Overall: 3.75 Stars…read more There are several Mexican restaurants in Starkville and this is the newest one. Open in June 2025, so they will be hitting their one year anniversary. It is near Sprint Mart and Clarion Pointe Hotel on hwy 182. Ambiance: 4 Stars The restaurant used to be a Chinese restaurant and the decor on the outside is subdue. However, once you walk inside the decor is pleasantly bright and displaying their Hispanic culture. Tables are clean and not sticky, and have a chill vibe to it. Pop Latino is playing and is not loud. You can hear conversations with your mates or yourself. LOL Ordering: you order at the front counter. Menu are displayed on the monitors or laminated sheets. Staff: 4 Stars the employees were friendly, pleasant and professional. Our helper enthusiastically made several suggestions and we order two of the items she recommended. After ordering the items and grab our drinks, we sat down in one of the many tables they have. It only took about 10 minutes for our food to arrive and the staff brought two different salas (salsa verde and rojo) that were flavorful and not overly spicy. Authentic food from different regions Food: 3-3.75 stars 1. Child's portion: 3 Stars queso quesadilla with refied beans and rice. - your typical quesadilla. Good for the child. 2. Burrito California - 3.5 Stars. A large carb heavy burrito. Protein was steak (carne asada), loaded with fries, rice and cheese. Pretty dry however the person ordered like it that way. I took a bite and it required salsa and I thought the meat to fries ratio favored the fries. 3. Quesabirra - 3.5 Stars - A flour quesadilla filled with the birria (a slow braised beef) that is shredded. Served with the birria broth to dipped the quesadilla. The queso blanco melted evenly throughout the flour tortilla. The tortilla had a crunchy exterior from the broth and the inside was hot. 4. Birria Tacos - 3.75 Stars - Four corn tortilla tacos filled with the birria beef, shredded cheese, cilantro, and fresh onions. Served w the birria broth. The was delicious and flavorful from the juicy beef. However, it required some lime, for acidity, to cut some of the fatty beefy flavor. Wonderful tacos. 5. Birria Ramen - 3.5 Stars a fusion of Latino and Asian dishes ( yummy birria with broth, and cilantro) over ramen noodles. Served in a to-go container and a separate bowl to self-pour, the ramen dish was hot (temperature) and beefy. The broth contained the spices of red chilies, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Mexican oregano, bay leaves, all spice, and a touch of cider vinegar for acidity. Due to nature of slow braised beef, the broth is rich in flavorful and slightly fatty. Adding lime for acidity helps cut the deep beefy flavor. 6. Carne Asada Plate - 3.25 Stars a pan seared ribeye steak served w grilled onions, arroz (rice), and frijoles negros (black beans). The steak was good. However it cooked well done. The marbling kept it tender and juicy. The frijoles were somewhat "blended" but there were whole beans in it. The rice was fine. You are served with corn or flour tortillas, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. I recommend to cut your steak and use the corn tortillas as the base to add your carne asada and sides to become a taco. Add the lime and salsa and you will be satisfied. Note: we don't ordered any drinks but they carry wide variety of sodas, cervezas and aqua frescas. Next time, I will order one of the aquas frescas. They are homemade and I had a taste test on the Jamaica/Hibiscus. It was slightly sweet, fruity and very flavorful. The hibiscus flavor is on the front end of tasting it but not overwhelming. 1st time here and it won't be our last. Enjoyed it!

I can officially say after two visits, this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants ever!…read moreThey have a thinner tortilla chip (which is the style I prefer), and when they give you salsa they simply leave a bottle and an empty bowl for each person at the table. No more sharing/rationing your salsa, as here you get as much as you want in your own bowl. During my first visit, I believe I ordered dish #65, which was chicken with fajita veggies and mushrooms topped with cheese and served with rice, beans, and a salad. While I skipped the rice (not my thing), I devoured everything else on that plate. The veggies were fresh, the chicken well seasoned, the cheese was tasty, and the beans were very good. It was one of the best meals I had had from a Mexican restaurant in a long time. The second visit I ordered three street tacos, one carnitas, one al pastor, and one chicken. The chicken and carnitas were good, but the al pastor was to die for. So juicy, fresh, and hearty, next time I will be getting three of those. The corn tortillas you could tell were also homemade and it was just a great meal. Both visits I got margaritas, which for me were very good and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend coming here for good food and drinks with your group. The service is great, the prices are good, and the experience is the best!

The food is super flavorful and the menu is pretty straightforward. It's been family owned since my earliest memories, and they're a wonderful family and obviously connected to the community, so they're invested in their customers.

Five stars from me !

I also lived in Las Vegas, which has some pretty solid spots too--though let's be honest, San Diego still hits. I've tried a few Mexican restaurants around Mississippi, and honestly, they've been disappointing. But yo... Cinco Hermanos Taco Shop in West Point was giving me serious San Diego taco shop vibes. I walked in, took a bite, and all I could think was: YASSSS. The food was full of flavor and just hit the spot. I've officially found my new go-to Mexican spot. One thing I also appreciate about many of the Mexican restaurants here in Mississippi is that you're greeted with fresh tortilla chips, salsa, and beans as soon as you sit down. In a lot of places these days, you'd be paying extra for that. If you've been craving satisfying Mexican food, give Cinco Hermanos a try. I'll definitely be back.
