" The ambiance at Cinco de Mayo is lively and cheerful! The moment you step inside, you're greeted by warm colors and friendly smiles. I had the chance to try their tacos al pastor and they were the best I’ve had in a long time! Just the right amount of char and topped off with fresh pineapple. The salsa was a little on the spicy side, which I loved! We tried a few different margaritas, and they were all refreshing. While the service was a bit slow at times due to the crowd, the wait staff did their best to accommodate us. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out if you appreciate authentic Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cinco de Mayo for the first time last week, and I will say, the overall experience was quite enjoyable! The ambience was welcoming and vibrant, which set the tone for a nice evening out. I opted for the shrimp fajitas, and while initially presented well, I was hoping for a bit more flavor. The shrimp were plentiful, but the peppers and onions were lacking in seasoning. Nevertheless, I loved the fresh guacamole and the service was attentive and friendly. I think I’ll give it another shot; maybe I’ll try the birria tacos next time, as they seem to be a crowd favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" As far as Mexican restaurants go, Cinco de Mayo is a solid choice! The decor is charming and vibrant, really enhancing the dining experience. My partner and I shared a few items from the menu, including the quesadilla and the fish tacos. While they were tasty, I felt the portions could have been larger for the price. But everything was delicious. It's definitely worth visiting, just keep your expectations in check regarding portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience at Cinco de Mayo. The staff was friendly, and my order came out faster than I expected. However, I found the food to be slightly lacking in authenticity compared to similar restaurants. I had their fajitas, which were decent enough but didn't blow my mind. I'm hoping to see more variety in the menu on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cinco de Mayo recently and was really pleased! The food was nicely flavored, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I had the California burrito, which was substantial and packed with fillings. The staff was friendly and made sure our drinks were full. Overall, I had a great time and will recommend this place to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very average experience at Cinco de Mayo. The food was fine, but honestly, it didn’t stand out to me. I expected more authenticity in the flavors given the rave reviews. The environment was nice, but the service felt a bit slow for a weekday evening. It’s possible I’ll give them another chance, but I’m in no rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Cinco de Mayo twice now, and both times, the food has been consistently delicious! The enchiladas are amazing, and I also tried their chorizo queso dip which was rich and cheesy. Perfect for sharing! The margarita selection is impressive as well. I love coming here for casual dinners! " (*Curated Review*)
