  So many options! I ordered the burrito with fried shrimp and onion rings and avocado, forgot what it was called, I think it was the "what are you doing with your life" burrito. Jokes aside, it was not bad, it was exactly what I asked for, but those 3 normally amazing things sort of blended together and the burrito just tastes like food. The women at the cash register were very nice and the food came out at after a reasonable wait. Definitely like that this place is 24/7. Would be good drunk food. Prices were meh.
  
  Long story short, this is a straightforward place, don't be overwhelmed by their menu-- normal Mexican fare is your best bet here.

  I've been to Cinco De Mayo a few times before and it was always just okay. Tonight we decided to take a visit and luckily there weren't too many patrons inside. I don't think I will be back because the customer service was so bad. The rude tone when asking if we were ready to order and annoyed look when asking for salsas is disappointing. On top of that when I get home, I find a few scraps of onion and cilantro in the tacos despite me asking ahead to make sure they came with the tacos.
  
  I recommend taking your money elsewhere and trying nearby establishments.

  The prices for what we ordered were outrageous. $3.42 for one pupusa and $3.50 for one taco de pescado.  WHAT!?  Maybe it's because I grew up in East Los Angeles with street tacos being no more than $1.50. I'll never get over WestLA prices on Mexican food.
  But I'm not a complete hater there were pros.
  It's right next to Titos Tacos that has lines out the door for the hype and it leaves this place overlooked and empty despite having similar options. We ordered and received our food quickly. Plenty of seating inside, and way more menu options then there competitive neighbor. (From breakfast to menudo)
  But why the 3stars?
  Their pupusas were hot and seemed freshly made same day. However, everything lacked flavor.
  The fish tacos had a mayo sauce with cabbage and the fish but the fish was bland and I had to douse everything with Chile and lemon. Same with the Papusas I got 3 cheese and my bf got pork and cheese. Again I had to smother them with the provided sauce. All n all it was basic and left me full but the prices for what we got I can't get ov

  Cinco de mayo is a restaurant that looks like your typical greasy fast food joint.  
  
  Walk up window located inside, as well as a small dining room with about 10 tables.  Few tables available outside.  Dinning room was clean, but could use a makeover.
  
  Fairly large menu, Mexican & American food available, as well as Mexican & American breakfasts.
  
  Been here before, for Mexican food, which is good, above average.  Today, I ordered a double cheese burger with fries.  Burger was OK, nothing special, fries were slightly over cooked, dry and just Luke warm.....like sitting under a heating lamp for awhile Luke warm.
  
  Workers behind the counter were OK, friendly & helpful.  Food usually comes out quick.
  
  With all that said, an average place to eat at, if your just looking for a simple place to fill up your stomach.  3 stars from me.

  Cinco De Mayo is open 24/7 and that is the best thing I can say about it. It is right off the 405 Freeway, North, get off on Washington or Venice Blvd. If you are hungry this place will do the job.
  
  Their food is traditional Mexican fare, but they also have burgers and pancakes. None of it is great. All of it is quite eatable. The portions are a good size and the prices a little more than a Taco Trunk, and any Taco Truck is better. But it was cold out, late and we wanted something at close to midnight.
  
  Parking is free in their lot. You can eat inside or out. Most take it to go. The service is friendly. There are no public bathrooms, so don't bother to ask. If you want to use a debit card, you have to spend at least $12.00, but they will take your credit card and cash, of course.
  
  If you are hungry, it is late and you are tired of driving around, you will be happy here.
