This place looks very pretty from outside and inside also very clean. Each table has covered with paper on the table cross. Food wwas delicious! Portion was perfect not too small not too big. We went to eat lunch. Some people came to pick up the food inside was only us. The parson working there was very nice friendly, and care for us. Played nice pop and salsa music. I had a pretty good time. We will come back again for sure! read more

Decided to try again after some time. Still not so good. The Menu sounds fantastic. The food does not live up to it. So, I decided to the try Barbacoa De Res. Read the description. What it really is shredded beef in a little bit of tomato concoction. No visible garlic, but maybe could taste some powder. Not a hint of cilantro, not even cumin. A wet bland mess. The Paella was Ok and rice and beans are really good, big deal. Lost us for good. read more

I forgot to take a picture. But honestly steer away. It's a steal. Spent 37. On to chicken fajita orders with two sprites. They should have said it was an appetizer or snack literally the portion for a $12. Plate was sad. Now let's talk about quality... The chicken looked as if it was boiled in water with spice. They had more onions and peppers then rice and beans and I even had onion peel (the thin paper one that covers the onion) in my plate. I had more onion peel than rice. It was a last minute 9pm order because it's quarantine I was doing laundry at home didn't have time to cook but wow how I regret this order. This restaurant deserves to evaluate their mission and goal in the restaurant business truly a disgusting and unorganized business. Feel bad writing this review don't want to seem like a negative Nancy but the only positive thing about this restaurant was that the two sprite cans were $1. And they were cold. That's it. Steer away! Beware. read more

This place must be a joke!!! We ordered via seamless/grub hub and 1:30 hour later and no call from them and they didn't pick up! I literally called the restaurant 15 times... 201.947.4780 the worst ever! Heres our order # just in case Cinco De Mayo thinks im joking #1854703261 and we got charged for it and still no food. I should've read my fellow yelpers first!!! read more

Cinco De Mayo - Literally called no food still worst delivery and they didnt puck up any of the calls. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Biz has been around for ages. Food is decent for around THIS area. If you want the reeealll deal, you'll have to go to Washington Heights. Anyways, guac and chips, chicken enchiladas with creamy supremas sauce, pork adobadas with extra sauce (squeeze of lime) and legit horchata. That's all you need. read more

Excellent customer service, it is BYOB but a liquor store is within 100 feet. Awesome food and even kept our beer on ice for us. Literally 2 Minutes off palisades parkway, a very easy on and off. I am a fan and will definitely return read more

Me and my gf got food delivered for the first time from Cinco de Mayo. We loved the food! I got fish tacos with black beans and rice. The fish tacos were awesome! The fish was fried perfectly and the pineapple and cheese complimented it so well. The black beans were seasoned to perfection and the rice was very good. She had the chimichangas with pinto beans and rice. The chimichangas were cooked perfectly and were very hearty. The beans and rice were very good. The food was a very good price, too. The only reason it's not 5 stars is because the delivery took a very long time. I do still highly recommend this restaurant. I'm from San Antonio, TX and felt this food was very authentic. read more

Deserves 5 stars. Our most recent order was amazing and delivered in less than 30 minutes to Englewood (bordering Tenafly). That soup was awesome and the steak quesadilla was perfect! read more

Horrible. Food not worth money don't waste your time. $23 for a platter with barely any rice or beans. $15.95 for a chicken burrito with no chicken. It did not taste good at all. read more

This place is a hole in the wall at the edge of englewood cliffs and fort lee. This place has genuine Tex-mex food that is delicious. Their L.A. Burrito is oven baked and the cheese on top is melted perfectly. Their drink was a combo of banana, blueberry, mango, and pina colada. They use 100% fruit juice as well! I will definitely be back here to try their fajitas. read more

Tried Cinco De Mayo for the first time and it was great! The service was amazing, staff was really friendly, quick, and had the quality to back them. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it came with all the fixings (guac, sour cream, salsa, hot sauce, chips, etc.) which many places don't offer at a good price. Best of all of it was a great size, and I was able to split it for two. Definitely will be coming back and try more off of the menu! read more

Ordered Take Out during a visit up here with some friends. The food has pretty good flavor, our order taker was very nice. He grabbed us another seat as we waited for our food. Very attentive when taking our order and gave us chips and salsa. I ordered the special that day, the Chicken Diablo and it was delicious. I just wish it were as spicy as I expected it to be when he asked me "you want it spicy" it was just a regular tomato sauce. My friends really liked their food, one got fish tacos and my other friend ordered a Steak Burrito, all good. I plan on dining in the next time, and what it looks like it could BYOB, so that's a great time. read more

Let me start by saying I don't particularly enjoy Mexican food. I've never been to Mexico, not even for the college spring break in Cancun experience. What probably turned me off from Mexican cuisine were the culinary abominations disguised as tacos served at lunch time during elementary school. That, and I grew up near the infamous (and now defunct) Fiesta Sunrise of Kitchen Nightmares with Gordon Ramsay notoriety. I had just finished reading a food blog about tacos, so I decided to try expanding my horizons and took a stroll to the the Mexican restaurant around the corner, Cinco de Mayo. The restaurant was practically empty the Sunday afternoon that I went, but there was constant activity at the counter with orders being sent out for delivery. You get a bowl of tortilla chips and pico de gallo to whet your appetite while browsing your menu. I already knew I wanted tacos, so I ordered tacos al carbon with carne asada. The food was OK. Maybe it's a combination of my lukewarm taste for Mexican food and perhaps having high expectations for an "authentic" Mexican restaurant (at least, more authentic than Chipotle I suppose), but I was sort of.... disappointed? No, that's not quite the word. The food was by no means bad, in fact, I gobbled down the entire plate rather quickly, but I was genuinely hoping that Cinco de Mayo would reverse my attitude towards Mexican cuisine. Unfortunately, it hadn't done so. On the plus side? Service was excellent. Maybe it was because it was a particularly slow day, but I felt well attended to and my server was very friendly and responsive. Would I come back? Yes, if I had company that particularly enjoyed Mexican food. On my own? Perhaps, though I think I should try other places first to get a better feel for how Mexican food is supposed to taste like. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Festive decor - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Took forever to get drinks and a menu. After receiving menu we sat for almost an hour waiting for someone to come back and take our order, ended up having to get up and ask someone to come take our order. Food was okay, but the service was horrible. Not to mention the wait to sit down. read more

Shrimp fajita was chock full of medium sized shrimp. That's the best thing I can say about my meal. The tortillas were warm and some nice guac came with the fajita. Overall, though, the meal was fairly tasteless. As an aside, the restaurant currently (18March 17) has a "conditionally satisfactory" inspection sign posted in the front window. Gave it a try tonight. Not planning to return. read more

Cinco De Mayo - Two best things about this restaurant: our server and this sign hanging on the wall (BYOB btw). Food was mediocre. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

They totally ruined our office Cinco De Mayo party. The restaurant didn't deliver on time and then showed up without the full order. We immediately called to tell them what they missed, and then kept telling us that the delivery person would be back in 5 minutes with the rest of it. 1 hour and 20 minutes later they finally showed up with the other items. We had to call 10 times to sort things out, and now the food was awful since everything was ice cold at that point. I waited 1 week to post this revue because I expected their manager to call us, and offer something.. ( a discount on a future order, an apology, something...) but we did not hear from them. This was more than a $350 order, and we deserved better treatment. We purposely chose to order from a local restaurant instead of ordering from one of the chain restaurants, thinking that our order meant something. Obviously it didn't. read more

What nonsense. There were two large tables of people on Mothers Day and only 1 server. I walked out without ordering. Shameful!

Ordered my dinner at 5. Never received the delivery. Called multiple times no one knows what's going on. The worst delivery service ever. NEVER ORDERING FROM HERE AGAIN. read more

Nice hidden Gem. Comes with free fresh warm chips and salsa. Food is delicious and not expensive. Would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food at an affordable price ! read more

It's been 3 years since I've wrote my last review. Loads has changed, one of them is us moving away from Fort Lee to Brooklyn. Still, with at least one hour drive each way, and us having about 5-8 Mexican restaurants around us in Brooklyn, CDM still beats the stuffings out of the taste of every dish on the menu. I can't describe what it is about this place, it's taste is unrivaled but the atmosphere, the ambiance, the location. It's homey, I feel part of the family without knowing too many people who work there. And yet, we still drive out there and will try to come even more so. I honestly thought that the places around very competitive Brooklyn would make me realize that CDM is above average, but coming back to the old friend made me realize how much Brooklyn scene is not all that. I can't give this place's food enough stars! read more

Not your average Mexican spot, this place is distinctly chic, with yummy scrumptious enchiladas and guacamole all in a perfectly recreated south of the border ambiance. ---------- Deliciosa comida, la horchata está rebuena (la jamaica también), venden jarritos y las mejores enchiladas. Prueben el caldo tlalpeño, de chuparse lis fingers. ----------- Back in English, make sure you taste these two natural drinks: 1.- Agua de Horchata (based on rice) 2.-Agua de Jamaica (pronounced háh-my-kah) More... You can find burritos everywhere here in the New York metro area, but this are huge (eat half and take half home). The menu is varied and they have good "specials" at great prices. This is my third visit so I can attest for some consistency. Ask for Arturo, he knows about Mexican food ! read more

Hate to write this review for a small business but i had a terrible experience. There was an unclean smell walking in. Ordered 3 crispy tacos (Tacos Doridos) and they were definitely the worst beef taco I ever had. The beef was oily and dripping orange-ish grease, making the stale taco shells soggy. Lettuce was cut salad size so it wouldn't fit in the taco. Service was slow, we had to ask for the chips and salsa and water. There was only 3 tables including us so they weren't too busy. The salsa was also pretty bad. Bland, liquidy and large chunks of partially cut vegetables. read more

They have delicious food. The main dishes are good and deserts! Kids meals could be better

Prices were good, portions were good. I'm a very happy camper. I ordered from here about 2 weeks ago. I was craving Mexican, but didn't feel like driving out. I had to get two dishes since minimum for delivery is $15. I got myself a steak quesadilla and empanadas for my coworkers. I didn't get to try the empanadas but they told me it was really really great. I can't wait to order from here again. Hopefully next time I can order for more people so we can try different dishes. read more

Order from here if you like food made from arm pit based ingredients. Do yourself a favor and order from Taqueria Los Gueros in Englewood. 100 times better in every way / in every dish. This place is run by people with a selfish pipe dream that probably think the customer is wrong. Do yourself a REAL favor and NEVER ORDER FROM HERE. Disgusting food. read more

Yup tried a second time and this place is just gross. Cold rice and beans that may have been cooked then frozen then reheated for 3 mins. Ice cold when delivered. Got tacos that were so soggy couldnt even eat the shell had to eat the inside with a fork. The enchilladas were cold and not very tasty. Delivery was 30 mins late. Wont be ordering again read more

This place had left a menu at the b/f's place stating they delivered...we decided to hit them up instead (my way of checking out the joint to see with what I was working with....real Mexicans or not) & order to go. Place is definitely run by Mexicans, HOWEVER me thinks they've gotten too comfy bamboozling the 'gringos' with the flavors. Ordered: -queso fundido con chorizo (baked cheese w/chorizo & corn tortillas) -enchiladas verdes de camaron (shrimp enchiladas in tomatillo sauce) -carnitas adobadas (pulled pork) -an horchata As stated in Richard U's review, I'm in agreement that the salsa is too watery as was the green salsa my enchiladas were baked in. The yellow (yes, yellow! not even authentic red rice) rice & black beans (yes, black beans...not even pinto style!) had no flavor whatsoever. The horchata was made with concentrated syrup, the taste wasn't that bad, but the fact that it was from concentrate bummed me out. The queso fundido was pretty much a sad amount of cheese melted over 2 sausages split in half. I kid you not, when I saw that, I yelled out loud: "WTF is *that*?". I was so disappointed at the poor & lame attempt at the queso fundido (by my brethren, nonetheless!) that one bite for me was enough to leave it alone. The shrimp enchiladas verdes was something my little cousin could probably cook better & the shrimp stuffing was tasteless as well. I pretty much left a good 2/3's of it alone. The b/f's pork was not done 'adobada' style as the menu had indicated. It was chunks of pulled pork in green sauce with grilled onions, etc. It did look good, however the b/f stated that if he had known from the get-go that this particular dish is supposed to be eaten with tortillas (no forks or knives), he wouldn't have wanted to, too much fat on the meat. Overall, I was deeply disappointed. Moreso, 'cause they were such nice people...and the maduros that came with the carnitas dish were on point. But in what world do Mexicans serve maduros with any of their dishes? Oh, that's right, *only* in the east coast. I doubt I'll be going back. read more

Waited two hours for delivery of cold food. Attempted to call them for ETA and seems they preferred to simply not answer the phone. Should have known this would end poorly after they were rude to my wife when she placed the order. Avoid at all costs - simply horrible human beings. EDIT: Food was not only cold, but tasteless, and they forgot half my order (but charged for all of it, naturally). Couldn't call them back because, again, they were picking up their phone, and to top it off the delivery guy didn't even both to apologize. As if two-hour delivery windows are the norm for takeout. Ass. read more

I am completely baffled by the amount of negative reviews for this Mexican/Tex-Mex style eatery. What My wife and I placed an order for delivery last night. Food arrived very quickly (around 35 minutes) considering we live about 20 minutes away from the establishment. We didn't order anything too crazy, just tacos with chicken, beef empanadas and an order of guacamole with chips. They also gave us free chips with a bunch of salsa which was very nice. Everything was very good with generous portion of all items ordered. Excerpt for the empanadas...I should have ordered 2 portions. This is not by any means the fault of the restaurant, my wife just ate them all! She is a big fan of empanadas. But, I forgave her and all is well again. Plus she gave me most of the churros. I absolutely loved the Churros con Helado (a sweet Mexican pastry with ice cream, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream)! P.S. Being the only Tex/Mex restaurant in the area allows this place a little leeway. I mean maybe if your $20 meal from a storefront restaurant/delivery place isn't the best "Mexican Food" you've ever had, you should probably step back and re-examine the situation before leaving a one star review and scaring the white people. : ) read more

While my car was being re-tired across the street, I stopped in here for lunch. The pollo al diablo was absolutely delicious. That's all I had, so I'll just quote from their menu, as beautiful as any of Shakespeare's sonnets: 123. Pollo al diablo ...................................9.95 (Mild to spicy) chicken cutlet filled cheese, scallions, mushrooms, jalapeños, tomato sauce, served w/rice and beans. read more

Oh Cinco De Mayo...how I have tried and tried to like you :( Unfortunately this is the only Mexican restaurant in my area that delivers so I have had to order this several times and I am ALWAYS disappointed!!! Never again though!! I must admit that they are very nice when you place your order but the typical delivery time is over 1 hour. I have tried many things: fajitas, burritos, enchiladas and a couple of appetizers. My all-time worst memory is the shrimp dish, Camarones al Diablo. This was the only meal in my entire life that I took one bite of and proceeded to throw the entire dish in the trash!!! I am not super-picky so this was unbelievable! The tortilla chips and salsa are pretty much the best thing on the menu! Guacamole is decent but I can honestly make a better one myself. Extremely disappointing. read more

First and last time... Ordered online the steak fajitas, they said the food would take 35 minutes, took them an hour to deliver, then half the food was missing, called them to tell them that I didn't get half of our food and they said OH MY GOD, will send over right now, that right now took them another 40 minutes.. An hour and 40 minutes to receive my entire order right, nothing special about it.. Food was alright, there's definitely better around. Don't think will be ordering from them again. read more

I will never go back to place again, figured Id give it a shot since they sent us there menu. We placed an order for delivery and was told it was be about 35 mins. In 45 mins I called and asked where the food was and they said it was out for delivery, and then in an hour I called again and the guy said he would call the driver for me and call me right back. He never called me back in about 20 mins the driver called me and said he couldnt find the entrance to my building. Obviously when we finally ate the food it wasn't hot, so utterly unenjoyable. Rather than ccalling back and complaining to in the end just receive a discount for my next order, which I would never use because I would never go back. I just let it be. Now today I see on my credit card account they charged me 6 times. Now I have to deal with the nuisance of calling them and asking them to revert the charges. Worst $50 I have ever spent in my life. Food was mediocre at best, and cold by the time I ate it and then the extra headache. read more

They do delivery to most of north jersey and offer really healthy and wholesome options that feel like a home cooked meal. The portions are big so I never feel dissatisfied when I order. The guacamole is one of the best I've tasted, was really fresh and flavorful read more

The food here is good and fresh! However I stopped ordering from here because 1. It would always take 1 1/2-2 hours for delivery and 2. They messed up my order so many times. I think they need more staff! I ate in only once and years ago and the service was slow and the food took a long time to come out. I ordered delivery from here several times and all tools over an hour to almost 2 hours to get to me. Once the guy was lost and he didn't speak english and it was extremely irritating. I had to walk up the block to find him. I do miss the food but not worth all the mistakes and waiting. I know things happen but this was every time I ordered. read more

Cinco De Mayo - 353. Caldo Tlalpeno - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This place has the best Mexican food in the area. It blows the doors off of other Mexican places in the area that are rated higher on Yelp. It is a small hole in the wall type place. It does not have the decor of some of it's competition. However, the friendly service and quality food make up for the lack of ambiance. Give it a shot, you won't be let down. read more
