Reviews For Cinco's Cantina - Dover

Normally, I take photos, but I was starving and ate my meal before even thinking about taking a photo. The only pics I got were of dessert and seating area. Along the strip, which has limited parking. When we went in the afternoon it was not busy and we got seated right away. Nice atmosphere. Their seats are made of barrels, I believe. Chips are fresh and salsa mildly spicy. They serve Pepsi products. We ordered fajita nachos. It's enough for two people to share. Trust me, and add refried beans to it. Seasoned well and cooked perfectly. My favorite thing was the refried beans; they taste authentic. The fried ice cream is great, but to take it over the top, I recommend adding more chocolate sauce and caramel drizzle and also coating the taco shell in sugar and cinnamon. I would eat here again.

Went to Dover location for the first time to contribute to the St. Jude fundraiser that is being held November 13th. The fundraising will continue for the rest of the month to a lesser degree. The food and service were excellent. My wife and I had Mole Maria and a Dover Carnitas Burrito with Colorado Chili Sauce. Both were large portions. After starting with Cinco's excellent chips and salsa, we could only finish half of our entrees. If you like Mexican food you need to try this place. I've also been to the Epping location, and the food there was also excellent.

Had a Grilled Chicken Fajita Quesadilla, which was amazing, and Spinach Dip, also fantastic!! Our waitress was very attentive and good conversation!! Tried Fried Ice Cream for the first time and while I did not care for it I appreciated the smiley face lol!! I loved the Sopapillas and the Churros were great!!

This was the first time I ordered from here and it was amazing. The taco salad was full of flavors and the jalapeno poppers had the right amount of cream cheese and pepper together. The enchiladas were very savory had the perfect balance of heat and the churros were so soft and sweet which was amazing!! Also it came with a bag or tortilla chips and salsa which is a nice little appetizer. They are also very accommodating when you can’t have certain things or don’t like certain ingredients like my husband is not a fan of sour cream so they made sure not to make his enchiladas with sour cream which was very kind of them. Thank you for a great first experience I will definitely be coming back!

I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants, and this one is by far one of the best. The drinks were amazing, and the food was even better. Our waitress, Ariana, was one of the most knowledgeable and pleasant people I’ve ever met. She turned an already great experience into an unforgettable one. I’m torn because I live two hours away, but it’s definitely worth the trip. The people of Dover, NH are truly lucky to have a place like near by.

This place rocks! I think I visited a long time ago. Now I may possibly go day and night 24/7. I'm still eating the steak burrito that I got. Delicioso!!:)

We were randomly in the area for work. Our server was wonderful, and our food hit the spot. They also should get extra points for having a menu section called "dinner nachos."
