    Devil hot sauce is lit! Tacos are hefty; two was plenty for me (plus small guac and chips, naturally). Nice Mexican guys at the counter.

    I love this place. I usually go here after school with my friends. I always get chicken quesadillas with Jarritos soda.

    Good, but Tacos Morelos (cart) on Ave A & 2nd is better and cheaper. But if you're in the area and need a place to sit down and eat- it's very good and very fresh.

    The veggie taco has squash in it so be careful if you don't like sweet + savory together...that being said the sauces are great

    Everything here is great. All meat comes pulled. Try all the different sauces they have. Guac is top notch.

    Office Lunch needs catering? Have 10 to 300 employees hungry for amazing Tacos? Five Tacos will provide a great Five Tacos buffet.

    Best Veggie Taco ever. Slather with their home made sauces. Habanero Jerk has a great kick.

    Pulled chicken quesadilla was a disappointment- fatty pieces of meat and even found a bone!! Chips were the store bought kind, not the nice thin and crispy kind you usually get in restaurants.

    the fillings, guac and sauces are awesome but they have to step up their tortilla and chip game. store bought processed shit isn't gonna cut it.

    If you you want a pancake with some meat and fake cheese (aka "American cheese"), this is your place. If you want tacos, don't ever come here.
