Reviews for Cinco's Cantina in Epping, NH
I was pleasantly surprised. I did not expect much from a Mexican place in a strip mall in New Hampshire, but was in the mood for... a margarita. The salsa and chips immediately reminded me of a salsa that I used to love at a more "authentic" places I used togo to. I didn't try enough things to give five stars, but now I know it's better than I expected and will visit again when I'mhungrier. Read more
We used to stop here every time we went to Maine, even timing our trips so we could go. We haven?t been in a while and I won?t... likely make an effort again. The vegetarian options are plentiful, which is nice. However, the plates are hotter than the food.I was charged for a refill in a soda without being told it would be a charge, there was more ice than soda, and I didn?t requesta refill?the first one was not even gone yet but was removed from my table. The meal for two adults (with no alcohol) and twotoddlers who only got a side of rice was 70$. This is unreasonable to me. Read more
Food was pretty good. Had the burrito loco with steak. Overall was good, but very heavy on onions. The margarita though was... not good. Very watery and no alcohol that I could taste at all. Just not very good. Will go back for the food, not thedrinks... Read more
I do not normally leave reviews, good or bad, but as I sit here in upmost satisfaction finishing my beer after another wonderful... meal at Cinco?s Cantina I have to make an exception. This is simply THE BEST Mexican food you?ll find anywhere in New England!!Not at all like your generic run of the mill Mexican spots that litter southern NH. This is leagues better than any Mexican foodI?ve had in Southern California and it is very good out there. I sadly have not been to Mexico but I cannot imagine it being anybetter. And this is simply speaking to the quality of the food; which you can tell has, not only, the freshest of ingredientsbut you can also tell it is prepared with pride! I personally recommend the chicken street tacos, served right with corntortillas, black beans and the most wonderful rice you?ll ever taste. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, the home made hotsauces are out of this world. The green tomatillo sauce that comes with the tacos and the spicy habanero sauce that you mustrequest should be bottled and sold they are that good! Moving on from the food, the owner, Cresensio (hopefully I didn?tbutcher the spelling!), is an absolute gentleman and a true restauranteur. It shines bright that the owner is heavily involvedin every aspect of the business. From its amazing food, to the impeccably clean dining room and bar, right down to the wonderfulstaff he employs, Cresencio leaves nothing short of perfection. Prices are also very fair for this level of quality and service.There are very few restauranteurs left out there that are so passionate about what they provide to the communities they serve.No matter how busy he may be or how many people want to say hi to him he has always greeted every customer with a big smile andfriendly conversation in my experience! Truly impressive and simply a man at the top of his craft. I live over an hour away andonly stumbled on this gem while attending races at New England Dragway. Mexican was always one Read more
Had a Birria Taco (very good) and dinner nachos (just OK) could have used more cheese. Also did'nt have any jalapenos! Free... unlimited chips and salsa were very good and a nice touch. Margareta was OK and maybe a bit expensive - $10 for the one you seein the photo - big glass, but lots of ice. I would go again I think to try other dishes. Read more
This place is beautiful! Server, Jacob, was very friendly and helpful. We had the appetizer sampler, margaritas and dinner.... Everything was excellent. Portions were large and prices were very reasonable. I look forward to coming back Read more
I definitely give this place five stars for food, which was delicious and presentation was awesome, cleanliness was superb, and... service was excellent! I've been going into Manchester for a good Mexican food but think I have found a new favorite at Cinco'sCantina! Read more
Decided to stop last night on a whim, and my family and I were thrilled with our visit. The atmosphere was lovely. The service... was quick, and all the servers were very polite and kind. The food was amazing and was delivered very quickly! We had thesampler, and there was so much; all of it great. My wife ordered the vegetarian burrito, my son the chimichangas, and I had thebrickhouse burrito. They took food home, but I have quite the appetite and was able to finish it. They came on huge squareplates. Will definitely be going back again. Read more
