Some of the best burrito takeout in the area and dinner atmosphere is great.

The weekly happy hour items are great but you have to be specific about ordering them otherwise you'll be charged full price for the same item. Food is always great, it can be loud.

We used to come here all the time. It used to be my absolute favorite restaurant in Syracuse. Unfortunately, it looks like they have a new cook. Their fries are suddenly way too spicy and their tacos are burnt. If there's a way to get the old cook back, please do.

Our return to this restaurant after an absence of about 10 years was somewhat disappointing. For an appetizer we chose the nachos with jerked chicken. It had a wonderful variety of tastes, but after picking off some of the the crunchy chips on the periphery we encountered soggy unappealing chips supporting the bulk of the toppings. We did enjoy dipping pieces of chicken in a small $2-side of mole sauce. My wife and I ordered two mains to share, shrimp tacos and a chile relleno platter. We both thought the shrimp tacos, which included a generous portion of thinly-sliced pickled red onion, were a hit. However, the chili relleno coating was soggy, the poblano pepper had little taste, and for most of the pepper, the cheese stuffing was sparse. The best things on the plate were the cornbread and the mixed salad which included arugula and a delicious dressing. The service was excellent and the ambience was great.

The Westcott neighborhood is a great little multi mix neighborhood in Syracuse not too far from Syracuse University and we visited Alto Cinco in this cute little neighborhood for lunch recently with family members who regard it as a local favorite. We started off with drinks, and chips and salsa, and as the salsa was homemade and brimming with fresh tomatoes it was deemed one of the best salsas ever by one of our party. For lunch we had the Shrimp Tacos, Jerk Chicken Tacos, Tex Mex Salad and Chicken Enchiladas and all were delicious and eaten until they were gone. Service was excellent too. We have family members who attend SU and/or graduated from SU so we are pretty certain we will be back.

The BBQ tofu was solid, but I really want to rave about the nopales tacos. First off, vegan queso! Second off, I'd never had cactus before, and now I want to make some myself. So, great place, plenty of options, oh and there's a good atmosphere too.

Loved this place, and clearly many others did too. Make a rez! All our dishes were delicious, and the outdoor seating is dog-friendly. I had the best fried cactus pads. I'd never had before so tried and were delicious. Tacos were packed with good stuff.
Excellent fresh quality food in a simple but fun atmosphere. And they easily cater to many dietary restrictions. Highly recommended.

Barely got through the door to the hostess stand because the restaurant was crowded. This is a clear sign to me that this place is popular and, therefore, must be a delicious place to eat food. The hostess was unavailable because, like I just mentioned, it was busy. Sometimes when I’m hungry, I have a warped perception of time because I am focused on the grumbles of my tum-tum. When she finally acknowledged my hangry ego, she said it was an hour wait. I said, “No problemo, dude!” and just got a drink at the bar while I waited because I am a totally reasonable person. What a good decision too, because as I looked around, I realized how handsome and humble all the staff is. And did I mention humble? Anyway, the wait wasn’t really that long because that’s how restaurants work. I am now leaving this review because I tried the food, and that’s totally how reviews work. Anyway, I will never eat anywhere else ever again and will now enquire about employment here because I am also handsome and humble.

Barely got through the door to the hostess stand because the restaurant was crowded. Not a big deal, dinner rush happens, I get it. But the hostess was unavailable at the spot for over 10 minutes. When she finally acknowledged we were waiting she told us it would be an hour wait. Decided ultimately that if this was the service we were getting, we'd be better off going elsewhere.

Rating 5 stars so you can see my review! NOT AN AUTHENTIC MEXICAN Restaurant! Food is low quality. Drinks are watery. Food was burnt and tasteless. Manger is highly disrespectful. Not an authentic Mexican restaurant.
Great food , fast delivery and support local!
