I haven't tried the food yet but I'm betting my reputation by giving it a 5 stars…read more.. The place is clean but the food looks like the hole in the wall tacos you only find in Mexico! They make their own tortillas. And the menu is straight forward. They have a nice bar area and televisions so you can watch sports but not get blinded by too many televisions. But most of all they were really friendly to me even though I walked in 10 minutes before closing. I'll be back here. If After I eat the 4 tacos I ordered to go, it doesn't live up to 5 stars I'll update my Yelp review. But for now... I'm trusting my gut.

Here's a version written clearly in an 8-year-old voice that still reads well when posted:…read more Hi! My name is Gracie and I am 8 years old. I went to Cinco's Taco Bar in Livermore and it was SO good! I ordered a crunchy taco with carnitas, rice, and cheese. The taco shell felt hard but also super crunchy, which I really liked. The carnitas meat was my favorite part because it was so yummy and full of flavor. Everything tasted delicious and I would definitely want to go back again. If you like crunchy tacos, you should try it!

One - when I walked in I'm not sure if the person that was working there was speaking to her friend or family member but it seems like I interrupted their conversation so it took several minutes for me to make my order(I actually almost left) but I proceeded to place part one of my order which was a dutch crunch burrito with the brisket meat. This was not bad tasting at all when I got back to try everything after shopping nearby. However the carnitas burrito was terrible. I'm not sure what happened. I took two bites and it just wasn't good at all. I was highly disappointed. I appreciated that they give me free chips and salsas but even the salsas weren't that great...not really spicy for "habanero" and the others just seemed watered down as do most Mexican restaurants. So for 32$ I was totally let down and I really dislike spending money on food that I don't like and then I need to spend more money getting food because I'm still hungry. I'm happy that I at least tried the place but now I can see why there was only 2 other diners in the afternoon/early evening. I guess my quest for good Mexican food in this city will continue. I don't think I can recommend or return to this establishment anytime soon.

Hidden GEM!! Learned about this place from another mom on my son's baseball team. She couldn't stop…read moretalking about how good it was and so convenient given how close it is to the baseball fields... So I decided to give it a try. Their super burritos are delicious!! For the size, amount of food and flavor, you cannot beat their prices. I've grabbed burritos from them several times now and we have consistently enjoyed them. While I've done takeout, they do provide the opportunity to sit inside. Don't be fooled by their location; seriously a hidden gem. If you're in the mood for a quick bite, check them out!!

This is a tough review. I decided to try this little Mexican restaurant that shares the building…read morewith a gas station. The parking was a little weird, but I found a spot and checked it out. There was a party of 4 in front of me ordering at the counter. They serve alcohol, bottled sodas, and have a soda fountain. The place isn't fancy- pretty simple and a little dark but ok. It wasn't inviting enough to stay. The 3 guys working weren't too friendly but I wanted to try the fish taco and a shrimp taco to go. $5.75 seemed a little higher than normal for a taco but I figured the serving may be bigger than most places. After 10 minutes, I picked up my to go order on a paper plate with tin foil which made me chuckle. The fish taco was very good- great flavor, tender fish perfectly cooked. I'd rate it a 5/5. The shrimp taco was much smaller which was odd, but the flavor was also very good. The photo reflects a pretty small taco- and it definitely wasn't worth the price. 2/5 for the price. I would go again for fish tacos if I wanted food to go with no frill.

There agua frescas are the best. Everything was very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I plan to make this a go-to place for Mexican food in Livermore from now on; in fact, I will recommend this as a Friday or Thursday work lunch place for a group of my co-workers and me.

We had the carnitas super burrito and the taco plate with al pastor and chorizo tacos. Yummy! My carnitas burrito was huge! And delicious - meat was tender, and the fillings were equally distributed along the length of the burrito (pet peeve of mine when the ingredients are clumped on one end of the burrito!). Thr tortilla has a nice crust from being grilled. The tacos has good flavor. Chorizo was spicy without being overly hot. Pastor meat was excellent. Good place for a filling meal! I could've taken half my burrito home but I ended up eating the whole thing! lol! Counter ordering was fine, food was served quickly. The place is comfortable but basic. TVs were on.

I had the pollo asado, which I thought was quite good. Overall, the food was solid and satisfying, even if it wasn't especially memorable compared to some other Mexican restaurants we've visited. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and welcoming, which definitely added to the experience. This is certainly not a place to avoid--we had a good meal and a pleasant visit. It just didn't stand out enough to become one of our personal "must-go" spots. It did feel overpriced for what we got.

So I love Casa Orozco but tonight.... We walked in tonight…read moreat around 9:10 (they close at 9:30). Yea I know its a little late but the place had quite a few people in the dining and bar area for a saturday night. I know for myself if we're eating close to closing, I leave a good tip bc I appreciate their service when its close to closing time. We waited at the front hostess area for 2 to 3 min before anyone came out. 3 employees walked by us and said nothing as they saw us standing there waiting to be seated. Finally we got seated and our waitress came to ask us if we wanted drinks and we ordered at 9:17p. We received our food at exactly 9:30p which I thought was amazing timing and it looked okay. But.... as the waitress gave us our food, she placed my husband's fajita plate down then walked around the table towards me. As she was doing that, she slid the tortila holder across the table and it hit my husbands dinner plate.. she said nothing and I thought that was so rude. She placed my food down and then asked "do you guys want anthing bc the bar is closing and they wont make you anything after they close!" I said "we're fine." Again, we get it you guys are closing but come on. My husband asked her if he could get a refill on some salsa.. she yanked the salsa from the table and went to fill it. Returned with it and slid it across the table a couple inches and walked away. Groups of people started to leave the dining area and head home and before we knew it we were the only ones there. As we were eating, I could see the waitress sitting by the wall with her arms crossed looking at us and around the room. It made us uncomfortable and I could tell she was so irritated.. it was 9:40. The other employees were cleaning the tables and placing chairs on tables around us to clean the floors Before long, we couldn't take it. I was just annoyed so we asked for to-go boxes. She got us our boxes and a bag to carry the boxes. We felt SO rushed and really annoyed. Yea you close at 9:30 but you're still making money at the end of the day. We paid at the end and gave her a low tip. I was prepared to give her wayy more but I couldnt. Her attitude was something else. I feel like the restaurant has gone down and its unfortunate. The food was okay and I don't think we'll be back. It's a shame bc I really liked this location and building. I don't know what her name was but she was around 5 foot 1-2 inches tall, mid 40s, short black hair with a purple tint to it, and she wore a silver butterfly ring on her right ring finger. As we walked out, the feeling we got was that we were holding EVERYONE UP so they couldn't close up. But as we walked to the car, we saw several people still sitting in the bar area.. eating.. drinking.. etc. 11 people to be exact. So what was the rush...
