Tiny Midtown spot serving flavorful birria-forward Mexican plates at fair prices; great for quick tacos and bowls, but space is tight and occasional service/food safety lapses noted.
Cinco de Mayo delivers strong food quality anchored by exceptional birria tacos and generous portions at fair Midtown pricing, supported by friendly, patient service. However, quality variation on secondary items like fish quesadillas and extremely tight seating that favors takeout prevent a higher grade. The hidden gem appeal and loyal following are real, but execution gaps keep it solidly in grade B territory rather than approaching grade A standards.
One caveat: Space is cramped with only three small tables; expect takeout at peak times
