“Cinco in WP is closing?”
– @trippler2k, Twitter
Editor’s Note: We were originally told the official closing happened on Sunday but we’ve been getting reports via staff that it the restaurant closed on Saturday.
Cinco Tacos and Tequila (Website) officially closed for business this weekend past Sunday, February 10.
A company spokesperson confirmed the closure with Bungalower earlier today but declined to comment on the future of the building or what they may have planned for the near future.
All Cinco social accounts have been closed, except for their Twitter page.
The “Cali-Mex” concept opened in July 2018 in the former Carmel building in Winter Park at 140 N. Orlando Avenue [GMap]. It was helmed by Greg Pranzo, a restaurateur with multiple Wahlburgers locations, and Guy Fieri’s American Kitchen and Bar in The Villages.
Pranzo opened Cinco with other backers, including actor Mario Lopez and former NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick.
Well, I think putting Tequila in the name threw it off…I never quite knew what it was..but it looked great! Sorry to hear that.
It was open less than a year? what happened?
It was so terrible… RIP
