Standard fare and normal menu for most Mexican places today. I’d have given 4 stars but the food was not hot when it reached the table, lukewarm at most, it almost seemed reheated.

Delicious hole in the wall spot. Great atmosphere and food selection. Only 4 stars because there’s no 4.5: the tamale was over cooked on the ends & the guacamole was fresh but served as chunks and seemed watery but didn’t taste bad whatsoever. Interesting place and if I lived around here, I’d definitely return & have a drink or three!

sometimes the food is good sometimes its not, I guess it depends on who is cooking that day. also one waitress had her kid with her who looks about 2 or 3 yrs old and he kept going over to peoples tables to watch them eat. we have 3 kids and he actually came and sat down at our table with us and when we tried to talk to him he didnt speak any english making it very uncomfortable. not the childs fault but very unprofessional. also ordered carry out one time and when I ckecked my food it looked like pig slop. on a positive note, on a day when the food is good its actually really good. just want to add one more thing, the prices are very reasonable but when it looks like pig slop, then not so much

No delivery and the food is hit and miss. Sometimes it is fantastic and other times you would wish you had gone elsewhere. Good luck.

This place was a great find — came on Valentine’s day with my wife. Good food great ambiance for a small town restuarant. Reviews on Unilocal were helpful to choose this place.

Stop on your way to wherever you are going and get the Carne Asada Plate! So gooooodddd! Stopped in town for the night and we were looking for something different than the standard highway options and really glad we landed here. The décor is as fun as the folks running the place and the only reason not to give it a fifth star was that the tacos were rather bland. However, this is the Midwest and I guess they have to serve the audience here too. I recommend sticking to the more authentic options that are harder to find other places.

The only nice thing about this place is the amazing atmosphere.
Now for the bad: The guacamole had too much salt. The quesadilla was hard to eat and the chips and salsa tasted like they bought. The waitress had no knowledge of the food. Over all terrible food but beautiful atmosphere.

I’ve been here a few times when I’ve been up in the Necedah area for camping.
It’s a nice little Mexican restaurant, and given there are not that many good choices in Mauston, it’s a definitely place to stop when passing through.
Great Margaritas and good food.
My only complaint is that it is on the mild side… not a lot of popping of flavor or spice in anything I’ve had. I’m guessing that’s to satisfy the local residents who are not as familiar with Mexican food.
Lunch specials are a deal – $ 5 — $ 7 for a great plate of food. Can’t beat that. And their happy hour for Margitas is great also.

Took the kids here and everyone loved it! Great atmosphere, loved the unique tables and chairs! Cheese dip is great. Loved my large patron margarita. Kids specials all $ 4.99 with rice and beans. My husband and I shared the steak fajitas and the meat was incredible! Very nice and friendly waitstaff too. We had a great time and will definitely come back!

What a difference a year can make! I don’t know what has changed (ownership? cooks?) but something has happened to Cinco de Mayo, and it’s not good.
We’ve been consistently visiting this restaurant for the last few years, and absolutely LOVED it. My ex is Mexican, and I’m very familiar with the culture and the food (my suegra taught me how to make several dishes), so I’m no hack, and I know GOOD Mexican food when I taste it. And bad…
My husband and I stopped in after not being here since last fall. What the??? Everything was tasteless. Salsa had absolutely no spice and no flavor (I like my salsa mild, but still, it needs to be tasty). No more of the ranch dip mention in another post either — that’s GONE. And the chips tasted stale, and even «bitter» — like it was made in rancid oil. And they were cold.
Hubby and I both got the lunch enchiladas — barely any cheese on top, and the sauce, again, without any flavor. The chicken filling in mine WAS tasty, but the tortillas were bland. There wasn’t much cheese filling in the 2nd enchilada. Rice was OK, but again, very bland.
When we first bought our vacation home in this area, this place was amazing! Now… nothing to write home about. Too bad!

Cinco de Mayo is an unexpected gem. I am from Chicago and have been to one or two outstanding mom and pop Mexican restaurants. I usually order from the seafood section of the menu but haven’t had anything I wouldn’t order again. My favorites are Camarones A La Diabla (shrimp in a spicey chipotle sauce) and Shrimp Enchiladas Suizas in a tomatilla sauce to die for. The Enchiladas Del Mar (three cheese enchiladas with scallops, shrimp and crab) is excellent as is the Carnitas. My only disappoint is no mole dishes. I can’t get enough of this place. Outstanding food with no frills.

This is a new restaurant located in the former site of the Eastern Chinese Restaurant, across from the Kmart shopping center, near the Blockbuster.
One of the neater things was that they offer an unusual type of spicy ranch dressing to dip the chips into.
Their guacamole was a bit spicy for me. The other items that we ordered (enchiladas and burritos with refried beans and rice) were too salty and very mediocre.
On the other hand, their tacos were absolutely awesome! My boyfriend said they were flash-​fried which made them so tastily cruncy and delicious. I’d come back and just order tacos — I think they have some type of taco special to go.
If you’re in the mood for great Mexican food, take the short drive to La Tolteca in Portage instead — but if you just want tacos, this is the place for an authentic Mexican taco.
