If you haven’t tried Cinco’s, I highly recommend you check them out! Great atmosphere, decor, and super friendly staff! Now for the food, I couldn’t decide what I wanted, so I got a combo with three options, and a side of guacamole to go. While I waited for my order, I sipped a tasty margarita and munched on complimentary chips with salsa and queso. The refried beans are absolutely amazing! The rice is on point, the quesadilla is very meaty, and the burrito’s do not disappoint either! Check them out!!! Reasonably priced too

Hello everyone, I’m here right now and I had to stop what I was doing to give a shout out to Simone, one of the greatest server/batender I ever had. She is the sweetest person and took care of every single thing I order, always making sure I had the best of the best. Thank you Simone!

The service was good, food was yummy – just a little spicy for me. Big portions. They had a kids menue which was great for our little one. Music was a little too loud, hard to hold a conversation & it was very dark inside. Wished we could have ate outside with this beautiful weather, but there was no outside seating. We enjoyed our evening though.

We got the enchiladas (beef, chicken and cheese) and fajitas (shrimp and pork). The pork in the fajitas was SO GOOD!!!! Portion size was big, came steaming hot sizzling with onions it was delicious. Would definitely go back for the fajitas!

LOVE this place! We live in Philly but whenever visiting our son, we have to dine here at least once . My enchiladas yesterday were excellent! The sauces are homemade and delicious! Service- great! And go ahead and splurge on the best margarita ( the non mix one). Talk about fresh! Fun vibe makes for a delightful meal.

We absolutely love it here. We tend to go as a group of 4, but our friends are huge lovers of it for takeout too. The menu is extensive, but easy to comprehend with lots of options for all. I’m a huge picky eater so I’m always making modifications to items. They are super accommodating and are great at making sure it comes out as ordered. Tonight we went in for Taco Tuesday (great deal dining in) and had the pleasure of having Simone as our server. We are a group who always has questions and menu clarifications , and she was so friendly and happy to answer everything. We got the carne asada, a variety of taco trios, and nachos. All were so delicious! Their soft blue corn taco tortillas are AMAZING! We then split the dessert trio and omg I wish I could eat their entire dessert menu myself.
The vibe is fun, casual, and welcoming. Perfect for a group, family, couple, or just solo at the bar.

I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants, and this one is by far one of the best. The drinks were amazing, and the food was even better. Our waitress, Ariana, was one of the most knowledgeable and pleasant people I’ve ever met. She turned an already great experience into an unforgettable one.
I’m torn because I live two hours away, but it’s definitely worth the trip. The people of Dover, NH are truly lucky to have a place like near by.

We stopped in this cute place with a hankering for Mexican food after a long trip. The interior was unique and definitely decorated with a fun mexican flair. Loved the seats & bar stools! All 3 people in our party loved their food which ranged from enchiladas to rellenos to a huge burrito. Large portions and great quality ingredients. We each had a margarita & I asked if they were very sweet as I’m not a fan of sweet margarita mixes. The waiter assured me they’d make it to my liking & he did just that. He did regular ones for the others and made mine less sweet & it was perfect. Very accommodating & friendly. Highly recommend and I will be back next time I’m passing through.

For a quick weekend lunch, I stopped by Cinco’s. The spacious restaurant had plenty of room, so my party of two was seated immediately.
Chips and salsa arrived within a minute. The chips were light and airy without being oily – only a couple broke in the salsa. The salsa tasted fresh and had a solid, balanced flavor.
I ordered the El Diablo ($19.99), which included shrimp and onions sautéed in a spicy sauce, served with rice, beans, guacamole salad, and tortillas. The shrimp and onions were savory and comforting, with the spicy sauce adding just the right amount of heat. It’s not too spicy if you’re accustomed to spice. The portion was generous – I left stuffed.
Overall, Cinco’s delivers a solid neighborhood family restaurant experience: spacious seating, decent food, hearty portions, and reasonable prices.
