We came in for lunch, on a hot day in June, on the way somewhere else. The decor is very inviting, and the AC was frigid. We were seated and the friendly server (with a really cool smiley face tattoo on her ear) came right over.
I ordered a coconut margarita, which was a bit too sweet for me. They had this white sauce that came with the chips and salsa which was absolutely delicious.
Both of us decided to “build our own burritos” which I’ve never seen offered before, very cool. Food was great, service was great, and you can’t go wrong with a margarita even if it’s too sweet. We had a great meal, we will definitely go back.

I had never tried this place before but I got takeout the other night and everything was delicious!! All of the meat was very flavorful with a good texture. And I’m so glad I decided to try the chimi-cheesecake; it was soooo yummy— I just wish they gave you 1 more piece since it is $15 which is a little pricey for only 2. Nonetheless, I would definitely eat here again.

We stopped to eat lunch here randomly, and it was pretty great! The queso was tasty, but the star dip for the chips is the guacamole. You have to order it. They mix it up table side and it’s fresh and delicious. We added a habanero salsa which was really good. For lunch, we ordered chicken quesadilla and some tacos for our meal. Both were good. The chicken in the quesadilla was very well seasoned and all the toppings come on the side. The rice was a little bland, but the beans were decent. I’d say the protein portion of the meal is where the dishes shined.
The service was exceptional. Our server was super nice and friendly. Food was also served quickly. The place is located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking out front. Maps will take you right to the door. All in all, we would definitely come back here. 4/4.5 stars

OH MY GOODNESS!! This is my favorite restaurant!! Every time I go they are super nice and the food is too good!! It’s the most delicious Mexican restaurant in the United States!! The only thing is the decor is a little dark, but it’s also the culture. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Julio is amazing and attentive.

Love cinocs! i go at least once a month sometimes twice. Their food is consistently good, hot and delicious. Kids eat Sundays is a hit in our family. My favorite dish is chicken a la crema but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. margaritas are top notch too.

FYI for those with food sensitivies, a lot of the staff speaks little to no English, so ordering with food issues or preferences is complicated. I ordered tonight and requested corn tortillas and no cheese for my tacos; our waiter had trouble understanding this and the person who brought the food out didn’t seem to speak any English so I couldn’t confirm the tortillas were corn or ask for new sides (both were covered in cheese). Our waiter was very friendly and kind, I could tell he felt bad he couldn’t fully understand us but that significant of a language barrier isn’t great for a restaurant. Normally I would just speak up or ask for a manager to correct the issue, but never saw one or anyone other than the hostess who seemed to speak enough English to converse – so it was kind of awkward all around. My bf liked his food so I didn’t want to make the night a hassle, but was definitely disappointed I could only pick out a few bits of steak. The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly, the food looked okay, the service was slow & uneven (a table of 7 who came in after us was served before us) I just want to share caution around the language barrier for other folks with food requirements.

My friends and I tend to order out frequently on Saturday evenings. Again this past Saturday ordered $130 worth of food and two of the sides are missing. This happens almost every single time so much so that when myself or my buddy picks up the order we actually go through everything to make sure we received everything. This weekend we sent my son in there, hoping things had changed as it had been a couple of months since ordering When he got home, realized the sides were missing. Tried calling, and left a voicemail with no return phone call. It is now, Tuesday with no return phone call same thing happened last time. They do not return phone calls when you leave voicemails. Try calling it’s extremely tough to get them on the phone.
10-15-25 An email was sent to me saying they want to make it right I will keep this updated. I provided a phone number as they said their phones are not working however we have ordered via phone prior.
10-16-25 Just got a call from the owner and she seemed very genuine. Issues with phones have been fixed and she is making it right with recrediting us. Much appreciated hope to continue eating there as the food is typically great.

I loved the 4 combo option where you get to choose a little of everything. Im always indecisive about wanting a enchiladas burrito or chimichanga you can choose all! Also was so surprised to see them serving blue corn tortillas thats rare and different! Also great for my gluten free girly

Cinco’s, like most Mexican restaurants in the area, is just average. The location is very dark and the decor is starting to see some wear and tear. Where Cinco’s shines is their service. Our waitress, Charlotte, was friendly and attentive.
The cheese dip we ordered was watery; although tasty, it could be compared to the Tostitos cheese dip found at the grocery store. The same applies to the rest of the food, nothing is homemade, but the prices reflect that. The one thing I enjoyed was their margarita, although it was a very weak drink, it had a delicious raspberry taste.
