I took our family of 5 there at 7:30pm on a Friday. It wasn’t busy at all. The hostess was rude and sat us at a dirty table. When we sat down and picked up our menus the table was sticky, there were small bits of food on the table, and when my daughter picked up her menu there was a used toothpick under it. The hostess had just sit our menus down when she seated us. The silverware was already placed on a filthy table. I was grossed out so we left. If they don’t wipe down their tables before putting out silverware what else don’t they clean. I was looking forward to trying a new restaurant downtown but I won’t be back to this one.

Love this place but super disappointed, I paid 4$ for chips and salsa and salsa container was just a little over half full.

We have heard nothing but good things about Cinco 5 so we decided to try it out. The service was excellent. We asked many questions and our server was gracious and helpful with her answers. The ambiance has something to be desired. There are two main dining areas. One is cozy with all booth seating. The other, where we sat, is more wide open with a few tables and no booths. IMO it's quite an odd set up. They could benefit from an interior designer. Not really a big deal to me though. The food...ah, the food! Chef's kiss to you Cinco 5! Amazing! We started with the pork dumplings. So good with the spicy dipping sauce. I had the pad thai with a heat level of 2 as suggested by our server. The portion was generous but still a tad spicy for me. Next time I'll try spicy #1. The hubs had the chicken and steak fajitas. They didn't come out sizzling like our neighboring table's did but he wasn't mad. The man is a fajita connoisseur, these take the top spot! Both meats were tender, juicy and seasoned perfectly. Two big !! What a great meal! We can't wait to return to Cinco 5. You will love it too!

Went here because I’ve always known this place to have great food good drinks. No complaint about that. Only complaint I have is that it costs almost $100 for two people to eat with one drink a person. I got three fish tacos with the smallest and I mean less than a recommendation serving amount of rice as a side, which cost $22 for what… not $22 worth of food. Next chips and salsa cost $4 and guac $10 I understand it’s not haci and chips aren’t unlimited but $14 for chips and a spoonful of guac…. A chicken beef shrimp quesadillas was $17 not terrible but also smallest amount of rice and I mean smallest amount agin, as side. So where did the rest of the bill come from I honestly don’t get it we ordered two drinks a Michelada and a Margarita, small cucumber margarita. With a $10 tip. $83.83… How I have no idea but I do know I will not be going back with that price.

We go to Cinco nearly once a month and love it. The blackened tilapia fish tacos, khao pad, and veggie egg rolls are our faves! Service is amazing and everyone is so friendly. We go so often that they know our orders and gives us ideas for drinks.Kid-friendliness: We take our 2, 4, and 10 year olds every time and they love it. The servers cater to our children.

Got the taco 12 pack for restaurant week. Tacos were small. Chicken had absolutely no seasoning and was bland, al pastor was sweet???, the steak was fine. Green sauce was an extra $1.25 where other Mexican restaurants just give it with the tacos. Not worth it.
