I've been on the hunt for authentic tacos, and I'm so happy to say I've finally found them right here in St. James. Tacos Cinco de Mayo serves the best tacos in the area -hands down. The portions are generous, and the sauce bar is a great touch that lets you customize your plate just the way you like it. So far, I've tried the brisket tostadas and steak tacos--both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I've heard rave reviews about the al pastor and birria as well (though I don't eat pork), and I wouldn't be surprised if they're just as amazing. The taqueria is cozy, with seating for around 8 tables, and their drinks are all made in-house. I really enjoyed the Jamaica and tamarindo, and they also offer horchata and passion fruit. It's such a great addition to our town--authentic, flavorful, and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Unbelievable SALSA AND HOT SAUCE BAR!!! Numerous freshly made salsa and hot sauces to sample. I would recommend going there based on this alone, without even commenting on the food. The place is extremely generous in every way. The food portions are very large, the prices are extremely fair. You can help yourself to as much as you want of the salsas and hot sauce, sliced cucumbers, lettuce, cilantro, onions, shredded cheese, and sour cream. That's unheard of these days, at least in my experience. The food was outstanding. Freshly cut vegetables. Freshly made corn tortillas and nachos. I don't eat meat but the other two people in my party got the cinco de mayo burritos with carne asada, which were excellent and two-handed huge. I got vegetarian tostadas with black beans, fresh cut lettuce, tomato, onions, cucumbers, and cilantro, cheese, and sour cream, and additional and unlimited access to that knockout salsa bar. We also got vegetarian nachos to share, which were excellent . It reminded us of some of the little dive spots in East LA, so good. There was one TV playing a loud family movie, another TV with some interesting food program on it, and blasting music by the counter. The front door is a few feet away from middle country Road. There are a picnic tables outside and casual tables with self-serve inside. There's a lot going on here. We loved it we will be back. Also, of special interest to me, the bathroom was pretty decent and clean. I will give it a B minus because the paper towels were out and the bath tissue dispenser was empty, but there was a roll on the table. Soap was full, so extra points from me. read more

I heard this place was opening in the location of Mr Gyro. I was not a fan at all of that place, and the very sus name of Tacos Cinco de Mayo made me think it was something they were running. I was totally wrong. Inside they redid the place with all Mexican decor, and plenty of Spanish speaking people were coming in and ordering food. They answered the phone in Spanish too. In short, it is a legit place. We don't have a real Mexican fast food place anywhere around here. I ordered a Torta al pastore and it was excellent. It had very good tasting pork with some small bits of pineapple in there on a fresh toasted roll. It was the best torta I have had anywhere near here. I also got a steak taco and it had so much meat in it, I could barely eat it. On the other side there was a counter with various chocolates and candy from Mexico. They also had fresh fruit deserts over there with a station for roasted corn too. Outstanding. The woman back there was really friendly and gave me some samples. I was too full to eat any of that, but I am going to bring my family there later. Overall, there's nothing like this anywhere near here and I am really happy it has added something new to the area. It seemed they were just getting started there, and many restaurants have come and gone in that location. But IMO this is the first one there that is actually good! So I really hope people in the area appreciate a departure from the Moe's and Chipolte's of the world. read more
