“Authentic flavors of Mexico. All fresh, delicious. A fan of this restaurant’s food! Everyone should definitely try it!!! We had no much food. The photo shows just some of them. They also have a vegetarian menu.”
“Everything was wonderful! Let’s start off with the service. I wasn’t very familiar with the different types of sauces and they offered me a sample of each to try in order to help me to decide which sauce to select for my meal. Everything came out fast, and the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient. NOEL AND JOVANA were SUPERB! They showed us pictures of everything and explained all of the options and we really enjoyed the food. It was very good. Everything was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, but not over seasoned, but still light. We live in the neighborhood and will definitely come back again. Everything was fantastic!”
“This was my first great meal in days. So yummy and delicious”
“Comí la torta ahogada, recomendación del mozo. Exquisita!!!”
“We ordered shrimp & chicken tacos. Food was good. Service was good.”
“My first time there and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a fan of paying for salsa and chips. For the price they should be complimentary. I hate being nickel and dimed. For that, I probably won't return.”
“My wife and I are often in the Hyde Park area, and we finally decided to stop into 5 Rabanitos for lunch — and we’re glad we did! The menu has a great selection of authentic Mexican dishes, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful. Even though the restaurant wasn’t very crowded when we visited, it did take a little while to be serviced, which makes me think wait times could be longer if it’s busy. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming once we were helped, and the overall experience was enjoyable. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood and craving authentic Mexican food!”
