We come here often because it's quick and convenient for us but this was the first time we've had brunch. There were so many choices and everything was delicious! As usual, the service was great, too!
Tom TumblesonJune 27, 2013Tyler, the bartender and the upstairs patio crew were fantastic! Excellent food & great service. Roasted tomatoes Salsa was very unique & flavorful. Look forward to returning again soon.
Jeff AlexanderJune 28, 2013Great Atmosphere! The service staff are fast and courteous. Food prices are bad. Oh yeah I guess that it important to mention that the food is very flavorful aka GOOD... :)
That MarikaApril 18, 2012Their margaritas are amazing! I say this because they taste great and differently will have you feeling good even off of just one drink. I loved their fish (shrimp) tacos which I am picky about.
Great daily drink specials!! House wine for $2.50 on Wednesdays. Rooftop bar with live music is fun on weekends.
TJMay 9, 2014Chipotle-Lime Butterfly Shrimp is delicious. A must try to me. Try the Lobster & Crab Dip is good as well. Good margaritas as well.
Rosey DeeApril 11, 2014This place is awesome. Great service, best chips and salsa in Atlanta. Rooftop deck is great. The tres leches is delicious.
Kendall TApril 29, 2014I called ahead, asked the hostess, & the waiter if they had wi-fi, and all said Yes! After I ordered I found out that the wifi doesn't work and the manager has known this for months. Nice, thanks.
Lori EwaldSeptember 14, 2010We had great service from Amanda and the food was delicious. But, we didn't like the salsa, and Amanda suggested the chile sauce. Excellent! As was the lobster fundido, guacamole, and mayan margaritas
Katie ROctober 29, 2015The salsa is so good. Try the grilled salmon salad if you're looking for something healthy and delicious!
- Darwin WalkJune 26, 2013Love the rooftop patio for dining and drinks. The margaritas were great, but the service was blah! They forgot my order and then got it wrong.
Occupy My Family ATLSeptember 4, 2013Cinco is participating in Cobb County Restaurant Week September 7-14, 2013. Across Cobb County, menus will be offered for $15, $25 or $35. Details: http://wp.me/p1t9ft-dy6
Amy Mazorra CabeiroJuly 4, 2014Love love love this place! Amazing margaritas and delish al carbon tacos!
Kathryn MarcuzzoJune 10, 2014Nice place. Very clean. Food was delicious! Would definitely go again!!
Vernard MartinApril 14, 2013Food was great but I could see it being less tasty if you came at the end of the brunch. Still a tad too expensive though.
Drinks and pork shank in the rooftop bar where Alex will take care of you!- The tip of the day is pack patience. I have never had good service here.
Harrison HerronNovember 4, 2012Pretty awesome..service wasnt bad..decent band..upstairs is cool..foog great and drinks were stout
Laurel CookAugust 25, 2013Upstairs patio area is sweet! Fish tacos are underwhelming, taste like a fish stick wrapped in a tortilla with a little tartar sauce.- g-dub .April 10, 2015The food really isn't that great. But the drinks and rooftop patio are awesome!
You have to visit the upstairs bar with Tony and have him make you his margarita. . .simply ama-mazing!!!
Jennifer EdmondsonJuly 15, 2012Sit on the upstairs patio when the Ben Wade Band plays. Guacamole is great too!
Tyler LynchOctober 6, 2012Not one to dine OTP, but met family out. Food was great, arrived on the table hot. Service was lacking though. Kara basically abandoned our table. I had to ask other servers for chip & drink refill.
Sunday brunch is absolutely amazing. Don't miss the juevos rancheros.
MikeNovember 20, 2014Maybe I'm spoiled bring from Chicago but this is some of the most garbage Mexican food on the planet. Their salsa is "molé inspired" which is foul.
Daily drink specials including $5 Texas Margaritas on Fridays. #TGIF
Be aware the patio is enclosed for the winter (which is very nice) but it is VERY smoky.
Terrell JohnsonJuly 30, 2010To the chef who "cooked" the salmon in my salmon salad at Cinco - I asked for medium, not sushi. Be sure to get yours well done if you try this salad.
Ann BonesteelJanuary 16, 2011Shrimp enchiladas are great! Very filling. Great wait staff-personable and attentive. Love this place!
- Great food, service and margaritas made with fresh ingredients!
Michelle ThompsonJune 10, 2012Sunday Bunch - nice blend of traditional Mexican cuisine and traditional breakfast
David KraftSeptember 22, 2011Save room for desert. A unique treat from the unique Mexican stone guy in the atrium.
Umika PMarch 19, 2011Amazing atmosphere and decor! You will definitely need a to-go box for the food though.
Shayla R.January 6, 2011Try the chicken enchiladas with queso instead of tomatillo, and add the regular salsa on top. So good!
Greg PayneFebruary 26, 2012This was left over. The Nacho Grande doesn't skip on the Grande. Our server said he's only seen one person finish them.
