Cinco de Mayo Mexican Restaurant: Spicy Seafood Soup

New Clean very basic place with friendly Mexican Staff. Both time I ate here the customers were Mexican only and the Mexican Juke Box was really belching out Mexican Music -- Ya that kind of place. The Steak Nachos photo below were really tasty huge serving lots of steak and very tasty two Mexican cheeses, black beans, avocado, plus guacamole. Tacos are the real Mexican type made of 10 different meats to choose from, steak, chicken, Pork, goat, shrimp, spicy mexican sasuage, tripe to name a few. The first time I was there it was so packed with Mexican customers that I shared a table with two construction workers who told me that this was the new in spot for the Mexican community.

Favorite Dish: Caldo Camaron a very tasty spicy soup made with Shrimp, claims, Crab and Octopus. At Cinco de Mayo it is just loaded with big shrimp, and you add fresh onions, cilantro and lime juice to taste. They bring a big plate of fresh Tortillas and crispy Tostadas to eat the soup with., meal in itself for sure.
