What Ernie Alderete likes about Los Cinco Puntos:
The 5 Points. Los 5 Puntos is named after the five way intersection it is located at. Just outside the LA City limits adjacent to Evergreen Cemetery. A neighborhood tradition for generations.Like a big Mexican deli with a free parking lot.Not a sit down restaurant, you line up to buy tamales, masa, menudo on the weekends, carnitas, guacamole and other bulk items to go. View all feedback. What Ivan E doesn't like about Los Cinco Puntos:
Honestly this place set some pretty high expectations given the ambiance with the tortilla grille and long line but sadly none of that translates into their food. These have been some of the blandest carnitas I have ever tried. From their burritos to tamales you taste the beans and maza more than the meat. View all feedback.
