Cinco Mexican Grill

make sure you keep your receipt and check it against you credit card statement.

The meat was very flavorful, not the highest quality I’ve ever had on a fajita or taco for the price but the flavor was delicious.
Food was served very hot and fresh however the beans and rice were mediocre.
Service was very attentive and friendly.
Nice atmosphere. Music was loud but upbeat.

The restaurant was clean with cheerful music and staff. Homemade guacamole was delicious and fresh. Meats were very flavorful. The cinco bowl was really good. I will come back.

Seriously AMAZING Mexican food! I’m not a fan of Mexican food, but because of this place, I love it now! The tamales are delicious and even though I want to try other things on the menu, I can’t ever order anything beside the tamales because I know I’ll regret it later. The music is great, the ambience is beautiful, and the service is awesome. We go there at least twice a month now.

The food here is not out of this world delicious, but it isnt bad either. I ordered a dish that had grilled steak, chicken, and chorizo and it was fairly decent. We have been to other Mexican restauranta in the area and this falls about middle of the road by comparison. The service is spotty, but the adult drinks are delicious! They certainly don’t skimp on ingredients from the bar.

Huge servings, great taste. Salsa is fresh with fresh herbs. Delicious, and great pricing. Service is great as well.

Best shrimp tacos ever. My wife and I are addicted to them. I dream about them… Service is great, the place is clean, and you get bottomless chips and salsa while you wait for the food. And, it’s right across the road from where we live, which is freaking awesome! You have to support this place and come.

A must visit! Great staff, excellent menu.
Margaritas are also big and refreshing.
We had the carne asada… yes, wow. So tasty! Great beef!
The sopes (chicken and beef) are cravable… you will wish you got more, or some to go!
This is a hidden gem in Bluffton. Right off the Parkway so come check it out.
I will return again and again!

My oldest son said, dad let’s try that new Mexican place by our dentist. I said ok, so on a Friday night at 7:30 pm we drive over. We are greater by a friendly enough hostess, and we’re quickly seated, but before we even get settled into our ginormous table, our waitress shows up asking if were ready to order drinks. I’m with my 8 year old son, and my 14 year old is on his way from the car. I tell to give me 5 minutes. No less than 2 minutes pass and she’s back. I tell her nicely that we want time to study their gigantic menu. When she comes back she wants our drink order, so I tell her in Spanish that we want time. Before she leaves though, I do ask her in perfect Spanish if the food is better than the pictures on the menu? She didn’t answer me. When we were ready to order, I ordered the fresh Guacamole, strike one! It’s served in a small tortilla bowl, which is placed on this huge plate, and served. It was left all by itself to swim on this plate, with nothing to stop it from sliding all over the place. As a chef, I would have placed it on something a bit smaller, and I would have somehow garnished the plate, and surely I would have seasoned the guacamole. We ordered our dinners, my oldest son had a cheese only quesadilla, (it was laden in grease) I still can’t figure out why there was so much oil on his plate. The Exxon Valdez oil spill left less oil. My youngest want the corn dog from the kids menu, as he was eating it kept saying it tasted of plastic. After hear him talk about plastic, took his hot dog and took a bite. And there it was… the hot dog still had its plastic casing on it. (You can’t blame the restaurant for this) I’m sure they bought their corn dogs frozen, so the manufacturer missed on dogs casing. I made him stop eating it and asked him to work on his fries. Strike 2.
As for my dinner, I ordered the Carnitas, if you know anything about carnitas, you know it’s like a confit of pork… chunks of pork slow cooked in its fat so as to make the pork extra tender a full of flavor.
The pork was tender, and had some good flavor, but it was the driest pork I had ever eaten. The rice had very little flavor and had peas, and what looked to be like Lima beans or edamame in it. Again it needed seasoning! The beans were pretty good, but we’re slathered in cheese. The food came out in like less than 10 minutes, that’s good! But for a Friday night, I’m not so sure they had the numbers this place needs to survive. Our waitress seemed a bit bored, because she was at our table about 6 or 7 times in the 45 minutes we were there.
There are so many real mexican restaurants here in the Bluffton/​Hilton Head area that are so far ahead of this place. With food like this, a menu whose pictures look like the were put together by a Chinese restaurant, and an over bearing server. This place won’t be long for the auction block. I’m sorry to say one star, but they’re lucky Unilocal doesn’t allow for a lesser review.

Went here for dinner tonight and I think we finally found the best Mexican restaurant in the area. Very nice wait staff and the store is very clean. Go check it out

I have been going to this place ever since it opened up. The first couple of times it was a little rough while the staffing figured out a system that works, however now I will recommend this place over and over. Always excellent food and service. Quick and polite waiting staff. Food prices are spot on, drinks are very well made. I’ve done both lunch and dinner hour, leave satisfied every time. You will not be disappointed with this up and coming Mexican restaurant!

The interior is good looking, the staff helpful. The food was just par, however the drinks excessively priced. There are better deals on Mexican restaurants in Bluffton.
