The food here was so tasty! First time in. Couldn't go wrong with anything on the menu. We also got margaritas and they were delicious! The presentation is beautiful and appealing to eat! Only downside is there is no TV to watch a game but we played on our phone. The seating area is small inside, outside has lots of tables. Also, if you order water, it's going to be in a bottle. Service was great and fast. Decor inside is so cute, even the bathrooms. The music is a vibe. The food is too delicious to complain! Update: We came back! Food was delicious and the service was just as awesome as the first time! It seems like the menu on yelp needs to be updated. They have many more food options than what is listed. They even have a brunch menu with discounted drinks. read more

Overall the food was good, but the overall experience was not because of how much this restaurant nickel and dimed us. Be aware that there is no free water (only $1 bottles) , there's no chips included, and they charged us higher prices on the bill than the prices on the menu. And this wouldn't be so bad if the prices were affordable, but things like the guacamole and street corn were both $13 dollars, which is crazy because those are usually side dishes. So if you want the best bang for your buck here I'd recommend just getting a taco cause those are pretty filling and only around $7, but overall, I would not recommend this restaurant. Edit: There's also another extra fee if you use card. read more

taqueria cinco is always a good experience, we went for cinco de mayo and they were efficient with getting people seated. The service was excellent as always, our server was attentive despite how busy it was and the late time we were there. The meat on the tacos were very tender and they did not skimp. The drinks we had were excellent as well! Overall would recommend and can't wait to return read more

Best taco in Jacksonville! Ambiance is super quaint. Everyone is so friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Delicious tacos. I got the cecina, al pastor and the boracho fish taco. Cecina was my favorite but they all were good. The fish taco came with a mustard sauce which isn't my jam. That being said, would eat again the prices were great as well. Giant portion size on the taco itself as well! read more

Definitely one of the top two spots in Five Points. I enjoyed their enchiladas, but their quesadillas and tacos just hit and I think I prefer them. They are generous with the sauce, salsa, and toppings. And service is always quick and consistent. read more

I was severely craving authentic Mexican flavors and I got pretty close here! I loved the selection of tacos and the vibes here. Friendly service and a great casual vibe that is perfect for a quick lunch or a late night bite. The Mexican corn was my favorite, really enjoyed it. Taqueria cinco fits in perfectly to the Riverside vibes and very easy to walk to if you're in the area. Ample parking on street or in designated parking spots in the area. read more

These were the fattest tacos in Jax! We had the Al Pastor, Suadero, & Barbacoa Tacos; chips with salsa and Guacamole. All the food was fire. The portion sizes for the tacos were on point, the flavors of each of them were fantastic. The barbacoa sauce was spicy. So beware. The Al Pastor is only available on Friday & Saturday. But oh so worth it. We had two drinks- the daily special marg and the Paloma. Both were made with the right portions and a great addition to the meal. The service was fantastic all around. We ate inside and talked to the cook and line staff. Everyone was very friendly. This places vibe reminds me of city life in another country. There are about 12 tables inside and outside. Very cute decor and outside seating is shaded. Parties of 4-8 only, probably not good for parties larger than that. All in all- we will be coming back! read more

I was walking my new neighborhood and stopped to check out this cute spot. I'm from Southern California and I travel to Mexico every few years so my Mexican food pallet is a bit spicer than most in JAX. I was the first person in the door and was greeted by the staff right away. After a quick look I decided to steer away from Tacos which I can find anywhere and went to the Huaraches. They hand make their blue corn tortillas so that was a slam dunk for me. They were a bit thinner than I have had in the past but still tender, fresh, and delicious. I decided to add the Ribeye for a bit of protein. It was a bit more like carne asada with some added fat that I didn't really enjoy. That said, the dish had great flavor with homemade black beans, crispy cabbage, and several traditional sauces. My server also brought me two different spicy salsa, one green and one red. I enjoyed both of them for different reasons. The red had a good heat kick and the green was a nice addition to the ribeye steak. I will definitely be back to try some tacos and the enchiladas. This is one of the more authentic Mexican places I have found within Jacksonville and Saint Augustine. read more

I've been to this restaurant a a few times. The inside of the restaurant is kind of small but they do have a back outside patio is pretty large where you can eat. The staff is usually pretty nice.

My first time trying this restaurant, though is not a big place it's very cute and cozy. The server there was very nice. She recommended her favorite, which was delicious. They have a great outdoor space in the back as well. My boyfriend got a beer along with our meal. I definitely would come back. read more

I am hesitant to review this place as it is my favorite spot in Jacksonville and I really don't wanna draw too much attention to it but let me tell you it is phenomenal. A little hole in the wall hallway restaurant with some beautiful patio space. Be sure to stop by on Friday or Saturday for tacos Al Pastor, but don't turn them down literally any other day because the menu is stacked with delicious options. The service is always top-notch as the waiters are attentive and proactive. This time around I got their margarita special which came with a souvenir cup that a completely different waitress asked if I would like for her to clean it off for me to take home as we walked out. Our go tos include the esquites, Al Pastor tacos, and birria tacos though I haven't seen a dish that did not look mouthwateringly delicious leave their kitchen. Check them out, but don't spread the word --more for me. read more

The food is absolutely delicious! The chips, salsas and guacamole were good too! The staff was extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

The food was fantastic--flavorful and satisfying. The tacos were packed with protein, and the pickled onions added a great tangy kick. Everything was so well-seasoned that I didn't even miss the hot sauce. The juicy chicken did make the tortilla a bit soggy, so a second tortilla would've helped, but the taste was still incredible. The ambiance had a cool hipster vibe with a fun taqueria twist. We sat out on the back patio in the evening--it had a great atmosphere and the lighting set the perfect mood. The only thing I would've changed was the music. When we arrived, it was pretty loud and they were playing a fast-paced house mix. While that might work in some settings, it felt a little out of place--especially since we were enjoying Mexican food and I had brought my friend's mother. A more festive or culturally fitting playlist would've matched the vibe much better than a club soundtrack. read more

So many options for tacos in the area but none can compare to Taqueria Cinco. Fresh, delicious flavor combinations, and so much food! We always enjoy starting with warm chips and salsa. My tacos were fantastic, as always, I can't skip their Al Pastor when they are available. We love the patio where. The weather is cooler and service is always fantastic too. Come here once and I promise you won't consider any other taco places in the area. read more

I visited Taqueria Cinco with two fellow yelpers Bobby and John after our 20-mile bike ride. The ambiance was enjoyable, featuring music and both indoor and outdoor seating. However, the food did not meet expectations. Specifically, the Al Pastor Taco was overfilled and fell apart during consumption, and the carnitas taco was excessively greasy with minimal pork. The flavors were also overpowered by cilantro, and the sides of rice and beans were bland. Additionally, there were no fountain drinks or complimentary water. Overall, I give this establishment three stars due to the subpar food and lack of complimentary beverages. Sodas and beers were priced very reasonably, but without refills it limited us to just one beverage. I would have given this 2 stars but because of the great service I made it 3. Hopefully I have a better experience if there is a next time. read more

This place is a very cute and small space but has some of the best tacos in Jacksonville. I wish it was a little bit more roomy because you can't really go with a large group of friends. It gets crowded indoors pretty quick. I enjoyed everything I had there though. The guacamole was delicious and so was the corn. Everyone that works here is also very sweet, which makes it better. Their specialty margaritas are so yummy!! I had the passion fruit margarita and I definitely recommend. read more

Another great stop to Taqueria Cinco! This time we sat inside. We have historically enjoyed their outdoor seating but the ambiance inside reminds me of every great Baltimore and New York restaurant I've been to before where space is maximized, and the interior is used to to set a cozy atmosphere. As always, we were greeted immediately and service was excellent. The crew there is just fantastic. This time I had the shrimp tacos with rice and beans. The tacos...phenomenal, the shrimp flavored exquisitely, the fried shell elevated these like everything else I've had here. What I didn't expect was for the rice beans to be so amazing. The texture, the taste, the best I've had anywhere. I've historically considered rice and beans to be a standard, an afterthought. As with everything else done here, excellent and next level. Can't wait to try something else next time. Everything I've tried is a home run. I strongly encourage you to visit this excellent spot in Riverside. You'll be glad you did. read more

Cool little taco shop! Don't blink you're gonna miss it. The tacos and enchiladas were not your typical street food. The beef was perfect. Chips were crispy! Salsa was flavorful and had some heat when paired with orange pepper dipping sauce. Drinks were cold and refreshing. Great pop in for a taco or three kinda place that didn't break the bank. High value for the customer in terms of quality and quantity of food served. Absolutely coming back for more. read more

What a great place. Stopped by with friends on our way to a weekend in St. Aug. We noticed this place and thought it would make a great lunch. We were not disappointed. Everyone enjoyed their meals and everything was so authentic and fresh. One note on the nachos -- they are enormous in terms of portion! My friend got them as his meal and the other 5 of us had to help him try and finish. Not the worst thing but just heads up! read more

The service is always fast here, the tacos are very delicious and authentic, they have specials on Tuesday, the seating is a little tight.

Taqueria Cinco came highly suggested by our next door neighbor. It was certainly a nice spot. I came with my family for a Taco Tuesday outing. It turns out they have a nice happy hour and Tuesday specials $3 dollar tacos and $5 margaritas/drafts was a nice special. Indoor seating is small, but intimate in a good way. I expect they get full with dates a lot. The staff was great and service was quick. Nothing took long to make or serve. The chicken tacos were very tasty as was the carnitas. I didn't try the falafel taco, but it did sound nice. My Modelo draft was tasty and the margarita was also very good according to my wife. Overall, it was a nice spot. read more

First visit with some friends and it will definitely not be the last! It is very small inside, but there is also outside seating. It was a little chilly for us so we choose a table inside. Our server, Reggie, was amazing. He was very patient will all of our questions, gave us some great suggestions, and was on point during our entire visit. Now on to the yummy food! We opted to do quite a few dishes and share, and that was perfect for our first visit. They have a terrific Happy Hour menu with lots of selections. Chicken nachos were amazing with black beans, cheese, and crispy chips - served in a very shareable bowl. Flautas were crispy and tasty. Guacamole was fresh and served with more of the crispy chips. And their version of ceviche, with Orange Fanta (!) was so delicious. I had one of their fish tacos and rice & beans. The taco was very good, but I did think it needed a bit of salt. The breading was nice & light. My friends had the carnitas and raved about the flavor. On to the margaritas - Oh my! Probably one of the best margaritas I have ever had, and $5!!! What?!? Tart, smooth and amazing! We ended the meal with churros with chili-chocolate sauce. Hot, crunchy, not too sweet, and the chocolate sauce - good enough to drink! read more

Truly top tier hospitality. Y'all can take all my money because you are doing things right! read more

Topline review is that the food here is ridiculously good. If you like tacos, this is absolutely the best choice in the area. they have a ton of vegetarian options that you don't frequently see on menus here, like nopales and huitlacoche, but I rotate between the ribeye cecina, the chorizo, the al pastor (weekends only). the carnitas, the cochinita pibil, and the campechano. The last two are probably my favorites, with the campechano marrying up both the ribeye and chorizo with nopales in a super spicy combo. You can end up with a more expensive meal than expected, because three tacos can be $16-20 depending on what you order. Seating inside is very limited, but there's a beautiful (and much larger) backyard for nice days. Service is very friendly. read more

We searched Yelp for this little gem of a place. It was absolutely amazing. The outside patio is where the action is. It is quaint and peaceful at the same time. The food was off the chain good.

This is a small hole in the wall taco shop located in Five Points. They offer a wide variety of Mexican inspired street food! My tinga taco had slow cooked chicken with ranchera sauce, pickled onions, and avo mousse. The camarones taco contained shrimp, yucatan cabbage slaw, and morita-almond salsa. And lastly, the esquites consisted of Mexican street corn off-the-cob, cotija, Cholula mayo, and chili-lime dust. All of these food items were absolutely delicious and worth a try! I highly recommend this place if you're in the Five Points area!!⁣⁣ My order: Chicken Tinga Taco, Camarones Taco, & Esquites read more

Finally made it - just dropped for a quick dinner before the Jumbo Shrimp game. Service was great and food was even better. We arrived about 5:10 on a Saturday and it's a good thing as outside seating had a steady stream while we were there. By the time we left, outside was full. Drinks were nice and strong and a very ample serving size for the cost. Nothing fancy - served in plastic cups, but well executed. My strawberry margarita really hit the spot. I ordered a fish taco and carnitas and they were spilling over with meat and toppings and also very well executed. Add 5 more fans to the growing list. read more

If you're looking for some unique and authentic tacos, this is a great spot to visit. We loaded up on the spicy food this last trip and MAN it was delicious - I even had a spicy margarita (go big or go home). My husband ordered the ribeye (mateo style) quesadilla and absolutely devoured it. I went for something different this time and had the chicken tinga and repollitos tacos. They were both extremely flavorful - but I will say, I couldn't pick them up to eat, I had to use a fork. That was my only complaint but they were *tasty*. Service was pretty quick and everything in this spot moves at a fast pace. No one is walking slowly and they are cranking out orders the entire service. Prices are also reasonable. It's so hot in the summer that we didn't want to sit outside, but thankfully we only had to wait a few minutes to get a table indoors. When it's actually nice out, I definitely recommend the patio. Cheers! read more

Yum. And yum again. This was our choice for St. Patrick's Day dinner after a long day of art museums. We sat outside at a fun picnic table which was perfect, especially on a beautiful day. It was Happy Hour, and the $5 margaritas were absolutely perfect: not too sweet and not too tart. Yum. We had the guacamole with fresh, crispy chips. Everyone in our party got two tacos. I had the Ribeye Cecina, which was delightfully spicy with tender cuts of beef. I also had the Repollitos - the flavor was great, but I would have preferred shredded brussels, instead of halved. Service was wonderful, too! Would absolutely return! read more
