My aunt and cousin has been trying to get me to try this place, so I finally had time and went with my cousin. This is truly a hidden gem! The food was excellent and the service was absolutely wonderful. I ordered the pork chops which was cooked to Perfection (trust me I have had some pork chops) More...

First time in Syracuse, decided to try this place out. I got the jerk chicken burrito, and it was amazing. The people I was with really enjoyed their food as well (super vegan burrito and especially the catfish burrito). Don't go expecting fast food, but know that your meal will be worth the wait. Really fun/artsy decor and vibe, and service was friendly and competent. Would definitely go again next time I'm in the area. More...

Every time I come back to Syracuse I make a stop at Alto Cinco for their catfish burrito. The spicy chipotle mayo on top is delicious and the fried catfish is just perfect. I got the burrito with a side salad and jalapeño cornbread. The location is great on Wescott with ample parking on the side streets. The service is great although they really need to clean their hot sauce bottles More...

Alto Cinco has definitely been a regular favorite of mine for over a decade. I love their crispy tofu burrito with dairy (pictured). They have $5 nacho specials and margaritas on Mondays which is great because their large nacho size has gotten smaller of the years with an increase in price, which is to be expected. Their Mexican pizza is also delicious, although it did used to be larger. It has a cilantro garlic pesto as the sauce and is topped with cheese, pickled onions, roasted red bell peppers and pickled jalapenos. Absolutely delicious! More...

Everything I ordered was delicious, everyone I talk to about Alto Cinco loves the place, too! But, the hands-down winner was the Triple X Sauce, made with pineapple and habanero peppers! I wish they sold bottles for take home. More...

Absolutely great Margaritas, and delicious food. Went with a large party and my wife and I had a great time. Don't let the main entrance fool you. This place is legit.

Alto always delivers on the comfort food, very dependable, great beer selection--generally up and coming cocktail spot. Bearded bartender Mike is kind, quiet and attentive, has great suggestions, able to whip up a drink on the spot. Always trust him to make me something delicious, even if it's not on the menu. One of my favorite bartenders in Syracuse, one of my favorite restaurants. More...

I've gone to this place a few times now! The food is great! The staff are really nice! There's seating outside. It's right next to the Westcot Theater! Good location for the restaurant! Seems to be a pretty popular place in town/the city. More...

Ordered take out via Grubhub. The California Burrito was generous and nicely wrapped. The meal left me satisfied and full without that dreaded heavy feeling. Generally a sign of quality ingredients. The Mexican grapefruit soda was quite good along with the cornbread and chips on the side. Two cons: 1. The food was a tad cold. 2. I mentioned to the delivery driver that I tipped via the Grubhub app. He said he was not made aware of this. Doesn’t this defeat the purpose of To Insure Promptness. (TIP) More...

Ordered the Jerk Chicken Plate with a classic margarita - absolutely amazing. This restaurant uses the freshest ingredients and it shows in the end product. Chicken had a good spice load. Ate every last bite of the meal. Definitely recommend this restaurant! More...

I have been to this place many times and finally decided to review it. This Mexican restaurant is the best place to eat for me at Westcott Street. There are other restaurants next to this but this is kinda my fav!! It has great ambiance and outdoor seating so I find myself enjoying the dim candle night dinner one day or a Taco Tuesday on a good evening of some other day. They have a lot of vegetarian options available and the waitress is kind enough to suggest to us their best veg dishes. I love their lime Jarritos a lot and happen to reorder that every time I visit. I would definitely recommend this place to go with friends/loved ones/alone (cuz why not)!!!! More...

Great location, atmosphere, and food. There is a decent selection of food and drink including several vegan options like nachos with vegan crema, a tostada, 2 different burritos, crispy tofu tingas, and a few entree plates. They also have great specials including Vegan Wednesdays with $5 vegan burritos and excellent vegan dinner plates available after 5pm. I'd highly recommend the vegan tostada and the BBQ tofu burrito.Street parking can get crowded on busy nights during the semester so plan accordingly. More...

The atmosphere is really cool! Food was outstanding. Maybe more Tex-Mex than Mexican, but that just means slightly different tastes and toppings. Like I said, food was great tasting. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. I will most likely go again. Oh, and it was very busy. We went at 7pm and it was packed. You definitely need reservations on popular nights. More...
