They are reopened and the new AC is wonderful! The Salsa is to die for The Shrimp Ceviche is the best I have ever found ( anywhere) I am generally not a Mx. food fan, but as Mr. Nelson says this place has "made a believer out of me"! The Shrimp Brocheta ( kebab) is my favorite dish. But the taco salad is a very close second. I have been several time with good size groups and have never had anyone say their dish was anything but wonderful. They have a very nice selection of imported sodas, and sweets as well. This place looks a little rough from the street but once in the door it is just like home cooking! Best Mx. cooking in Oklahoma! read more

Sad News.... After thirty years in business Cancun will be closing. The last day of business is December 30th 2025. Your last chance for excellent Mexican food, friendly service and the best salsa in Tulsa. read more

Eight of us came here tonight and ate such good and authentic Mexican food. Oh wow! The Chile Rellenos were delicious. The guacamole was the best ever. The service was friendly and efficient. Every thing was fresh. I will bring my friends and eat here often!!! read more

Always hit the spot for Mexican food! Love their chile rellenos! Very friendly service!

Their food is always so good, generous portion, full of flavor. Great shrimp cocktail too. And by far the very best refried beans we've ever eaten. I've never cared for refried beans, but theirs are simply delicious -- have even ordered a pint to take home sometime. Love their fajitas and chimichanga and burritos, , read more

Wanted to try another new (to us) Mexican place. When we walked in here, I realized I've actually been here once before a few years back. I don't remember much from when I went back then, but I just recognized the general layout. Speaking of layout and general atmosphere, the place isn't very big. Definitely a more hole-in-the-wall style. There aren't tons of tables but enough to serve who's in there. It's a bit crowded in terms of not a tons of walking space between tables (I think partly because the slightly odd shape of the building). It wasn't uncomfortable though. Yes, we were seated pretty close to the people at the table right beside us, but I didn't feel like it was a problem. I was worried about the salsa based on pictures I saw on Yelp, but it ended up being better than I expected. It did have quite a strong tomato sauce flavor and was pretty liquidy, but it also had more of a kick than I thought it would. I didn't ask for anything more spicy. The chips were somewhere between the super thin kind and the stale too thick kind. While I did see the chile verde in the menu (which is almost always my choice), others at the table ordered it so I figured I'd mix it up a bit. I ended up with the pollo a la diabla. It's described as chicken in a hot and spicy sauce, so I figured that seemed like something I'd like! It also came with a side of rice and beans. I thought it was all good. The sauce had almost a barbecue flavor to it. I didn't feel like it was extremely spicy, but there was a mild amount of heat there I guess (though to some it's probably plenty spicy, it's just hard for me to judge sometimes since I have such a high spice tolerance). I was also happy that there was a bit of sliced avocado on top. Yum! The rice and beans were good too, nothing necessarily memorable about them though, I just remember that they were good. Last thing before I forget to mention it, they DO take cards now instead of just cash like in the past. So paying is more convenient! read more

Today I was craving some spicy food. I usually have a seafood dish at Cancun, but decided to try something more spicy. I have a new favorite chili relleno in town. It came out steaming hot with a side of rice and beans and flour tortillas. Fantastic. Also ordered the guacamole appetizer and it looked and tasted well made with just the right texture. P2 had the tostados which were piled high will a beautiful mix of guacamole, lettuce, meat, and more goodness. She was quite happy as well. The owner took great care of us and made us feel welcome and helped when I need some suggestions. The salsas were actually rather tasty. The red had a lot of flavor and just enough picante to almost make me not need the hot stuff. But I always need the hot stuff and it added a great zing to the plate. I took some queso, chips and salsa home for snacking later. I highly recommend Cancun and I will be hitting this place weekly because it really hit all of my buttons. read more

Best Mexican food in town, imo. The food is so fresh and seasoned to perfection! Very casual atmosphere with superior service. Kind of a diner type atmosphere. But the food! Delicioso! And you can enjoy a whole fried fish dinner, if that's what you're looking for. Prices are very reasonable. read more

This restaurant is great! The salsa has great flavor (I suggest asking for the hot one as well). Service is friendly. Their chicken fajitas are amazing. Extremely fair prices! Must try! read more

Disappointed. I'm not sure what's going on, but this is the third time in the past month or so that I've tried to order from here. All three times the restaurant was closed without notice and no message was left for people calling to see whether the restaurant was open. I'm not sure if this closing is temporary or permanent, but it's unwelcome. read more

I've been worried that many of my favorite restaurants will not survive these trying times. I've already lost places I really enjoyed (Swamphouse) and lately have worried that other of my favorites may not survive. I stopped by Cancun today as they opened (11:00) and was the first in, greeted immediately. As usual both staff had masks on. Chips and my favorite salsa was brought to the table . I ordered my usual lunch special #10 and a mandarin Jarritos. The food was brought out promptly and was excellent as usual. I got refried beans this time instead of my usual charro beans. It is all good and I hope Cancun survives. They're too good to fade into the darkness. read more

the food was delicious, been difficult to find good Mexican Food since we moved to Tulsa from Austin. Prices are extremely affordable as well, staff is very friendly & courtesy. read more

We always have a great experience at Cancun. The food is always hot, fresh and yummy. The portions are always big. If you leave here hungry it's your own fault. The service is exemplary. The restaurant and restrooms are always clean. We will always come back for more. read more

I used to frequent this place when I was young, but neglected it when I moved back. Big mistake. The salsa & chips as elsewhere noted are near perfect as are the rice and beans, which is important. The enchiladas are solid for the basic Tex-Mex type style. I am a big fan of the chile verde and very happy they have a chile Colorado. They have both sit down and call-in right now; you can get the menu off their website. I've been getting quoted 10 minutes and it is always ready. read more

Loved the food and service! Posole very good and the tamales were amazing! Will be sure to arrive earlier for lunch specials. read more

first, i like how the hostess/waitress kept it real when i first ordered the lobster enchiladas. she stated that they haven't served it in sometime b/c they only way they serve it, is fresh, not imitation. so with that being said, i went with the crab & man did i make the right decision. every bite just melted in my mouth. along with the rice & beans, that took it over the top. even before that came, the chips & salsa (alone) were incredible. i should've ordered a big thing of their salsa to take home, i might have to do that next time. in addition to what i had, a friend of mine ordered a super burrito & it's exactly what you'd imagine. i wasn't shocked when she took a little more than half of it to-go with her. read more

The food is always good, but the service needs work. An older woman seems to always work waiting tables when I'm there and I have never had a "Hello" or "Welcome" from her, nor have I seen her attempt to smile. She is rude and acts as if we're intruding on her time. No drink refills and no one checked on our table after food was delivered. There are simply too many good restaurants in Tulsa to go out of my way for such poor service. read more

Hands down top 3 Mexican restaurants in Tulsa for me! As a native of California, a travel pro and being a large man that knows what I want......... it's easy for me to give Cancun a huge !Yelp shout out in hopes it draws in the crowds!! So to start this is a fairly small location so don't bring a party of 30. Probably won't be able to get that many in. However small groups will work or even just one or only you!!! It's a huge deal for me now as they recently started accepting plastic and not just cash. Big WIN!! on to the food!!!!! EAT IT!! Whatever you see on the menu. Try it. I'm a huge fan of the carnitas burritos with Verde salsa. Sooooooo goooood. The Tortas very much remind me of the sandwiches I enjoyed on the west coast. But dude I tell you..... the salsa that is served with the chips when you sit down. KILLER! It's obvious it's made in house and is delicious. It's clearly a representation of how they do things...... with care and craft. A must try in Tulsa!! read more

This use to be my favorite Mexican restaurant but recently when ordering a chicken enchilada dinner there couldn't have been more than a table spoon of shredded chicken across all of the enchiladas, this wasn't the 1st time either. Also, as another post mentioned is Clelia's behavior, it's borderline rude and she has a careless attitude toward most patrons like we are a burden she must endure. She should bring back her son who was always pleasant and friendly. Not far from Cancun is Rio Verde and they have excellent food, a friendly staff and very accommodating. They are my new go to. read more

Everything was good. My wife forgot she has eaten there before and enjoyed the food....

Chile colorado burrito is probably the best Mexican food I have tried in Tulsa. Highly recommend. Went in for lunch.

ALWAYS THE BEST SERVICE & FOOD. I've been going here for years with my family! I'd say around 15+ years. The cute couple who own this restaurant are always on point, so nice and welcoming. Of course the food is to DIE for so authentic & fresh I mean comes out hot and the quality is 100. My mouth is actually watering while typing this review... read more

Cancun International Restaurant - Steak fajitas & Monster Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

This was my first visit to this location but will not likely be my last. Upon arriving during the lunch hour it was easy to see that this is a popular spot. There were people in almost every single table except for the one that my small group needed. We were seated rather quickly and served some fresh chips and salsa. Now, I am going to talk about the food. First, their chips were nice and crisp and were not stale. The salsa has a fresh taste y pica un poquito. They will also bring you more if you run out. Second, I had to get the carnitas burrito and it was tasty. Aside from being a rather large burrito, the pork itself was very tender with a more than agreeable flavor for your palette. Their menu has quite a variety of dishes that would satisfy the desires of almost anyone looking for some delicious food. Finally, I am going to talk about the location, building and payment options. The place is located on a corner in a rather small building. If you are the claustrophobic type then this might not be the place for you. And the last thing, which is a negative in my book, is that they are a cash only business. So, be prepared if you go there for the first time and have cash with you. Take your family or friends, try the food and have a good time. read more

I love finding (thanks to yelp) little places hidden around Tulsa! The place is cozy and very homey feeling. We were greeted with our own salsa and chips! nom nom! I ordered the enchilladas- Sour Cream Chicken, Verde Chicken, and Shredded Beef. I liked the variety and they were very good. The beans were just ok, but I thought the enchilladas were quite good. My friend ordered the Carne Molida Burrito. I tried it and it was pretty good but nothing special, basically ground beef mixed with rice. I suppose this place gets 4 stars just cause it's a really welcoming fun little find, and the food is very good and wonderfully priced. It makes me happy! Also, the woman and I had a lovely convo in Spanish... it was quite short because I only know like 5 words, but she was so cute and friendly. :) read more

Very solid place for enchiladas! I had the combo #1 for a late lunch (takeout): three enchiladas, one chicken, one cheese, one beef. The enchiladas were filling, tasty, and well-sauced (just the right amount), but I think some vegetables thrown in (an avocado? a tomato?) would be nice. People usually mess up refried beans, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well done they were. Not too thick, not too soupy. The prices are also reasonable, which is another plus. Not my favorite Mexican restaurant in Tulsa, but certainly a solid contender. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant! I love the chicken chile relleno...so delicious, as is everything else. Every time my mom is visiting from out of state, we have to make a visit here. It is her favorite, too. Wonderful food!! Family owned, sweet people. (Fyi-bring cash, they don't take credit cards) read more

Cancun International Restaurant - Chicken Chili Relleno...yum - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I absolutely love Cancun. The Tacos, Super Burritos and Enchiladas are some of the best. The staff is friendly and service is above average. If you have a chance to meet the owner, she is wonderful, always remembers her customers. Lunch gets extremely busy and sometimes you just can not get in. If you have a chance to visit on a Saturday or Sunday, they serve a wonderful, authentic, Pasole. If you love Mexican Food, especially Tacos, this is the place in Tulsa. read more

These were good tacos, but they weren't my favorite in Tulsa. The chips and salsa were really good, and our waiter was generous with refills of both. I got the chivo (goat), carnitas, lengua (beef tongue), and cabeza (beef cheek) tacos. Each was topped with iceberg lettuce and some shredded cheese. Each one was delicious and well-cooked, but for some reason, they weren't setting off my taco meter. I would still recommend this restaurant to people who want some tasty Mexican food. Service was really friendly. As others have mentioned, cash only. read more

Cancun International Restaurant - Carnitas, chivo, cabeza, and lengua tacos - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Best Mexican food in Tulsa. The salsa is awesome. The white queso is runny but so so so delicious. The main entrees are huge, delicious, and fresh. It is more expensive than most other Mexican restaurants in the area but totally worth it. We eat here about once a week due to addiction. read more

Cancun International Restaurant - Love me some Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Their food is always so good, generous portion, full of flavor. Great shrimp cocktail too. And by far the very best refried beans we've ever eaten. I've never cared for refried beans, but theirs are simply delicious -- have even ordered a pint to take home sometime. Love their fajitas and chimichanga and burritos, too. , read more

Bring your cash - no credit cards or checks accepted. Great authentic Mexican flavor. I had the shredded pork super burrito ($7.25), and it was wonderful. My wife had the 3-taco dinner, and enjoyed it, but she couldn't finish her portion, and had to take it home. Soda is free refills, but no free refills on the aqua frescas (Horchata). The Horchata tasted good, but there was a little more cinnamon in it than we are used to. read more

This is the best Mexican food in the entire city. I used to live in a little house right across the street and this was a staple of my diet. Try the shrimp cocktail, the mole, the menudo--actually, try everything. Their salsa is some of the best I've ever had. Prices are cheap as hell and the service is friendly and fast. Don't let the shabby decor and shady neighborhood scare you away. There's a reason 90% of the clientele don't speak a word of English. Eat here once and find out why. read more

Get the Taco plate. Nothing else. If you want really f*ing phenomenal tacos go to Cancun. You can choose from several types, I typically get chivo, pastor, and chorizo. Three for $6.00! Now, I have been with other people who got enchiladas or fajitas, after I specifically told them "GET THE F*ING TACOS!" and they were disappointed with said enchilada and fajita. The couple who own and run this place are really sweet and have incredible social skills. I was talking to the woman about chorizo cooking methods and how the stuff I buy took forever to cook. She asked if I was buying it in the supermarket, which I was, and told me that what they sell in the grocery store is crap. She then began telling me of her weekly runs to Dallas (which I think someone else mentioned) and how you have to get fine quality chorizo or it will taste awful. I thanked her for the advice, then she brought out a to-go box (more than a pound!) of uncooked chorizo for me to take home and try...superb. Gracia Senorita. Go check it out and get the tacos. They usually get the goat meat from Perry's Meats next store so you know it is really fresh. Oh yeah, their salsa is incredible. Thanks third picture on the bottom. Also try: Caramel Flan Dinero unico!!! (checks I guess?) read more

Authentic!! That's what I think of when this places pops in my head or if basically anything to do with Mexican food pops into it also! I keep returning for the wet burritos but there is more than that! They've got quality cooking going on here and great customer service to boot. DON'T FORGET CASH - because that is all they accept here. I usually order pork but this last time I ordered steak in my burrito and holy poop that was delicious. They know how to make it right and don't play it off just by putting ground beef. If you don't want to eat in, they're quite quick in getting your to-go order ready for as soon as you arrive. There isn't a whole lot of seating anyhow! Don't miss out on some yummy sopapillas too! ;) read more

This place is a little hole in the wall, but what a gem! The food here is probably the best mexican food in all of Tulsa! I really am a fan of Rio Verde as well, but Cancun seems to have become my favorite now! The carne asada tacos are fantastic and their rice and beans just as good! My wife had the shrimp enchiladas and said that they were fantastic as well! I most likely will go back and forth between the two restaurants, but in all honestly Cancun is a little bit of NIRVANA for those seeking authentic and great quality mexican food! read more

Cancun International Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

I've never had better anywhere. Goat Tacos! I can't think of Mexican food I've had anywhere that's as good. I had goat tacos. The quality of everything was a step above. Prices were actually low for the quality of food. The decor and service were average, but the substance was what counted. As far as food, this is definitely one to recommend. On the down side, they didn't take credit cards and failed to give notice of that fact in an obvious way. Their hours are unreliable and odd. It's worth calling ahead to see if they're open. More than once, I've dropped by to find it closed during posted hours. read more

I live in the Kendall Whittier area and had been wanting to try this place. I was sure that the food would be good, but I was really blown away. We ordered flautas and enchiladas verdes and they were both stellar. The flautas were crispy, the enchiladas had perfect flavor and just the right amount of cheese. The meat in both was flavorful and excellently shredded. The beans are always a big thing for me and they were seasoned and had just the right amount of salt. Everything was delicious, especially topped off with a Mexican coke. The owners were also friendly, pickup was fast, and the inside of the restaurant was relaxed and clean. I was totally into it and its dangerous I live right around the corner because I'll definitely be back all the time. read more

This is a gem of a Mexican restaurant located on Lewis Street just a couple blocks north of 11th (aka Route 66). The lady who owns and runs the restaurant is very friendly and has great recipes for her meals. This is a Mom type place and the food is of great quality, just like Madre makes. My wife and I have dined in and ordered take out on numerous occasions and we've never had a bad meal. The menu is extensive and includes meat, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. The first time I try a Mexican restaurant, I evaluate by trying their chili rellenos and Cancun's are excellent. You can get them stuffed with cheese, beef, or chicken and I like that they remove the majority of the seeds unlike many other places. Recently I had the chili verde chicken enchiladas and it was very enjoyable and includes rice and refried beans. They do not serve alcohol other than beer and they make a great michelada ( beer mixed with spicy clamato juice). The place is not large and fancy but it is comfortable and the prices are great. read more
