" Stopped by Cinco de Mayo during lunch hour and found it to be quite busy! Managed to get a table fairly quickly. The tacos here are exceptional, and my friend enjoyed the vegetarian options. The staff handled the rush well, which is commendable. Overall, a great place to satisfy your Mexican food cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The food here is incredible! I had the best burrito with mole sauce—just the right amount of spice and flavor. The staff was super nice and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I'm planning to make this my regular spot for Mexican food—I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am a bit torn about my experience at Cinco de Mayo. The food was tasty and reasonably priced, and I enjoyed trying the different dishes. However, the atmosphere wasn’t as lively as I expected, and once we ordered, we waited a while for our food. I would try again, but maybe during a busier time to see if that makes a difference. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty good experience at Cinco de Mayo. I tried their shrimp tacos, and they were fresh and delicious! The service was quite good too, as the waitress was very attentive. My only complaint would be they didn't serve chips until we asked for them; I think they should be complimentary from the start. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a big fan of Mexican food and always on the lookout for authentic places. Cinco de Mayo hit the spot! The tamales were delightful, and the variety of salsas available was impressive. Plus, the prices are more than reasonable for the generous portions. Definitely coming back with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cinco de Mayo is always my family's go-to for a casual night out. The tacos are fantastic, and they have a lovely selection of salsas. The staff are friendly and seem to know many customers by name, which makes for a welcoming atmosphere. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re craving Mexican. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a somewhat disappointing experience at Cinco de Mayo. While I had heard only great things, I found the food to be average—not the bold flavors I was hoping for. The service staff were nice, but I think there was a communication barrier that affected the overall experience. I'm willing to give it another shot, maybe on a different day. " (*Curated Review*)
