Coming from San Diego, we are harsh critics when it comes to Mexican food. This place DID NOT disappoint. Fresh chips and salsa were very good. I got the Birria nachos and they were delicious 5 out of 5*s. My brother got the #6. Taco was ground beef and lacked flavor, but the rice and beans were good. My dad got the carnitas plate. He said they were very good. He rated 4* out of 5. The BIG WINNER was my husband who had the Texas Burrito. The BEST carne asada we've ever had. It was all charbroiled. As he ate it, he forgot it came with FLAMED GRILLED shrimp and chicken. FANTASTIC! We are all going to get this next time, or try new and exciting items. TRY THIS PLACE OUT! read more

Authentic, yet creative Hispanic food. Had the pineapple with shrimp fajita inside, outstanding! Great service, nice outdoor area as well in the season, does have a bunch of TVs inside. We were outside, didn't care! 5/5 would come again. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Cancun Lagoon! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that were more than worth the price. Every dish tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff was incredibly friendly and gave the place a warm, authentic feel that made us comfortable right away. Great service, great value, and great food! I can't wait to come back, definitely found my new favorite spot! read more

I did not like this ceviche at all. It was raw and fishy. It's called ceviche huego and it did not taste like any of traditional octopus ceviche. But tacos are good here read more

Great food and clean restaurant. We had apps: guacamole fresco- so fresh and delicious loved the hint of lime in each bite; queso- also great flavor and consistency. And for our meals: chicken cheese and rice with grilled peppers- cooked perfectly and yummy; and shrimp tacos- best ever, the shrimp was diced and cooked perfectly too. No complaints, will definitely be back. I actually also tried Cancun Laggoon the day before via their food truck - was so good I had to visit the restaurant;) You guys are doing a great job, keep it up!! read more

You walk in and are immediately greeted by smiling staff. The food is always flavorful and fresh. Carne asada tacos are my favorite. The guacamole and queso cheese dip are the best in the area! The ambiance is that of your typical Mexican restaurant but always clean and tidy. Parking is ample and the patio is nice weather permitting. read more

This used to be a Pizza Hut and they did an excellent job converting it to a Mexican restaurant. It was very clean and had a nice vibe. While the service was a little slow and the top shelf margarita bottom shelf the food was excellent. Even my picky husband stated his food was excellent and my daughter loved her chicken nachos. She raved about them. We will certainly go back. read more

This is a small quaint Mexican restaurant that's almost too hidden to notice. But it has a bright blue seaside shack appearance on the outside with what appears to be new paint, and the inside is clean as well. It's rustic in a good way. The staff is very friendly. The prices are average, but the food seems fresh and is very good. read more

My streets tacos were delicious... I got shrimp, fish and steak. The sauces that came with were so good. Perfect weather for the patio! read more

Very good food and atmosphere large portions would highly recommend anyone try it. Convenient to Gallatin easy access, reasonable price

Partner and I both danced with the Porcelain God all weekend long after eating here. It's very busy. Portion size is fair. Wait staff was half way attentive. read more

Food was delicious. Staff was friendly. I was in town for two weeks and ate here multiple times. Thank you for a great experience

The food is great and the service is wonderful. I enjoyed the chicken tortilla soup, tacos, and their chips and salsa is very good.

We have been here a couple of times and really enjoyed our food and the ambience. The service both times was exceptional as the servers were knowledgeable, quick, and pleasant. They have a good selection of vegetarian dishes. I opted for the veggie Taco Salad which was rather tasty. One of the best in Gallatin. read more

Best margarita I've ever had!! So fresh and refreshing. Staff was amazing, the salsa was to die for. Will definitely w going back!

Wow! Really good food! And fast. Our first time here, did not want to drive into Hendersonville. Found this place on Apple Maps and the reviews were great and turned out to be true! Friendly service. We will be back again! read more

This was a generic "authentic" Mexican place. I wasn't fond of the salsa but the food was decent. The Pancho Villa had good chicken but the shrimp had no flavor whatsoever. Hubby said the Burrito Mexico was ok but I forgot to grab a bite to see for myself. What really irked me about this place is that somehow, someway, after the food and drinks were ordered and delivered, I got completely ignored. Waiters all looked to my husband and even the manager walking by addressed my husband and only him and then walked on. Hubby says it just happened that he was the one making eye contact with people but it's never been that bad anywhere else. By the end, hubby was laughing and asking me how I enjoyed experiencing the 1950s. Well they may have paid attention to him but I made it a point to pay the check at the end, even when they put it next to him and didn't even bother trying to put it in the middle of the damn table like most places do. Hell no I won't be back. Liked: - Pancho Villa Ok: - Salsa read more

Amazing food, Great fast and friendly service, I was surprised when I first tried it and now I eat here often when I'm in town

SUCKS! Went in got a burrito and coke. Ordered and got food. Burrito had chicken which I didn't order. Chicken tasted like gristle and just sucked. Sat and waited for 18 minutes for waitress to come check on me. Had one bite. Didn't ask me anything or nothing. Asked for check. Nothing on that. Food sucks. She sucks. General place is shit! Peace in Jesus Christ to all of you except Cancun Lagoon cause he wouldn't eat there! read more

The food wasn't that good. I ordered a fajita taco salad. The lettuce they used looked as if it was has been sitting out. I didn't care for the one large half of a tomato. The crust had a very nasty cooler taste like they just leave them sitting in a refrigerator and letting that recycled air get absorbed int the shell. The cheese sauce was good. Asked and paid for grill jalapeños but they were missing. Hardly had any chicken in my chicken fajita taco salad. The chips and the salsa are really good. I asked for their hottest salsa and it was unbelievably horrible. It tasted like burnt seasoning. No flavor what so ever. Good price point but that's obvious once you taste the food. Definitely in the lower tier of the Latin restaurants. read more

Cancun Lagoon - Fajita Chicken Salad - Mexican Near Me - Gallatin, Tennessee

the food tasted terrible and the cheese dip look unappetizing and the service was mid and the whole place didn't really feel like a Mexican restaurant I would do .5/10 but yelp is gay read more

It is the best! Cerviche, guac fresco, EVERYTHING!! They just made some menu changes and we go there often. Great people, excellent service.

Not bad, but not the best Mexican food in the area. Location and parking is not ideal. Food was good, just not great.

I was in the area and decided to try Cancun Lagoon and ordered the Chile pablano plate. The food was ok but service was not good. I would not recommend the poblano plate as both of my poblanos were very tough to cut and I actually could not eat one of them. I told the waitress you just kind of ignored what I was saying like she didn't care. She only checked on me one time during my visit. Everything else was ok otherwise. read more

We have eaten at this restaurant and have gotten carry out many times but we had carry out last week and it was down right bad. Fajitas could not be recognized and chips were stale. I think they must have a new cook. The very nice hostess was also gone. We are done with Cancun Lagoon. read more

Visited this Mexican cantina for a quick lunch when we were in the area and had a great meal. Delicious, fresh ingredients made for some really tasty dishes. Good range of options too including some vegetarian dishes that could easily convert to vegan if you remember to have them hold the cheese. read more

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in Gallatin and one of the better ones in middle Tennessee. However, I had just returned from New Mexico and this place just does not compare to there. My family was happier with their meals as they had not been in NM with me. I had the Carnitas dinner and it was good. The menu is much more varied than your average Mexican restaurant and you can try some new flavors. The staff was nice and attentive. The restaurant is a repurposed Pizza Hut and other than the building shape you would not recognize the place. I will come again. read more

This place has the BEST Mexican food in town... when they get your order right or You don't have to wait forever to get it. I think they may have recently changed management, but the service has gone down hill in recent time. Their carnitas and steak tacos are fantastic, as is their ground beef. On Tuesdays, their special is 5 tacos for $5, which is pretty fantastic! Go for good food. Don't go for the questionable service. You decide what's more important. read more

I had many great memories in this building from when it was a Pizza Hut during my childhood. Feeling a little nostalgic and after reading some other yelp reviews, I decided to try Cancun Lagoon. The decor inside has changed and no longer feels like a Pizza Hut... It's bright, fun, and feels like a Mexican restaurant. The service is friendly and attentive. Chips and salsa started it off. The salsa was a bit too savory for my taste, but it was flavorful with a slight kick. The chips were crunchy, but didn't seem fresh. I ordered mixed chicken and steak fajitas. A generous portion came to my table still sizzling. The flavor was great, but some of the steak was very tough and unchewable. There were some great pieces of steak mixed in and those were excellent. The beans and rice were excellent as well. I have to give Dos Margaritas (my favorite Gallatin Mexican eating establishment) the edge in food flavor, but service here was more attentive and personable at Cancun Lagoon. Overall a good Mexican experience, but I still wish I could go back to the days of getting a free Personal Pan Pizza at this old Pizza Hut location because they hardly ever made the 5 minute guarantee. read more

I will start with the seating in the booths, they need to be fixed, feels like sitting on raw lumber, and even with the vinyl coverings, extremely uncomfortable. The food was bland and I had the worst steak I have ever had in my life. The rice was flavorless, and the beans were bland as well. How is that even possible? The guacamole was very good and the chips were good too! I do not think the owners or cooks are tasting and seasoning the food they prepare. Just grill it and send it...The steak was terrible. Would not eat here again! read more

I asked for fajitas with corn tortillas the corn tortillas are steamed came out so hot they fell apart and so I asked for some flour tortillas and they charged me 1.50 for them I complained was met with lousy service even after I explained. So for $1,50 they lost a customer! I am sorry but fajitas have to be put into a tortillas of some kind to eat this really is disappointing there service has gone downhill! I will not be back! read more

I usually get carry out, but the food is really good. Prices are more than reasonable.

Good atmosphere. Great food. Friendly service. Best Mexican around plus HUGE PORTIONS!!

Love love love this place! Love the food, love the service, LOVE the owners! Freshest food in Gallatin. These folks love what they do and it shows. read more

So we went to Cancun Lagoon because my wife had received a gift certificate from a secret pal. We had high hopes after reading the reviews that this would be a nice dinner and a night out for us. Low and behold, I was not impressed. We started off the meal with the complimentary chips and salsa that are brought to the table at many a Mexican restaurant. The salsa was way to hot and basically inedible! So we look at the menu and decided to order the Avocado Fresca which we thought might help cut the heat. The appetizer arrived in a goblet and was just plain boring looking. No color, kind of pale and had 3 chips sticking in the top for presentation. What started out as a nice treat, once again ended up being extremely hot about half way through. Once again, it was something that we could not eat because of the heat. Now I can take heat to a certain extent, but when it becomes painful, I will not eat it! We moved on to our entrees. I ordered the Deluxe Quesadilla while my wife ordered enchiladas. When the entrees arrived, once again we knew something was wrong. It just lacked any color and was kind of gray. My quesadilla was nothing more than a burrito folded in half swimming in grease. There was no crispiness to the tortilla like a normal quesadilla is. The meal came with a small salad and an order of guacamole, that was not listed anywhere on the menu, so I ordered a side of beans and rice. My wife's enchiladas really looked bad. It was nothing more than fajita meat piled on top of enchiladas creating a plate of mush. Ok now to service! The hostess who set us was really sweet and pleasant. Eventually a waiter came by and took our orders. When he brought the meal, I had to remind him of the sides that I ordered. He never returned to our table to ask if everything was fine, never offered refills on the drinks and then we had to chase him down to get a bill. Ok, all in all I will never go back to this restaurant and I encourage others to think twice before eating there. Although the majority of the reviews were good, I was not pleased. It just might have been a bad day for them and I can understand. But one bad day for a customer leaves a lasting memory and a bad taste in ones mouth! read more
