Alto Cinco

I had an absolutely delightful experience at this Mexican restaurant. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a lively and **energetic crowd** of young diners. The ambiance was vibrant, and the aroma of sizzling fajitas filled the air.

Now, let's talk about the food. The menu boasted an impressive array of dishes, but my taste buds were particularly drawn to the **Diablo fries**. These crispy, seasoned fries were like a flavor explosion in my mouth! The perfect balance of heat and savory goodness left me craving more.

And let's not forget the cocktails! The bartenders here are true mixology artists. I sampled their signature margarita, and it was a revelation. The tangy lime, the hint of salt, and that smooth tequila--it was a symphony of flavors.

Overall, this place is a gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine and a lively atmosphere. Whether you're catching up with friends or having a date night, this restaurant ticks all the boxes. I'll definitely be back for more!

I love AC! I've been coming here regularly since they first opened. They've expanded their restaurant and bought out the restaurant next door in order to expand.

Their food has only gotten better over the years. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area; they have a take out counter, or you can eat in. There are multiple dining rooms, and in warmer months, there is outdoor seating as well.

The decor inside is very electric too. I love the designs and decorations around the restaurant.

I love their drinks, chips and salsa, quesadillas, burritos and enchiladas. Everything I have ordered here has been fresh and delicious.

I can't wait to come back here again soon.

It's been six years since I've been here. I was going to a concert at the Wescott Theatre next door so we thought we'd hit up Alto Cinco beforehand. Last time I was here I really like the place. You know how sometimes you like something and you haven't had it in a while and you remember it being better than it was? Now imagine the opposite of that!!! It was better than I remembered. There's is the gold standard of nachos! Very cool atmosphere albeit a bit crowded (because of the concert). I look forward to going there again......soon!!!

loooove this spot!!! very cool, dark, cozy vibes inside. parking is easy enough in the westcott area as well. service is consistently great, always friendly, attentive, and they make great recommendations. margs and other cocktails are great, and i don't think i've ever had a bad meal here. i love their chips and queso, tacos slap too. everything is reasonably priced as well (margs are like $11 which i feel like is slightly less than other spots). i definitely recommend alto cinco for anything from casual drinks with friends to date nights!!

I was thinking that this would end up a 4, but it's becoming a regular for me now that San Miguel is out in Bville and "not the same." This, Papa Gallo, and Rio Grande are my recommendations; skip Margaritas and XO Taco (which isn't bad but it's a young vibe that seems more about the atmosphere than serving great tacos)

Alto has a menu of usual options, and usually a good value. Tacos might have too much in them for my desire, but it's not like it makes the taco itself meaningless and a couple of them makes a meal. The oddity for me is fried calamari, their's is great. Even with delivery. And this is one of the few places I've had success with delivery bringing fried foods. If you are close, give it a try

First time at Alto Cinco for a girls night. The service was great. We each got an order of tacos and a margarita. I got the plain margarita and the jerk chicken tacos with a side of rice. This was the perfect sized meal for me. Prices were reasonable for a trendy Mexican place. Definitely a good spot for girls night or date night.

This place has an intimate feel, good vibes, and tasty food. We were impressed with the quality of our experience. We will definitely be dining here again !

Food is always amazing! Service was good. I love the jalapeño cornbread. I always get the loaded burrito, it never fails

I recently visited Alto Cinco in Syracuse and had a mixed experience. Although it is marketed as a Mexican restaurant, the food is not entirely authentic. However, the dishes are well-prepared and the ingredients are fresh and of high quality.

I ordered the Bandito Tostado and the Mexican Pizza, and both were quite good. The Bandito Tostado had a crispy tortilla and was topped with flavorful black beans, avocado, cheese, and salsa. The Mexican Pizza was a unique twist on a classic dish, with a crispy crust and melted cheese topped with various toppings.

Although the food may not be entirely authentic, it is well-prepared and flavorful. I would rate my experience at Alto Cinco 4/5 for the good food, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

One of my favorite places to get drinks, with $5 margs on Tuesdays! They have a great list of cocktails and make them well so definitely try one or two signature cocktails while you're here. The interior is a really enjoyable space with string lights and tons of decorations. They go all out for Halloween too! The atmosphere always feels right here and the service is solid. The burritos are hefty and yummy, but I'd say the drinks are better than their food. Definitely a must try in Westcott.
