Came here as an out of towner; the first thing that hit me was how friendly the place is. The staff and locals made me feel very welcome and I loved the atmosphere. However, I actually came for the food, which didn't disappoint. OK, you're paying New York prices, but I've paid more in some places for a disappointing experience. The food here is delicious, well prepared and tastes authentic. Well done guys, keep it up.

Probably the best steak tacos I’ve had! It’s a nice little Mexican spot in Forest Hills and it’s always packed especially on the weekends. Loved the frozen margaritas as well (I do prefer the strawberry one). The steak tacos were cooked medium and it was just amazing, I had to come back the following week just to have it again. The service takes a bit of time but the food is worth it. They also give out free homemade salsa and chips which were really good too! Staff were nice and checks in on you as well. Highly highly recommend! Get the steak tacos. Take my word for it!

Food is always good. The later you go, the more crowded and noisier it gets. Great drinks too.

5 Burros (I know it's 5 Burro Cafe) never disappoints. My favorite thing to get is still the steak in any form. It's always delicious.

Food was excellent, easily 5/5. Ordered the burritos, which come with Mexican rice, refried beans, pico de gallo, guacamole. Price was around $24. The margarita was respectable. The restaurant space/environment was 3.5/5. It’s a restaurant with small space that gets crowded fast, I wish there was more real estate to work with. It’s easy to get bumped in your seat as people are walking by. On the plus side, there is nice decor inside.

We visited after too long of an absence and thanked our lucky stars as we got seated right away at this popular and bustling cafe! Even the hostess told us this was our lucky night as there is always a wait to get in. Yippee! While the place is on the small side and gets a bit cramped, it is such a a unique and welcoming place that allows you to feel instantly comfortable and relaxed. While 5 Burro's is well known for their frozen margaritas (they are fantastic) we opted for some Corona's (no draft beers, only bottles) and tequila shots. Complementary chips and salsa were bright to the table. We ordered the Mexican salad con carne with skirt steak-- a favorite go to that I have never gotten better anywhere. Their in house made dressing makes it so good. All was fresh and delicious. We loved picking some tunes to play on the jukebox. Service was super friendly and attentive. The restrooms were clean and well maintained. On street parking only. Can't wait to come back.

Good place to have a big meal and enjoy with your friends and family. Food tasted delicious. The portion of the food was big enough for a person. Had leftovers to take home for later snack. The atmosphere is perfect for casual dining. The restaurant was quite cold. It was a cold rainly day. The service was alright, although we had to wait for the waiter for a long time to get our check. The gratuity 20% was already included for Friday early dinner time at 5 for 4 people. Note: Lunch and dinner price is different, the portion of the food is different for lunch and dinner.

Great Mexican food and even better drinks! The Margaritas here are STRONG. Some of the best I’ve had! I was impressed with their chicken fajitas and quesadillas. The chicken nachos were ok, but a little burnt. I wouldn’t get them again. But everything else was excellent. Would definitely recommend this place!

Hostess was great! There was a line out the door; so we figured it must be good. Seated very quickly. Margaritas were fantastic & just what we were looking for. Complimentary chips & salsa served - the salsa was great but unfortunately the chips were stale (probably because they’re fresh made & not store bought full of preservatives- but still no fun eating hard chips!) The entrees were delicious & ample servings to say the least!! Wish they had more combo selections - I like enchiladas AND tacos, but had to choose 😩 only one. I guess I just have to go back again for the enchiladas!! Fun place. Recommend!!

Food is good, just a bit expensive. However, margaritas here are delightful! And Jess the seating hostess is the kindest and most beautiful personality there!

Back in October my old coworkers and I met at this restaurant to catch up as we all work at different places now. We ordered full meals, drinks and desert. A 5th friend came to join us, she was going to order a drink and we were told we needed to leave because there were people waiting for a table. They didn’t even allow us to stay in the bar. At that point we had 2.5 hrs in the table. We didn’t know there was a max time friend for a sit down. As we walked out, there was no one waiting for tables. It was a weekday! I enjoy the food but the way they kicked us out wasn’t it.

I followed the hype to try this spot. I can say I was pretty disappointed in the food. I don’t like that the burritos only have meat and guacamole and everything else is on the side. Then when I try to add stuff to the tortilla, it becomes too big and falls apart. Idk. Maybe next time I’ll try a different dish. But the atmosphere of the place was great. I really loved the vibe. Service was pretty good too. I’ll try it again one day.

Wait was too long. Food was 8/10, tortilla chips should have been better.. Ordered steak fajita, the meat was tender and juicy.

I was first introduced to this restaurant about 10 years ago. Every time my daughter and I finished watching a movie, we used to come to eat at this place. I moved out of the country for a few years and decided to come back to this place to celebrate my brother's birthday and try the delicious steak and frozen margaritas, but unfortunately, the lack of empathy, knowledge of customer service we received from the host and waiter was deplorable, did not enjoy at all the food. I hope they will take the corrections needed and wish you well 👍, but after being a loyal customer, I am forced to take my business to other restaurants.

The Actual worst Resturant I have ever been to. The service is horrible. All the workers were so horrible and dismissive. I think this restaurant got a little over their heads, they even said I used chat GPT to make my ID???? All the workers seemed drunk there. Sampson was so so rude I never want to return to this restaurant again. Do not recommend. There are so many better places on Austin street to depend your night. Please please do not come here.

$14 for a chips n salsa is crazy and a $10 “sharing charge” is absolutely nuts. The prices along with the long wait time and extremely loud environment would be worth it if the food was exceptionally good, but it’s not. I think the positive reviewers are just not aware of how very good Mexican food should taste since there’s not much here compared to the nearby neighborhood of Corona.

I’ve been here for a couple of years and although the waiters aren’t always the warmest. Today I had the worst experience with the shortest dude with glasses. Who made us feel bad for not ordering food. When in fact we did order food. Shorty did nothing than take our order had the audacity to charge us 20% tip. Don’t waste your time at this place
