" I came across El Cinco de Mayo while exploring the pier, and I was really impressed! The birria tacos were delicious and had that authentic touch I miss from home. I also enjoyed the churros very much; they were crispy and sweet! It was slightly crowded, but the service remained nice and the wait time was pretty reasonable. Overall, I've already recommended them to several friends who love Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! I came for the birria tacos after hearing so much hype, and I was blown away. The flavors were incredibly authentic, reminiscent of my travels to Mexico. The outdoor seating enhanced the experience, allowing me to enjoy my meal while soaking up the sun by the pier. The staff was highly attentive and friendly. It was a bit busy, so I had to wait a little for my order, but it was definitely worth the wait. This place is going on my regular list for beach days! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cinco de Mayo exceeded my expectations! As a lover of Mexican cuisine, I seek authenticity, and I found it here. The birria burrito was filled generously, and the flavors were spot on. The environment is vibrant and outdoor seating adds a nice touch. Service was superb, with attentive staff ensuring we had everything we needed. I came on a weekend, and although it was busy, the wait was minimal. Definitely a recommend in Redondo Beach—I'll be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had lunch at El Cinco de Mayo while walking along the pier and I was very impressed. The tacos are among the best I’ve ever had. The combination of flavors is fantastic! The staff is incredibly nice and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were cooked perfectly. The only minor downside was the seating arrangement; it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. However, the view and vibe definitely make up for it. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for delicious Mexican food in a great location! " (*Curated Review*)

However, parking can be a nightmare on busy days. Even still, the delicious food and the nice atmosphere made it all worthwhile. If you're in the mood for some great Mexican cuisine, do stop by this lovely place! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading numerous positive reviews, I finally decided to visit El Cinco de Mayo, and I was not disappointed! The chicken tacos were moist and bursting with flavor. I also tried the elote, which was decent but not as impressive as the tacos. The staff was friendly, but the place was quite busy; it may take some time to get your meal. However, the outdoor seating provides a lovely atmosphere to enjoy your food. I would definitely recommend the tacos; they are a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at El Cinco de Mayo! The birria quesadillas were incredible, and the combination of flavors made for an unforgettable meal. Their outdoor seating combined with the view of the beach was the cherry on top. My only critique would be the prices; they seem a bit high, but considering the quality of the food, I’d say it’s reasonable. I definitely look forward to going back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
