The place is always clean and very comfortable. You can eat there or get it to go. We like eating there. The service is just the best. Parking is free. All of their food is great. We love the tacos, the soft tacos give so much meat and their burritos are just stuffed with meat. We also love their guacamole and chips. They have great salsas and they have bottled drinks. Everyone there seems happy and it is just a nice place to eat. They also have great beans and rice. There is just nothing you won't like there. They have a great selection. Their Breakfast burrito is also super. Have fun.

We sat at a table by the bar, and I could tell no one was gonna come help us. So we sat at the bar. It took a while for the bartender to even acknowledge us and when he did, it was very clear he did not want us there. It was weirdly quiet in the bar so I asked if the bartender would turn on some music.... Apparently this was a big mistake. He was very rude telling me no and that there was music in the dining area. (They had TVs on, but the volume was really low. It's not like everyone was watching a game with the volume up or anything,) but then he did put on some music. Then the regulars sitting at the bar proceeded to talk shit about me in Spanish thinking I didn't understand them the whole time we were sitting there because I asked for music to be turned on. It was so uncomfortable. Yikes! We left as soon as we were done eating. Also, we had 2 beers, an à la cart bean burrito, and an à la cart quesadilla and the bill was $40. I will say the fresh guacamole they served with my quesadilla was very tasty.

I didn't eat the beans because I simply wasn't in the mood for beans, but the meal also came with lettuce, avocado, and crema.

I got home to find two giant pieces of lightly fried fish atop tortillas, and basically a full (almost ripe) avocado sliced in half, not cut up. All the other fixin's were on the side so you assemble everything yourself (cabbage, pico, chipotle sauce). Once everything was assembled, which took a while thanks to the tough avocado, I was hugely let down. Despite the large quantity of food, the quality was just not there. The fish was flaky and not overly fried, but it tasted like the ocean, not in a good way. SO so so much salt, yuck. Also disappointed by the sides. The black beans were quite runny, more liquid than beans, and the rice had a bunch of random veggies in there that took away from the dish. I'm sure there are many good things on the menu, but their fish taco meal just ain't it, sadly.

I stopped by for brunch with my sisters and wife and we all agreed this was a new favorite of ours. We stopped by around noon and snagged up the last table as this place was busy. Service was good and very friendly. Menu is of a good variety but we ordered dishes such as there chilaquiles, Machaca con huevo and the breakfast burrito and they were all incredible dishes!! The Machaca con huevo was just phenomenal and the star of the plates. Quality and flavor and portion was truly a 10 out of 10. Thank you Provecho Calimex for the incredible food!

Unfortunately, our experience here was very disappointing. The service was inattentive and…read moredisorganized, and we waited approximately 35 minutes for our food. When we mentioned the long wait, the servers seemed dismissive and gave us attitude rather than addressing the concern. The coffee was also very watered down. When we asked for it to be stronger,they just took out ice n added more water , but instead of correcting the coffee, it was simply diluted further. When we brought this up, we again felt that our concerns were not taken seriously. To make matters worse, our receipt was given as one combined bill without clearly itemizing the individual charges. We realized afterward that we may have been overcharged. I have called the restaurant multiple times over the past four days trying to get clarification, but no one has gotten back to me. The food itself was not the main issue--the customer service and lack of accountability were. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and improves both the organization of the service and the way customer concerns are handled.

You just have to know what to get. I got my old breakfast favorite, the breakfast burrito ($12) which comes with eggs, chorizo, potatos, refried pinto beans and cream. It is pretty good and the portion size is about right for the price. (With some of the other items here, you don't get enough versus what you pay. My sweetheart got her old favorite Chilaquiles en salsa verde ($18) which is corn tortillas lightly fried, salsa verde, eggs, crema, queso Fresca, pickled red onion, cilantro & black beans and she loved it as usual. I am giving Cinco 3 stars because they have significant items that are just average and other menu items that are very stingy for the price. But again, if you know what to get you can have a nice meal and not leave hungry and angry because you paid too much for food that wasn't great.

A good friend's birthday called for homemade tortillas, so we set out for Paco's on Centinela…read more Unfortunately, when we arrived, we discovered they're closed on Mondays. Not ready to give up on our tortilla mission, I remembered that Hacienda del Rey also serves homemade tortillas. It had been years since my last visit, so we decided to give it a try. When we arrived around 12:30 p.m., the restaurant was surprisingly quiet. The empty dining room raised a few red flags, especially since I remembered this place being much busier during lunchtime. Still, we were decided to give it a shot. Service started off a little standoffish, but things warmed up as our visit went on. The waitress confirmed they had homemade tortillas, and we ordered a basket of flour tortillas along with a 3 lunch specials. The tortillas warmed on the griddle (not made on the spot) and they were yummy. Between the three of us, we sampled quite a variety: chile relleno with rice and beans, chile relleno with a tamale, and a tamale paired with a cheese enchilada. I'll admit I was a little hesitant since it had been years since my last visit, but the food quickly put those doubts to rest. Everything was flavorful, served hot, and arrived remarkably fast. Of course, no birthday lunch is complete without margaritas. We ordered three, and while they were not very strong, they were enjoyable for an afternoon celebration. As the meal progressed, the service became noticeably warmer, and after learning it was my friend's birthday, the staff surprised us with a complimentary flan. While the restaurant was much quieter than I remembered, the food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, and the birthday surprise added a thoughtful touch. For three people, our bill came to about $100, including three margaritas, three entrées, the tortillas, and dessert. Hacienda del Rey may not have been our original destination, but it ended up being a pleasant birthday detour. If you're in the mood for homemade tortillas and comforting Mexican food, it's worth a visit.
