Everything was absolutely delicious. The water, the aguas frescas, the tacos, everything! Service was good, vibe was good. I would recommend 10/10

My buddy comes down from Truckee every couple weeks for work, and last night we hit up 5 Tacos & Beers on College Ave (Elmwood) for Taco Tuesday. Everything was excellent. Warm chips and homemade salsa to start. Then we dove into the tacos: grilled rock cod, shrimp, octopus, and the Costilla De Res (short rib) – all on fresh corn tortillas. The presentation matched the flavors - colorful and inviting. It's family-owned and you can feel it. Great service, a welcoming vibe, really high quality food. Planning my next rainy day visit for a bowl of their homemade Pozole. Highly recommend.

Great place to eat inside or outside where there are tables with umbrellas along the sidewalk. Tri-tip tacos are scrumptious! The mixto ceviche, YUM! I like to pair these items with their guacamole and red salsa! Drinks are always on point . Gotta check them out and don’t forget to sign up for the points.

We did a small cater for 20 people and it was absolutely delicious!! Website is easy to order from and ordered night before for 1230pm pick up. The meat, all the flavors best all other taco catering options I looked into. The homemade tortillas stole the show. We had a vegetarian in the group and was able to order a few delicious things for her to eat as well! Most importantly, the customer service was top notch. The woman who answered the phone and presumably likely the one that helped me when I arrived was so kind and genuine. The gentleman that greeted me when I first came in at the host desk was extremely helpful as well. Super ease of order and pick up and kind people. Highly recommended!

Great ambiance inside with a cool see through liquor shelf and an open kitchen. The homemade tortillas are a fantastic touch and seeing the tortillas made in real time makes me nostalgic for my childhood where I watched tortillas being made in Chevy’s (and getting free tortilla dough to play with). The incorporation of the Mole Habanero from sister restaurant Los Moles was an appreciated touch as that’s my favorite mole sauce I’ve ever had!

Adela was a fantastic waiter, She coordinated multiple people ordering different things at different times as our party expanded after people got away from work. The casual atmosphere is perfect for having drinks and tacos after work with friends. Good local beer selection. The food is delicious and we had a great time.
