" 5 De Mayo truly lives up to its reputation! I love their tacos de lengua; every bite is tender and flavorful. The rice and beans served on the side complement the main dish perfectly. The service is quick and the staff is very friendly. However, I think the prices are a bit steep for casual dining. But the quality of food makes it worth it. I will definitely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don’t let the unassuming exterior fool you; 5 De Mayo serves some seriously authentic Mexican cuisine. I had the molcajete, and it was bursting with flavors. Everything was cooked freshly, which definitely shows in the taste. The service was friendly but a bit disorganized, leading to some wait times. Still, it’s worth every penny for the quality of food. I’ll be back for sure, but possibly during less busy hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited 5 De Mayo for the first time last week, and it was a mixed experience. The food was mostly good, especially their chorizo tacos, which were delicious! But the service felt a bit rushed, and they forgot my side of guacamole. I did mention it to them, and they quickly brought it, but it was a little frustrating. I would still recommend them for their tasty food; I might just be cautious about peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" 5 De Mayo serves authentic Mexican food that you can taste in every bite! Their tacos are my favorite—they are loaded with meat and flavor! I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere too, perfect for family outings. The only downside was finding a parking spot nearby, but that's a minor issue when the food is this good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have a special fondness for authentic Mexican cuisine, and 5 De Mayo truly delivers! Their chilaquiles dish is one of the best I've tasted! Generous portions too, which makes the price point seem fair. The only downside I noted was the slight delay in service due to it being packed. Still, the meal was worth it; a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" 5 De Mayo isn't just a restaurant; it's a place to enjoy authentic Mexican flavors! I had their tacos de barbacoa and they were exquisite, loaded with spices and fresh produce. It's always bustling but maintains a friendly vibe. Be prepared for possible wait times, but just know it's absolutely worth it for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried out 5 De Mayo on a friend's recommendation and were impressed! The tacos are really delicious, especially with their house salsa. The staff is super nice and accommodating. The only downside was the difficulty with parking around the area, which made it a bit challenging to get there. Overall, a solid place to grab a bite if you're craving Mexican food!
