    I ordered the mango chicken enchiladas and they were so delicious. My tastebuds were very happy. The food was seasoned so right. Definitely not bland. Thank goodness. Staff were so friendly. Plenty of seating and fabulous music in the background as you eat. in an area where more flavor is lacking in other restaurants. If you have a choice, stop in here you won't be disappointed.

    New favorite, the tortas. I've had the duck and barbacoa. Each one was a symphony. Rich avocado and cheese, savory veggies, hearty meat, and an unbelievable chipotle sauce. Pair with rice and beans, it's a meal fit for royalty.

    Encontre la Gloria tucked away next to a liquor store and a hair salon. Let me be transparent: moving from the West Coast (Vegas and SD), where Mexican food is accessible and treated with respect, it's nearly impossible to find something comparable in CT without it being rebranded, masked, and labeled as a "new age Latinx fusion restaurant" that cares more about their Instagram than the food . Taqueria Cinco is the truth. From the manager addressing his customers by name or with a kind "mi amigo!" (and making sure to remember your name for the next time you come around), to the aguas frescas made with real fruit instead of syrup from a mixer, to a huge menu that even includes barbacoa and duck--this place delivers. From the many things I've ordered, none has ever let me down. I often end up going for seconds or grabbing an agua fresca for the road. The prices are steeper than I'd expect ($3.50 a taco), but when its 2025, there's a drought of quality Mexican food--and I'm already stopping by the liquor store--why wouldn't I indulge? One thing I think would benefit Taqueria Cinco is offering breakfast and brunch options like chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, or breakfast burritos. If that ever happens, the diner next door better watch out

    The place was surprisingly big inside. I loved all the decorations. It made me feel in Mexico. The staff was so welcoming and helpful. They let me try Horchata since I had never had it. I loved the food it tasted fresh and authentic. They had it out pretty fast. I will definitely be back to try the tamales and tostadas.

    This was the cleanest restaurant I have ever been to. The owner was very friendly, teaching customers how to order in Spanish & explaining/suggesting menu items. We ordered some birria tacos & chicken abobada, carne asada & Al pastor tacos. The birria tacos were very good. The chicken adobada blew me away. Usually chicken tacos do not impress me, but the flavoring on this one was good. The Al pastor & carne were just ok, not as flavorful as I would have liked. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience & want to come back to try some of the other menu items.

    Taqueria Cinco has the best regional Mexican food in Southern Connecticut. They even have unique meats, like duck, which I tried. Their staff are friendly and fun to talk to.

    They were friendly when I entered. There was no one in the restaurant so I wondered if it was any good. I looked at the menu and ordered 2 soft tacos. They were both small and not much meat in them, no cheese, no sour cream. I think it was a rip off. I would not return. $8 - that's ridiculous. No chips with them- nothing. On the menu everything cost extra. I'm not going back.

    Very friendly server who referred to us as "my friend". Simple menu, food came out quickly. Ordered a large guac and chips but I think we mistakenly got a small size. Food was tasty and came out quick. Cheap prices. Plenty of seating indoors
