We often order the food for take out because with a little it's just more convenient. Even when we take it home, the food is still fresh and piping hot. For the tacos, they put the limes, onions and cilantro on the side. Sometimes they skimp on toppings at restaurants, but they definitely don't here. Be sure to try the avocado creama and the salsa verde!

We knew we were in for a treat, when we entered into this tiny restaurant, realized we were the only gringos, saw the 'fixins' cart and smelled all the goodness in the air. Best tacos we have had in a long time. I had the birria, pastor and shrimp tacos. If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be the birria, but it's really close as the other 2 were also extremely delicious. My friend was raving about the steak taco. Liked her other tacos too, but really fell in love with the steak taco. Had to chuckle when I saw one particular taco listed on the board: Taco de Ground Beef... I very highly recommend this spot.

The corn ribs were in a chipotle mayo sauce but the corn itself was limey and has food texture. The flautas, ramen, and tacos were super flavorful - the birria is smoky and rich.

The steak tacos seemed to be a little light on meat. Chicken taco was much better. My total order was a bit expensive. 3 tacos at $2.50 each, plus a kids quesadilla, side of rice, and 2 Mexican cokes was over $31. Would go again on a Tuesday for the taco deal, but probably skip the cokes and side of rice because I don't understand the cost. Receipt didn't show pricing. Overall, prices seem a bit high for the area and the food didn't justify the cost, so we will likely only go for specials.

I'm a big fan of tortas, especially Milanesa de Pollo tortas. Man! This torta was delicious and mainly because it was flavorful.

This did not need all of that, the chicken was seasoned well and overall the torta was great, rice and beans were cooked - like the homemade kind! I'll definitely be back! Well done Cinco Hermanos!
