Cinco de Mayo Albans Reviews
I recommend this place is really good. The meat has a very good flavor. I tried the Steak quesadillaschicken tacos, and 🥩 tacos. I’ll give it a 10 out of 10.
One of the best birria tacos I’ve had. I’ve had a lot. Super fresh. Packed with flavor. Fast and friendly service. A must visit and I don’t do a lot of reviews.
Fresh and delicious. People working there super nice and helpful. It is literally a window you order at and there is no place to sit, so just be prepared to take it somewhere to sit down to eat.
Flavorful and wonderful. Take out only and as big as a closet, but the food is so authentic. Was visiting NYC and exactly what we hoped from a place like this. The guy behind the counter is a kind soul too.
I've created a mini fan club for this place through introductions. Staff members exceeded our expectations. This place won't overcharge you like others nearby. This place serves food that stands apart locally. The place delivers consistently.
Trust this recommendation and go to this restaurant today. Nothing surprised me about the flavors. I enjoyed the comfortable, friendly vibe. They're inconsistent with warmth but consistent with service. I definitely would love to come back here and try out other dishes.
This restaurant impresses every time. Staff display kindness and problem-solving skills. Their dishes taste noticeably good. They serve generous amounts at reasonable costs. Cinco de Mayo very consistently delivers joy.
The restaurant is literally a window. You order outside and there are no tables to sit at. However the food is amazing. I got the chicken quesadillas and you get 4 normal sized quesadillas for $13. The quesadillas were cooked perfectly, soft tortilla and not greasy. Would definitely come back but best to avoid on a super hot day. The wait is short and there is small table seating across the street. If you can’t get a table there is some public, there are some free plazas nearby.
One word…two languages… DELICIOUS/DELICIOSO! It’s a take out restaurant with an amazing authentic Mexican street food menu. I ordered and enjoyed 3 tacos Al Pastor, chips and guacamole. $20 bucks! Great value and taste. Great flavors and also nice service. The gentleman took my order and fulfilled it perfectly and was very friendly and personable. With so many places to choose from in the City, you should definitely choose this place!
It's only a take out place and they were really quick, despite having many orders. I got a burrito bowl, which was good but didn't quite make it to the top tier. The steak in a bowl tasted really good, but everything came together didn't blow me away. Overall, it's a nice option, but be prepared to struggle to find a seating space across the street.
Attention is something that one values when arriving at a place, they seem that the last thing they want is to follow The cost of the product would be fine if the food were at 100, but a burrito with carrot and peas?????????? I would say that a burrito is the worst thing I could buy in this place.
Unfortunately, my visit to Cinco de Mayo was not a good experience. The service was very unprofessional, and it was difficult to communicate with the staff, which caused unnecessary delays. We waited nearly half an hour just to be acknowledged. The food was average at best and did not meet expectations at all. Considering the long wait and poor service, this place was a letdown. I won’t be coming back.
I had a very disappointing experience at Cinco de Mayo. The customer service was really poor, and communication was a big issue, which made ordering frustrating. We were made to wait almost 30 minutes before getting any help, even though the place wasn’t that busy. On top of that, the food was not very good and definitely not worth the wait. Overall, the service and food quality need serious improvement. I would not recommend this place based on my experience.
