5 Estrellas Restaurante — straightforward mexican in Back of the Yards. The flavors are genuine, nothing diluted. You're greeted like a regular, even the first time. Dulce Yanez: "Oh and the pina colada is the best in the city, you can't beat their recipe"

“Fantastic restaurant - excellent food, customer service, and ambience.”
Fantastic restaurant - excellent food, customer service, and ambience. Love visiting anytime I am in town. Their carne asada is delicious, but so are their breakfast dishes, enchiladas, chilaquiles, sopes, and drinks too! The handmade tortillas are perfection. Food was so amazing and their warm homemade salsa is so delicious accompanied by their tostadas. Convenient and free parking lot available. Please support this local business - you won't regret it! 🙂

“Wonderful place to go during any time of the day.”
Wonderful place to go during any time of the day! I have come here during morning and night. The breakfast menu is quite appetizing, the orange juice is done on the moment so it’s extra fresh. I will say do some of the items can be hit or miss depending on the person so look out for that. The night menu is extremely delicious! I prefer it over the morning one and the best part of coming at night is the ambience a lot of nice Mexican music and the people celebrating with it. Truly a must eat place👀

The food is great, full of flavor and portions are great. The wait on food doesn't drag plus their service is amazing. The virgin Pina colada is super yums.

“Nice place to eat Mexican food.”
Nice place to eat Mexican food. Had the Carne Asada dinner. The meat was seasoned and cooked perfect. The beans and rice were great too. And to top it off, they serve home made tortillas. The home made tortillas are some of the best I've ever had from a restaurant. Prices are very reasonable. The staff treated me like family, was very happy with their service. I also got to meet the owners, they were visiting each dinner table and making sure everyone was enjoying their visit . On my visit there, they had live music performances. What a treat. The performers sang great Mexican tracks and the volume was just right. Some places go overboard with the volume. So looking forward to going back again.

“The coffee is amazing.”
The coffee is amazing. The cesina dinner is delicioso. Portion are very generous. The only suggestion is to serve hand cut nopales. "Not from a can it makes the food to salty.

“They have hand made tortillas.”
They have hand made tortillas. I ordered a quesadilla de cecina which comes with cheese, meat, lettuce and tomatoes. The tortilla was handmade and just the right thickness. Their salsa is served warm which I like because it doesn’t cool down my food like other restaurants that serve their salsa cold. On Tuesday they have margarita specials, I had the mango and it was great! Great food at reasonable prices. Make sure to try it out!
