Tacos Cinco de Mayo

I’ve been on the hunt for authentic tacos, and I’m so happy to say I’ve finally found them right here in St. James. Tacos Cinco de Mayo serves the best tacos in the area hands down. The portions are generous, and the sauce bar is a great touch that lets you customize your plate just the way you like it. So far, I’ve tried the brisket tostadas and steak tacos both were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. I’ve heard rave reviews about the al pastor and birria as well (though I don’t eat pork), and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just as amazing. The taqueria is cozy, with seating for around 8 tables, and their drinks are all made in-house. I really enjoyed the Jamaica and tamarindo, and they also offer horchata and passion fruit. It’s such a great addition to our town, authentic, flavorful, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

You will find amazing Mexico City style food here. Mexican American from Texas approved. I've driven all the way to Brooklyn just to eat tacos and this place still tops that. Al Pastor tacos are made trompo-style giving them the authentic taste that many places offering it wish they could achieve. I ordered the birria tacos without cheese as well and they were amazing. Additionally, they had at least 5 different salsas available for tacos. Just like taquerias in Mexico. Absolutely delicious. To even add more approval, they also sell an assortment of Mexican-style botanas (snacks) and paletas (ice pops). Old school Mexican bops playing in the back as well. You will not regret coming here. Possibly the most authentic tacos on Long Island.

I went to this place with my family and I thought it was great. The food is fresh and most importantly very, very delicious. I have eaten in other Mexican food places but this one has the best.

It’s nothing fancy, but the food was very good, especially the birria taco. They have a salsa bar with salsa verde, sour cream, guac, etc. You know the food’s going to be good when the cook has to translate my order to the lady taking my order. Lol

Easily one of the best Spanish foods restaurants I've ever been to. I've been going here for over a year at this point and everything is amazing. Everything tastes fresh

Most authentic, and delicious flavors that I’ve had within 50 miles. I plan on making this a weekly visit.

This is a Mom and pops authentic Mexican spot for those who like real Mexican food. I love this place. I order from there all the time to pick up and sometimes I dine in and have a beer or 2. Tips are not mandatory since you get your food from the counter and self clean your table, but I always tip at least something. There is a salsa bar where they have all kinds of toppings and sauces which I love! They have reasonable prices and the food is super tasty! I recommend the Al pastor burrito or the steak burrito, tacos al pastor and the birria taco, super yummy and very filling.

Best Mexican food I have ever had on Long Island. Portions are decent, would have liked a little more for the money but it was so good I'm not complaining.
