Cinco De Mayo Mexican Cuisine and Cantina

This place is well worth a visit and is going to be a regular stop for us! The service was great. Our server was very on top of it, informative and personable. Food was delicious. Drinks were very yummy Strawberry margarita! and I love the artwork and wall paintings. This is an independent Mexican restaurant not related to any of the Cebollas that have taken over Fort Wayne. Their menu is very different and provides a delightful selection. I had the chicken chimichanga and the hubs had Ribeye ala Mexicana, both dishes were very tasty. Fresh made guacamole and chips and salsa were a nice start to a great meal. We highly recommend you give them a try.

The meal portions were huge and all food ordered was delicious and impressive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming with tall ceilings, stylish and comfortable tables and chairs, and beautiful wall frescos. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. We will definitely be back! (Pictured: Chicano Chicken and Rice and Chicken Flautas - 10/10!)

Me and my husband decided to finally try this place out as we have heard from many people that it was good. We have another place that is usually our spot for Mexican food but wanted to see what all the fuss was about. We went for a lunch on a Monday around 1130 and we were one of the only people in there. Got seated right away, hostess was never nice and our server was at our table rather quickly. We ordered the table side Guac. I'm a Guac Snob and man when I tell you it was good it was GOOD! It was a creamier texture (which I prefer but like it either way) and the flavor was amazing. Even tho it had all the same stuff Guac usually does. What I absolutely liked about it was the person making the tableside Guac set a small spoonful in a dish and asked us to try it to see if it was to our liking and if we needed anything extra added. It was perfect! Chips and salsa were very on point. We both got the lunch El Ranchero Burritos (chorizo, queso, beans and egg) with rice and let me tell you and this Chorizo!! I've had a lot of chorizo and this has to be homemade at the restaurant bc it was so incredibly flavorful I couldn't get enough of it. Best Chorizo I've had yet. So, do yourself a favor and go and try this place if you haven't. Let's make sure we keep this place in business bc they definitely know what they're doing in the kitchen!!

I had the red snapper with Almond crusted. It was really good, specially the vegetables that came with it.

Cinco de Mayo is a true gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service, especially from Alexa, who made the experience even more memorable. The food was absolutely delicious – bursting with authentic Mexican flavors that left me wanting more. And the atmosphere? Simply perfect. It was lively and festive, creating a truly enjoyable dining experience. I highly recommend Cinco de Mayo to anyone looking for a fantastic Mexican meal with top-notch service and a vibrant ambiance. I'll definitely be back!

This is the best Mexican food we have found in Fort Wayne so far. The empanadas are very delicious! The salsa has just a little kick to it. The food presentation is very delightful and the flavor is spot on!

Haven't tried everything on the menu yet, and have had mostly great meals. Made the mistake of ordering one dish in their mole sauce, which was too spicy for me. Ended up ordering a horchata to finish what I could. Still, did not take any leftovers. Despite that, we have stopped going to the other Mexican restaurants around our neighborhood.

The menu has a variety of options! Each meal was full of flavor and every bite was simply delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming and the chef sent a desert that will have me coming back for more.
