    Chicken super burrito
    Amber C.

    First time going to the place across the street haha. We both got the super burrito. It was HUGE. So delectable. Also they have a salsa bar!!! Tried the mango salsa and avocado salsa. Also love that they have a student discount. Will definitely be back.

    Street Taco Platter (served with chips and salsa & choice of 2 proteins), $13.99

    From 2-5pm daily Cancun Sabor Mexicano has a happy hour deal: half off all alcohol and soft drinks with purchase of food. Whether or not you partake in said offer though, it's clear that the gentleman proprietor who mans the register enjoys serving up alcohol. It wasn't just the quaint bon mot served up with my Negra Modelo ($6.99) but the announcement of each Mojito being ready for pick-up. In what can only be described as an operatic voice, the lyrical pronouncement of yet another Mojito being ready for another diner is quite an entertaining hat trick. Cancun Sabor Mexicano though, while certainly not the best of Mexican fare to be found in Berkeley, doesn't really need hat tricks. I ordered up two Street Taco platters (4 tacos, choice of protein, $13.99) and found that flavor profile coupled with volume and ambiance proved thoroughly satisfying. Food facts first. Carne Asada is my go-to protein in places like this. Here it was a version less tasty than desired. The beef seemed to be cut from a center piece, with no char or dark edges. The beans and salsa did most of the heavy lifting and I'd not again choose carne asada as a protein here which is okay as the Al Pastor and Carnitas options were more tasty. The taco plates were served with pre-made chips (I prefer house-made) which were also improved by the array of fresh salsas (help yourself) from the salsa bar. The ambiance here is nice. not fancy-nice, but casually stylish and comfortable, with big wooden communal tables and smaller tables for smaller groups. The volume of eateries in this area leaves me jealous of those who live in Berkeley. Cancun, despite this, has endured here for many years. I won't be racing back but I left fully satisfied and could easily envision a return.

    In a nutshell; pricey but expected downtown type priced decent Mexican food The atmosphere of the establishment does indeed exude its namesake. There's a Salsa station on the side for your chips that's usually accompanied by your order or dish, but for the price, I was hoping the salsa station also has a chips station you can just grab chips alike to similar other establishments. The order looked and tasted good but I'd say doesn't really match the price, but it's to be expected as I'm sure it's expensive to upkeep any business stationed in a downtown setting. Overall neat place but I'll probably lean to trying the other establishments nearby.

    Love this Fresh Mex Restaurant! Enormous variety of salsas! Great food! A good place for date night, right in Downtown Berkeley

    Carnitas, chicken mole, Mexican rice

    I got these items on the ToGoodToGo app and I was very delighted with my service, meal, and drink! I took this home and made my own burrito; it was fantastic.

    Horchata was watered down. Refried beans were sour, watery and gross. Do not eat here. Pick any other Mexican restaurant in the area.

Everything is pretty affordable, including generous servings of guac. It's a super chill, order at the counter style place, and would be great for games or a casual hangout dinner. The staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. Don't come here for Michelin quality food, though.

    I've had burritos from here before and never thought they were anything special. This time, though,…read moreI got tacos. Very good decision! I got 2 pastor tacos and 1 carne asada. Both were excellent and paired very well with their salsa. Carne asada was cooked and cut perfectly, and tasted much better than when I had it in burritos in the past. Al pastor is very authentic and tastes better than most you can find in the area. Generous amount of onions (and some pineapple for the pastor). I really really enjoyed this, and I'm happy to have this option here in my neighborhood. Only negative is that their tortillas seem to collapse under the general sauciness. I usually prefer to have my salsa on the side, so maybe that's on me. Came out to about $15 for the three tacos which is pretty pricey. However, you do get some chips and salsa for free, and the quality of the food is pretty high. I'm reasonably happy to pay this price to support a nice establishment in my community. The place is clean and recently renovated, with a fairly friendly staff willing to accommodate customizations and requests. I will probably start coming here a lot more regularly after this most recent visit!

It has a unique menu, delicious food, and a trendy ambiance. Because she decided on this place the day of, she couldn't get a reservation but we showed up at 6 pm on a Thursday and had a table for five inside by 6:30. We waited at the bar and had drinks including a spectacular paloma-esque and local beer on tap. I can't have dairy but the chef made modifications on the duck enchiladas rojas. Everything was a flavor bomb in the best way except the duck had bones inside the enchiladas which made me think it was chicken thigh (looked the same). The rest of the guests loved their plates but we found the sizes of the plates odd. For example, the Mexican street corn was a huge plate of about 3 ears of corn but the tamal was just one tamal (for $15!) The service was very attentive despite a busy restaurant. They automatically charge a 20% service fee regardless of size of group. I appreciated that they didn't rush us out but I didn't like that they charged us for the birthday flan.

The best thing I had that night was my drink, it was delicious! And pretty. 3 stars for food, they didn't have the duck enchiladas so I went with the pork one they had that day.
