Mexican · Cocktail Lounge · Syracuse, NY
About
Walk into Alto Cinco and you'll hear laughter before you see the menu. The name means High Five in Spanish, and the fun starts there. Since 1995, this locally owned spot has served fresh handmade Mexican food, with plenty of healthy gluten-free and vegan options. It started as a small takeout joint, then expanded to a full-service dining room with a wine bar in 1999, and added liquor in 2014. The vibe is casual and inviting, with outdoor seating, happy hour specials, and a full bar.
You'll notice the sense of community right away. Sharing dishes is encouraged, and regulars often grab a seat on the smoking patio. It's closed Mondays and opens at 4pm on Tuesdays, but Wednesday through Sunday it runs 11am to 10pm. If you're exploring the area, you can also check out Strong Hearts Cafe nearby for another local favorite.
