This is a fun place to go. Lots of locals and university students. The place is colourful and vibrant with authentic music. The staff are nice but I would not say they move with any great pace not are they really trained. More of family vibe going on. The food was prepared well but was a bit on the bland side. But you get a lot for the price.

My 5-person party and I found this restaurant through Yelp. From the 2 orders of guacamole- one hot, one not- to the nachos to the entrees, birria, shrimp, pork, and beef, everything was great. One person at the party did not like their Caldo de Pollo, but otherwise, the service, food, and attention to detail guaranteed that anytime we are back in Albany, we'll be making a stop at Cinco de Mayo.

This was my first time ordering from them and I had the 5 corn tacos and they were absolutely delicious! I added cheese and sour cream to them. I also ordered the churros and they were equally delicious! Being here on business makes it hard to find good food sometimes but this restaurant was wonderful and I will order from them again before going home!

Looking for really tasty tacos! Look over this way because words cannot describe how delicious everything was. I walked in with a group of 5 and they sat us down immediately. The seating is limited ;however, if you come during lunch time you should not have a problem with waiting. I came for dinner once and the restaurant was packed but I only had to wait about 3-5 minutes. The ambiance was great with many plants on the wall and the menu is on the wall written in chalk! Let me talk about the service. The service is really fast. The way they handle a full restaurant is amazing. You may have to wait a bit for food, water or the check however is that not all restaurants. The overall time from sitting down to leaving is approximately 30minutes which is impressive. I would only have one hour to eat and I was never late to my meeting/class. The chips come out hot with sauces! The portion of the food was amazing and the price matches what you get. My weakness is tres leches cake and I would highly recommend that you try it after eating some epic tacos. Overall, I would come again to this restaurant if I am ever craving tacos.

Delicious from start to finish. Fresh, homemade chips and salsa, authentic street tacos. Sadly, no margaritas—but delicious lemonades (try the mango), and beer and wine. Busy place that seems to do a steady business.

I used to like this place. I tried their pozole because i missed home, but their pozole is just literally soup with red sauce. Also, they’re super slow. Expect to be waiting for at least 40 minutes,I recommend asking in advance how long they will take to bring your food.

I love this place. Best items on the menu, IMHO: enchiladas, tamales, and mole. Mmmm! Reasonable prices, cozy festive atmosphere and the nicest servers around.
