5 Tacos & Beer

Saturday Brunch Buffet - made it about 5 min before opening and got a seat in the first round! Amazing hot food. Beans, green rice, 4-5 types of mole, couple types of pork with sauces, chillequilles, and omg the carnitas!!!Plus soup bar, fruits and toppings, egg station and hot tortillas. Chips were super crunchy. Also offered tea and coffee with the buffet.Everything was VERY tasty and well cooked. Service was great and friendly! Didn't have enough room to eat the fresh churros :(

Ok so I have mixed feelings about this place. First off, it is pretty cute on the inside and they have a nice outdoor seating area too. Which will be great during the spring time. I came and got their chips and guac, Al pastor taco, and carne asada taco, and two beers. The chips and guac was $12 and each taco was $6. The hazys and IPAs were all ranging from $8-$9.50. The carne asada I thought was kind of dry but the al pastor was fine. The guac was also fine but nothing to rave home about. Because of the pricing my first thought was that it was somewhat expensive for the quality. After talking to server, they offer an all you can eat option ever Tuesday which runs for $15/person. I think that's a GREAT deal and I would recommend coming during that deal since everything else seems kinda steep. When I was leaving they did give me a free churro which was nice. Overall, this place is cute and I can see myself coming here to watch a kings game since they have a large selection of beers but I was surprised at the pricing.

This place is not what it seems to be. Customer service needs so much improvement. It's very Americanized. We ordered our drinks and the server never brought my mom the creamer for her coffee, the coffee lukewarm. I just wanted water with lemon and my sister and my daughter both wanted a soda. My sister had a dirty plate. When we asked for another plate one of the girls was really nice and said sorry and got her another plate. The mason jars they used for the drinks were dirty on the top rim. We tried to order some chicken tacos and they were out of chicken and out of rice. It was 12:45pm and they were already out of items. It doesn't look like they make the food there. It looks like they just warm up the food and they serve it. We ordered quesabirria. No flavor at all. There was a lot of fat in the meat. It's like the beef was just boiled and put on the tacos. The consume was very oily. They didn't even wipe down the cup when they plated. The side of the cup was dripping with a piece of hair on the side. The girl that brought out the food to the table just threw the plates down on the table and was very rude. My mom had some plates ready for her to take and she just took off. There was a dirty table to the side of us since we arrived. So my mom put the plates there. We left and all the plates were still there. When we were ready to leave the server came and bought some limes for my water and said they didn't have lemons. Really bad service and food.

Prices are a steal at $15 for Taco Tuesday AYCE, but they need practice on handling large crowds with a little more organization.This place is popping, taking over the old Hot Italian space. I was really excited to try this place but it's a hot mess right now. Arriving at 5:30pm on Tuesday, I asked the reception if there's happy hour and she said yes, until 9am. Imagine my excitement! Only to be bummed out when the bartender said no HH, yet she later gave us a little menu showing drink specials: $5 beers and Micheladas. Ok? We noticed 18% is automatically added to your drinks for Taco Tuesday.Now, the fiasco of getting a seat.. the front desk took our names down but then told us we could grab any table that became available. When we saw some bar tables available and headed that way, another waiter said it was taken and you had to be on the list. We said we were on the list, but he told us no. So which is it?We finally got seated and were ready to hit the taco bar. By now it's been almost an hour wait. But no! You need a wristband first! So we sat around another 10 mins waiting for someone to come and give us wristbands.PROS: Handmade tortillas: Made fresh several feet away from you. The servers also THROW AWAY tortillas not up to their standards instead of giving them to you. Much respect on the quality assurance!Meat Choices: Chicken, Carnitas, and Pastor. The meats were tender, well seasoned, and had a homey stewed flavor. I never get chicken tacos anywhere, but was surprised I liked this one so much. The meats were all juicy and satisfying.Vegetarian Choice: Only one choice, calabacitas (zucchini & squash) and was not good. It was too wet and a bunch of things thrown together, but with no flavor.Variety: Taco Tuesday is literally Taco .. Tuesday. That's all you get. Toppings are your typically street taco toppings - cilantro, onions, sliced beets, salsa roja o verde, and grilled onions & peppers. The beans looked like muddy water; so much juice. There was some cantaloupe soupy looking mess that I also didn't touch. And that's all folks! I found out you can order off a menu also but it's not included I the AYCE. Chips was one of them. I mean really? Also, no pico de gallo. Again..really?Tacos Assembled: OK WTF happened. The tortilla was freshly handmade, meats cooked with love, salsas with a nice kick, but put altogether, it was SO greasy! Where'd all that oil come from?! My plate was soaked with grease.Overall, I enjoyed the tacos, the meats had good flavor and tortillas were fluffy and fresh. However, after one plate, all that grease had me yearning for something refreshing to cleanse my palette. All those palomas just weren't enough! I'd probably come back but might opt for ordering off menu instead of the AYCE.

The tacos were great. Some were better than others. My personal ranking was 1. Carne asada 2. Quesabirria 3. Pork al pastor 4. Chicken molé The service was a little spotty at first. Granted,, the place gets packed and is very loud with people talking and having a good time. Reservations are definitely recommended! We were seated just before 6:30pm and were not attended to until 5 or 6 minutes later. Our drink order was taken and then our food order. However, the food came out first and we were not disappointed. We also had to ask twice for the chips and guacamole that we ordered. The chips and guac finally made it to the table after we were done eating. Overall, I thought the server did a really good job handling the business of the restaurant. He was calm, personable, polite, helpful and respectful. The Abuela's Sweetheat Chili Crunch added to the respective tacos added so much depth of flavor You can order Abuela's Sweetheat Chili Crunch on IG @Friday_night_bites_209 Fyi, weekend brunch is all you can eat and available from 10am-3pm.

I met up with a group of friends tonight for AYCE Tacos. That's is a fantastic a fantastic deal. The waiting was over an hour to waiting for a table for our group since we couldn't make reservations in advance. The inside of the restaurant is nothing special. The cooking station is in the middle of the restaurant and you can see the chefs cooking. It too quite a while for our waitress to show up but I guess since she's getting a 18% gratuity I guess we would be put on the back burner. However, the owners son stepped and took care of everything for us. Brought us our wristbands and water. He is so friendly and extremely helpful. I definitely appreciate that. The tacos were absolutely delicious. They have carnitas, grilled chicken and shredded beef. They also have 1 vegan options and it was delicious, but I cannot remember the name. I will be back and I highly recommend 5 tacos and Beer. I am going to come back and check out their brunch.

Okay, I really want to love this place. First impression, location is great, inside was hip- vibe is good. But the food needs work. I want to be honest and give this place a chance and did not look at the reviews before coming in here. I ordered the fish tacos, birria, steak and Carnitas. Got guac and chips too.Let's start with Guac, it lacked flavor. I felt like it was missing salt or lime or both. Then the fish tacos - can tell it was coming before hitting the table. You can smell it, not in a good way. Birria was tastier than the other tacos. Service was fine, no complaints there. Food was definitely disappointing for five dollars to six dollars per taco. I would expect something more delicious for a place like this. You will definitely feel "I couldve gotten tacos at *insert local taqueria here". Good to take photos with tho.

Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner with a colleague. It's a casual spot with a very chill atmosphere so we were seated right away. We started with some guac and chips and mixed seafood ceviche as appetizers. Both were good. Tried the guide verde, al pastor, and octopus tacos. Octopus was tender with an interesting flavor. My favorite was probably the Al pastor taco. Also got a horchata for a drink though it tasted grainier than I expected. If you're craving good Mexican food at a great price, I would recommend trying this spot!

Not the best first impression and here is where the ball was dropped, oh heck... here is where it was slammed on the floor. Long story short: My husband and I + Baby C, were seated as soon as we walked in because surprisingly, it was really slow with maybe 2 other tables with patrons and a few people sitting at the bar. We sat around waiting for someone to help us. After 15 minutes we got up and started walking out. As we walked out, the hostess who sat us had the audacity to thank us for coming in. I looked at her and said, "we're leaving because no one came to help us." I can't make this up, it was quite comedic really. I do hope that the service gets better because per other reviews, the service can use some more training and developing. Good luck 5 Tacos & Beer.

Here's an honest review of 5 tacos and beers. I was impressed by the traditional clay pots and plates that were used to serve their dishes. The restaurant is a good size that can serve a lot of people. In terms of the food, it was NOT as good as I thought it would be. The food is VERY BLAND and we had to add salt for additional flavor. The salsa was not seasoned well and the amount provided for people on a brunch buffet was not adequate. The tortillas are only available if you ask for them. They are not placed on the buffet line. If you are looking for FLAVORFUL Mexican food do not come here. If you like bland food with minimal flavors this is your spot.
