My little family and I tried Cinco De Mayo for the first time during our Summer 2014 Ocean City NJ vacation. My son discovered Cinco De Mayo in an Ocean City book with info about what to see, what to do, where to eat, etc. while in Ocean City. He wanted to try it as he really wanted to try authentic Mexican cuisine. Well, since trying it for the first time we are all hooked! The food was absolutely delicious!!! We enjoyed it so much that we decided to go there for dinner again before heading home at the end of our vacation. Their chili nachos were amazing, my son absolutely LOVED the steak fajitas and my husband and I really enjoyed the fish tacos. The quality of the food was wonderful! Everything was so fresh and so savory. The combination of flavors were incredible! We are already looking forward to going back to Cinco De Mayo on our Summer 2015 Ocean City NJ vacation. We are so happy to know of another great restaurant to enjoy while we are down there. By the way, the service there is also very good, and the place is really pretty- beautiful murals on the walls as well as ponchos and sombreros. The place is so colorful! LOVE it!!!

The half hour wait we were told when we got there was actually over 50 minutes. You need to pay for salsa and chips, which always irks me, but the chips were boarder line stale. The meats were under seasoned and buy "under seasoned", I mean not even salt. The sausage on my Torta Cubana was a hot dog. I was expecting chorizo but a hot dog is a hot dog, and I love hot dogs. Any way, I also ordered a carnitas taco because Im a big fan of carnitas. It was very fatty but exceedingly delicious. However, the tacos do not come with pico, salsa or sour cream, they are extras that youre charged for. The iced tea is bottled so dont expect free refills but thats okay because it tasted a little off and its a brand we drink at home so I know what its supposed to taste like. On the plus side of the ledger, the portions are large. My torta was roughly the size of a Volkswagen.

Wow!!!!!!! My girl friend and I love mexican food and this place is no joke. When they say 100% real mexican food they mean 100% real mexican food. Everything was FRESH and prepared to perfection. We live in Ocean City and have eaten at other mexican restuarants in town; while they are good too they dont compare to Cinco De Mayo. We both agreed it was on par with the restuarant Mexico in Atlantic City but a way better value. We would have no problem dining there atleast once a week!

The owner of the restaurant was as rude as can be when we called to make a reservation for a large party. He just said over and over again that they do not take reservations, even though we offered to pay a deposit in advance. I asked him if he would prefer to lose the business and he said "yes". We will never ever ever go to this restaurant because they were so unbelievably rude and clearly do not care about their customers or about business.

Busy and very clean establishment with great food year round (except Tuesdays). The take out is brisk and the table service is accurate and attentive. The menu looks as standard Mexican fare, but it sizzles with fresh ingredients and careful blended spices. My current favorite is the sopes chorizo. I will update that Im certain. Every visit is better than the last.

Maybe it was because I went during a busy weekend, but the food seemed thrown together. The meat, my chicken and my wifes steak, was overcooked. Everything seems like its just quickly cooked in a frying pan. To me, it was just a step, or two, above Taco Bell. I would have preferred the Chipotle in Mays Landing.

Wow what a great meal! Weve been to a lot of Mexican restaurants, and this is one of the most delicious meals weve ever had. I ordered the entomatadas and couldnt stop eating until the plate was clean. My girlfriend had the sopes and she was equally impressed. Wait staff was very friendly.

Im Mexican and allow me to tell you. This place, Cinco de Mayo, has the most authentic Mexican cuisine I ever tasted here in Jersey. Too bad the township wont let tequila in. Forget about Manco & Mancos Pizza and go to this place. I highly recommend it.

The food was good for the most part, however my chicken was dried out and flavorless. We were seated right away but didnt see the waitress for 10 minutes before she took our order. After we fished our meal, we waited another 15 to even get our check.

Food was great. Authentic Mexican. The carne asada tacos were excellent. I image there can be a decent wait during peak season, but its worth the wait. If youre tired of the typical boardwalk grilled food, Id definitely recommend.

Food was delicious and came out so quickly once we sat down. We waited for 25 minutes because its a popular place but it was worth it! Portions are not as big as most other Mexican restaurants I have been too.

I had to ask for chips that werent stale. Enchilada tortillas were stale and the chicken inside was dry. I dont know if its because we were white, but the service wasnt even apologetic. I wouldnt go here.

Surprisingly good! Dont let the outwardly appearance following you. Very close to authentic mexican food, and even the Sprite was imported from Mexaco. Very generous meat and chicken portions too.

Was very impressed with this place. Had a terrific evening with amazing food in a small but quaint authentic Mexican restaurant for a steal! I will definitely come back here again.

Holy chimichanga! Great service! Great food! Whoever said the chips were stale doesnt know what freshly fried chips without preservatives are like. This place is the real deal!

Grabbed a quick lunch and it might have been the best burrito Ive ever eaten. Salsa was delicious and I requested no dairy and got no dairy. Highly recommended. Ill be back.
