This is a restaurant I will never try again. The food was absolutely inedible. We should have stopped and canceled our order after the apps. We got the elotes off the Cobb. It was so overcooked the kernels of corn were the consistency of rubber. Whatever the sauce was sour and tasted foul. We each ate two bites and decided to just let it go. We also ordered the taquitos and the were just bland and greasy. Also stopped with two. Just a complete disappointment. My husband ordered the only burrito on the menu that was offered as a hand held. As you can see by the picture it was open and a sloppy mess. He took one bite and said he was good and didn't want to risk eating anything else. I got three different tacos chicken, beef and carnitas. I took a one bite of each and on my life, I've never tasted worse food. Everything tasted like it was days old. The ambiance is cute but I cannot understand the 4 star rating this place has. There was not one single item worth eating. I am convinced people giving this place five stars are friends or paid by the establishment to give out these stars. I have had crappy but edible Mexican food before but this had no redeeming quality. Go to Taco Bell if you need a taco. This was $85 before the tip and we left and ate somewhere else. read more

Date night. Always great experience. Just need to watch the chips. Don't fill up. They added queso as a side with the salsa. I prefer the street tacos with chicken. So yummy It's always hopping and with a full bar you are bound to find the drink of choice. Great menu options and the fajita are sizzling when they arrive. Some places don't do that. read more

For a quick weekend lunch, I stopped by Cinco's. The spacious restaurant had plenty of room, so my party of two was seated immediately. Chips and salsa arrived within a minute. The chips were light and airy without being oily - only a couple broke in the salsa. The salsa tasted fresh and had a solid, balanced flavor. I ordered the El Diablo ($19.99), which included shrimp and onions sautéed in a spicy sauce, served with rice, beans, guacamole salad, and tortillas. The shrimp and onions were savory and comforting, with the spicy sauce adding just the right amount of heat. It's not too spicy if you're accustomed to spice. The portion was generous - I left stuffed. Overall, Cinco's delivers a solid neighborhood family restaurant experience: spacious seating, decent food, hearty portions, and reasonable prices. read more

Cinco cantina is a good local Mexican food spot that hits all the marks. I've come in here many times and had some great food as well as great margaritas. The service is always very friendly, and the ambiance is nice as well. Cinco is the perfect spot if you are in the area and craving Mexican. Most recently I got it to go so I could enjoy it at home and it was just as great of an experience! I usually go for the chipotle burrito and some nachos as well! read more

Just wow. We recently got back from Cozumel and this food is as authentic of Mexican as I've had anywhere. The El Tapatio was amazing- the chorizo and chicken were cooked to perfection. Service was so quick and the portions were huge. We'll be eating leftovers for the next couple of days. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Love the music and decor, especially the "Arte en Barricas" chairs. read more

The chips weren't salty or warm but nice fresh salsa. The service was very attentive. I ordered the fish tacos; I didn't like that the shells were oily and fried (I got the fish tacos to be on the lighter side) but the fish was amazing. Also black beans over refried beans read more

We were in Dover to drop my granddaughter off at the Amtrak into Boston and decided to stop at any restaurant to grab a quick dinner. What an amazing dinner. Everything was terrific. Far beyond what I would have expected. I had the sizzling burrito with chicken. It was huge and I took some home. My husband said his enchiladas were the best he's ever had. Waiter was terrific. Although it's off the beaten path I gather that it's a chain and would look for one closer to Wolfeboro. read more

I still go there, and things have not changed much. A solid go-to for Mexican food in Dover. I like the burritos and chimis and the combo plates have great choices. read more

My friend suggested this place so we decided to give it a try and I was extremely surprised. The staff was super friendly and started off with some chips and salsa while we looked at the menu and drinks. I did get the blueberry margarita which was good, I thought it would have more of a bluish color to it but that's just a personal preference. As for food I went with the Brickyard burrito and it was simply amazing. The chicken seemed like it was cooked with the bell peppers and onions and had this delicious taste to it. The perfect bite would definitely consist of a little bit of everything on the plate on your fork. It is a little bit of a pricier option compared to the other Burritos but for the taste it makes sense. I can't wait to go back and try their other food! Highly recommend! read more

The food and service was superb. The prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. We intend to make it our new "go to" for Mexican dine-in cuisine. Very good first impression. Will recommend for sure! read more

Absolutely fantastic. I had the El Tellez and my partner had the Veggie Trio. We both had margaritas. Everything was just great. The service was attentive and very friendly. The place itself had a nice vibe with great Mexican music. I will be back as soon as I can! read more

The food was very good. The Seafood chimichangas and they were crispy and nice on the outside and very good taste over all. I loved them. Also the steak street tacos were spot on. Our Waiter was so nice and friendly and was very patient with all our questions on the menu. We will definitely be coming back here as we live close by. Meter parking is a drag but we were able to part very close and it is only $1/hr and we were only an hour. Pina Colada and Margarita were great as well. It was not real busy so the music and the atmosphere were very comfortable and not to loud. read more

Great food, service, and ambiance. I always enjoy going here when I am in the area. Their food is always excellent!

The food was delicious and it wasn't a bad price for the amount we received. It's a cute place. Not a lot of room for many, but it does seat nicely. Our waiter was patient, even after my daughter couldn't decide what she wanted. He was awesome. Everything was cooked well. There was just the right type of lighting. The tall ceilings make it seem bigger. Parking was easy. Definitely worth the drive and we didn't have to wait for a table. Thank you for a great dinner!! read more

Food is great but read your bill... if you order a drink they charge $5 for ice per drink and prices for their food just went up..too bad

Popped in for lunch with a friend i haven't seen in years. I was recommended this joint by a local and I'm glad i went! The waiter we had always had a smile on his face and was pleasant. He checked in with our table enough to show he was on top of drinks but wasn't pestering us. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The chips and salsa given tasted fresh. The San Jose Burrito i ordered was very good. I asked to add jalapenos, sour cream, and Guac. The jalapenos were surprisingly spicier than i expected i love spice so i enjoyed it. The sour cream and guac was a great add. My buddy enjoyed the 3 enchiladas Lagunas with no beans. They came out oozing with cheese and and carne asada on top. He loved it. The prices were slightly higher than normal for most items. $3.75 for a Jarritos soda is steep. You need to pay for parking out front with meter parking which is another con in my opinion. Although the food and service was great i don't frequent this area often enough to return. There are so many equally great spanish restaurants around the state that I'd still choose others in the future unless in a pinch in Dover. read more

I've been looking for a new taco spot after getting burned by Coco Locos recently My dinner last night was exquisite, the taco birro I ordered couldn't wait until I got home, and I still find myself fantasizing about the tender beef. My girlfriends burrito was portioned for dinner and a midday snack, and my al pastor tacos were on par with those found in Southern California. Thanks Cinco! I'll certainly be back! read more

Delicious & very accomodating for our toddler. I got the Enchiladas & my husband got the Tacos Al Pastor. Both were amazing!

I went with a group of about 21 and they were able to accommodate us and seat us together, the organizer called ahead. The food was very good. I ordered the fish tacos and it came with spanish rice and refried beans. The portions are generous and reasonably priced. Even with a large group, the staff did a great job and are very friendly. I'm tough on Mexican restaurants because I lived in AZ for a couple of years and the Mexican restaurants there are fantastic. For the northeast, this is a good restaurant. I do recommend this place. read more

Great value. Food and service are great but the interior badly needs a rehab. When you touch your table you stick to it! Yuk!

I ordered a taco salad and chorros. Overpriced and Gross! I took one bite of each item and had to spit them out!! read more

When I first tried them out, it was their opening night/week and it didn't go too smoothly. I wrote a review about it and now it's time to update that with the following: Since COVID, I have been ordering out and thought I would revisit Cinco (from the comfort of my couch) and I have not been disappointed. Food has arrived hot/warm enough, fresh and always tasty! Have ordered several times, several different dishes. If you're in the mood for Mexican ... give them a shot! read more

Amazing. Felt right at home with a big basket of warm chips and salsa when we sat down, and our order was quick and served hot. Great food, authentic margarita, family friendly and attentive and prompt service. read more

The Restaurant is great it has TVS everywhere and festive decorations the place wasn't too crowded but enough to know the food would be yummy and let me tell you it is and yes the Mole sauce is way better than anything I've had since I've been up north this food was so good I almost cried the layers of flavors the smokiness the hints of chocolate I'm so impressed I'm calling my mom thank you who ever waited on me and all those envolved in the making of the food im so grateful if Anthony Borden was alive he would order seconds read more

I've been soooo many times. Never a bad experience. Mango margaritas are to die for. If you want quality food and drinks- come here.

Very authentic Mexican food. The atmosphere is great. They have several rum and margarita choices. The street taco's per fabulous!!!!! Staff are very friendly and great. Parking is street read more

I went to this restaurant tonight. Restaurant staff was pleasant and attentive, so I have.no customer service complaints. However, the food was far too salty and a bit too greasy for my taste. It wasn't terrible per se, but it certainly wasn't great either. I'd go again if I was desperate, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Will definitely be back the next time I am in the area. The owner and all of the staff working here are awesome and the atmosphere is laid back and you feel welcome here. The food is really good. Salsa is yummy (and chips), I tried the street tacos, had the chicken and the carne asada. Both had a really good seasoning on them, tortillas were soft and it came with some green and red sauce to put on if you wish. They let me try their own homemade hot sauce which I will be putting on my tacos the next time I'm here. It had really good flavor and a little kick to it as well! I had the fresh squeezed margarita, regular, mango and mango strawberry (don't judge I love my tequila). Really, really good. If you want fresh real Mexican food I suggest you come here. read more

Omg the food here is terrible. Literally inedible. Threw away both entrees after two bites of each. The pork street tacos tasted burnt and rubbery. The chipotle burrito was all rice and beans and the chicken was tasteless. When i picked my food up it was sitting next to two tubs of brown dirty water. I almost vomited in my mouth. This place is a health hazard. read more
