Lunch shrimp fajitas
Cindy G.

The best Mi Cancun we've been to so far! Very friendly and attentive staff, never had to ask for more chips, salsa or water. Salsa had a nice smoky flavor to it and chips came out warm. Shrimp fajitas were fresh and perfect size for lunch. Nice authentic music, very clean restaurant with nice ambiance. Will definitely be back!

We went to Mi Cancun on a rainy day for lunch. It was excellent!! The inside decor was bright and fun. The staff were very friendly. As soon as our waiter took our drink order, someone came over with a table side guacamole station! They made fresh guacamole in front of us. You could choose to add onions, pico, cilantro and jalapeños! The enchiladas were great and I can't wait to go back.

Mi Cancun is definitely one of the better inexpensive Mexican options around. They have a great variety of lunch options. Rice, enchiladas, chimichangas, chips, and salsa are all pretty standard, but quite satisfactory. Only con is that the they have music blasting inside. Not a negative, but the chicken soup is quite strange. Definitely recommend though for a fast and inexpensive bite!

Cheese dip
Marissa T.

Mi Cancun is my favorite local Mexican chain and this location is great! Cheese dip is delicious and a generous size. ACP is my favorite. The service was excellent - our waitress was so friendly and the entire staff was very attentive. Our chip basket never got too low and they even packed a bag of chips to go with our leftovers without our asking.

Spicy Chicken Tacos, Pozole, Black Beans, Guacamole, Veggie Fajitas!!!! Muy Bueno :)
Scott K.

Excellent Mexican food at MiCancun for a good price. This new location is the best of them all. The food & service are always top notch. The spicy chicken tacos, Pozole & Guacamole live are all super yummy. We always tip the person making our Guacamole as it is always superb.

Chicken fiesta
Lina S.

Enjoyed the food very much . Portion was just right. Very satiating. The chicken was non greasy and tender- delicious Fast service Noisy ambience serving ladies were very sweet. On Cinco di mayo we were able to get seated soon even without reservation. Will surely visit again

Spicey Margarita

Below-average Average Mexican Food! I had dinner here on a Friday night.  When we walked in, we were promptly greeted and seated, and immediately we were aware of two things:  1)  the amazingly high level of noise, and 2) the sketchy table-side guacamole cart. The ceiling is super high, and the level of noise from the patrons and the 6 TVs combined in the cavernous space to make it hard to talk.  It became quite distracting. As soon as we sat down, a nice non-English speaking woman appeared and offered table-side guac.  We were not in the mood for it, but even if we were, we likely would have passed because the table-side cart looked dirty, disorganized, and not even close to professional.  When I commented on the appearance of the cart, the very nice woman had to get another staff person to translate, which made the interaction difficult and awkward. I had the camarones diablo and a spicy margarita.  The shrimp were just ok, and margarita had, I believe, way too much ice.  As I stated above, this was a below-average Mexican food experience.  I am unlikely to return.

Friendly, fast, very attentive service. I had the Chicken Fajita Burrito: fresh, delicious and seasoned to epic level. Clean, fun atmosphere with a happy, energetic vibe! We will be back. Thank you Mi Cancun for an exceptional dining experience!

See all

Esmeralda Grill is a very authentic local Mexican spot that does a lot of things right, especially…read morewhen it comes to classic comfort dishes. I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

Esmeralda Grill absolutely rocks, and it was almost a restaurant that I considered avoiding because…read moreI ordered the wrong thing. I was really one mayonnaise filled torta away from missing out on my favorite Mexican restaurant of Cary. The food is some of the freshest and most authentic in the area, and is consistently spot on. Forget heavy burritos or overly sauced enchiladas, this place is the real deal. When you come to Esmeralda Grill, you should really focus on the meat heavy dishes, whether it be via land or sea. There are so many different options to choose from, from both categories. When thinking seafood, expect the full fish. If you find yourself with the fresh grilled tilapia, you will receive a delicious whole fish that tastes as if it was caught that morning. It is such a fantastic option. I also appreciate the camarones a la diabla, or Diablo shrimp. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the spice of the dish is excites your taste buds and is a great dish. My favorite entrees are the land meat dishes though. El Trio Perfecto is my go-to order, it is grilled steak, chicken and pork all on one plate with rice, beans, salad, and tortillas. The Mexican spice rub on the meats is absolutely mouth watering, the flavors are so bold and tasty. The meats are all cooked to perfection and the portions are gigantic. You can make different tacos with the various meats, it is seriously one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I would highly recommend this! Additionally, Esmeralda Grill has so many other wonderful dishes for different flavor profiles. My grandparents are pretty particular about empanadas, but simply cannot get enough of Esmeralda's version. They also make some killer tacos, and some very affordable ones if you were to come on Tuesday! The moral of the story? Don't base your opinion of a restaurant after a single visit. You don't come across a fantastic hole in the wall every day, Esmeralda Grill is one that every Mexican food lover should know!

When you think of a Mexican chain, you probably think of a restaurant where you order one of those…read morebig piping hot combination platters with the world's largest plate, loaded with some mix of burritos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. The food itself is average, the service is quick and the portions are large, it is just alright but enjoyable. Mi Cancun is not your ordinary Mexican chain restaurant. The atmosphere is lively, service is attentive, decor is cozy and the food is elevated. They start you off with their unlimited chips and salsa. I've had bad chips quite a few times in recent memory at Mexican restaurants, but these are enjoyable. I blink and sudden I am getting a refill. The waiters do a great job going around, making sure you are taken care of. Others push a guacamole cart as a potential appetizer. The service here is good and friendly! There are so many different options at Mi Cancun, they have a huge menu. They have the aforementioned combination platters, but you can also order grilled meats, seafoods, individual tacos and other specialties. I'm a pretty big ACP (arroz con pollo) guy and Mi Cancun puts a neat twist on theirs. Instead of old overcooked rice and overly thick cheese, their ACP is always really fresh with smaller strips of delicious and seasoned chicken, warm cheese and even spicy peppers. The peppers add good flavor and kick, also some vegetables! Every other item I've had here is pretty great as well. They are a Mexican restaurant that has a designated vegetarian section, so I've had some of those and they're good alternatives! It is not just, "let's cram as much frozen veggies into a tortilla." Their diablo shrimp are also good and they recently added beef tongue (lengua) tortas to the menu. This might be my new favorite item, the lengua is so tender and flavorful. Mi Cancun is one of the few places in the area that is busy every night, and for good reason! The food is great and you are taken care of when you're there. This Morrisville location I believe is the original, and they do a fantastic job at upholding this chain's reputation.

Updated Review. February 24, 2026…read more The portions have really changed for the worst. A parrillada dish is now half of what it used to be. As a family of four, we'd order the full size and eat comfortably. Now, two can only eat. The parrillada for one, is literally just for one, but before 2 of us would eat and we'd still bring some home. Prices of skyrocketed, understanding with the economy we're in.
