“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!“

Juan Camaney - Pupusas Restaurant Salvadoran • $
618 S Pulaski St, South Bend

“I would've eaten in the restaurant if the clientele hadn't been staring at me. I don't think that they are used to seeing a white Cuban with an Asian. Especially when the white Cuban has a genetic disorder that affects the weight.Vegetarian options: Can't read the menu because there really isn't one and it would be in Spanish if it was. It would be helpful if they had an English version of their menu.Dietary restrictions: Mexican, Hispanic, Latino foods aren't friendly towards corn allergies or sensitivities. I do wish they had more corn free options, but I won't hold my breath for that to happen.“

“Food and service were great. It's a little thin as far as atmosphere but we usually carry out. This time we ate there and realized it's very bright and the booths aren't very comfortable - Seats are too low or tables too high. Certainly nothing that would keep us from going back. Could use more "Mexican" décor and better lighting. Highly recommend the food though!“

“I was lucky enough to find this place due to a canceled flight from Chicago to Cleveland. We ordered the tasty tacos (pictured) and some gorditas. Unfortunately, we crushed the gorditas before taking a picture. They were well worth the 15-20 minute we were told it would take. I highly recommend stopping in. The service was great and the food was even better!!!“

“This place is FANTASTIC! Awesome outdoor seating area...friendly and helpful staff. . delicious food... good prices...large portions and food quality was good. We will be back sooner than later! We shared the guac and chips, I had a steak burrito and partner had 3 tacos. We also ordered a side of the peppers. Definitely get the peppers ...those and the onions were grilled and THE BEST! My burrito was probably the best I've had ..the steak was good cuts and had a great flavor...also perfect balance of beans and other ingredients. I didn't have one tough or fatty piece of meat... impressive. Tacos were delicious... especially the alhambra! Don't leave without trying this as a taco or burrito...it was bacon, steak, cheese (queso) along with onions and peppers. Everything was 5 stars...we are making a 45 min drive next weekend to do this again!“

“If you know nothing about Mexican/Hispanic cuisine this is your outlet. I have never been so wowed and overwhelmed with all the different varieties of items they have. Very friendly atmosphere. Very deep accents, but can still understand and communicate for those of us who are not fluent speakers of foreign languages. Very pleasant and accommodating customer service. They put the world foods aisle at your local grocery to absolute shame. They have a fresh produce department as well as a meat counter. They can accommodate all your needs. If you wanna impress your friends, forget Ole El Paso or take out from Taco Bell, shop here for a true authentic experience!“

“It's a small store with competitive prices. However, I would not say that the prices, particularly in produce, are any better than anywhere else. The produce section is small, but there are a few choices you probably won't find elsewhere. The quaint and clean meat counter was a nice touch, nestledin the back of the store. The steaks we purchased and later pan fried were very surprisingly very tender and reasonably priced. The employees were friendly. I felt welcomed as my two baby boys were running around a bit and the employees all seemed overjoyed to have them in the store. I'd like to thank everyone at the store for welcoming us on our first visit. We will return.“

“Stopped in for an early dinner/late lunch around 4:30pm on a Sunday afternoon. Only a few patrons were seated when we arrived. We were greeted and seated to a booth pretty fast, chips and salsa came out to us immediately. Then we waited, over 10 minutes before anyone came and asked us if we wanted a drink, and or if we were ready to order. I was pretty disappointed at this point. Chips were good, salsa was just average. Once we ordered the food it seemed to fly out of the kitchen, like REALLY fast! Portion sizes were awesome, especially for the price. Great tasting food! I'm sure if this place gets more and or better help with waiting staff this place would be exceptional. We will be back soon, hopefully the service is better next time. Highly recommend for the FOOD and PRICES!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Sinaloense and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The food at this establishment is simply fantastic, and I find myself coming back every Tuesday for their dollar tacos special. The flavors are always on point, and the carne asada tacos are definitely my go-to choice.The service at El Sinaloense is usually pretty good, but on this particular visit, it was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. It's always a pleasure to be treated so well.One aspect that I appreciate about El Sinaloense is that the food is not only delicious, but also affordable. The prices are reasonable, making it a great option for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. The fact that they offer take-out services is also a huge plus for those days when I'm in a hurry or simply want to enjoy their mouthwatering dishes in the comfort of my own home.I should mention that El Sinaloense can sometimes be a bit slow during peak hours, but personally, I don't mind the wait. The quality and taste of the food more than make up for it, and it's worth the patience.In conclusion, I highly recommend El Sinaloense for anyone looking for delicious, affordable, and authentic Mexican cuisine. Whether you dine in or opt for take-out, you won't be disappointed. Give their carne asada tacos a try - they are truly outstanding!“

“Visited on Mother's day, very busy as to be expected. Sat in a corner near a small family. Their food got out quite a bit quicker than ours despite us ordering first. That was fine, I just hope that the floor space is cleared up more, patrons and staff seemed to be tripping over any available space to put feet.I also got a stuffed french toast. Nothing stuffed inside, just smothered. I was looking forward to gooey filling.“
