5inco

My boyfriend and I were browsing Unilocal over the weekend, looking for a new restaurant nearby to try out. We stumbled upon 5inco and, after looking through the photos, decided to give it a try.
We showed up at 2:00PM on a Saturday (the day after New Years) and we were the only people there. The sole waitress greeted us and took us to a table. We had already browsed their menu online, so we had an idea what we wanted to try. We ordered the following: a Maracuya juice, Pinneaple juice, Chicharrones appetizer, a 5inco dog, a 5inco burger, and a side of garlic fries and cheese & bacon fries. When we received our juices, we were so surprised. They were the best fresh, natural juices we have ever had before. Absolutely delicious!
The food took a bit long to come out (about 20 minutes), but we understood why once we got everything. The Chicharrones were fresh and piping hot. You can tell they were just made. The burger was also hot and charred, straight off the grill. I was slightly disappointed with my hot dog just because it was too much bread and not enough meat/​toppings. Also, the lettuce inside the hot dog bun kind of threw me off (lettuce + hot dog = mehhh). However, the hot dog was topped with fresh chips and the always delicious pink sauce, so I would give it a 6 out of 10.
There’s a lot of other things on their menu that I am looking forward to coming back to try.

Photo number 12 of the sancocho looks like there is something looking back at me. I’m not kidding.
Also the pics from behind the counter with all the chemicals sitting next to bottles of Gatorade? Not good. Maybe that’s ok elsewhere, but not in my book.

When a restaurant owner offers to bring you (to your office) a spicy sauce that was left behind on a take oit order, you know he is putting service above all. And then there is the food. Well, in this case is pleasently different than your typical latin american restaurant anywhere in the area. It is prepared fresh and with a touch of home cooking most other restaurants no longer have the touch. You will not get a huge amount of rice (to compensate for a tiny meat portion) you will get instead a complete lunch, the old fashion way, complete with soup, salad, main course and optionally a delicious natural juice blended right in the premises. I will mention that my experiences are exclusively on a take out order basis.

First time I found this place on Unilocal I was looking for delivery. They were about 30 blocks away and they made the exception to deliver to my apartment anyways. Food was g r e a t !! We ordered several different items and they did not disappoint. Their deep fried Oreos with strawberry ice cream was so delicious I drove the second time just for it.

I decided to try 5inco the other night because I was being lazy and wanted something that delivered to my house. This is literally a 3 minute drive from me and I had never been. 5inco is an indoor soccer field, but also a restaurant. Since I’ve never been to the locations, this review is only based on the food I received via delivery.
The gentleman who took my order over the phone was nice and my food arrived quite quickly. I ordered a 5inco dog with garlic fries and a pan con bistec. The 5inco dog was delicious covered in melted cheese, potato sticks, and that delicious pink sauce they put on everything — definitely the best thing I ordered. The garlic fries were just regular fries with garlic salt on them. They were good but I guess I was just expecting something a little bit different. The pan con bistec, which came with regular fries, was my least favorite dish. The sandwich itself tasted good, but the steak was very chewy and I couldn’t really enjoy it (to be fair, I’m pretty picky about my steak — my boyfriend had no issues with it).
I have to give the food 3.5 stars. However, I definitely would like to try this place again and order some more of their other dishes. Hopefully, those are just as good as my 5inco dog was!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s a hidden gem but the food is so delicious. The menu it’s filled with a vast majority of food options. Anything from picadas to juicy burgers is on point. From the moment I arrived I was greeted with a smile from the friendly staff. They were more than willing to answer any questions I had about the menu options and made some great recommendation. I really liked the ambience. The hotdog was the best I ever had. I recommend the king kupa dog. Just make sure you bring your appetite cause the portions are big and delicious. My boyfriend had the paisa burger and he said it was amazing. We had the quesadillas as an appetizer and all I can say is wow. Overall this place is really a five star establishment and if u haven’t been here you must come.
