Cinco De Mayo Mexican Restaurant

Enjoyed my fajita quesadilla very much. It was a bit dry though and should have come with sour cream so I had to ask for it. Rice was nothing special, beans were ok. Iced tea was spot-​on how it should be. Hubs did not like his at all; I think it was enchiladas. Absolutely packed in here at lunchtime! I will be back (and with it being the only MX place in town, we’re kinda stuck!). But it’s not bad if you order right.

The best mexican around and staff is friendly every day all day
No matter how buisy or packed it is you will always get your food in a reasonable time

Great ownership! Israel stays on top of service and food and waiters are always friendly. Even if busy you don’t feel like an inconvenience to the staff and my favorite pork tacos are perfect every time :)

Excellent food and service! Cinco De Mayo provides an great experience for Mexican food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who asked me about it. The service can get a little slow and take up to almost 30 minutes to get your food when it is really busy but what kind of restaurant doesn’t? It has a wide selection of food and I think it is a good addition to it by having the chips and salsa they give you right when you’re seated. They have TVs all around the rooms to keep you entertained while you wait to be served. If you get there around 5 before everyone else your food can get to you in as low as 5 — 10 minutes. All in all this place a amazing place to go and the food is bound to have you impressed. I go pretty much every week now and I have to say this place beats a lot of my favorite restaurants and is a pretty impressive place for such a small local area.

The only reason this place gets 2 stars is their acceptable food, good not great I had the super burrito with beef it was filling and that’s about it. The queso was great but the chips were slightly stale. To add to my further disappointment my miller light didn’t taste up to par either. The service was absolutely the worst I’ve had in years the server simply didn’t want to be there and you could easily see it. He didn’t check on us once after our order was placed and even after the food was delivered. I had high hopes for Cinco de mayo but it didn’t deliver.

We stopped on a Saturday afternoon for hors d’oeuvres. I liked the atmosphere and the food and the Dos Equis and the waitress. I’ll go back when I’m in town.

Pretty decent Mexican Restaurant thats kind of off the beaten path in Algona (I almost missed it). Chips and salsa were good, Fajitas were good except I had to order the pico de gallo separately. I like this place, nice bar good food 3.5 stars

Came here for lunch in the dead of winter, kicking snow off our boots as we walked in. The perfect time for some spicy Mexican food! And they didn’t disappoint! The food was flavorful and delicious, with huge portions. Service was very good and everyone was friendly. I am just sad that it was my very first meeting with the future in-​laws and so I wanted to conduct myself accordingly. No margaritas for me, :(Next time for sure though… can’t kick me out of the family now that we’re hitched!

Our caravan of cars careened into the parking lot on an early Sunday afternoon. We burst through the door hoping to find a table big enough for all 16 of us. The staff scrambled to make it happened and pulled tables together. Our server, George, was fantastic. He never missed a beat, even with 16 of us shouting at him at once.
They have Dos Equis on tap. That there should be enough. But i will go on.
Their margaritas are served with a straw that almost as big as a garden hose. That there says something, doesn’t it?
Several of us ordered a combination that included a chili relleno. I am a huge fan of the chile relleno. So i was nearly despondent when, some time after we had ordered, George returned to say that they were out of chili rellenos. WHAT???
So i reread the menu and when i didn’t see fish tacos on the menu I asked, if by chance, they served fish tacos. George’s standard response was «Of course!!!» And so, i got my beloved fish tacos. Unfortunately, they did not cut the mustard. I should have asked for lime. That was my bad. But instead of the usual dressing you would find on a fish taco, these tacos were served with a spicy dip that was like mousse. It was ok.
Everyone else had to order a substitute for the chili relleno, and then as luck would have it George said the cook «found» two more chili rellenos. We all had a good laugh about that one. Since I had ordered fish tacos, i did not get a chili relleno but i did get ONE bite from someone else and i can understand why they were out of chili rellenos. The chili was served open faced and was stuffed with meat and cheese and the chili had a wonderful bite to it. It was not the typical mild, batter-​dipped relleno.
If i ever get back up to Algona, I will certainly have to have a chili relleno!
