" El Cinco de Mayo is a fantastic place for authentic Mexican food by the beach! The birria tacos blew my mind—they were so flavorful and juicy. The churros were a delightful bonus! The restaurant’s setting is perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors with a view of the ocean. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive without being intrusive. While it’s a bit on the pricier side, the quality of the food makes it worth every penny. I’ll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited during a trip to Redondo Beach and was pleasantly surprised by El Cinco de Mayo. The fried shrimp was on point, and my partner enjoyed the carne asada. The outdoor seating with the ocean breeze was relaxing, but the restaurant itself isn’t big. The service was friendly and quick, which was a plus. Although prices are a bit steep for what you get, the experience and flavors were enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my new favorite taco place! The birria is authentic and incredibly delicious. I also tried the elote; it could have been better, maybe a little fresher, but everything else was outstanding. The outdoor seating gives a nice view of the pier backdrop making it truly enjoyable. The staff was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend El Cinco de Mayo to my friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Cinco de Mayo thinking it was just another beach taco spot, but it blew me away! The birria tacos were sensational, and the flavor left me impressed. I highly recommend trying the funnel cake too—it’s a sweet treat that complements your meal perfectly. Aside from great food, the atmosphere was lively, which only added to the experience. A small downside was it was a little crowded during my visit, but I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my second visit to El Cinco de Mayo and I absolutely love this place! I had the quesadilla with birria and it was out of this world. It is authentic and made with fresh ingredients, which really sets it apart from other places I've tried. Service was prompt, and the outdoor seating with the ocean breeze made the meal even better. The only downside was that it was a bit pricey for some items, but I believe the quality justifies it. I will definitely come back to sample more from their diverse menu! " (*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*)
