Restaurant Cinco de Mayo

Well the food was pretty good and I live in NC I order a Chimichanga and she didn’t ask if I only wanted the Chimichanga or rice and beans also So I said rice and beans I don’t know they was going to charge me $6.00 more I will post the pictures of the menu on here as well . Just as I said before I live in NC and all of ours Chimichanga come wet with cheese dip/sauce / queso and look at the pictures I posted it would have been a five star if the cashier would have asked me do you want rice and beans or none and when someone’s say wet they mean wet not plain . It does have good favor but it really ani’t deep fried it is just almost like a burrito . And also I only walked a mile to eat here tonight and walked back because I driver a big truck and could not get there in time before they closed and also zoom in on the menu prices because they have changed also which I understand that

My first time there, I explained that I was new to the neighborhood and excited to try their salsas my favorite food. But because I got take out, I wasn’t allowed to go to their salsa bar. The restauranteur insisted that she hand off two small to go servings. The salsas I did have were not very good. More importantly, the tone and policy felt stingy. The one positive was that the restaurant looked very clean.

Authentic Mexican fare. A bit hot inside so we Sat outside on wood deck. Burritos were large with lots of ingredients, but there was no one single flavor that shone. Kind of a mash of stuff. Maybe we'll try a different menu item next time. Thanks!

Mucho gracias. Great people running this place. Enjoyed the Simple dishes and the quick service.

I have been looking for great Mexican food all over the bay area since moving here from southern California and finally found it. Food is served very quick and decent area to eat. Pork and carne asada are amazing. I haven't had anything that isn't great.

Used to go here alot when I worked at shell refinery 15years ago same great food and service

Clearly ordered & was charged for their special crispy taco, "Meat, Sour cream, Cheese & Tomato" Gave me regular taco & charged me for the special. Not happy about that.

This used to be the great hole in the wall taco shop but just like everywhere else prices doubled and after 15 years of getting their tacos I think they out priced their food and won't be seeing as many if the locals anymore

my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! Very good service as Both a customer and as a dasher. I eat here and dash here often and have never had an issue. The staff is wonderful and friendly and so is the owner. Paola knows our order and everything is always exactly how we order it. Also, while prices have gone up, it's still the most affordable Mexican restaurant in the area

I feel bad giving them 1 star because it should be no stars at all. They charge you a different price based on how you dress. When I work at the courthouse I wear a suit. When I walk in here in a suit, the price jumps significantly. When I'm just me it's a t shirt and jeans and I get a different lower price- the price goes up and down like the Mexican jumping beans they put in their mid burritos. After being overcharged last time, I told the lady goodbye forever, but I am pretty sure she didn't understand me. This is the post fake lips lady, fumpfering around back there- also I was the only customer in the restaurant. The cooks peer at you from behind a stack of tortillas thinking "Did we get a sucker? No? Ok maybe the next one.

6 orders 1 soft taco w no cheese I w everything No spices 1 w ground beef 3 tacos came in a baby box together Not separate Omg Wrong order 1 beef taco came as a super burrito Chicken burrito ok but chicken wasn't grilled it tasted like canned chicken Wt hek My best worker couldn't eat A dio mio Adios Plus No receipt no documents They stapled the bag shut 3 tacos on one plate not separated Why me?

I've been going to Cinco de Mayo for many years but lately things aren't as good. I ordered flautas solo, like I have for a long time, and they came overcooked and ripped open. The last time I got them they weren't as good either. I don't know if they got a new cook or new owners, but they've been going downhill for a while.

A locally owned business with a Friendly staff, good quality food at a great price.

Food and service has really declined. The last 2 times we ordered to go food, items were missing, the portions were super small and the beans/rice were way too salty. When I called about the missing items they weren't very nice about it. From now on I'll make the drive to El Tapatio in Pleasant Hill. The are very friendly and they appreciate the patronage.

I used to go here all the time when i first moved to Martinez until a new lady started working at the front counter and was always snarky with me for some reason + something was usually missing from my order which i never realized til i got home. This last time I ordered 2 tacos and after 30 minutes, the pager still hadn't gone off. I asked about the tacos and they forgot or misplaced my order but offered to make it. It was getting late so I let them keep the money and left. It kind of felt like it was on purpose, so I won't be back unless the cashier changes. The tacos are really good, though, not going to lie. My suggestion, to maybe pre-order to be safe.

Best crispy potato tacos ever! We also like their bean dip. If you have a group, get a tray!

I live a few houses away from this restaurant, and I prefer to go to the one on Center. The cashier at this place is rude, it seems like she doesn't care about keeping her customers. It's really the worst.

The food is DELICIOUS- my favorites include the shrimp burrito, con todos nachos and A MUST TRY is the crunch taco!!! Service is taped and the food is fresh. The do area only contacted up to 4 and the only have 8 seating stations. It's hot inside the restaurant in the summer. Well lit sis on the corner and had small parking lot maybe 10 cars

You know I haven't been here years it's been too long . I think it change hands while I was gone . It use to be great . And since trying it yesterday it's still great . Best enchiladas sauce ever and the best crispy chicken tacos. Nice area to sit outside they could use a couple fans for the flys . But all in all it was a great experience people are friendly and the food is great just like before . You won't find a better enchilada around the sauce is top of the line good I dip in everything . I forgot how much food you get on their combo plates so I ordered a side taco boy I didn't need that the two enchiladas and rice a beans was plenty. Wife had the combo plate two chicken crispy tacos she love them . So my friends go hungry you will be satisfied.

This place has declined, the food used to be good for the price. Now the food is super bland and they seem to be using less ingredients. Too bad I really like this place.

paid $70 for 3 bland, tasteless meals. There was nothing exciting about this food at all. Won't be back.

The lady at the front desk with the big fake lips and eyelashes has gotten worse and worse over the years. She adds to the price of your order without asking by adding a full size chips and salsa to every order. She also will charge you top dollar for sour cream and guacamole on a taco unless you know she does this and tell her not to. I have gotten upset with her several times as well as seeing other customers get upset too. I've been a loyal customer of Cinco De Mayo for as long as they've been around but she is killing their business. I don't know why the owners let her get away with what she gets away with. I will only go to the one on Center Ave from now on.

Front desk manager lady is so rude. This place went down hill the past few years. I don't know what happened , but food was horrible too. Customer service was the worst ever. I won't be ever be going here again. Don't go there. Trust me.. worst Mexican food in Martinez.. . Two thumbs down.

Lady at the front desk/ manager I'm going to assume, has no respect for customers and no customer service. This used to be the best cinco in Martinez. Will no longer be going to this location. Cinco next to nob hill is great and the people know how to run a restaurant.

$4 for a bottle of Coke $2 for a tiny smear of sour cream on a burrito $4.99 for this tiny little half filled bag of chips when an entire bean burrito cost $0.04 less I'm $12 for a quart of salsa. I get it the prices have gone up. The food here is good. But I won't be going back. Because I think this is gouging.

I ordered 3 fiesta carinitas burritos and there was barely any meat. I usually order from the Cinco de Mayo on Center Ave and have never been disappointed at that location. This was the worst burrito I have ever had (so bad that I'm compelled to write a review).

I had the worst food in this place and service from the lady with a lot of makeup ....so rude ....I ask for one thing and she gave a totally different item and she charged me twice as much for it and when I asked why it was so much she replied so rude "everything is so expensive" but she gave me the wrong plate and when I got home I realized what she did...it was so gross the food is not good anymore......mi Casita Mexican restaurant is the best place in Martinez

This soup was very tasty and large. It was exactly what we were looking for on a cold winter day.

This place isn't the same not only are prices higher in which I understand but the food is old! Tastes horrible! I'm thinking they changed owners or something

Usually it's good service and food here, but I found a mosquito eater under my enchilada and they didn't even apologize. Had to ask for a refund. Pretty gross, won't be going back because they didn't even seem to care that a bug was literally under my enchilada

This place is so good I made a yelp account to help support this restaurant. First the cashier lady with the glasses was really nice. I ordered the classic thing to get carne asada burrito. Was super good! Will definitely be back! Yumm

I live next door to Cinco De mayo, and have ordered there too many times to count! The food is always delicious and hot, they prepare meals very quickly. The customer service there is great, the staff is friendly and always makes me feel welcome. Whether you're dining in, or getting takeout Cinco is a great choice. I recommend the salsa verde!

My favorite little Mexican spot. Service and the food is Always Amazing!!! Best crispy chicken tacos around

BEST burritos in Martinez!! The fiesta burrito is my all time fav! The lady at the front desk is super friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend!!!

Great fresh food EVERY time! Highly recommend. Fast service, great staff, great for catering!

Did not like the food last time at all, this place seems like a restaurant out of Gordon Ramsey's kitchen nightmares, the food tasted old and gross and you can watch them "make" your food there and they just pile everything into a box and throw it in the microwave to "cook" absolutely disgusting. My nachos were soggy the moment they were served to me and to top it all off this place made me sick the next day. Don't come to Cinco de Food Poisoning.

The food is consistently delicious! You can't go wrong from burritos to tacos to tamales. Definitely recommend this place.

This USED TO BE the 1st Cinco De Mayo. They opened another restaurant years ago. I went to Cinco in Pacheco & it looked different. The food was horrible. Apparently they are new owners at the original location in Pacheco. I will not be going back.

The food is tasty but the workers seem miserable. What's with the hoarding of the salsa? I paid for 3 items and got 1 salsa. When I asked for more, the attitude given by the young lady was less than pleasant. She seemed very bothered and didn't bring more to the table so I had to walk up to the front counter and request more salsa. The friendly cashier was nice enough to give me two. She seems like the only happy person working there.

One of my employees promoted to another unit so we had a good bye lunch for her today and we decided on Mexican. Cinco De Mayo is close to my job and seemed reasonably priced so we decided to give it a try. I ordered one dozen chicken tacos, one dozen chicken enchiladas, one dozen pork tamales, two containers of refried beans, two containers of rice, one container of salsa and a half tray of chips. Every single thing was delicious!!! It was a great value for the amount of food we received and everyone was left full and satisfied. I'll define be back.

Came back to home town for a visit and to treat my family to my favorite and very missed restaurant. They had menus on line but apparently after calling them after our food was picked up and it was almost 100 for 3 people and we didn't order a lot, I was told that the door dash menu was correct but other menus were old pricing. The prices are RIDICULOUS. I was blown away. Why would I look at door dash when I'm picking up? Super disappointed as we went here for over 20 yrs prior to moving out of the area. Never again. I can understand if proteins have gone up in price a little and a slight increase was passed down to customers but everything else is beans, rice, tortillas & cheese! They offered nothing and no apologies to the issue. Dozen tacos- 6 chicken 6 ground beef 2 burrito bowls - 1chicken 1 steak 1 burrito with shrimp and steak 1/2 pint rice 1/2 pint salsa Bean dip and chips $98 plus $10 tip RIP OFF

Stopped going to this one due to service declining. One counter person in particular was always pushing additional items and not listening to what you did order and messing up. The final straw was after a noticeable price increase, which was not reflected on the video display menu on the wall. Their answer was simply that they got a new system, no offer to correct to the posted prices. Giving 3 instead of 2 because the food was usually good and used to have good service. Haven't been back to this location on Pacheco though.

Very dissapointed with my recent visit to this place. I ordered a Fiesta or super burrito with al pastor...but I decided I wanted to mix asada in as well...$4.50 up charge. I went ahead with it...I started to eat my burrito, not once did I taste meat, all rice beans cheese lettuce sour cream..etc. For having been charged that much for an extra meat there should have been plenty of meat in the damn burrito. Might have to go across town to the other families location.

I live a half a block away from this restaurant... A few years back it used to be really really good,.. then they decided to open up a Cinco on Center Avenue.. the food at the Center Avenue location is really good the one on Pacheco boulevard lacks a lot of everything!. My complaint is about the fiesta burrito I love purchasing the one with the carnitas in it and it's supposed to come with everything in it sour cream, avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, a choice of meat the rice and beans. Every time I order one there I think they gave me the wrong order because I don't see any cheese or sour cream or avocado a couple of tomatoes maybe never lettuce and it's mainly a bunch of meat with beans but it's what I ordered a fiesta burrito. So today I happen to go to the one on Center Avenue and ordered the same thing.. I couldn't believe the difference! the fiesta burrito was full of sour cream, avocado, cheese, chunks of tomatos and some lettuce all wrapped up with the beans and the pork.. no comparison at all to the one on Pacheco boulevard!. I heard a few years back the head chef that used to be here on Pacheco boulevard is now at the Center Avenue restaurant and I believe it!, so from now on I'm going to make the trip to the center Avenue Cinco even though the one on Pacheco is only a half a block from my house because you get what you pay for, and I almost forgot to mention the salsa.. the salsa at the Cinco on Pacheco is so watered down.. the one on Center Avenue is full of chunks and it's thick, unbelievable!

Nothing great about it, this place is good when you are really hungry and have no other option Taquitos were over cooked so the meat was extremely dry. Beans need better seasoning and employees should be more professional. The only thing I liked was the corona beer and thats because this place didn't make it lol.

Great food definitely our new taco Tuesday go to!!!! Great recommendation from a great friend

Their food quality and price point in this day and age are exceptional! I order from Caviar and the food comes hot and fast delivery!

Have always liked and ate at this place. But yesterday, didn't have a good experience. Ordered my usual chicken fajita, ordered an "extra" sour cream on the side. Half way after eating, I realized I ordered an extra sour cream. Asked my husband to ask for it and he was told that, it was already given to us. So he said, no we only got one. They said, no that was the extra sour cream, that fajitas "do not" include sour cream. I have always eaten here and ordered fajita with sour cream included. Everywhere I ate fajita, there was sour cream included . So went inside myself to double check and looked at the menu, the picture showed sour cream included. Asked the lady in the front if that was a picture of a fajita, she said yes, and I said the picture even had sour cream. She said, no that's not right. Well, that was confusing and technically false advertisement. Point is, they could've provided it as a one time courtesy since the menu had it. For 0.75 cents, they decided to argue and no sour cream. Since that was not our typical experience, I'm sad to say, it may be the last time visiting that place.

I am door dash driver. Nov, 01 at 10:00 AM I got order from This restaurant, the lady behind counter tell the order is not ready and waiting time 10 min. Same time I get another order from neighbor's restaurant and decide to better serve costumers, to go and get order from another restaurant and back to Cinco De Mayo. I told cashier "I'll be back in 5 min" and got order from Vic's . In 5 min I came back to Cinco De Mayo but lady behind the counter told " She report to door dash the driver refuse to waiting and left restaurant without order" Finally costumer cancel order and lady refused to work with me anymore.

Food is absolutely horrible. The steak was so bad I couldn't even eat it. It was tough and dry. Dog food is more tinder than what they are serving. I accidentally ordered from the wrong cinco de mayo. The one in concord is a thousand times better. 2 stars because they give you a tiny bag of chips.

Cost cutting...I order steak nachos instead of slices of meat they gave me a ground meat and it happened twice for a $12 nachos?

Love the convenience and quality every time we get our food from Cinco. The staff that work here are very friendly and the menu is extensive. Their is always something new to try and you will find your favorite too. The food is high quality and is also affordable.

I got the crispy tacos and they were very good. I would definitely recommend this place.

The meat on their food is lightly seasoned. It would be good with salsa. IF they give it to you. They don't give you salsa even if you ask for it?? They just tell you to get your food and go. I find this very weird and frustrating because this would be my go to spot if this Mexican restaurant gave you salsa! Is salsa too much to ask for? I'm willing to pay for it but they just shoo you away. We get that you're fast and efficient. And that's wonderful! But you have to listen to your customers when they're trying to COMMUNICATE with you. A restaurant is more than just picking up your food. The younger kids behind the counter have better customer service instincts. Pls listen to them!

I have three criteria with any restaurant Hospitality Food taste (100% subjective) But my most important is consistency. This establishment fails on consistency That the reason for three stars. Staff is always nice but food is a hit or miss.

Stingy with their salsa and chips. They give you a less than half filled bag (6 chips) and only two small salsas. Food is ok. A bit overpriced. Both Cinco De Mayo restaurants in Martinez are this way. You're better off going to Los Gallo's in Pleasant Hill or Concord. Better prices, more for your money, great quality and a full salsa bar and all you can eat fresh chips.

My kids were telling me how Cinco's food is awesome! I decided to give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised they had great customer service. The team is hardworking and the food is delicious! I had the carne asada crispy tacos as well as the potatoe crispy tacos. They are just like my moms! The aguas frescas are also wonderful! They are handeling social distancing perfectly and seem organized. They can get busy so order ahead. The also have doordash!
