Love this place! Great food- my go to is the fajita quesadilla. This is a weekly spot for me and it never disappoints time after time. Great people and a caring place that is growing and constantly trying to make improvements- not that it needs any!

The food that I had ordered had a bizarre taste. It did not taste like authentic fresh Mexican food. I did not end up finishing my meal. Next day, had severe food poisoning. Do not recommend this restaurant as they do not know how to safely cook and prepare food. Go to Los Amigos in Muskegon instead.

We have been to this restaurant multiple times. Every time we have great service. Their food is some of the best I’ve had for him Mexican restaurant. They have a great selection on the menu and their prices are reasonable. We love the atmosphere, especially sitting outside on the patio. I typically get the chimichanga or a burrito. They’re ground beef is the best anywhere that I have found.

Parking: If they are extremely busy and the parking lot is full, you can park across the street at true value

Extremely Disappointing Experience

I recently visited 5 de Mayo, and what should have been a pleasant lunch turned out to be a frustrating and overpriced ordeal. My experience was marred by subpar food quality, poor service, and a lack of understanding from the staff.

Key points to consider:

• Portion sizes were smaller than anticipated for the price paid
• Chicken enchilada was dry and had an unpleasant chalk-like flavor
• Margarita was not prepared to my taste preferences
• Request to remove unwanted drink from bill was denied
• Found a hair in the complimentary salsa

What made matters worse was the staff's handling of my concerns. Despite expressing dissatisfaction with my meal, particularly the margarita, I felt pressured to consume food that I didn't enjoy. This approach completely undermined my attempt to take a mental break during lunch. Instead of accommodating my requests or offering alternatives, I was essentially bullied into finishing dishes that left me feeling unwell and dissatisfied.

The final insult came when I requested to have the unwanted and completely full drink removed from my bill due to its poor quality. Not only did they deny this request, but it seemed like they were unwilling to listen to my legitimate complaints about the food and service.

In today's economic climate, maintaining high standards is crucial for businesses to thrive. Unfortunately, this establishment fell short in several critical areas. I sincerely hope that management takes customer feedback seriously and addresses these issues promptly to prevent future diners from experiencing such disappointment.

stars

Recommendation: Focus on improving food quality, consistency, and addressing customer complaints promptly. Provide better value for money to customers. Train staff to listen attentively to customer feedback and offer genuine solutions to address concerns.

God bless you all.

One of the most delicious Mexican restaurants we have ever eaten at. Wow! Everyone loved their meals. The vegetable fajitas were out of this world yummy. The burria tacos and flauta dinner with cheese sauce were delicious too.

Pretty simple American Mexican style food
Kinda flat but good if you’re looking for a very quick meal
Good service fast kitchen & very clean restaurant
We ate out on the patio but to be honest it’s like sitting on the expressway with all the traffic
The dining room here would have been a better option

Wow. Awesome food. Service was amazing. The patio is dog friendly (leashed, of course) and very comfortable, but it is on M45 so a little noisy. Sits back and is not horrible though. Really quick service and didn't mind substitutions. Everything was great here. Prices are fab with good drink specials.
