Cinco’s Cantina is a family-owned Mexican restaurant with three locations across New Hampshire: Dover, Epping, and Rochester. Our mission is to serve authentic, high-quality Mexican cuisine while creating a welcoming atmosphere that fosters a sense of community.
Our History
Brothers Crescencio and Miguel, born and raised in Northern Mexico, came to the United States to pursue their dreams of building careers and strong families. Their journey led to the creation of Cinco de Mayo Bar & Grill, which opened in Downtown Dover in December 2014.
In February 2020, just weeks before the COVID-19 shutdown, they expanded to Epping with Cinco’s Cantina. In 2023, Cinco de Mayo rebranded to Cinco’s Cantina to unify the brand across locations. Most recently, the third location in Downtown Rochester opened its doors in August 2024, marking another milestone in the brothers’ inspiring journey.



Cinco’s Restaurants is truly a family business! Cinco’s Cantina is proudly led by the dynamic team of brothers Miguel and Crescencio, along with their equally dedicated wives.
Crescencio and his wife Erin have 4 children (Alysia, Lilyana, Nataliya, and Gabriel). Miguel and his wife Asia also have 4 children (Fiona, Dalia, Emilio, and Romeo). You’ll likely spot members of the Little Tellez crew pitching in at the restaurants in one way or another.
At Cinco’s Cantina, we don’t just serve great food—we support great causes. Since 2014, we’ve been honored to partner with numerous charitable organizations, donating more than $60,000 to causes that make a difference in the communities we serve. To learn more about our philanthropic approach, please visit our Community Giving page.
Together, this family-driven leadership combines passion, tradition, and dedication to create an inviting and vibrant dining experience. With a deep commitment to community, Cinco’s strives to make a meaningful impact beyond its doors. This shared vision ensures Cinco’s remains a place where guests feel like family while enjoying exceptional food, drinks, and service—all while supporting the community that supports us.
When you visit our restaurants, you’ll often find Miguel and Crescencio socializing with and entertaining customers while assisting our hardworking staff. Next time you’re in, grab a drink, say hello, and let us welcome you to our Cinco’s family!
