Cinco - Columbus

The $2 traditional tacos on Tuesdays and Saturdays is what you need. Delicious Quesadilla. Great spot speedy service.

My friend and I stumbled upon this place by accident. We were attending a summit at the nearby theater and broke for lunch. We were heading to a close by well known taco spot, but the line was so long. A lot of us had the same idea, apparently. We decided to venture a little further out, aimlessly walking down High street and I noticed the sign and no wait. Bingo! Upon walking in, we saw the order kiosks and intuitively started entering our orders, thinking it might’ve been like a ghost kitchen or something. After placing the order, we followed voices to where we assumed people were waiting on their food. But boom, it was a whole restaurant and an order line/Cashier. Saw a pick up shelf, and was a bit confused whether they’d call us, or if we had to go to the Cashier to let them know we were here. We took our seats and shortly after, a friendly staff member came with our food trays. Perfect. I ordered a flour Street Taco and another but can’t recall the name, believe it was pork. Both were actually good. Nothing to really write home about, was average, but very tasty tacos. The pico was delicious, and fresh enjoyed that. If I’m on that side of downtown, and the other taco place has a line I’d definitely give this another try.

To be fair, I ordered via GrubHub as an OSU student. I'm a San Diego, CA native, grew up in the barrio, and taquerias are one of the things I miss the most about home. Cinco's steak tacos absolutely remind me of the street tacos I'd get from Humbertos taqueria in my old neighborhood. Marinade is on point, guacamole is very fresh, and reminds me of both my neighborhood and the shops we'd visit in Tijuana. Thanks for the little piece of home!

I got the Birria tacos, and my man got the steak street tacos. 1st time Birria....so good.

The only bad thing I can say is the parking. The place is well lit. Food is pretty good. I have to pork belly tacos. You can order various ways when you come in. You have to kind of go to the right to find the place. Still not hard. Just look at the pictures and signs. If you go to the left. There's ordering station then you have to come around to pick it up. They do have a TV in as well. Lit plenty of seating. You can sit by a front window and look out if that's what you want. But again the only downside is the parking. It's not a place you just say. Hey guys, it's all meat down here because everybody's going to be scrambling trying to find parking cuz it's really not a lot. Maybe later in the evening it might be but they're not open long hours on Monday and I believe they close at 8:30 throughout the week so you would have to come down after 6:00 when all the work crowd is gone to. Hopefully find parking if you're coming in a large group of people
