Master Critic Review
Cinco
8.6
Cinco is an Oaxacan-leaning neighborhood restaurant and bar where the burrito section shares the spotlight with mezcal, craft beer, and thoughtful small plates. Burritos come with well-seasoned meats, black beans, and salsa borracha, in a space that works as well for date night as it does for a mezcal-heavy group hang.
Must-Try Dishes:
Burrito with Al Pastor, Burrito Vegetal, Tacos al Carbon

What makes it special: Oaxacan-inspired burritos paired with one of the area’s deeper mezcal lists.
Who should go: Groups or couples wanting elevated Mexican and drinks.
When to visit: Evenings for happy hour or a relaxed, buzzy dinner.
What to order: Al pastor burrito, burrito vegetal, chips with guacamole y salsa.
Insider tip: Sit on the patio and pair your burrito with a mezcal flight for the full experience.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is available but fills up quickly after 6pm; limited free neighborhood spots nearby and a small paid lot behind the building (~$8–$10).
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans and a nice top fit in, but many guests lean slightly dressy for date night.
Noise level: Moderate buzz—lively but still easy to hold a conversation without shouting.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation, longer for larger groups.
Weekday lunch: No wait or very short wait; service is generally quick.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—there are solid vegetarian options, including the burrito vegetal and several small plates.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—1–2 modified burritos and vegetable-focused sides can be made vegan on request.
Gluten-free options: Partially—some items can be made gluten-free (corn-based options, certain plates), but burritos are flour-tortilla by default.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—low lighting, warm wood accents, and a thoughtful mezcal list create an intimate setting without feeling stuffy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often, yes—walk-ins are common, especially at the bar or patio, but weekend evenings fill up quickly, so arrive early for the best shot.
Is it kid-friendly? Somewhat—older kids and teens will be fine, but the mezcal-forward atmosphere and dim lighting make it less ideal for very young children.
Best For
Better for: Upscale-meets-casual Mexican dining with standout mezcal flights and elevated burritos you won’t find at typical spots.
Skip if: You want ultra-fast, counter-service burritos or strictly traditional Oaxacan food without modern touches.
