Diner Reviews
  • "This is a cool spot! I met up with some friends and it was a good first time experience. The food was good, drinks could use a little more kick but the entertainment on the bar side was excellent, live entertainment. The singer kept us entertained with beautiful oldies with a little dancing on the side; Manuel Covington. He sang and performed a little of everything. It was really good, Check it out! I plan to go back soon. When spring and summer hit, the patio if going to be awesome."

  • "The food is always very good and the fact they take reservations is a huge plus. However, service especially with drinks was painfully slow and the waitress did not speak English very well and was difficult to understand."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "Nothing new, but just as delicious as always. I was quite surprised I got reservations on Feb. 14th. We didn't get the Valentines Special (I don't like lobster, although it was a great deal). Friends joined us again making for a fun evening. Everyone's entrée was excellent. Service was outstanding (Thank you Elda!). The food came out quickly. Margarita's were great. What else can I say."

  • "Actually ate lunch here on Tuesday and dinner on Friday. They were busy, but they weren't slow. We were joined with friends this visit, so we lingered a bit longer and never once felt rushed. My Tacos al Carbon were delicious and my hubby's veal quesadilla was excellent as well. I think that is his new favorite. Elda, our server, was great as always too."

  • "i have eaten at this Concos at least 5o times and can say that i can count on one hand when it didn't totally live up to my expectations"
    Dined on 2/7/2014
  • "There was only one server for the bar area - she was very good, but there should have been two for the number of tables - every time that we asked for something, we had to wait a little longer than expected. Guacamole was fresh and very good."
    Dined on 1/25/2014
  • "Wow! Was it ever busy Friday night. If not signed-up, get on Open Table to make reservations. Service was great especially considering how busy it was. The food was fabulous and arrived hot. Everyone got something different...beef, chicken, veal, soup. No complaints at our table. We even kidded about one guy just shy of licked his plate clean. Two pitchers of frozen margaritas served us well too. Also, kudos to Augustine our server!"
    Dined on 1/10/2014
  • "Food was outstanding however the $9.50 margaritas were small and yet good just overpriced for natural lime juice."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "The Grande Fajitas and not just great they are also about the best bargain in town. we generally split this one dish between four adults and often have leftovers. also, their freshly made guac is some of the best you will ever have. my wife likes the Texas margarita and her friend loves the frozen sangria."
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "Have enjoyed many lunches and dinners at Cinco. Food is consistently good and they are very accommodating with slight changes (substitutions) to entrees. Willing to amend dishes to make slightly more healthy."
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "We stuck with our usual order and certainly wasn't disappointed. The steak fajita's are the best I've ever had. Any old time metro Atlantans remember Casa Garrado's? Well, better than their's ever were. I never liked guacamole until I tried Cinco's guac. The Queso Fundido is terrific. And, the service is superior to other restaurants, no matter who you get, but some do seem like family by now, since, we see them nearly every week."

  • "Good food and service for the price. Good bar. Will definitely be a frequent visitor for casual dining!"
    Dined on 11/14/2013
  • "This is our usual Friday night place for good reason. The food is always terrific, no matter what we order; the service is always excellent. What more could we ask! The hubby ordered the Chipotle Shrimp appetizer as a light meal, but then helped me finish my Tacos al Carbon (steak). Both were terrific. And, as always the margaritas were great. Looking forward to this Friday already."
    Dined on 11/8/2013
  • "Augustine always takes great care of us! He is the best - Thanks"
    Dined on 10/6/2013
  • "Hubby and I each went for a lighter meal this time, and it was just as satisfying. The "bowl" of Chicken Tortilla Soup is HUGE, so very filling. Couple that with a guacamole appetizer and your good to go. Hubby just went for an appetizer as a meal this evening and was content as well. Of course, he had two of their delicious margaritas to fill his belly too!"
    Dined on 9/21/2013
  • "My BF and I come here often. The food is generally pretty good, but there are times when they are off their game. One point I must make is don't count on margaritas. Every single time (three strikes your out) I have ordered one it was terrible! Whether it taste like cheap mix with barely any alcohol or being too sweet to consume; I finally gave and just get a shot on the rocks."
    Dined on 8/17/2013
  • "The food was delicious as always. We were boring and stuck with the tried and true steak quesadillas and veal quesadilla. Our server, Keith, was excellent. Service was quick, but not hurried. And, of course, the margaritas perfect!"
    Dined on 8/18/2013
  • "We always have a great time when we go for lunch or dinner at Cinco! The food was great and the service was prompt and very courteous. We look forward to our next trip there!"
    Dined on 8/18/2013
  • "The tacos al carbon, steak, were wonderful. Our service was impeccable as always. We met friends there and everyone's meal was perfect: the veal quesadilla, the burrito. I can't rave enough over the salsa and guacamole. Of course, don't forget the margaritas!"
    Dined on 8/10/2013
  • "We visited this restaurant during Gwinnett Restaurant Week and thought the food, service and atmosphere were all very good."
    Dined on 7/26/2013
  • "The food, place and our wonderful server Miquel made the evening a great experience!"
    Dined on 7/24/2013
  • "Although the service was pretty good and the ambiance was decent, it was way too loud to hear anyone at your table and the food was horrible. It had no spices or flavor that Mexican food should have. I won't be coming there again just based on the fact that everyone at my table hated their dishes and we all received different things."
    Dined on 7/20/2013
  • "We went kind of last minute on the rainy 4th. There were only 7 tables seated, but things were still abnormally slow. The food was terrific as always. This place is the reason I discovered I do like guacamole, and Cinco's guac is fantastic! Everything is always so fresh. We didn't stray from out standards - the best steak fajitas cooked to order, the veal quesadilla, and cheese dip. It was actually nice to not have someplace to be, but instead just kick back and enjoy the day.."
    Dined on 7/4/2013
  • "Cinco's Suwanee has gone through many changes since the rash of management turnover. The food has gotten better, and is getting close to be when it was stellar. But now the portions are shrinking. This means the value is headed in the wrong direction, and we hope the owners reverse these decisions."
    Dined on 6/29/2013
  • "We love this place. The food and the service are always fantastic. I highly recommend for lunch, for dinner, for a special occasion...anytime! Sunday brunch is also a winner."
    Dined on 6/22/2013
  • "Overall, the food was fine, nothing remarkable, but not bad. We ordered the guacamole and I had the grilled shrimp tacos. They were both okay choices. Our waitress was very nice, so that added to the pluses of the evening. I'd go back because of the location."
    Dined on 6/21/2013
  • "I have been to Cincos many times. Ther has been a change in management 3 times. It use to be the best restaurant around, but now it's really hit or miss. My wife and I went two weeks ago and the food was great, but on Father's Day the food was just ok. Hopefully they can get things back to how they once were."
    Dined on 6/16/2013
  • "We usually have a great time at Cinco. The food was not good this visit. We might give it another try in the future but we definitely won't rush back to Cinco."
    Dined on 6/15/2013
  • "Six of us went there on a Friday night. It was nice to be able to make a reservation. However it wa a once in a lifetime experience. We will not be going back. Food that gave us intestinal complaints the entire next day. No draft beer and a waitress more interested in chatting to her friends than waiting on the table. No thanks"
    Dined on 6/8/2013
  • "We were so glad to get back to our favorite restaurant after being on vacation for 9 days. Yeah, I know that sounds crazy, but we were looking forward to our usual Friday evening fare. The steak fajita's were fantastic as always and the shrimp appetizer was just the right size. Service was impeccable. Beverages were filled and margarita's consumed. Can't ask for more from a familiar Friday night."
    Dined on 6/1/2013
  • "Nice restaurant, the food is ok however I have noticed that the size of burrito is getting smaller every time we eat there. We liked the decor."
    Dined on 5/24/2013
  • "We love Cincos and recommend it to people we know."
    Dined on 5/10/2013
  • "We love everything about this place. The food is fantastic. Everything we've tried is delicious. The service is superb. And, don't forget the guacamole and salsa with the fresh made chips...not from a bag folks! For dessert try the Aztec Mousse. It's not the fluffy pudding-like dessert you're used to. It's a decadence all it's own. You can share, but I'd get my own if I were you."
    Dined on 5/3/2013
  • "The inside restaurant is great, the outside patio and back room are mixed at times. The inside restaurant often has a long wait list. The back room is usually available, but service is mixed - sometimes VERY slow to the point where it takes 30 minutes to get a drink, and after 90 minutes no food after being promised it was up next for over an hour. Guacamole is awesome, as well as most of the food. Music is usually good too."
    Dined on 4/29/2013
  • "We went for an early dinner. We stuck with our standard menu items, steak fajitas and queso fundido, and everything was just wonderful. Service was great too. We were surprised as to how busy it was getting when we left for a Sunday evening, so be sure to Open Table even if you think it would normally be a slow night."
    Dined on 4/27/2013
  • "Wonderful food with excellent service.I almost always stick with the steak fajitas which never disappoint. The veal quesadilla is a favourite of the hubby as is the skirt steak. Wonderful!"
    Dined on 4/18/2013
  • "The food was fantastic as always and served quickly. Server had an attitude when we produced a coupon, then made it clear we needed to clear the table. Don't know why. We were there approx an hour. It was the slowest I've seen it on a Friday in a long time and no one was waiting in the lobby when we left. We always tip at least 20% pre-discounted amount. So, I don't know where that was coming from. We hadn't been a problem table, even though my meal came out wrong twice and my daughter's cheese dip was cold. It was kind of disappointing, since we had invited friends to join us this time. Sorry guys. You're still #1 and we'll be back this week, but this trip was way off the mark."
    Dined on 4/11/2013
  • "Our server was taking care of too many tables, so service was slow. Interesting menu, not the typical boring Mexican menu you see in a lot of places. The tequila list was amazing. I would go here again."
    Dined on 3/28/2013
  • "Always a great experience - great food and great friends!!!"
    Dined on 3/31/2013
