Cinco Taco Bar

Gabriel Delgadillo

Found this gem after shopping at Ross. I ordered some red chicken enchiladas and oh boy they were amazing!!!!!!! The red sauce smothered enchiladas were out of this galaxy. The combination of multiple flavors was insane. Will be coming here more often.

This place has very good food. If you want tacos/burritos/bowl it’s set up like chipotle so you can make your own. I ordered their Sopa Tapatia as I was craving soup and an order of chicken flautas. Their horchata is amazing! It’s the perfect sweetness to it. Definitely recommend checking this place out :)

Every Day Matters

***The best taco joint in the San Leandro/Hayward|Castro Valley area *** Lived in this area for years and have dined many restaurants and trucks selling tacos. This is my go to. They use hand pressed all natural tortillas (taco shells) that are made fresh for each order and are delicious. They have many topping choices. This visit I got three tacos with grilled chicken, rice, refried beans, onions, shredded cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, and topped with spicy salsa. After eating the first two I photoed the last one before gobbling it down - see the pic. OMG amazing...taco perfection! Zoom in on the pic to eyeball the nice flavorful chunks of meat they used. Plus they don't skimp on amount of food they serve. Priced at $3.95 each this was also a great value. I love San Leandro's Cinco Taco Bar and can't wait to return.

Delicious food!!! I enjoyed a massive veggie burrito with fresh grilled vegetables and guacamole. Lots of toppings to customize, the mango pico de gallo is fabulous! Can’t wait to go back and try the tacos with fresh tortillas.

Amazing food! Popped in the other day for a quick bite, and was blown away by the flavors of the fresh ingredients. Wife had a burrito and I had 3 tacos. Carne Asada, carnitas and the carne. Fresh made tortillas, made right in front of you! I will be back, again and again and again...

The hype is real. Tried Cinco Taco Bar for take out, upon a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. The food taste definitely holds true to their website description which is, "infusing old world recipes with a modern sensibility". Most important detail is that the tortillas are made to order which makes the food so extra. Melding of fresh ingredients really shine through. What I tried: Tacos Al Pastor Tacos Carne Asada Salpicon(beef brisket) Burrito Filled Cinnamon Churros w/Chocolate Sauce Everything was so tasty, well balanced and well portioned. Meal was perfectly completed by the most out of this world Churro, which managed to be that awesome and still warm after surviving a 20 minute car ride in a covered plastic container!

The Tacos ive had in a long Time! Love how the tortillas were freshly made in front of me. Definitely going back.

Absolutely delicious food. Meat is soft and well seasoned. The salsa verde is sweet, smoky, and a little spicy (there are spicier options). Love the roasted peppers and onions too. Great service too, he even asked if I'd like to try a taste of the carnitas before I put it in my burrito, just in case. It's also pretty cheap all things considered, if you're looking to compare it to something like Chipotle, there's literally no contest. If you're in the area and you have a choice to come here or somewhere else, if the rest of it didn't sell you, the vibe is pretty chill here too. Small shop, big heart. 5/5 100%

Definitely can say the best taco bars in San Leandro hands down! Come back after 3 years and I asked for a recommendations, Tony said get the fries burrito! Let’s say you should try it one day. Appreciate the great service he given me from the start of walking in.

I went in with my wife tonight and got quick service. The gentleman serving was very friendly, gave us healthy portions, and just created a great vibe. I definitely want to come back to the business based on that alone. Once we actually got into eating the food we found it was tasty and well seasoned. I really appreciated the option for MANY more toppings than you would get at any other “watch as it’s made” taqueria. This may easily become my preferred taqueria!

Incredible food! Fresh, tasty and plenty of it! We are definitely going here again.

Way better than Chipotle for basically the same price. Way more authentic and fresh. Service isn’t the friendliest all the time but they’re not rude and the food really is that good. Keep in mind you probably want to go because the place is tiny and it gets busy on the weekends.

I spend too much money at Chipotle. Ever since getting great service here, I'm switching to here for my customizable burrito needs

Small space. But clean and welcoming. Food was good. I got the $13 enchilada plate. It’s pricey for Mexican food, but that’s life in the Bay Area now. The tacos are good but small, so you might have to order several to be full. It’s sort of Chipotle style in the custom ordering process as you tell the servers what you want on your tacos or food plate, although the food quality is authentic and taste better than the Chipotle corporation. This felt like a more modern style Taqueria. I would definitely come back to eat here.

Good fresh food, ok atmosphere (small, not a lot of indoor seating), great service. We will be back

Hella snacking. Nice portions. Free chips . Nice people. Hidden gem in the Bay Fair area.

They're carne Asada is chewy and dry. And sometimes it takes forever and ever to get your order in. Besides the asado they do some other things. Pretty damn good. Like their pastor and carnitas. Freshly made tortillas are good as well

Word of warning: they charge DEBIT cards a ‘CREDIT CARD 4 percent’ so the menu price is not what you will pay unless you pay cash. Food has gone downhill in flavor over the years. The only thing that has stayed pretty good is the Horchata but the last two times I asked for it they forgot I asked for it for some reason and I didn’t realize they didn’t charge me for it until looking at the receipt and I didn’t feel it was worth swiping my card for

Food is delicious. But in my experience the staff doesn't understand English and they answer phones to take orders and they act like they understand. I got there to pick up my order and she did not have it ready. Doesn't apologize ... Then acts like she will get my order ready at that moment, for 4 tacos it was $45 ale carte! I said forget it and walked out . There are too many taco places with better service.

Very expensive. Not enough food. Customer service is horrible. Marquette should pick another career. I have recommended you to family and friends and they were disappointed and will never go again. I went in last weekend and Marqueta was very rude and I have been going there since it opened but the last 3 times have been a horrible experience.
