When in Cancun, Mexico or any country you go to, local street food is the best. This was on my to do list when here and I'm glad I found this spot near our hotel. They serve everything to tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, well... every Mexican dish you can think of. I ordered 3 beef tacos and my Mr ordered the grilled fish tacos. We received chips and salsa with our meals. Three different homemade salsa. All with different taste and spice level. Mild, medium and hot. My favorite was the red sauce followed by the green mild sauce. Wow! The tacos are hands down the best I've ever had. Fresh ingredients. Honestly, it didn't need the sauce because the flavor was so good but it enhanced it. Both my Mr and I cleaned our plates. After our first beers, we had another round because we were enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend this place! Reasonable pricing for food and beers! Plus service was excellent and food was super delish! We are definitely returning whenever we visit Cancun again!

We visited Cancun as a family in 2013. We stayed at the Westin Lagunamar Ocean Resort! We asked our Concierge Fatima where do the locals eat. Fatima recommended Tacun. It became a family favorite and it has been our first meal every time we return to Cancun! Authentic Mexican food! Good pricing. The sauces provided with the chips are HOT, HOTTER and HOTTEST! I order the guacamole :) Bring cash! Short walk from resort!

When in Mexico, you're gonna want some street tacos. Good thing this little spot was just walking distance from our resort. And good? Absolutely! Great tacos and salsa, fantastic service, and definitely a local feel. My lady and I went on a Thursday for lunch and were greeted by a very friendly server right away. The seating is all outdoors but under a canopy with lots of fans blowing. Their menu was surprisingly big for a small place with only about ten tables and featured lots of tasty options. Of course, we went with the tacos, my lady had three beef tacos and I had two fish tacos. For our drinks, we both had Modelo Especial. Our server brought us chips and three salsas; one mild, one medium, and one hot. All three were very tasty. We didn't wait long at all before the tacos were ready and they were excellent. My fish tacos tasted like the fish was caught just that morning. My lady really enjoyed her tacos too. The beef was marinated so they didn't even need salsa but the salsa did make them even better. We stuck around for two more drinks, another Modelo for my lady and a Dos Equis for me. And the fact that we got it all for $25 made is epic. This was a perfect spot for authentic street tacos. If we had another day here, we'd absolutely go again. Maybe try some margaritas next time.

Very casual outdoor atmosphere. Service was good although the limited English. Google translate came in handy. Food was decent with a good price point.

I'd consider Tacun a hole in the wall type of place. It's kind of tucked away in between a few resorts but not located inside a resort. The chips and salsa were really awesome and a great way to start the meal. I got fish tacos and my fiancé got adobada tacos. I thought the fish tacos were good but not great. I like my fish tacos deep fried and crispy so the steamed/braised fish lacked flavor and texture for me. The various sauces helped make up for it though but I would've like more flavor on the fish itself. Their adobada tacos were better. I'd say great but not awesome. I've had better adobada tacos at tacos el gordo in San Diego.

We were staying at the airbnb right next to it and our host told us that we get complimentary margaritas as her guests so off we went! Standard menu, nothing special but the dishes were good. We got some fish, a chicken cordon bleu, and tacos. Their chorizo was delicious - perfectly fatty and crunchy. Service was farm and friendly. Forgot to ask the name of the server but he was nice. He also made sure that the fan was on us the whole time since it was a sweltering hot afternoon. Perfect for a snack or light dinner, but probably won't go out of my way for it.

If you're in Cancún and haven't been to Tacun, you're seriously missing out! This unassuming hole-in-the-wall joint delivers some of the best tacos I've ever had--and I'm still dreaming about their al pastor tacos. The al pastor is simply perfection: tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite is a delightful explosion of spices and perfectly marinated meat, cooked to perfection and served on warm, fresh tortillas. It's the kind of meal that makes you stop and savor every bite. Not only is the food incredible, but the prices are also spot-on. You get amazing quality without breaking the bank, which makes it even easier to indulge. Tacun is proof that some of the best culinary experiences come from the simplest places. If you're in Cancún, do yourself a favor and make a stop here. Your taste buds will thank you!

I had to downgrade it a star as they were out of certain ingredients that happened to be in our favorites. We had chicken enchiladas and fajitas, and queso fundido, all good; the service was good. Be careful with seating, as some chairs are broken. The prices have gone up a bit, and I'm including menu pics.

This is a hole in the wall taco joint, but the value to price is high. It's your classic Mexican restaurant, it's not anything fancy, the decor is dated, it doesn't feel super clean or modern, and you're right next to the road looking at a broken circle K sign. But it was right down the street from us and the food was great. The service was friendly. The prices were insanely reasonable. We got 2 eggs with chorizo breakfast plates, ceviche, coffee, orange juice, and obviously it all came with chips and salsa - $35 all in. I left full and my wallet was happy. 4 stars as honestly it is a bit dirty but if you're fine with that I recommend it.

Food and drinks were phenomenal, staff were super friendly. 10/10 recommend, been dreaming about the tacos since I left. Cant wait to revisit

Tacun was a fun little adventure. I loved the tacos and salsa. I also enjoyed a michelada with corona. All really good.

This place didn't look the best but it was actually cute. The food and service was great. The lady didn't speak much English but she was so sweet. The address Yelp had was wrong but i tried to update it to the correct one

First time visiting Tacun. We came by for lunch and were greeted immediately. The host was very friendly and then wait staff attentive. I ordered the chipotle fish and my companion had the green enchiladas. The food was flavorful and I really enjoyed the sauces that came with the tortilla chips. I tried their mojito, which was very refreshing. My only observation is that the corn tortillas didn't seem fresh, so I'll pass on thos next time. Definitely try the Chocoflan for dessert! read more

Tacos are amazing. The pastor had a ton of flavor, moreso than other places, but I do wish it had pineapple in it. The service is super friendly and nice. This place is CASH ONLY but luckily there's an ATM across the street. Tacun's atmosphere is definitely super local but we really liked it. We had the chorizo tacos as well which were good. The shrimp ceviche was okay. Some shrimp were big, others were tiny. Not all of them were fresh. The flavor was pretty bland so I'd go somewhere else for ceviche but the tacos here were awesome! Also, BEWARE OF THE SALSA. ITS SO SPICY!! read more

This was a pleasant surprise. We ordered tres tacos each; steak, chicken, chorizo and al pastor. For me the chicken was the best, however, my friend enjoyed the chorizo best. They give you 3 sauces to accompany either your chips or tacos. They say that they're varied in spice but let me tell you. All them mfers were spicy, however, they were good!

A great spot for breakfast if you're visiting the area. It's open air seating on the street between resorts. They serve chips and salsa with your meal to start. I tried each of the salsas - both the rojo and the verde were packed with flavor. The verde had a fresh, jalapeño spicy kick. The one in the middle, which I think was habanero, was like a flame bomb. I should have been more cautious with my first dip because it was too spicy for my palate! Besides the heat the flavor was awesome so if you like spicy things you'd be into this salsa. Then we had coffees, which were a little weak so I'd skip that. The breakfast dishes come with great refried beans and a few pan fried potatoes. For my entree, I had the chorizo omelet - the chorizo in Mexico is crazy good! Spicy and flavorful! It was cheesy and filled with sautéed onions and green peppers. My boyfriend had the poblano pepper omelet and loved it. Service was very friendly and they were accommodating with a clean wipe of the table after each dish. *CASH ONLY* You can pay with USD or pesos. We grabbed pesos from the ATM across the street. If you want some local flair in the hotel zone, this is a great pick! read more

Came here as a conclusion to my stay in Mexico, and I spent most of my time in Tulum where amazing local food options are overwhelming, this place was just ok to me. The service was so friendly, welcoming and attentive. I liked that there were free chips and various salsas as well as cilantro and chopped onions. The tortillas seemed too dry, thick, and lukewarm for my preference. The carnitas taco portion was too much in portion but not enough in flavor. The carne taco and al pastor were decent. My friend and I also split the queso con chorizo, which was also just ok in comparison to other quesos I've tried. I appreciated that there was at least 1 hole-in-the-wall place somewhat near our hotel, and we were too exhausted to trek into the town of Cancun to find authentic cuisine, so this will do for those who wish to stay in hotel zone. read more

Tacun is a great little joint on blvd kukulcan right across from Flamingo mall. We were staying at the nearby flamingo resort and this was the first spot we tried out in Cancun since it was right next to our hotel. I loved the setting, basically a shack on a side lane right off the main Boulevard. Its open air and they have fans in case it gets to hot. The place is cash only so that is something to keep in mind. We started off with the delicious freshly made guacamole and the a couple of mango margaritas. The margaritas were so unbelievably yummy and had been made with actual mango and not just a pre made mix. At around 120 pesos a pop they were an absolute steal. The guacamole came with fresh chips and an assortment of salsas which ranged from mild to supremely spicy! The entrées were excellent as well but the guac and drinks were really the show stealers. Staff are bilingual as with most places in cancun. Very friendly and service is great. Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you are staying around the flamingo mall. Not very expensive either as our meal came out to around 700 pesos for 2 people including 2 drinks each, entrées and appetizers. read more

We tried a trio of tacos (pastor, steak, chicken) and the shrimp ceviche. The steak taco was the best, but avoid the chicken taco as it is too dry. The ceviche was generously portioned and pretty good once I added more fresh lime juice. For those looking to get the best ceviche, I suggest El Galeon del Caribe. As for tacos, Tacos Rigo is better. The star of the meal was probably the salsa trio that came as the appetizer, and especially the spicy salsa. It was a wonderful balance of flavor, smokey spice, and freshness. I would buy a bottle of that to take home if I could. The prices were good for a lunch spot. read more

We ordered take out from Tacun (out of circumstance, have a toddler who doesn't do sit down restaurants well) and got great value. For around $35USD we got two orders of tacos, an order of enchiladas, two sides, and another entree. Salsas were great and food was plenty flavorful and meat was not at all overdone. We recommend ordering anything with beef (it was the best tasting in our opinion -- we also had pork and chicken items). Definitely hit that queso fundido with the beef (it was a hit with our family). read more

The chicken enchiladas and the chicken in molè were delicious. The shrimp wrapped in bacon was incredible. Really fresh, scrumptious seafood. I'm a vegetarian and our server made fajitas for me one night, a really hearty burrito the other. They have a great selection of tequilas! Top shelf liquors, too. Generous pours.

While in Cancun, I was desperately craving Al Pastor Tacos...but had promised my man that we wouldn't leave the All-Inclusive resort. Something about a 'relaxing vacation' without any crazy adventures...this time around ;-). But...I managed to convince him to come here, since it was a 5 minute walk from our resort and had some pretty fantastic reviews. As we were pursuing the menu they brought out chips and a selection of some pretty amazing salsas ranging from medium to hot. I, obviously, ordered the Al Pastor Tacos and my boyfriend, per his usual, ordered the chicken. They were fantastic. I'm a fiend for al pastor tacos and damn these were pretty good! Pretty sure my boyfriend enjoyed his chicken tacos given how quickly he inhaled them. Overall an awesome little find in the hotel zone without having to venture very far from the resort! read more

freakin amazing. stopped by here (it's on the main street so don't walk on the beach to get here) on the way back to the hotel for a midday snack. BOMB TACOS. Never had such amazing tacos in my life. They offer complimentary chips and a huge plate of salsa (mild - jalapeno, spicy -habanero. this one's death lol. , and another spicy - dried pepper, as well as a ton of lime and fresh cilantro and diced onions). I got the 3 tacos of pastor (spiced pork. AMAZING. I can eat like 10 of these I'm one sitting), and the 3 tacos of beef (equally delicious. Both meats are chopped up in tiny pieces that aren't too small or too big for the tacos and the beef came with 3 or 4 pieces of grilled green onion WHICH WERE SO SWEET SO GOOD). These tacos and 2 water bottles came put to around 13USD. so cheap. Highly recommend coming here!!! read more

We stayed at the Royal Sands,…read morewhich is just across the parking lot and after finally getting reservations to the Hacienda Sisal we were very impressed. They have indoor or outdoor seating. The grilled fish was delicious, so good that I got it twice. German, our waiter, was very hospitable and friendly and had great dinner recommendations. The food was delicious, everything we eat was so tasty, and we had such a good time that we returned for a second night! You should definitely come to this restaurant if you are visiting the area and hopefully you can get German who was a wonderful waiter. He went above and beyond and made sure we enjoyed our vacation.

I ordered the molcajete and was pretty disappointed, wasn't the best and nothing special to it; the salsas were okay. The margaritas were too citrusy and salty. Service was definitely great and the ambiance was okay. Only went here one time because we preferred the food inside the resort.

In the past this place has always been a staple for us, but each year we go we like it a little less. This year majority of the group was disappointed in the entire experience from the service to the food. To start, the service was lacking compared to what we get at other local restaurants nearby. Our servers did not frequently come back to ask if we needed anything and we were constantly having to ask to get our waters refilled. The drinks are good, but nothing we can't get elsewhere. Half of our group enjoyed (but not loved) their food and half did not enjoy. My SO and I split the al pastor meal. In the past we have loved this, but this time it felt like they rushed to make it and the flavors we remembered just weren't there. It was still good, but I think it could have been better. I do love the churro cart here, but you can get good churros several other places. Overall, this place has gone downhill in our opinion, and for the price it isn't worth it when there so many better options close by. I'm sure we will be back, but I think we might skip a year stopping here.

Great waiter (charming without being overbearing), and yes--they do have an English menu if you ask. I had the skirt steak quesadilla and bless them for cutting the meat into bite-size pieces so I didn't have to channel my inner Hannibal Lecter at the table. Food = thoughtful Salsa was just okay, and the chips are a little different than what we're used to in the States--but no complaints because the food delivered. Do. Not. Skip. the loaded charro beans--cheese, meat, absolute magic. Margaritas were icy cold (as they should be). Tasty food, great service, left full and happy. All in all? Solid win.

It's huge, as far as presentation it's not very fancy, it was tasty but as large as it was you'd think it had more alcohol to offset the size. But it did not. My wife ordered the aguachile with octopus. I ordered the Tuna Burger, and we got the steak quesadillas as an appetizer. My wife said she would give her aguachile a 3.8 out of 5. I thought the tuna burger was very tasty. Basically they took a tuna steak and put it between a hamburger bun. I can't really compare it to a regular meat burger. But on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 7. It came only with lettuce and tomato, but it had flavor enough. The quesadilla's were good, but nothing special, I'd say they were comparable to any you get at an average Mexican restaurant in the states. We came here because of the high ratings. Maybe we ordered the wrong things to try, I thought everything was good, but nothing that was so good it made me want to hurry back.

Many of the dishes have strange ingredients that the regular gringo hasn't heard of, which makes this even more exotic! I consider myself a mexican food expert, to some degree, and they're serving dishes that are so inventive, so wild, so fresh, so delicious! The dining area is split between a covered outside area, and seating on the grass overlooking the lagoon. Be careful, there's alligators in there! The service was fantastic- the waiter was patient, spoke English, and made excellent recommendations. I got fish with peppers, octopus ceviche, and some mezcal, followed by a honey and anise Mayan drink. All of which were delicious! My dining companion had a strange pepper with some fish- also nom! Coming here was like a history cuisine lesson, mixed with delicious food, wonderful scenery and a pleasant meal! My favorite part of this place is the artwork when you come in. They've got a Mayan god in a cenote at the doorway that just is amazing!

We had been walking in the area earlier that day and made a plan to come back for dinner. When we arrived there were a lot of people but we were seated immediately. Martin was our waiter and he was great. There were a few large screen TVs playing sports. There was live music. A lot was going on but it really worked. People were enjoying themselves and the wait staff was friendly and talkative. I ordered shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the mole. He always orders mole. The meals were very good. We ordered a mango margarita and Tecate. The margarita came with a tehine rim. I just wiped it off. That is becoming so popular. I decided to indulge in the banana dessert and I am glad I did. It came with a show. That was fun and the dessert was delicious. We were there earlier in the evening and we saw many couples and families. I'm sure the place gets a little more livelier as the night goes on. If you are in the area, this is a good place to eat and enjoy your time in Cancun.

Everything is surprisingly (for Cancun) priced affordable. My enchiladas were about $12. I would happily return here! So much fun!

I'm not sure why this place has very high score . The food wasn't great . Taco were ok fajita were bland enchiladas was too oily . Service worse . They think you are stupid . They serve stuff you dont order and they mix it so you don't know what you ordering . This place is good for people who don't know Mexican food . I was very disappointed with the service . The older man who was waiting on my table was condescending and obnoxious. read more

We stumbled upon this place by chance while searching for a late-night eatery near our hotel. The server was attentive. The guacamole and chips were fresh, and the fajitas and tacos were decent. The salsa selection was nice, especially the spicy one. The ambiance made us feel comfortable. Overall, a pleasant dining experience. read more
