Tasty Mexican food, almost as good at California style I keep coming back to Cinco's when I am in the area and haven't yet been disappointed. They know that I dive in to the salsa and give me extra as I sit down. All of the staff are super friendly, I've likely been helped by everybody and everyone is super kind. There is plenty of room with plenty of tables, so unless you're here at a high-traffic time, you shouldn't have much of a wait. read more

Went on Father's Day, walked in at 11. They were not crowded, maybe 2-3 tables. Ordered frozen strawberry daiquiris the server asked what I wanted on the rim. Told her sugar, when it arrived there was nothing on the rim, it was barely frozen, and just tasted sweet. Second one was the same, nothing on the rim. The glasses are not daiquiri glasses in not sure what they are. Dining partners quesadillas tasted awful he said and it did not look good. My fajitas were ok, but also very Smokey with chewy little pieces of steak, and shrimp were ok. I think we're done with Cincos which is to bad, but there are better options right up the road. read more

Bland, premade frozen Sysco. I used to go here. It was great. I don't know what changed whether it was the ownership or chef however, I will say the bartenders were exceptionally nice. Hopefully they can get it back together again. read more

Classic Mexican decor (without ever having been in Mexico so I really have no idea...) Server was nice. I had the chorizo quesadillas which was good but I would definitely have liked more chorizo or less beans in it - the beans kinda took over from the chorizo. Decent place and I would go again. read more

This is a late review but this is my favorite Mexican restaurant that I have tried so far. The food always tastes so fresh and delicious, the wonderful people who work there are always smiling and helpful and if you are eating out the restaurant is always clean or if you get takeout your order is always completely right, hot and delicious. Thank you Cinco's Cantina! read more

Went in last Sunday for lunch. Awesome service from our waitress Jesse and food and drinks were prompt and tasty! Have had takeout here before as well and everything has always been awesome! read more

Excellent service at the bar. Good value with chicken wings (Wednesday special) and burrea taco. House Margarita good.

Food is wicked good! Giant margaritas get you feeling RIGHT! Services is always a delight :) atmosphere is family friendly. Great place to get lunch while running errands. Been coming here for 5 years and the food comes out hot and quick. An Epping staple. read more

We moved from Nashville, TN, to Candia, NH, late last year and took a chance on this place as we missed decent Mexican food, whether Americanized or not. This place DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The food was REALLY GOOD (try the pineapple fajitas - great idea and even better taste!) the guacamole was good, the salsa was good, the queso was good - everything was really easy!!! ...and the service was nothing short of PERFECT. Madeleine was obviously a seasoned veteran server, knew our needs before we did, and neither over- nor under-represented herself at our table. Friendly, candid, knowledgeable. Absolutely PERFECT. We have a new local favorite Mexican place, and this is it. read more

Terrible service. Hot plates hanging off the table, drinks took 15 minutes to arrive. Spoke with the manager who's attitude was "what do you want from me?" I used to eat here all the time. Never again. read more

Cinco’s Cantina - HOT Dishes hanging off the table because everything came out together. Manager didn't seem to care. - Mexican Near Me - Epping, New Hampshire

Where to start. We walk in and the place is dead on a Saturday night. Our waiter comes up to us and rushes to get our drink order. Margaritas and water with a few kids juices. Pretty simple stuff. My kids were pretty hungry so I went ahead and ordered those meals and appetizers when he was getting out drink orders. When I tell you the appetizers and kids food arrived before a single drink I'm not joking. The kids food was completely wrong as well so we had to send that back. 30 minutes go by and the dude seems frustrated with us so we asked the manager, who we didn't know was the manager, for some more chips. Waiter comes back and tosses the chips on the table and walks off. Still hasn't gotten our food order. Finally about 10-15 minutes later he comes and gets our food order and it feels like hours before we finally get it. A few people got the wrong entrees and the people who ordered fajitas only got the rice and bean plate. No sizzle plate. After 5 minutes the sizzle plates came out. My husband looked at me and said "oh the chicken looks good".... Problem with that is that I ordered steak and carnitas. All of the meat was a weird temperature somewhere between cold and luke warm. On a freaking fajita. The steak was super stringy and the carnitas was all fat and it was this dull grey shiny color. I sent it back. The manager comes out and goes "who got the fajitas?" I said that I did and she said "okay. Can I ask what was wrong with them?" So I told her. No apologies. Nothing other than "can I get you something else?" And a passive walk away. She comped my meal but will never go back. Over $100 for unimpressive food. There are some people who shouldn't be in the service industry and some people who should not be cooks. Worst food and service I've had in a long time. If you want good Mexican food go to La Caretta in downtown Portsmouth. read more

Cinco's Cantina is a casual Mexican restaurant took over the former Tortilla Flat in Brickyard Square in Epping a few months ago. During the health pandemic (early 2020), they offered takeout and outside dining in front of the restaurant at about 6 tables, which can all be occupied on nicer days. There is also additional outdoor seating located between The Oven and Beach Plum. I ordered dinner takeout from Cinco's Cantina very recently since I felt it was a bit too soon to be eating out in public. Ordering online and paying ahead via Clover was super easy and my order was all set to be picked up in 20 minutes after placing my order. They will deliver your order to you in the parking lot. I ordered the Chimichangas ($11.99 plus tax) which comprised of two deep fried chimis (one filled with shredded chicken and the other with seasoned beef) topped with queso & sour cream drizzle, Mexican rice, and soft refried beans, accompanied by shredded lettuce, tomato, guacamole, crunchy tortilla chips and mild salsa (not thick). The portion of food was enough and similar size to other Mexican restaurants in the area. I enjoyed my takeout tasty dinner outside on a sunny evening on my car isolated in the spacious parking lot. CV-19 PSA: The servers at the restaurant were wearing masks (serving unmasked outside diners), but a male host delivering takeout food orders outside to customers was not. Another male worker entering the restaurant questioned why so many mask wearers in the area. Wearing masks is not required at most places in NH, but it's done to protect other people and to slow the spread. The current CV case numbers in Epping is very low, less than 5 (late May 2020), but drive 20-30 minutes to the west and south and the current CV cases are sky high. read more

This place is unreal. Haven't ordered anything I haven't liked. Service is great as well

Awful!! Stay away!! With only 6 tables occupied you would have thought service would have been attentive and food expedited, we did to and nothing could have been further from the truth, 55 minutes later the food arrived and it was awful the fajitas came out so hot the entire bottom of the plate was charcoaled and the flavor tasted it as well . The waitresses could be found huddled and talking with the hostess up front, while the guest all spoke amongst themselves complaining about empty drinks and no food. read more

Horrible horrible drinks last night .. food was just ok. 3 of us had margaritas and there was zero tequila in them - same situation for our friend who ordered a vodka of soda so we asked for a few shots to add to our drink because they were so weak and the girl charged us not only for all the margaritas but also for the additional shots stupidly we didn't smell the shot before we put it in our drink, but I tasted the shot glass and it smelled like perfume and didn't taste like anything. Total SCAM going on there. read more

See all

Three of us, two adults one 12 year old. All had good food and drink--though none were alcoholic so can't speak to those. An order of a skillet burrito, pork tacos and a kids taco all arrived quickly and the food seemed fresh and tasty. Chips and salsa were fine but not remarkable. Service was good. Pricing was appropriate. Nothing to mark down. A perfectly fine Mexican restaurant. read more

We went in for a margarita and a bite to eat. Ordered fajitas with steak quite delicious peppers onions meat was quite tender and delicious. Margarita was very good. I don't know if they're doing any Cinco de Mayo special evening with music I'd like to go back. read more

The food was room temperature but plate burned my hand. The server did not warn of hot plates.

To say my experience was bad is an understatement, it was god awful. It took around an hour just to get our food because the underpaid depressed waiters or so i assume have know idea where the tables are and the food that was ordered was sent to the wrong table so thats where most of the wasted time went and waiting the eternity for my food i was bored to death and really had nothing to do other than watching stuff on my phone. And the food was alright i suppose but it couldnt make up for the service so i can safely say im not going here again. :( read more

Finally New Hampshire has some Tex-Mex!! Very different than Margaritas (which is good, but for me Cinco's is better.) Quite different from our other local fav too, Los Olas. This is true Tex-Mex so if you like that style of Mexican you will like this place. Good chips and salsa, flavorful and less vinegary than what you find at other Mexican restaurants. Friendly staff. Good Food. Good Margaritas. Nice decor and seating options. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back even though it's close to half an hour away. read more

Great burrito.. best I've had in a long time..Margarita was great as well..This place is way better than the last place that was there.. read more

Excellent meal at Cinco's tonight. Quite busy for a Monday night, but service was fine. We had chicken fajita salad and a pork pastor quesadilla. Great food, the veggies were fresh and crunchy, and the pastor-style pork was delicious, with a bit of pineapple salsa inside. Drinks were great, food even better. Well done Cinco's. read more

No gift cards?! We received a Cinco's gift card for Christmas. When we tried to use it only 2 months later we were told "no gift cards". I don't think this is even legal! The service and the food were good but don't sell gift cards you are not planning to honor! read more

Don't be frightened by the location in a mall. This is surprisingly authentic Mexican food, much of it prepared in the regional style of the owner. We love the burritos, which are served "platter-style"--topped with great sauces and eaten with fork and knife. Attentive service, and OK beer selection. Highly recommend for anyone seeking good, causal Mexican food. read more

We love this restaurant! It's really great for a small table for two or a large table for 14! They are very accommodating. The food is excellent, hot, seasoned well and tasty! The chips and salsa are bottomless and I highly recommend the table side guac as well as the queso! They have sooooo many great choices for your meal! You can't go wrong! Try my favorite drink: the mango margarita, made with coconut tequila & a sugared rim! read more

This place is excellent! Huge improvement over prior restaurant in this location. We had the Elote del Rey, Street Tacos (Steak/Carnitas/Chorizo) and the the San Jose Burrito and it all was delicious. read more

Super slow, bad drinks, one of which was spilled on my date, server didn't even apologize or acknowledge it. Food was marginally better than fast food. Was overall bad and would never return. Contacted them to leave feedback (at their request on the bill) and they never replied. No surprise, but 100% skip. Way better food options around for less money and way better service. read more

Stumbled upon this location while passing through the area, had an outstanding jalapeño margarita and a lunch combo of chicken chimichanga and cheese chile relano with beans and rice side. It hit the spot! They're was hardly anyone there when we arrived (weird afternoon timing I think) and so they had time to chat and make friendly jokes. read more

I went there for take out on my way home from a long day of work. The hostess asked for my phone number. I was reluctant to give it to them, as I was getting take out. My assumption was, that the number was for COVID contact tracing. Guess what, I am getting text messages from Clover about their specials. I will make the drive to East Kingston from now on. I am pretty sure they are not allowed to do this. But either way, just lost a customer.....or 6. read more

Meh. Very average street tacos. I'd go with the wood fired pizza next door instead. Sorry

If you like flan don't get it from here. Disgusting that they wouldn't throw this in the trash instead of serving it. Emailed them and never received an answer. They just lost 2 customers. read more

Got takeout for lunch. Fan-freakin-tactic! Can't wait for the covid restrictions to be lifted.

I decided to stop in and try the tacos. I got home and found that they were So soaked in grease from the meat that the taco was all soggy and I couldn't even pick them because they just fell apart. I called and I spoke to the owner/manager for a replacement. He was extremely rude and refused to give me his name. I told him that his yelp review was not gonna be good and he had the nerve to hang up on me. This is customer service coming from The owner!!! The person that initially waited on me did not seem to know what he was doing. When I asked him if there is a separate lunch menu or if I can just have anything that's on the regular menu he said anything. So I ordered the fish tacos and I'm told I can't have those for lunch. Okay fine I ordered street tacos. I had so much trouble placing my order because Jesus was so confused. I'm not sure that he understood English very well. I would totally avoid this place.With the ownership/management being that disrespectful to their customers I don't I think it's a place that anybody should go. read more

Decided to give this place another shot, why did we bother . This place is a rip off. We ordered the queso fundido to bring home as a side to our fish tacos; first off the portion size was hugely lacking, it was like the kid portion. Then hardly no cheese all meat. Sadly disappointing. The salsa isn't even homemade. For a place that states it's the finest Mexican food in NH you're going to be let down and totally turned off. I like to support local businesses but this place needs to do better and step it up. read more

Did a take out last night. My entree of two enchiladas arrived stone cold and my husband got an entirely different item than what he ordered. Have had good luck in the past but this meal was hardly palatable read more

Stopped into this town with a hankering for Mexican food and I hit the jackpot on the first try. My table ordered the queso fundido with chorizo, Chori Papas (fries topped with chorizo, scallions, and cheese), and I had the Enchiladas Dona Maria. I haven't had quality mole for years and this was absolutely perfect. Nothing was too spicy, which is great for me, though you can customize that if you want. A member of my party got the vegetarian Rajas Tacos and even I, a proud carnivore, was impressed. Everything had so much flavor, was freshly prepared, and the service was impeccable. My only regret is that I couldn't take a few plates with me back home. I was so impressed I paid a visit to their sister location in Dover. This is a hidden gem for sure. read more
