Cinco de Mayo

Love the vibe! The decor is everything! The staff were welcoming and attentive. We had the chicken tacos, DELICIOUS! And the best part, they have a bar! Cute place for a date night or family night!

Absolutely love this place, me and buddy from work stop here for dinner at least twice a week. Everyone there is so friendly. The food is great, and donate the 2 for 1 margaritas

We are regulars here! It is always a good time here! They have amazing deals daily and you cannot beat $1.25 taco tuesday!! Always great, friendly & fast service! The new owner, Daniel is amazing as well! He introduced himself right away and always greats us when we come in!!!

All I have to say is 2 for 1 margs baby!!!!! Manager was spectacular and amazing service. Great experience overall and tasty real Mexican food!!

I have come here multiple times and there is always great service with a smile, chips and salsa is my kryptonite so you know I love that, along with the guac and queso. 🤤The Aztec surf and turf tacos were awesome. The California burrito is off the chain. My buddy got the Speedy Gonzalez can’t say enough good things. This place is just well put together. The manager Daniel always comes around and checks on everyone. That to me is a sign of a well run place. Come check it out.

Two for one margaritas all day every day!! And these aren't your gramma's margaritas, they're good and strong! Danny is the best bartender and the rice and beans are a great snack for the 2 for 1 margs! Also, Taco Tuesday never disappoints.

We drive 45 minutes to this restaurant because the food is great but the staff is better. They are under new ownership and Daniel and Libby are so nice and they are always checking on everyone. A big plus is they have chicken tenders and fries that my picky eater will eat so mom and dad can actually enjoy their meal. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. We love the Pollo ala crema, queso, and salsa

The tacos are amazing! Go for Taco Tuesday- a real bargain. 2 for 1 margaritas! Tonight I tried the chicken soup and it was outstanding. The service is always fantastic, and I look forward to coming back next week.

We loved it!! Food was great! Our server Angelica was attentive and went above and beyond to help us on our first visit. We will be back :) Edited 4 weeks later to add: We are now regulars! The staff is very friendly and food is always delicious!! Highly recommend. Good specials, as well!!

The food is amazing the people are even better. you have to try the tamales & Barria tacos. The esquites are an amazing app and the two flavor margarita is AMAZING. We found them two weeks ago and have already been four times. Highly recommend for date night or even a casual lunch. 5/5 stars

My family’s favorite spot! I usually visit for the 2 for 1 margaritas and queso, but tonight we had the chocolate Tres Leches cake!!! It was absolutely incredible and a new fav! The staff is always incredibly accommodating as well.

Authentic great Mexican food! Definitely worth it! $8 mojitos that you just can’t beat. Great prices, high quality. I know Mexican food coming from southern Arizona and this is worth the hype.

Ok I am sold on this place. I will never go back to Taco Bell. Tuesday and Thursday they have taco specials. I will return to check out drink specials. Maria was very helpful and friendly. This is a clean and down to earth place. For meat lovers and vegan 😉🤤. Next to little Caesars and shores liquor store

Just had lunch and the service was amazing! The gentleman was very attentive and nice. Drinks were always refilled and the food was quick. The tacos were delicious and the cheese they used was 🤌. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

The margaritas were amazing. The soup is outstanding, and the tacos are delicious.. they also have a 250 draft when the jags play. but it’s too bad they lost to the bills. Josh Allen is Superman

I had an amazing experience! Food ws amazing. The service was outstanding!

My man Daniel, the new owner introduced himself while I was grabbing some to go drinks. He explained how he just took over and changed the ingredients to the margaritas!!! Not only are they 2 for 1 but they taste awesome!! I nearly drank it, sipping straight through lol Wonderful pickup as always and will be back sooner than I expected for more drinks to go. Thanks Daniel

this place is awesome! very unassuming from outside doesn't look like much, but very nice inside and the food is amazing! best in the area now for Mexican food as far as I'm concerned. only downside might be they don't have coke products

We come here often with the family and for adult dates, it’s always a great experience. The food, drinks, and staff are consistently good, and the service has never disappointed. They offer a military discount, which is appreciated and the drink specials are solid. A picture of margarita is $18.99! It’s also a great spot to watch the Jags game. Definitely a reliable go-to for good food and a laid-back vibe.

Good food! Service is fast and friendly. Good specials. Place is local so I really appreciate it. Oh yeah, and their margaritas are on point! 👌 We had the soup and the birria tacos. Delicious.

Our family had a great experience visiting this restaurant for the first time. The food was good and it was very family friendly but all the adults in the building w/o kids seem to be enjoying themselves. They have 2 for 1 margaritas and nice “Jags Game” specials. The food was good, the drinks were strong and the service was great. We will be back!

If you want truly authentic Mexican food, you gotta come here! I grew up just 100 miles north of Tijuana, Mexico. Jacksonville has been a disappointment time and time again with the “it’s covered in cheese sauce, so it must be Mexican food” flair. I stumbled back into Cinco de Mayo for an early dinner and was created warmly by the new owner Denny, I ordered the Carnitas plate and it was prepared to perfection with the perfect balance of crispy edges around a soft and juicy bite. Paired with beans and rice that are as authentic as as it gets. Then came desert. Can I just say that I have not been blessed with Tres leches cake like this since I was a kid! The cake was not sugary sweet and smoothered with some fake interpretation of the classic dessert. It was presented with the tight amount of real whipped cream on a plate with the sweet milk pooling at the sides. Lightly sprinkled with cinnamon and topped with a cherry. Y’all gotta check this place out!

Been wanting to check this place out for awhile and today I finally did. It was such a great experience way cooler than I had expected. The staff is amazing and the food was absolutely delicious. 5 stars all around.

i went to Cinco de Mayo and had such a great experience. The food was amazing and everything came out super fast. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole night even better. i would 100% recommend. Definitely coming back! btw top tier margs 😘

So nice to finally have a neighborhood Mexican restaurant in this area! The food and the customer service was excellent and menu selection was very nice. This place has been fully remodeled and looks great with large and comfortable booths. I was surprised to see French fries served with our burritos. They were excellent but next tine I'll ask for beans and rice. No big deal. The music in there was being played way too loud and was stressful to endure. The tile floors reflect sound and the acoustic environment transmits noise easily. Small shortcomings aside, I'll definitely be back.

This place is fantastic! The 2 for 1 margaritas were delicious, and the queso was amazing. The service was also friendly and fast. I ordered the fajita quesadilla and the portion sizes were very generous. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been in the area for several years, always just drove by and never really stopped in until a few months ago when I moved super close by! Since then, I’ve really enjoyed the affordable prices for taco Tuesdays! Two different styles for 1.25! The best thing is the bogo Margaritas!! I even buy extra to take to the TEALgating parties! Go Jags! They always ensure we are well taken care of! The customer service has completely changed since October! Danny has been the game changer with placing customer service to its most highest possible! They even have a lot of options for the kiddos!! I’ve enjoyed watching the place grow and even meeting a few regulars. If you tried it once and wasn’t impressed, try it again with some fresh eyes! Big things coming to our local mexi restaurant! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 shout out to Danny!

They have new Owners/Management (December 2025). The staff here is so friendly, shout out to Angie, so sweet. Their own House Margaritas are awesome! But most of all the food is incredible, So tasty and flavorful. I recommend the Fajitas Jalisco. Support your Mandarin businesses. 😁

Great service, 2 for 1 margaritas $11.99 can’t beat it. Daniel is the man and will make your experience here at cinco the best that can be. Great food, good drinks, good prices what else can you ask for? See them

Excellent food, great service and so glad I gave the margaritas another shot! They changed the recipe and they are definitely on point now! Nancy, you were a great server too! Oh and I forgot to mention 2 for 1 drinks! I had 3 tacos: mahi-mahi, grouper (blackend) and Tijuana. Guacamole and queso did to go with my chips as an appetizer! All the food was excellent!

Danny does a great job here. The food and service were excellent, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. The daily two-for-one margaritas are a big plus, especially since you can mix flavors instead of being stuck with a single base like other locations. You can tell a lot of care goes into the experience. Definitely recommend stopping by.

We've discovered our new go-to Mexican restaurant after having a great experience here! The customer service was extremely fast and very personable. We were greeted right away and were well taken care of throughout our visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. Also, the house margarita was one of the best I've had, ever! Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to on a regular basis.

Danny was absolutely amazing. I’m already a big fan of Cinco de Mayo, but this particular location has become hands-down the best in the city since Danny’s taken over. The food was on point, the service was top-tier, and the atmosphere was exactly what you want. The two-for-one margaritas were incredible, and unlike other locations, they let you mix all the flavors instead of limiting you to the base mix—and they’re not frozen. You can tell he genuinely cares about the experience. Highly recommend—this place is doing it right.

Went here last night with a friend. The staff was nice and when we went they offered $10 for their Burrito California (which is typically ~$15) as a Wednesday deal. My friend got tacos, and he enjoyed them. My Burrito had a generous portion and was really good. I had also gotten the flan, which was easily shareable. Overall, we had a pretty good experience here and would like to come again

If you’re searching for the best Mexican food in Jacksonville, Florida, look no further than Cinco de Mayo on Old St. Augustine Blvd. This place truly stands out as a local gem. The food is incredibly fresh, bold, and packed with flavor easily some of the best Mexican cuisine I’ve had in the area. The queso con chorizo is an absolute must try rich, savory, and downright addictive. Pair that with their excellent prices, and you’ve got a winning combination. If you love a good deal, Taco Tuesday is unbeatable, and the 2 for 1 margaritas are reason enough to keep coming back. Beyond the amazing food and drinks, the service is top-notch. A special shout-out goes to Nancy, our absolute favorite server and someone we ask for every time we visit. She always greets you with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. Her hospitality comes naturally she remembers your order from week to week and consistently goes above and beyond to make every visit memorable. Delicious food, great drinks, unbeatable value, and outstanding service Cinco De Mayo never disappoints and is guaranteed to impress. Highly recommended. 🌮🍹Daniel runs a great restaurant. Like a fine tuned well oiled machine. Keep up all the great work.

Pancha Carlos and Danny are the best! I work right down the street and for lunch I come here. You'll never get a nicer staff and pretty environment anywhere else. The California burrito is bigger then your face! I usually get the Aztec tacos which are just as good I highly recommend coming here for a good cheap burrito

Overall Recommendation: Highly recommend this establishment and its wonderful atmosphere. Ambiance: The interior is stunning—tall ceilings, bright colors, and abundant plants create a fantastic, airy vibe. Food: The food arrived quickly and was delicious. The Carnitas tacos are a must-try. Service: Service was exceptional. Manager Dany was particularly noteworthy—responsive, attentive, kind, and frequently checked on our table to ensure satisfaction

The atmosphere is okay but a bit too much of a bleach smell. The food is good solid Mexican with a nice variety on the menu. The service is extremely friendly and helpful. Give it a try!

I eat here quite often. I actually really like the food. But I have never been there and they did not mess up my to go order. This enchilada dinner. It’s supposed to have three enchiladas. It has two. Very clearly on the phone. I told her I want two beef and one chicken. This is a enchiladas Verde. Really good food but they need to fix this problem because it happens every single time we order.

I went here on Halloween night with some friends, and initially it wasn’t a bad experience. The restaurant was nearly empty but it took a long time to get attention usually and drink refills weren’t that common. Didn’t think too much of it since it’s Halloween, whatever. But then I get home and realize I was charged twice. Then not only did I find out I was charged twice, they manually entered the tip twice as well. I would not go back here and I am very disappointed in the dishonest business practices that I experienced. The other Cinco De Mayo locations in Jax are better in every aspect. Do better.
