We arrived well before the posted closing time and were puzzled to find the tables and chairs stacked away, almost as if the restaurant were closed. Given that it was a Saturday, this didn’t make much sense. There were only two staff members working, so we had to set up our own chairs and rearrange a few tables. We ordered tacos and mulitas, and the tacos de asada were delicious! However, it took a while for our food to be ready, likely due to the short staffing. They also informed a guest who arrived after us that they were out of carne asada, which makes me wonder if that was part of the reason they seemed to be closing early. When it came time to pay, the cashier struggled to print a rece...
Taqueria 5 Mayo, while it boasts authentic flavors and a varied menu, falls short due to its inconsistent operating hours. It often closes early, leaving customers dissatisfied, particularly on popular Taco Tuesdays. This unreliability has affected its overall rating, resulting in a disappointing score of 1 out of 5. Numerous Yelp reviews echo similar sentiments, highlighting the frequent early closures. For instance, I arrived at 6:45 PM on a day they were supposed to close at 8 PM, only to find the restaurant already shut.
Taqueria 5 Mayo, despite promising authentic flavors and a diverse menu, disappoints with its inconsistency in operating hours, often closing early and leaving customers, especially on the coveted Taco Tuesday, unfulfilled. The unreliability in its hours impacts its overall rating, earning it a meager 1 out of 5, as the early closures seem to be a recurring theme mirrored by several Yelp reviews.

The owner and staff are incredibly friendly. The food is excellent and truly authentic. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area; you won’t find much better than this. Take the opportunity to let the owner share his inspiring stories and perspective on life while enjoying the best that Tijuana has to offer.

Excellent food and outstanding service! Everything is fresh and delicious. This is a wonderful spot to dine. The ambiance is lovely, enhanced by the pleasant music and efficient air conditioning. It's a great place to visit for the first time, and one that you'll want to return to!
I read reviews indicating that they might be closed during operating hours, so I decided to arrive 30 minutes before closing time. However, showing up at 6:45 PM on Taco Tuesday and finding them closed is just unacceptable.
Highly recommended! Everything is prepared in Tijuana style, and the meat is grilled over charcoal. Everything is delicious, and they truly capture the authentic Mexican flavor. The cost per person ranges from $10 to $20.
I had a long wait for three tacos, but in the end, they not only failed to deliver my order, but I also didn't get my money back. It seemed like the staff prioritized those who arrived after me.

The carne asada tacos here are amazing, served on freshly made tortillas! Everyone should give this place a try, as there are very few like it that are this good.
Make sure to try everything on the menu; everything is excellent!
