    Chilaquiles Mexicanos
    Kerri E.

    Cute interior that's at the end of a strip mall. There is a patio and the inside is bigger than it looks. We ordered the guacamole which came in a small bowl like it was a side of guac instead of the appetizer. The chips were warm but below average. Salsa was also below average, runny and a bit too spicy. My chilaquiles were not great. The rice has peas in it which cost them a star. Server was ok, but didn't check on us for refills. I'd not go back.

    Seating

    Great food, fast and friendly service, and very nice ambiance inside. Good prices for everything and didn't have to wait long on anything!

    Not full and the tomatoes looked old

    I order a burrito It had to been the worst burrito I have ever had in my life Wasn't folded every th ingredient was falling out Guacamole was horrible the tomatoes looked bad The steak is strange has a horrible taste and huge chunks

    Lovely, vibrant decor!

    Great food, wonderful family restaurant ambience, and stellar service. After a hunt throughout Greater Lansing, we found OUR Mexican restaurant right next door. We have admittedly specific standards when it comes to Mexican, so we were so happy to find Cancun!! Buen provecho!

    Disappointed with presentation and temperature with food. Ordered two nachos Cancun and received soupy nachos - had to pour some of the liquid out. Ordered the quesadilla and it's inedible due to wetness. When received food I would describe it as lukewarm. I got a confirmation email saying it would take about 20 min and I would receive an email saying when it was ready and I did not get one. I waited about 15 min to get my food and I was not expecting it to be this temperature after a short drive.

    This restaurant usually has pretty good service and food. This wasn't the case on this visit. The service was slow and the food was just ok. The margaritas were great though! I would definitely recommend the margaritas. I ordered the vegetable fajitas and the sides with no dairy. Of course it came out with dairy. When it came back the second time, there were traces of the dairy on the plate.

    The food was great here but the service was terrible. I don't think the waitress came by once to see if we were okay. She took our. Order and that was literally the last time we saw her. The different gentleman delivered the dishes to our table and the gentleman who seated us took the money for our bill. We even passed by our waitress on the way out and she didn't say a word like "thank you for coming have a great day!" Which would be normal - right? Anyways, as far as the food goes - I like very hot and spicy and I got the Camerones Diablo which is Shrimp. It was very hot and spicy. It came with rice but I asked to substitute beans for the rice. It was very good. My friend got the 2 enchilada combo and it came with rice and beans. He also liked his meal and commented about the lack of service from our waitress.

    Read many good reviews about this one so we decided to eat there for the weekend. We ordered pineapple fajitas, chipotle fajitas and flan for dessert. That pineapple fajitas caught my eyes because nice presentation (halved pineapple) but the food wasn't so tasty as I expected, not much pineapple; just some tiny pieces. My husband tried it too and he agreed with that. Chipotle fajitas has a lot better taste but feel like half of the dish is onion. Flan for dessert is awesome, I would recommend it. I usually a bit nervous to try Mexican food because it takes half of my time there to pick out tomato, lettuce and not like Spanish rice much either (seems picky eater, I know) . But I think worth to try, and I love all the decorations of table there, so colorful and they all look different.

    Steak tacos

    Best tacos in Michigan My server was Ulysses he was awesome!! Definitely will return

    I'm giving this place 4 starts because I love the service. They are very attentive and just overall nice people. Part of it makes me think because they saw our vehicle pulling up and our plate says Texas! ;) ;) lol Speaking of Texas...I lived there for 3 years and just left the state recently. So that being said, I've had pretty damn effin good Mexican food. My bf is from there too and ALWAYS crave fajitas. It's on top of his food pyramid growing up. So when we found out that there's a Mexican restaurant nearby, we were stoked!! While the service is incredible, the food is alright. Not the best but it's decent. We ordered fajitas, of course, and literally, we had really thin-sliced pieces of beef on a mountain of bell peppers (see picture). It was kind of disappointing, but what can you expect? We're not in TX anymore where good meat is in abundance. I'm glad they also serve complimentary chips and salsa! And can we talk about the decor?! So festive!

    Corn tortilla chips
    Allison R.

    Grabbed some tacos from Cancun for dinner and had a decent experience overall. The chicken taco was good but a little juicy and didn't taste as seasoned as the steak taco. The steak taco was seasoned well, but didn't come with any toppings. They didn't ask if I wanted corn or flour tortillas so I ended up with flour, and I'm not really sure if they even offer corn tortillas. The tacos were a little larger than traditional street tacos. The beans here where great. Not too runny and not too thick, but rather the perfect creamy consistency. The rice had some veggies in it, which I enjoyed because I think they add to the flavor. The salsa was also good. It was about medium spice but was on the thinner side. The tortilla chips were yellow corn and unsalted. For the price, the meal was filling. All-in-all, I enjoyed my meal and didn't have any complaints, but also wasn't totally blown away.

    People seem to be enjoying the small patio area in front of the strip-mall style restaurant.

    I'm glad I decided to try this place! They were busy, and they said they're typically busy on a "Taco Tuesday"; but my wait was only 20 minutes after ordering. I waited in my truck, but there is a bench outside I could have sat at. The staff all wore masks and sanitized when they came in after serving the patio guests. They were friendly and thorough with all the to-go order piling up. They offer a scan-with-phone menu so people aren't sharing menus. It appeared the inside seating was socially distanced. As far as my food: It appears they give generous portions, so if you're hungry, this is a great go-to Mexican restaurant. My fajitas were good. They came with chips and salsa, but they gave me a queso/"cheese sauce" for checking in on Yelp, which was good. I ordered an extra side of pico-de-gallo because I love a good pico, and I had to try their chile relleno... because I also love a good relleno! Both were good. Not the best of the best, but I would order them again if I'm in town and craving some Mexican. The fajitas came presented in halved pineapple, which was fun. I do have to take my trash out at the hotel now, so I don't have a giant half pineapple sitting around, but I give it to them for trying to make a fun presentation. I ordered the red sauce intended for my relleno on the side, and I have to say, more often than not, I never end up using the red sauce - but, this one was the best I've ever had with a relleno! The guacamole and beans that came with the fajitas were good as well. I'll let the photos talk to ya...

    The only reason I am recommending this place. It is because of the beans because they are the best but all the food is OK.
