Alfredo and his family inside Cinco de Mayo in Lyons, Indiana

Our Story

Where friends become family.

Alfredo opened Cinco de Mayo with a simple idea: cook the way his own family cooked, and treat every table like it belonged to someone he loved. Two decades later, his wife and sons still run the business the same way — same recipes, same welcome, same insistence that you leave fuller than you came.

Regulars don't just order off the menu here — they ask for what they've always had, and the kitchen remembers. That's the whole point.
