Ok so first, I am so happy to have another go to option before concerts at the Florida Theatre so thank you Cinco de Mayo for opening. Food was great! We had shrimp quesadilla and shrimp fajitas with black beans and they did not disappoint - especially fresh made black beans served with fresh made guac salad mmm mmm good! Beer was a bit pricey - $7.75 for Dos Equis (really???). And it was flat. So don't get that - and ask about the beer pricing before you order (not on the menu). Our server was so sweet! But overworked - noticed others standing around so better scheduling would help as you all get settled - especially with the concert crowd. Overall nice night we left very happily stuffed!

It's stinko doo Myoo as far as I am concerned Mexican food is not my favourite. Yet again Mexican food in Canada is a farce because Canadians do not like the heat

Was really excited to learn of a new Mexican restaurant opening nearby; very sorry to say it turned out to be just as underwhelming as all the others. Not sure why, but it seems that in the last 15+ years, it's become fashionable not to cook Mexican food with onions and seasonings. Sadly, you can buy Ortega Taco meals or even frozen Mexican meals at the grocery that have more flavor than the local restaurants, except Taco Bell. Bland food is not enjoyable. Onions are not that expensive, so I just don't understand this trend. Sorry our review is not what you were hoping for.

The food was fine, nothing to write home about. I am still on a quest to find halfway decent Mexican food in it around Jacksonville. Our order came out wrong and we also got overcharged $4 on one of the items we ordered. They were nice about it, but it took a long time to get our check so when we finally got it we were more than ready to leave so having to wait for them to reconfigure the bill was a little annoying. Not sure that I'd venture back down to this place, plus you have to circle to block a time or 2 to find a parking spot.

Great to have Mexican downtown. Food was good and the house margarita was also fantastic. Some booths have Vlviews of the riverVegetarian options: fairly Standard Tex Mex options

Just had my first meal and it was delicious! The price is also very affordable. It reminds me of a restaurant called Cha Cha’s that used to be on Baymeadows Rd.

We visited the new Cinco De Mayo downtown after they had only been open for one week, and really enjoyed the food! They didn't have any specials (we were expecting happy hour or a Taco Tuesday deal). Our waiter seated us right away and brought complimentary chips and salsa. You can tell the salsa was fresh because after being in the fridge leftover 2 days later it went bad. The salsa was just a little bit spicy, and the chips were warm. Loved it! Next time we will try their queso or guac too. The restaurant is spotless since it's brand new, and there is a huge awesome mural on the wall! This will be a hot spot before sporting events downtown. I didn't see a skinny margarita on the menu, but asked our waiter if they could make one. He agreed. My boyfriend got the house margarita (only $6.99!). The skinny margarita was not good at all. It was very sweet and tasted like orange juice with no alcohol in it. I actually really liked my boyfriend's house margarita much better. We ended up switching. Next time I may try a different type of marg. I got the vegetarian fajitas which came out sizzling hot! My boyfriend got the "special order #11" which was two burritos. He got one chicken and one beef. We both really enjoyed our meals, as well as the rice and beans. We finished the meal with tres leches cake (a slice big enough for 3 people to share). It was solid Mexican food in a comfortable restaurant. We'll be back!

New place, went for lunch, got the Nachos Al Pastor. Pretty good, not a huge portion size but that’s fine, wasn’t a huge deal but little pet peeve. The price on the online menu was less than they charge me, 13.99, versus 14.50. Still cheaper than ordering from Uber. (Call for takeout don’t order online through Uber)Bartender and lady who brought out the food were both really friendly and nice. Wish them all the best.

Just ate here tonight. I used to live in World Gold and always loved eating at the location there. Now I live downtown and I'm so happy to have Mexican food within walking distance. Food is excellent. I love their salsa and chips they bring out. I usually get a burrito with carnitas and it is excellent.
I am a regular because of frozen margaritas. If it weren't for margaritas, we probably won't come. Vegan tacos were awful and very salty that I couldn't eat. Other days, I had Mexican chicken tacos, they weren't good because they were salty and chicken were tough to eat. On Valentine's Day, I had fajita salad, it looked so good, but it was very oily that I couldn't finish. My favorite dish so far was green sauce chicken enchiladas. My boyfriend loves their nachos with steak. We may come back just because they serve margaritas.
