Stopped in for a quick lunch. We had the Nacho Supreme and chips and salsa. The chips were fresh cooked. The salsa was very good. It was not very spicy yet had the old style Mexican flavors. The nachos were ok. They were soggy on the bottom but the chicken and beef toppings were flavorful. The best part of the dining experience was the staff and atmosphere. There was Mexican music in the background and the decor reminded me of eating at a traditionally Mexican. restaurant. It was a good experience and We would recommend it to anyone who asked. We will definitely return again. read more

Cinco de Mayo - Inside of restaurant - Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Food is very good and staff is extremely kind. But the food is very greasy and heavy and..... Still very good just a slight warning to make sure not to go to a movie afterwards. read more

Ordered my food through grubhub only when I arrived at the location they said they had shut off grub hub and had "no idea how your order went through". Placed my order, was not given an estimated time as to how long it would be just "soon". So I went back in approximately 15 minutes later to ask and was told "like 30 more minutes". Went back in 20 minutes later because my phone died and my food was ready. I have no idea how long it was sitting there but my ice cream was COMPLETELY MELTED by the time I got home and the food itself was cold. I'm pretty angry about the whole situation. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican in Westminster. Since that other place (papa slow service) moved, its quality and service are garbage. I can't believe how fast the service is at cinco de mayo and how friendly they were. We were also seated immediately on a Saturday night. My drink ran out and I was offered another right away. I had vegetarian fajitas and my wife had vegetarian chile rellenos. Both were delicious. The guacamole is good as well. Serving size was perfect. read more

Totally saved a family celebration in February. We had reservation at Rock Salt who after 40 minutes still had not seated us. We called Cinco and even though they were busy, we were greeted with a fully set table for 7 with appetizers and drink as we walked though the door! Cinco saved the day! Food was wonderful and service was outstanding! Thank you ! read more

Well it's a first $17.99 for chicken fajitas and no quacamole? I've eaten at Mexican restaurants around the USA and this is a first...how damn cheap are these guys.? Westminster you deserve better but do not know better. Also how are you going to price steak the same price as chicken? read more

Whoa the prices are so high! Food is good ,parking is good. Great Gluten Free choices. They really should expand It is very crowded and not a lot of tables. I saw a few families leave the other night because the wait was so long. I felt $12 for Guac is extremely high. Anything with Shrimp is over $15 dollars and if you get an alcoholic beverage expect high prices as well. They food is a little heavy as well but otherwise the food is fantastic. I think they should consider expanding! The restaurant obviously is well loved! read more

My husband and I came tonight, first time ever. We both had the dip trio to share and also their special (which isnt on the menu). Everything was to die for! Our waitress was also really great and friendly as was all the staff. The only things we didnt like was the tamale was alittle bland, music outside was a bit louder, and trying to move through the restaurant to sit outside was a bit hard. We will definitely be returning. read more

Best Mexican chicken soup, loaded nachos and churizo with chicken tacos around. Negra Modelo cerveza on tap is s huge bonus. Looks similar to Mezcal in Owings Mills, but food is a lot tastier in my humble opinion. Reasonably priced. read more

Great place - been many times and they deserve 5 stars all around. Friendly staff and super fast kitchen wow like a Ferrari !

Consistently delicious! Not too spicy but flavorful. The food is fresh and the service is consistent, friendly, and we are very pleased each time we go. read more

first time here based on recommendations and reviews. Went on a Saturday night about 8pm, no wait, greeted by very friendly staff, waiter was great to help me navigate some food based on food allergies. Salsa and chips were good, came out quick, added hot sauce to the salsa tho, must have been a mild recipe. Food was good, could have used a little kick was kind of bland but was nice ambiance, xfinity wifi, was able to sit and watch a movie on my phone while i ate. Got the chicken burrito, wish included fries were something more mexican like more rice and beans or another type of side. I will go back, try something new next time. read more

Really not a fan. This was the second time we gave the place a try. Service was very good, especially for as busy as it was, but the food was far from par. We started with the table side Guac, which was a really large serving and nice and chunky, but terribly bland. My daughter's first words were "This takes really different". Everyone except my youngest ordered enchiladas, which were served lukewarm at best. The quesadilla my daughter ordered was almost cold. She barely ate anything. As much as we hate sending food back, we would have, had we not been in a hurry. I think what really surprised us was the cost. I really think the food could have been A LOT better (or at least warmer) for the money. Everyone else seems to love the place, but I highly doubt we'll be back. read more

Loved this restaurant the first time we went. We recently got carryout and I will never go back. Took forever to get someone to answer the phone. Drove 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back to find out that they rang our order in wrong and my vegetarian meal was chicken fajitas. I ended up eating frozen pizza on Mother's Day as my "special" meal. Besides that, my husband's meal had to be straight out of the refrigerator because it was ice cold when the rest of the food was still warm. I contacted them through their facebook page in hopes they would at least apologize, but they read my message and then ignored it. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I don't like Mexican food, but if you do, this restaurant is pretty great. I love the guacamole they make right in front of you. It is interesting to watch them make it and it tastes great. Like I said, if you like Mexican cuisine, than you will most likely enjoy this restaurant. read more

Very good food and wide selection. Was a little disturbed to see trash and how dirty it was in the back when I went to the bathroom. Otherwise, their food is great. read more

This place is some what new but in no way sis better than Papas! I had a chicken burrito and my girlfriend had another burrito. My Chicken slightly tasted like Japanese hibachi! My girl friends had what appeared to be like very slimy pork and hard to any ranchero sauce in or on it. The rice tasted like uncle bens Mexican rice. Had no spices or hardly any flavor to it. It's a shame a new restaurant has come in and can not even cook authentic Mexican food. The only thing we enjoyed was the chips and salsa. Here we come Papa Joes! read more

Have been here once for lunch and once for dinner. Both experiences were enjoyable. This place is very clean and cheery with an upbeat and attentive staff The homemade chips are thin and crispy and their salsa is very flavorful. They have a tasty cheese dip, and great margaritas with a special kicked up jalapeno margarita. Service was prompt and all our entrees were delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

My wife and I ate here for the second time yesterday it was as good as the first time the pork tacos are out of sight as are the nachos Anything we ever had was excellent The service is 5Star they are always friendly and very quick with the food service We would highly recommend them By the way the margaritas are outstanding read more

Boring! Nothing special about the food or the service here. It is way too americanized for our liking. Nice atmosphere and wide menu but the food is bland and unexciting. I wanted to take it back in the kitchen and season it myself. Having lived and worked in mexico I was hoping for more authenticity and some knock you out flavors. Probably won't go back as their are better places in the area. read more

Great food, poor service!! We love their tacos, but not the service we receive when placing the order. The person that takes orders isn't polite at all, and always try to charge for every single thing, even if you ask to have some of the ingredients on side. We are not going back for now read more

Awesome experience! Will come back and this will become a regular haunt for us. Fantastic service, yummy food and nice atmosphere. The bartender was hopping....and he did a great job! Everyone was nice, it was clean, and they have CHEESE DIP! Every Mexican restaurant should have cheese dip...and theirs is yum! Westminster needed a place like this! read more

Cinco de Mayo - The gods watch over the bar at Cinco de Mayo! - Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Westminster. My family and I come here often and we are never disappointed. One of the highlights is the guacamole that is made table side. This is great because it's fresh and you can have your guacamole just how you like it, such as without any salt. I really enjoy their enchiladas and their tacos. I recently had a chimichanga from them and I really enjoyed that as well. I've also had their chile Rellenos, which is not like other chile Rellenos. It is a poblano pepper that is stuffed with cheese and sauce but is baked, while most places fry theirs. I do like this change, however the chile relleno is very spicy, so if you like spicy things. It is definitely for you. Service is usually quick, but it's is a small restaurant, so it can loud easily. It still has a lively feel to it though, and you can still hear the conversation your dining party is having. read more

Don't. Please don't. Everyone at the table sent their meals back. (I would have written this sooner but spent too much time throwing what little I ate) The check came to $120. Seems fair they took off an incredible $15 for all the meals we couldn't eat. Save your money go to Taco Bell. read more

This place isn't bad. Table side guac. Yummy choripollo tacos! They really are good. I shoulda known something was off. I mean really. I rate a Mexican place based on a single dish. However, I think this place really is a chain. Atleast 3 stores and another in 2016 coming. I didn't know that 3 min ago. Being the case I had to take away a star. As was said below, I like to give my (limited) money to local spots vs. other place laden with corporate jackassery. PAPA, can you forgive me? Lo Siento! I'm coming home! read more

A solid four star for you! Muy cumpleaños! Carla and I came here a few months ago. I didn't even have to order, a young man brought up out free chips, which we loved! I didn't even know that they served free dinner here but will be back. Tried out a bit of español! LOL. I don't think they understood me. My recommendation is that everyone Tacar to estudiar espanol because it makes the experience more authentic. I like the decor and the bathrooms and are very nice and clean. Well at least they were before Carla! Lol. read more

Ground beef was very salty with not much flavor. The beef tips in the burrito were dry in my opinion. The chicken was very tough in the chicken avocado bowl. Overall not bad just not as good as I hoped for the price. read more

Great Mexican food. We ate there a few nights after getting back from Mexico, and the food was almost the same, if not better, than on our resort. The wait is never long, the place is beautiful and clean, the food is great, the bar is nice, and the drinks are generous and well made. If I could make any suggestions, I wish there were a few more exotic tequila options at the bar, and while the hostesses are very nice and understanding, their reservation policy might do well with a slight loosening. But there are super minor qualms. We still eat here every chance we get. read more

Atmosphere rocks and the food is fantastic! Prices are slightly higher here than other Mexican places locally but I'd still recommend! I got the veggie quesadilla and it was PERFECTION! read more

Best Mexican in town! (Not that there are many options). For the most part, authentic. Ten times better then Papa Joe's! I've had the tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas and Chile Relleno (my favorite!!) and it was all amazing! Don't miss out on the simple "cheese dip" in the beginning too!! Gets rather busy during the evening, and can get a little loud, which really just attests to the popularity. Service could be improved, but isn't horrible. read more

Came here with a friend because it was Sunday and Papa Joe's was closed. I must say we were impressed. She ordered a blended hypnotic margarita that was phenomenal (definitely recommend trying it!) I had the Viagra margarita on the rocks- also good. They are not stingy on the tequila which made us very happy! Food was also great. I had the pollo chipotle and loved it. Only complaint is that food was a tiny bit slow to come out, but the place was packed and the chips and salsa kept us happy while we waited. Overall great experience! read more

Dude. I don't usually leave reviews. But this place deserves one. Every staff member was polite and helpful. Service with a smile. The food was exceptionally good. Blows other local mexican places out of the water. Our waiter filled my Pepsi before it was even empty. Talk about top knotch ! I'll be back for sure ! read more

It was my first time here and it is a must try! The staff is very friendly and quick. The food came out 10 minutes after we ordered and it was amazing!! The El favorito is a favorite of mine and I totally recommend it. read more

Cinco de Mayo - Bars Near Me - Westminster, Maryland

Very good Mexican restaurant. Staff was friendly and fast. I am a Chimechunga addict. I tried the steak tip Chimey and it was delicious. They pile all the extras on top, and I prefer them separated (cheese, sour cream, guacamole, etc.). Besides that, it was all good. Even the salsa that comes with your complimentary chips has just the right heat. read more

Here for the first time with the family. In 16 years of marriage, we have never eaten at a Mexican restaurant. I had to stop at Michael's and was in a bit of a time crunch so we stopped in. Everything was yummy, fast and friendly! (And spicy just the way hubby likes it!!) read more

If I was not accompanied by my cousin and her friend I would have left after my first cocktail. The girls wanted margs so I decided to stick around. Ordered Don Julio shots with salt and lime and they brought me a cup with a half shot of tequila brimmed with salt. Also the T-Bone was about as worn out as my x gf. read more

Popped in for lunch. Seated right away. The ambiance was festive. The food was MUCHO BUENO!!!! price tag? 5.99 plus drink and tax. I'm coming here again!!! read more
