Looked like a good idea while visiting in the area. Not many cars in lot at lunchtime and staff friendly. The food came out fast but lacked seasoning for me. Very bland rice, beans. Chicken chimichanga. May be cooked for American palate, have had better Tex-Mex read more

My daughter and I loved Cinco de Mayo I can't believe they closed I'm not quite sure what's coming in the same building but we miss Cinco de Mayo so much that was our favorite I hope that it opens somewhere else and that we can continue to enjoy their wonderful cuisine friendly staff and great prices they are truly missed if y'all have any information about any of this please let us know read more

Fast service. We were seated with our order taken within 5 minutes. Great lunch speed. We loved the chips and salsa but it ended there. Our meals were extremely dry, oily and unseasoned. Dry like eating a bowl of fruit loops with no milk. Really bad. I've been here a few times but that was years ago. I don't recall the food being like this. Pretty sad. Overall a good price, fast service and clean restaurant. Sad that the food was like cardboard. read more

5 De Mayo Mexican Grill is a good choice for Mexican food if you are in the Brunswick, Georgia area and craving Mexican food. It is pretty much a no atmosphere type place, but for me, I prefer my Mexican food from places like this. I find the best Mexican food comes from these humble hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop type establishments rather than some fancy restaurant heavy on the ambiance. The food was good. I opted for tacos and I definitely enjoyed them. The service was friendly and it was definitely service with a smile I travel a lot for work and I probably eat Mexican food the most when traveling and I definitely enjoyed this particular restaurant. 5 De Mayo Mexican Grill is definitely a good option for Mexican food if you are in the Brunswick, Georgia area. Go check them out. read more

Flavorful food and personality filled employees!!! Every time driving by the place looks packed. Easy to see why. Locals know quality food. We had the ceviche, minus Mayo and it was filling and hit the spot. The choose your own plate comes loaded with a full plate of rice and beans. The chicken I. The tacos and enchiladas have flavor. The chili verde sauce has a kick to it! Salsa is in house made and you can ask for the spicier one. Margaritas are individually made so they are not watered down. read more

Authentic style Mexican food. Absolutely delicious this is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Brunswick. The prices are incredibly low and the food quality is top notch. read more

Came in real quick after a long drive exhausted and hungry. Chicken tacos always solves the hunger issue! These were delish. They come with rice and beans. Of course I only ate the tacos. They close at 9:30pm pretty early if you ask me. They serve all drinks from the machine, no can sodas, no can or bottle anything. No homemade juices or anything in that sort. The place is pretty big- the tacos were bigger than I expected, was only able to eat two. Deff. Will be back when Im starving and craving Texas style Tacos! read more

5 de Mayo special is the bees knees. Service could use a little improvement but that could be because I'm a gringo. Ambiance seems like it's not quite finished but I don't go there for any of those things I go for the food read more

The service was friendly and quick. The establishment was clean. Here's the kicker...the servings were huge, fresh and delicious. I got a burrito with tender tasty steak, rice, onions, tomatoes. My honey got the Texas styled nachos. The margarita was really good too! It was quiet (4:30 pm). We both took a half plate home. The fries are really good too! I'm pretty picky about my food, so I say this is a great place to eat. Steak BurritoTexas Style read more

The food was delicious, and in abundance, friendly service will go back definitely go back and become one of my favorite places to eat!

Always great food! Very clean restaurant, nice atmosphere and friendly service. This is the only place we order and go to for Mexican food

This place has hospitality like no other. We were in the mood for Mexican, so we headed straight to the yelp app to find a spot close. The first placed we went to told us they were only offering togo despite being open for another hour per their sign. 5 De Mayo was the closest option still open. We have driven by quite a few times and never thought to stop, but I'm so glad we did. The food was outstanding and the service was even better. Great prices and a very warm and inviting atmosphere. read more

Taco Tuesday experience Taste of food: Free chips and salsa as appetizer. Chips were warm and crunchy, and salsa tasted decent. Taco Tuesday $1 tacos only apply to chicken and beef tacos. In general, all the tacos were generously sized, and they did not skimp on the meat. The chicken tacos tasted way better than the beef. The chicken is some sort of pulled chicken that's soft and juicy. The beef is ground beef like you'd find at Taco Bell. Service: The restaurant was packed, and our waitress was busy servicing multiple large tables at the same time. She was friendly and did a good job of managing each table. Atmosphere: Overall the restaurant looks like any other Mexican restaurant in Georgia. When you enter, there is a bar area on the right, and general seating on the left. Drinks: My friends got the margarita and said they were wayyyy too sweet and syrupy. My water tasted fine. Dessert: The flan was also wayyyy too sweet...the sauce + Hershey's chocolate syrup + whip cream was overkill. It could've been fine with just a little sauce. Overall: I give 4/5 stars only because the tacos were $1, and they give free chips and salsa. It's just about average for Mexican restaurants in Georgia. I wouldn't go on a normal night without this deal. read more

Tacos el Pastor: probably their best dish. Generous portion and the meat was on point. Rice and Beans: very average, I didn't expect much anyway. Texas style Fajitas: good enough Lime Margarita: tasted like water with a sprinkle of flavor, I don't know what I expected. Our waitress was super nice, the overall ambience was welcoming and appealing. read more

Horrible, the guacamole too expensive and not flavor on, not even close to a Mexican flavor. Michelada, too spicy. I couldn't drink it. Dirty restaurant, The bathrooms smell bad. No paper toilet. Tables with dust and trash on the side. Terrible experience in middle of COVID-19 . Service the worst. No contact no patience. Nothing to come back. read more

Stopped here randomly while traveling through, the food was so good, it's like a typical Mexican joint but I ordered the Shrimp Quesadilla and it was top notch, will go back if I'm ever back in the area, great service too. read more

Were seated at a table covered by water. We had to ask for a rag to clean it. The food was quite ordinary... or a notch or two below. Not impressive at all. No reason to return. read more

Our server wasn't very accommodating my brother asked her for a certain burrito that he gets back home. Flour tortilla, fajita chicken and steak smothered in cheese with no veggies. She said she was unable to do that because it's not on the menu. In addition to this I wasn't super impressed with the serving of queso, and we even ordered a large dish to go with our chips. Later on we had to order another large dish. My parents both ordered the smothered fajitas and loved them. I ordered the arroz con pollo. It was delicious as well. Either way, the small issues we had were more nitpicking than anything. They could all be solved if management were to read this review. A large bowl should satisfy a family of four! (: & I don't see why that burrito couldn't have been made al carte. We still enjoyed our meals and this place earned 4 stars. read more

5 De Mayo Mexican Grill - Dinner for 4! So much food, and the price for adults about 80.00$. Not too bad. - Mexican Near Me - Brunswick, Georgia

food mediocre at best, BESIDES the quesadilla 10/10!!! mushrooms and and what is the mushrooms and green pepper were amazing in the quesadilla read more

I've been here before and it was always really fresh and good. This time not so much! I ordered Texas fajitas and it was brought out on a cold plate not in a hot pan. All the meat was dried out and cold. The others didn't like their food either. Will try other places before deciding if we ever go back. read more

Food was awesome and the portions huge. Wife said her margarita was good. Service was quick and pleasant. Have already recommended to friends. read more

Listen, probably the best around. Skip Mexican this trip. You're not missing much, however salsa is on point. Ambiance feels like an interrogation room. Bright! In your face. Decent service. But seriously keep moving. read more

I was really craving some Mexican, and 5 de Mayo did NOT disappoint. Their lunch menu offers great variety at a great price. I was able to get exactly what I wanted! Chips, salsa, queso: hard to mess that up! The trio was excellent. Basic rice and beans, but hit every spot. My soft chicken taco was also on point. Chicken was moist but not to the point where my taco was soggy. Excellent flavor. Tostada was also good, but maybe the only spot I see room for improvement. I am used to tostadas having a lottt of queso cheese on them, so this one seemed dry and cheeseless to me. Thankfully, I was able to add some of my queso onto it. Service was friendly and fast. I would have took a peak at the drink specials, but I wasn't offered a drink menu. As I was dining alone on a week day, I probably could've used one! Ha! I enjoyed meal and would definitely come back by for lunch or maybe even dinner and drinks! read more

Another great find in Brunswick/Jekyll Island! We were hangry after a very long and hot day on the golf course. This place was open later than some other Mexican restaurants and the outside was attractive. I'm so glad we stopped in! The salsa was really good! I'm super picky about salsa too. My son had a combo with chimichanga, enchilada and quesadilla with rice and beans for $9.99. Best deal in town. I enjoyed the shrimp fajita nachos and the strongest frozen margarita I've ever had! Holy cow that was a strong drink! Not sure if it was from the long day or my wimpy tolerance but it definitely hit the spot! Super friendly servers. The nice owner stopped by our table several times to check on us. Definitely on our list for our next beach trip! read more

I'll start with the good. Our server was absolutely amazing. So wonderful. The food, however, was just bad. I ordered a vegetarian taco salad; received a bed of lettuce with hot, oily veggies on top with what seemed to be a squirt of liquid guacamole. The shell was cold and a bit soggy. My guy didn't receive what he ordered- steak instead of beef. The steak was so tough and the fries were very dry. The salsa was okay. The decor could use some attention as well as a deep cleaning. To management- there's a lot of work to be done. As a vegetarian, please know that rice, vegetarian beans, lettuce, maybe some lightly sautéed veggies on top would be good. Beans and rice are the protein. It's pretty important to us. Lettuce and oily veggies alone is not only insufficient but very unappetizing. read more

Their big margarita is awesome! It comes in a huge glass and if you finish it, you get to keep it!

When dining at Cinco de Mayo our waiter brought me and my friends order of beefsteak with a spicy sauce. I enjoy spicy food, and my friend actually is a chef specializing in Mexican cuisine, and lived and worked in Mexico for 3 years. This food was so heavily seasoned that it phisically burned her mouth. Her entire face turned red, she was in pain. When confronted with this issue, the cook grinned at us as if we were stupid gringos who did not know real Mexican food. They did not make it right and refused to refund our money. Thier attitude was rude, wrong and insulting. Do not patronize this establishment, the do not know what customer service is all about. I would rate them a negative 10 on a scale of 10. Shame on you Cinco de Mayo read more

So we came early on Cinco de Mayo to beat the crowd and the service still wasn't great. The server pretty much brought whatever he wanted. The boyfriend ordered the supreme burrito and ended up with two regular ground beef tacos. He also requested Don Julio in his margarita, but the server gave him a double shot sans margarita. He then had to reorder the margarita; it was so bad that he didn't even finish half of it. My friend ordered a peach margarita three times only for the server to bring out a strawberry one. When she requested the peach one again it took less than 30 seconds for them to bring it out which meant they'd already had one ready to go or someone else sent it back. I ordered a small guac and queso and had to season the guac myself because there was no flavor. Same thing with the queso. Super watery and bland. read more

Al pastor tacos are delicious! We had a huge party of twelve people, they were so nice to us. We all had a good dinner. The al pastor tacos were ground pork and savory! They had lots of cilantro for flavors. The menu is huge, tons of choices. I liked the chips and salsa, too, free with dinner. They had good service and handled the big crowd like professionals. Parking is ample in the lot outside. read more

The service was awful! The server had an attitude from the moment that we walked in the door. We had never been there and needed a few minutes to look through the menu, and that seemed to be a problem for her. I ordered a cheese pizza for my daughter and they brought out pepperoni. My daughter wont eat pepperoni and I asked them to correct my order, as it was not my mistake. The server cut me off and said that they dont have cheese pizza. That should have been said when I asked for the cheese pizza and she said ok. The food was mediocre at best and pricey for the quality that we received. Very disappointed read more

Im from Texas and I know what real Mexican food taste like and this is not it. The food taste like f grade meat and no flavor, but the grade f meat. The beans were the only thing I could keep down and I think it came from a can. Please save your money and your tastebuds, because taco bell's food taste better.i can't believe Mexican people own this place. The only reason I give it 2 stars is because of Tadrea a very sweet and hard working waitress who made my meal enjoyable. Tip her if you come to this place anyway......... thanks Tadrea. read more

I took my 2 teenage children here the first time and the service was decent. The steak was kind of bland, tasteless really. My daughter really lived the chimichanga though. Their salsa is delicious too! Prices are fair and you get a reasonable amount of food for the cost. My 2nd trip was on a date. Apparently the chicken con carne is extremely spicy (per date) if you like it that way! I enjoyed the chicken better this time also. Recommendation...stick with the chicken over steak at this place for any flavor! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but alas, we won't be back. It wasn't busy, which should have been our clue. Hostess and wait staff were very friendly, place was clean, but the killer was that my food just had no taste. Hubby got the steak fajitas and they tasted good (a few really chewy pieces, but otherwise ok). I got the beef, chicken, cheese and bean enchiladas. The cheese enchilada was the only one with any flavor. Beef, chicken, beans and rice all tasted so bland. Too bad. read more

The salsa was good but I couldn't get a refill on chips. I asked for no lettuce on the tacos and was made to feel like a criminal when I sent them back. Will not return here. read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. Food tasted microwaved, I doubt the margaritas had any tequila in them, and fluorescent lights were horribly bright. Amazed this place stays open read more

We always have a good meal here. Big portions, not expensive. They offer $1 tacos on Taco Tuesday, and they are delicious. The staff is very friendly. We were even given our meal for free one time we visited because of how busy they were and how long we had to wait for our food. read more
