5 de Mayo Mexican Restaurant 5118 Southeast 14th Street, Des Moines, IA 50320

"Waaaaay Overpriced!!! , bad service, SALTY food & awful portion sizes. Clearly a failing business. We went at 6:30pm on a Tuesday. No one was there. I went to the bathroom & got a glimpse of the kitchen. DISCUSTING. Floors & walls falling apart, dirt everywhere. Bathrooms were constructed by someone clearly not licensed. Could barely sit on the toilet & close the door at the same time it was so tiny. Never going back. Yuck."

"Nicole is very attentive and she's very great at servicing our table, and checks on us to see how our food taste, we appreciate that she does that. And I have forgotten the other ladies name, she is also very good and attentive to our needs and we always enjoy talking to won ,he always talking to us. We always enjoy your food and friendships there. Thank you for your services. Very much appreciated. Jim Manon and family"

"A nice hidden gem,across from walmart.it looks small but it's bigger then you think. definitely be back."

"If I could give this place six stars for service, I would. I brought a group of 80 (!) high school students here as we drove through Iowa. Brandon, Laura and Sandra were amazing. They set up an incredible buffet with several different kinds of meat and veg options, beans, rice, salsa etc. It was all within our budget and they included sodas and chips and salsa for every table. We had several students with dietary restrictions and they were super vigilant to ensure all students had a safe and delicious meal. The food was delicious, the ambiance was fun and the service was truly unbeatable. I hugged three of the servers because they felt like family by the end! Highly recommend!!"

"It's sad that this place doesn't have six stars. Great food, good atmosphere, and it is extremely clean! Very clean. So, clean, you hate to dirty a dish because you'll clean the plate every time. It's the best Mexican food I've eaten so far."
