on an interstate trip since it was close to the highway and gas. I ate my food but wouldn't come back. From the first impression, it looks relatively unimpressive with a worn out facade in a worn out strip mall. At noon on a Monday it was almost vacant. In hindsight, you can judge this book by its cover. Decor inside was nice but the place seemed very worn out. Lots of things held together by tape, paint coming off the walls, and otherwise just looking worn down. I went to the bathroom first and it was dirty and smelled like mildew. Service was fast and friendly upfront though chip and beverage refills only happened near the end of the meal when we flagged her down to ask for them. First impressions are key, and beyond the building itself, food also made a poor first impression. The chips were cold and stale and the cheese dip very runny with a weird after taste. The salsa was good and the large guac contained jalapeños and was decent. As for lunch entrees: the choripollo had a good flavor and was cooked right. The chili verde with pork was tender and seasoned well. The fajita steak was lukewarm and tough. Across the board the rice was cool and bland, and the beans were oddly pale and with almost no flavor. The sour cream tasted stale like it had been uncovered in a refrigerator for a while. This is one of those places you stop at once because you didn't know better, and never come back. The food was decent enough to fill a belly but leaves you wanting more. If there are regulars here, I assume it's only because they don't know better options are out there. On the bright side, the prices were cheap for the serving size. If you need to get a full belly for cheap, this would suit that need. read more

We arrived with a hunger for Mexican food. A small eatery with ample parking was acceptable. Once entering, the tables were full of patrons...good sign to me. The waitress from across the room got our attention and asked got our party size. We were seated quickly. Menus were good with pictures of featured offerings. The food was as expected nothing special. The waitress was helpful to these first-timers but a little overworked as our water glasses remained empty. The colorful inside was delightful. Alert!! This establishment charges you a fee to pay with a card. Be forewarned. Relieved of our discomfort, we travel on. read more

Fantastic experience. Food - Excellent, Service - great, Friendliness - absolutely. If you live in (although surely the real ones know) or are staying in the Ft Chiswell Max Meadows area of Virginia off I-77/81, make sure you eat here if you like Mexican. We both got enchiladas, me the Chori, her the deluxe, both were filling with great portions and taste was amazing. Maybe the best, and certainly most unique, refried beans I've ever had. We were passing through for the holidays and stayed next door at the Hampton and were very thankful we looked into eating here. Thanks Yelp! These dinners in Cle Ohio area would've been $17-18 per plate and not nearly as good. These were $10.50 and $9.99!!! Excellent stuff! Thank you so much Happy Cinco de Mayo!! (Pic is of my Chori enchiladas minus a bite or two) read more

My partner and I were passing through VA and decided to stop for Mexican. The service was good, however, the food was subpar. The menu stated the guac was "fresh", however, that was further from the truth. The texture and taste revealed it was premade puréed guac. The margs were good but entrees lacked flavor. read more

Fun, festive atmosphere. Great food. Complimentary chips and salsa were very good. We each got fajitas. Veggies was large and delicious. Beef were also very good. Accompanying items were also tasty. Affordable. read more

What a delightful experience. I was driving through Virginia and wanted something that was not fast food. I saw the sign from the highway and decided to give it a try. I entered and they had great Mexican music playing. My waitress Nancy was lovely. She greeted me with a smile and made excellent menu recomendations. The food arrived quickly and was so fresh and delicious. The guacamole was perfectly seasoned. The menu choices had something for everyone's palate. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a "real meal" while on the road. My only regret is that I do not live closer. I will definitely return in the future when driving through. It was truly a Happy Cinco de Mayo experience! A++ read more

Quick, friendly service; absolutely DELICIOUS food and happy ambiance! My husband got the biggest Modelo Especial on tap I've ever seen. His shrimp quesadilla was mostly huge shrimp and just the right amount of cheese. I got the chicken fajitas and it was so flavorful, just loved it. On our road trip through Virginia, this meal was a highlight! read more

We had the chips & salsa which was excellent. We added the white cheese dip, so good. Hubby had chicken burrito & chili Reno. I had the Fajita taco salad. All was very good! Reasonable prices with generous portions! read more

Gluten Intolerant Friendly!!!! My daughter can't eat gluten, nor food cross contaminated with gluten foods. They fried her fries separately in a pan, just for her, in order to avoid cross contamination in fryer oil! Very impressed! Inside decorations were fun, setting atmosphere for Mexican festivities. Staff was friendly. Food was good. Chips and Salsa - I found the salsa to be a little bland. I added salt which really helped. Queso - tasted good but very runny. I normally prefer my queso to be thick so it generously covers the chips. Chicken Mole - wasn't on menu but they happily made for me. Sauce had a nice savory chocolate flavor but no heat spice. There was hot sauce available on each table and it was perfect after a little of that bottled heat. Made with chicken breast meat. Chori-Pollo - Chorizo covered chicken. Good traditional chorizo flavor. Ribeye Steak - Daughter ordered a steak, one of the gluten free meal options. She really enjoyed it. Yellow Mexican Rice - came as standard side. It was really delicious! Margarona was good. There is something about a Corona mixed with a frozen Margarita that I love. It's my goto drink at Mexican restaurants. Large Beer was huge. Came in 1 Liter mug. read more

In a strip shopping center with parking right in front. Chips and salsa were ok. My wife like the salsa, I thought it was so so. My wife had a taco fajita bowl and she liked it. I had a glass of wine and a dinner special with rice, beans, burrito, and chili relleno. My dinner was pretty good. Service was good with two waitresses helping each other make sure we were ok. Portions were good size and prices were extremely low. Great value for any size family. read more

On the way home from South Carolina we were looking for a place to stop for lunch. After reading other reviews, we decided to give Cinco de Mayo a try. It's my new favorite mexican restaurant. If it wasn't 4 hours from home, I go every week. The decor is so colorful and fun!! I had the Chimichanga Texanos. Terrific flavor - huge shrimp, moist chicken, tender beef. Loved it My husband got the Pina Loco. A sweet spicy fajitas combo. He loved it. Even though they didn't have the real pineapple bowl. read more

Ate here 3 times. Good chips and salsa. Nice décor, attractive and welcoming. Each time I went back I noticed it's not very clean.

Thank you for being next to the Hampton Inn and thank you for Yelp! I have to admit I'd never otherwise had tried this place. Very unassuming. In fact, I'd never even had seen this place if I hadn't pulled it up on Yelp. I don't have pics which tells you I was hungry, I devoured it, and it was too good to pause for photo ops. I ordered the chicken fajitas which were ready before I could unpack my car at the Hampton. I walked in and was surprised by a cute, vibrant place with a nice little bar area. The staff immediately greeted me and grabbed a menu, and then I informed them I was picking up my to-go order. The bartender quickly grabbed a large bag of food. I asked if they might have hot sauce, and he quickly returned with a generous portion of some likely house made hot salsa. Very good by the way! I ended up with a lot of food plus an unexpected side of chips and salsa...both were fresh and yummy. I highly suggest popping in for dinner, a drink, and it also appeared family-friendly. I bet this is frequented by locals. I honestly didn't even see a sign out front. Def check it out. read more

This is absolutely the best Mexican restaurant we have been to by far! The staff was extremely welcoming and the food was so so so yummy!

Located just down the road from the interstate exit, and is a great little spot! The rice was light, fluffy, and flavorful! Chimichangas we're well seasoned as well. The waitress was very friendly and attentive as well. Only complaint is the bathroom is very run down.. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Ask for the tamales (they won't be on the menu), they are some of the best, I've ever tasted - baked with sauce and melted cheese. Generous portions. Outstanding margarita - freshly made. Delicious fried ice cream and fried banana. Service was very courteous. read more

Please put your menu online. A photo of the menu that needs to be enlarged is not sufficient. Enlarging enough to read the menu means a fuzzy picture, and prices are not able to be made out. Thank you. read more

Great food, very reasonably priced, excellent service!! Fun fact- the toilets are gorgeously tiled!

Food was served hot and was very good. I loved the beans and the rice was nice. Chimichangas were good. The salsa was not too exciting. Typical sauce not homemade and chips were normal. Little things would make this place a perfect 5 without much expense. read more

One of the two best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to! We stopped in Fort Chiswell on our way from Charlotte back to Indiana!
