My husband and I were passing through Fort Wayne and chose Birrieria La Cabaña based on the star rating and photos of the food. We didn't even realize it was Cinco de Mayo, or we probably wouldn't have chosen Mexican food, but fortunately we arrived on the earlier side. There were just a few people there, and we sat at the back of the restaurant, but by the time we left the place was totally packed. The chips and salsa are not free, but $2.99 isn't an unfair price, and the salsa was fantastic, the chips fresh. It was difficult to choose from the menu because everything looked and smelled fantastic. I was so pleased they had aguas frescas available and ordered a piña. It took a while to get our drinks and then our food, but it was worth the wait!
My husband ordered the cabana burrito and inhaled it. I looked over as I was savoring the third bite of my beef (you have a choice of beef or pork) birria burrito, and he was pushing his empty plate to the side. I laughed as he said he couldn't help himself; it was just too good. I took my time savoring every delicious bite. I also had to spend some time picking out what I perceived as way too many onions. A lot of people like a lot of onions, so I think it was probably a reasonable amount for most. I didn't mind picking them out; it does not affect my rating. This place is worth going out of the way for! And next time I'll just ask for onions on the side.
The restaurant was clean and pretty typical cantina style decorations. Parking is beside and behind the restaurant, and if walking from the back, one should be cautious on the busted sidewalk, which shifts as you walk on it in some places.
