The margaritas are the best in town! Reuben provided exceptional service! This was our second time there and we will be regulars!

Went in (3rd visit with my half-Mexican husband) for lunch yesterday. It wasn't busy, but it should be! Service was prompt & friendly, menu had some new items (I got the chilaquiles, yum!) and the entire facility was so, so clean. I was a little underwhelmed with the chips they brought out- but hey, they're free & I shouldn't be eating them anyway, right?- but the salsa is fresh and has some flavor. The chilaquiles had an option for red or green sauce. I asked for the spicier one, and got red. It was so flavorful, but also included fresh cayenne chiles, so hot as well. The quantity & quality of food for the price, especially on Mass St, is really something amazing! If you haven't been yet, make time to go! read more

This is a difficult review to write. Mexican food is my favorite. I don't think I've ever not cleaned my plate at a Mexican restaurant. Ever until my recent visit to Fiesta Cancun. One star is for exceptional service. Thank you, Carlos, for being a terrific server. You saved this restaurant from only 2 stars. Have you ever microwaved something and the ends or edges were hard? This is what I got with the cheese and onion enchiladas. In fact, the ends were so hard, I had difficulty getting my fork to cut through. The refried beans had been nuked until they were lifting at the edges. Seriously. The only salvageable food were the chips and the rice. Both of those were delicious, by the way. I brought my food home with hopes of resurrecting it later on. However, when I looked at the pile of microwaved mess, I knew it not possible. It broke my heart to throw away Mexican food, too, but I had no option. The food was terrible. Everything about the place was good but the food. The decor could use some help, though. All along the walls were murals of different celebrities. Not quite sure how this tied in to the restaurant, though. I don't think of Mexican food when I see pictures of Dolly Parton or Sylvester Stallone but whatever. This restaurant has not been open for very long. If the food does not improve... I'm not sure about the future success of this establishment. read more

Location: Downtown Lawrence. Mass st Ambiance: it is very nice. It isn't a fancy place but a place where you can take your family. Outdoor and indoor seating available. Inside, they have beautiful paintings of Mexican and international celebrities. Food: I am always excited about new places, especially if they are small, local, owned businesses. However, the quality of the food and execution of the dishes were very poor. Complimentary chips were greasy to the point that looked shiny. Salsa was ok. They offered us spicy sauce, which was delicious. Tacos, as you can see in the picture, are very americanized. Ground beef with blunt flavor. Chicken was more tasteful, I hate to say this. But if you like this way of making tacos, you might as well go to Taco Bell. I like Taco Bell, btw. But this place it is supposed to be about legit Mexican food and no americanized. Service: It was excellent. They even offered us additional spicy sauces In Lawrence, if you want to have a better Mexican experience with tacos, go to La Estrella or taco zone. If you want a place in Downtown Lawrence, El Molcajete is the way to go. read more

The salsa was very bland. When asked for a refill on my soft drink, I was given less than 1/2. The pork meat in the burrito was dry. My friend and I ordered the same thing, yet hers did not have the "tiny" amount of lettuce and tomatoes that I got on my plate. Looks like they want to run a business while providing minimal food and drink. read more

AMAZING service!! They are the best here!! The food and drinks are so good. We had a table and they checked on us every 5 minutes

Terrible service. Waited there for TWO HOURS and was told my meal was coming multiple times and still NOTHING WAS SERVED. Came expecting food and left hungry and angry read more

The experience here was awkward and the food was mid. Nothing overly impressive. We got the mix fajitas, enchiladas preferida, and chicken crunchy tacos. Maybe other stuff is better. read more

I went with a group of local friends who'd never eaten here and 2 said it was the best Mexican food and margarita they've had in Lawrence. It was packed so service was a little slow, but we also saw at 3 different servers running at various times. They were hustling. The only complaint (-1 star) we had was that someone/something had happened to the women's room and it was almost unusable. I don't know if that's normal or not but I hope not, because the food was delicious. read more

This place has quickly become my go to Mexican restaurant in Lawrence. I've had the Chile Colorado a few times and its some of the best I've had. Fresher and more balanced tasting that most places. The Verde burrito was also good. The service is very friendly and attentive from multiple different servers. read more

Service w Miguel was life changing. Try them catfish fish fish tacos on my father rolling in his grave. Please Miguel marry me

I gave them an extra star because the waiter was exceptionally polite and pleasant. However, the food was below average.

Excellent food except for the chips. They could have been fresher and less greasy. Good margaritas and serving sizes are big enough for two meals or people. read more

We went last night w some friends and I read Rauls review before going and made sure not to order the tacos but my wife did and agree, looks like fast food taco. I ordered the daisy chimi which was tasty but not a lot of chicken inside. Great service but other places in town are better when it comes to food. La estrella, mojachete. I wish la estrella would move downtown as we love the vide of downtown but that would be 8 mex places! I dont see how they will all survive but will see and glad we have so many choices. read more

Slow service when restaurant was mostly empty. Worst "Mexican" food I have had in Lawrence. Didn't finish my meal and felt a little ill afterwards. I expected better in Lawrence! read more

Fiesta Cancun - Steak gordita - Mexican Near Me - Lawrence, Kansas

My son and I had dinner at Fiesta Cancun after seeing the story in the LJWorld ... it seemed it had worked to attract business, so much so in fact, that the wait staff seemed very overwhelmed. We were greeted by two or three different servers who didn't seem clear about who was taking our table. My son ordered shrimp tacos, which he said were good! I ordered the veggie nachos with black beans, and waited quite some time only to receive veggie nachos with refried beans, which I don't eat. I was disappointed, and also pretty shocked by the prices. $30 for cheese dip, a lemonade, and his shrimp tacos (the nachos were taken off, but my son's meal only included two tacos, and looked more like an appetizer). The murals on the wall are great, but the patio could be bigger. read more

This is a really great spot, very nice people and very tasty food I have never been disappointed coming here.

Service was fantastic- thank you Carlos! Salsa- regular and spicy- was authentic and very good. Enjoyed the food and the margaritas.

Friendly host and server though slightly understaffed at the 4:00 hour. Menu is varied, has more steak options than usual. Free chips and salsa was good. Beer selection adequate. Ample servings. Good comfortable atmosphere with music. Nice bar. All tvs on sports but hockey and cyclecross? Reasonably priced for Mass St. Give it a try! read more

The food was amazing, the specials are so good. The staff was more than helpful, they were extremely nice and checked on us often. I would recommend anyone come here, you will love it. Also, you must try the carnitas, sooooo good. read more

Stopped here for a quick dinner before heading to a concert. The food was great and the servers were very attentive! We got the California Burrito and the Lawrence Burrito, and some margs. The music was fun and they were kind enough to change the TV channel so we could watch a specific game. Would recommend trying this place!! read more

What a wonderful new restaurant in downtown Lawrence! Cool, even in the summer heat. Welcoming and cheerful atmosphere. Friendly and effective staff. But most of all, excellent food! Fresh ingredients all the way. Beautifully seasoned and rich in flavors. The beans alone were worth the order, but the traditional burrito and their specialty tacos each tasted delicious! The Fiesta Cancún margarita was just right, not too sweet. Please support this great new restaurant in Lawrence! read more
