" My recent visit to Cinco de Mayo left something to be desired. While the service was friendly, my dish was too salty for my taste, which overshadowed the enjoyment. I think that there’s potential here; I just had an off day with my meal selection. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Cinco de Mayo last weekend; it was very busy! Worth the wait, though. The steak tacos I ordered gave me nostalgia of eating in Mexico; they were simply outstanding! The service was friendly, but it was clear they were a bit overwhelmed. I'd still give it another visit because the food was too good! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best nachos of my life at Cinco de Mayo! Topped with fresh guacamole and jalapeños, it was heavenly. I was surprised by the portion size, which was huge—definitely enough for two people to share! The ambiance is fun and lively, and while my service was a touch slow, it didn't detract from my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cinco de Mayo was mixed. We were seated quickly and our server was friendly, but it took a while for our food to arrive. When it did, I found the enchiladas quite average, lacking depth in flavor. However, the chips and salsa were fantastic, and I appreciated the complimentary guacamole. I might give it another try if I'm nearby, but I wouldn't prioritize it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Cinco de Mayo! The hype is real! The birria tacos were to die for, and I couldn’t get enough of their perfectly spiced broth. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement while being cozy at the same time. I left with leftovers due to the large portion sizes—a total bonus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon entering Cinco de Mayo, I was impressed by the cheerful décor and friendly host. However, my meal, the three taco platter, felt a bit overpriced. The flavor was good, but I was hoping for something more unique. The tortillas were fresh, but the fillings could have used a kick! I'd consider visiting again but may explore other local options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance at Cinco de Mayo was nice, and the restaurant was quite clean which I appreciated. When I ordered the veggie burrito, I expected something hearty, but it was a bit lacking in flavor. The service was friendly but slow at times. I wish the flavors matched the vibrant setting more! " (*Curated Review*)
