" The experience at Los Cinco Tacos was more than just a meal; it was a nostalgic journey back to my childhood in Mexico. The handmade tortillas were out of this world! They tasted fresh and were perfectly made. I had the chicken and the barbacoa tacos, and each bite reminded me of home. The flavors are simply authentic, reflecting true Mexican cuisine. Service was excellent – very warm and welcoming. However, the only hiccup was the slightly limited seating, but it worked out as I enjoyed my meals to-go. Overall, a fantastic place that should be on everyone's list if you're in the area. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon arriving at Los Cinco Tacos, I was struck by the lively vibe and authentic feel. The tacos are made to order, and I highly recommend the chicken taco which was succulent and flavorful. The staff really care, making the service personal and quick. Even if there's a line, it moves fast. My only criticism would be about their hours, which are indeed inconsistent. Hopefully, they find a way to standardize their schedule as the food deserves to be enjoyed by more people. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Cinco Tacos is a little slice of Mexico in DC. The flavors are right on the mark, especially if you're searching for authenticity. I must mention the salsa, which was among the best I have tried! However, the hours are inconsistent. I tried returning several times and found them closed - it was frustrating. Nonetheless, my experiences when they are open have been fantastic. I just hope they firm up their schedule! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always been a taco lover, and Los Cinco Tacos took my expectations to another level! The moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh tortillas greets you. The carne asada tacos were simply outstanding, with a perfect blend of spices that reminded me of my trips to Mexico. The service was friendly, and I appreciated the laid-back vibe of the place. It can get a bit crowded during lunch, but it was definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend trying the quesatacos; they are a game changer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Cinco Tacos is definitely a hidden gem in the city. The tortas are fantastic – stuffed with juicy fillings and beautifully flavored. The hot salsa is a must-try if you like it spicy. I wish they had more vegetarian options, but the flavors across the board are rich and delicious. The service here is consistently friendly. Do note, though, that the venue is quite small; ideal for takeout, and it can become busy really quickly. Regardless, I'll be coming back for my taco fix soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Los Cinco Tacos recently. The tacos I tried were very authentic, especially the al pastor, which had that true Mexican street flavor. However, I faced a bit of an issue with their hours. I visited on a Saturday evening, and to my surprise, they were closed despite the posted times online. When I finally got to try the food, it was worth it, but I wish they could be more consistent about being open. The staff was friendly, and the portions were generous, but the confusion about operating hours is a downside. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kudos to Los Cinco Tacos for making the freshest tacos around! Everything from the tortillas to the fillings expresses authenticity. The cactus tacos were surprisingly good. After my meal, I couldn't help but think that I found my new go-to taco spot! The decor inside is minimal, so it might not be the best place for a sit-down meal, but it excels for a quick and tasty lunch. " (*Curated Review*)
