We were looking for a place locals like and found Tacun. We sat on the patio, which is colorful and cute although right on the street. Started with their chips and salsas ... super flavorful but crazy hot! We also got guacamole and it was pure chunky avocado goodness. I ordered chicken fajitas -- smelled divine coming out. The chicken was super tender, mixed with onions and peppers and served with corn tortillas. The refried beans and rice were really good, too. Companions got pastor tacos and the veggie burrito, and enjoyed them a lot. Mango margarita was really good; regular marg was ok. The waiters were super friendly, attentive and fun to talk to. We felt well taken care of. Would totally go here again. read more

It was ok nothing special. Tacos where good. The Gavacha quesadilla was not good at all! The older gentleman greeting you was nice and helpful. Would I come back? Probably Not. read more

Tacun - Waiting for These delicious tacos to arrive - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

Spot is probably the most authentic Mexican tacos in the hotel zone if you want good cheap tacos. They take cash only!

OMG...we walked over a mile to get here but it was totally worth it. I absolutely hate seafood but I loved their fish tacos. The chicken plate with beans and rice was fantastic. Margaritas to top it off. The service was also perfect. Highly recommended if you want authentic Mexican food and not the typical tourist food served at the resorts. read more

We had fish tacos it tastes ok not bad and then i looked very closely and the surprise was BUGS in the tacos!!!! I never had this situation in any other restaurant here in mexico very disappointed. read more

The atmosphere was relaxing and authentic. The food was well priced and represented the local flavor. I recommend the chicken, specifically the chicken with mole poblano and chicken pibil stylo. This place is good for quick bites or if you crave real local food. read more

I wanted to venture out from the resort and try authentic Mexican food and found Tacsun on Yelp. The food was dirt cheap and really good. Warning there is no AC but there is a breeze coming through the restaurant. It's maybe a 7 table spot with four or more chair each table. The salsa and chips were good. The salsa wasn't the norm for us Americans. There were no chunky tomatoes or onions but was thin and spicy! The guacamole was really good. The best I've had all stay. I asked if they could mix my tacos and they did. I was able to try the beef, chicken and chorizo. The chorizo was my favorite. The rice was good and although the beans were not my regular black beans, I did enjoy it. Like others, if you want a break from the resort, definitely stop by. It's cash only and the bill comes in pesos so you should convert US dollar before. Our entire meal was $17 or 240 pesos! read more

The food was not good at all. There was no flavor. The shrimp cocktail was just ketchup. My fajitas were good but the bacon taste like ham rather than bacon. And it was way too over price. I wanted to eat at a hole in the wall authentic place. It had four stars. So I came here and it looked good. I gave them two stars because the server was really nice and friendly. But Go elsewhere. read more

Very attentive and friendly waiters. The soup and burrito were fantastic with rich flavor. read more

Tacun - Beef burrito (fantastic) - Mexican Near Me - Cancún, ROO

See all

Went their today based on Yelp reviews. Five different orders. Tried each one. Nothing special. Rude server. Better options out there.

This eatery is located across the Flamingo mall. This eatery is small located within a hotel parking lot, but don't let a small stand doubt itself to you. You will notice this place by their sign outside near the edge of the street reading "Tacun" on an A-frame. Additionally, you'll see a tent set up in the parking lot connected to a building which is their kitchen area. Tables and chairs with table cloths are also outside. Upon arriving, a waiter greeted with a welcome and smile and asked we have a seat. The waiter took the time to explain the menu to us, the type of foods the eatery constructs and brought out some chips and salsa platter which included three different salsas. The waiter did a great job in taking the time of explaining the types of salsas within the platter so there were no surprises. The platter also included cilantro, onion and limes. The platter looked appealing due to its professional presentation, the plate itself used and the fresh tasting product. I eat salsa regularly as a Hispanic male and Californian, but boy--the salsa was hot. The salsa made me sweat. Any salsa in my opinion that makes me sweat though--has done its duty. The salsas were a guacamole/green salsa which was mild, hot green salsa and a red pepper grilled salsa. If you want real tasting salsa with your food--come here. One order was a de pastor burrito which was cut in halves includes rice, beans, cheese and sour cream inside the burrito. Along with pieces of cut avocado slices and lettuce on the sides. The de pastor meat was tender and the tortilla was tasty too. The meat was even hot as i took my first bite so you know it was freshly made. Another order placed was a green sauce enchilada with chicken inside, lettuce and Mexican white cheese. The enchilada was tender with seasoned chicken. Both entrees were well presented. For those two entrees and two beverages, the total was $28 dollars. This is about average in pricing to American dollars. Entrees are as low as $7 in American dollar or possibly lower. They even create Pina coladas or margaritas for you, if desired. In the end, I walked away with a great experience, full and enjoyed the ambiance of the place. The customer service was excellent, prices were fair and the salsa and chips were also tasty. I might add that the Pina colada was tasty with a refreshed natural taste. I recommend this place for an enjoyable experience. Note that cash only is accepted Mexican pesos or American dollars. This is a great eatery to visit within the hotel zone. Upon departing, the waiter advised this place is open for breakfast. They open at 7am serving many of the regular breakfast foods and Mexican dishes available. The waiter welcomed me back and said, come back and you'll have another great experience, we will here to assist you--with a smile. read more

Place is terrific. Fish tacos...great. Al pastor tacos...even greater. Guacamole and chips are excellent. Salsas were great. Great place for some quick tacos. read more

4.5* Despite staying at an all-inclusive near by, my spidey sense drew me out to this hut style restaurant a 5 min walk away. Good enough to do it up twice, we enjoyed the al pastor tacos and guacamole both times. The chips and salsa was good with a habanero option that is nearing auto incineration. I'm not sure what it is exactly that makes the guac in Mexico better than home, maybe it's the humidity or the vacation mentality or maybe the mariachis that come with the guac; whatever it is, it really is quite delightful. read more

Don't let this little hole in the wall deceive you, it's a great find. They have great tacos, huaraches, nachos and sopes. The al pastor meat is flavorful and the arrachera meat is very tender. Their tamarindo blended drinks are also very tasty and their nachos are covered in delicious melted manchego cheese and guacamole. I suggest you add salsa to your food carefully, as two of the salsas are quite spicy. My husband enjoyed the tacos so much that he took some to go. Enjoy! read more

Not sure why this place is so highly rated. Everything we ordered was pretty good but nothing was great. We had the shrimp ceviche, steak tacos, al pastor tacos, fried chicken tacos, and cheese quesadillas. Best thing was the shrimp ceviche and worst was the pastor tacos. read more

Very charming and delicious little gem beside our resort (beach palace). We wanted to try some Mexican food since most options were american food at the resort. We we're offered a sizeable plate with several sauces ranging from mild to very spicy. For dinner I had the beef tacos they were to die for !!! The meat was marinated in a very delicious sauce. For 2 people cost under 20USD and felt like a very authentic Mexican place :) read more

This is a great place to make a regular dining spot while in Cancun, especially if you're on a 'European Plan' at an all-inclusive nearby. In hindsight, we realize we should have chosen all-inclusive due to the sheer cost of eating out a minimum of 2x daily. But, as for Tacun, they had great prices for authentic, tasty food. I take off a star for a few reasons (that may or may not be relevant to others): 1. Cleanliness does not seem to be a very big priority there 2. Since it is just canopied seating, if you have long hair on a windy day, expect to eat some of your strands while dining 3. They only take cash, and they have a VERY low exchange rate (15 pesos = $1 USD) so, I highly recommend bringing pesos 4. The staff is hit or miss .. They try to be courteous and accommodating, but when ordering a fruit plate with yogurt, I never received yogurt but still paid that price. They also try wiping down your table... While you're still eating at it. They heckle passer-bys to come eat, and after traveling several places in the world, this is a huge pet peeve of mine (could just be the cultural difference that I'm not used to). We have also eaten here 5x times in the past 3 days, but every single time we are told 'tip is not included' very bluntly(though it was written clearly on the receipt), though we have never not tipped well, and when you put your money down, they hover at your table to quickly pick it up and count it at first grabbing chance. Again, could just be a cultural difference! All in all, I like the food here, and it's a proper taste of authentic Mexican cuisine. My S/O absolutely loved the chorizo quesadilla, and I enjoyed both the enchiladas and the burritos ... The fruit plate also makes a great breakfast. P.S.: beware of the center salsa ;) read more

This is what I call true Mexican. If you're in the area you have to stop by for dinner. They have parking available. The restaurant is filled with Mexican color and vibe it's really adorable. The staff is amazing. They are all over it and very fast service especially with the drink service. They have HUGH margaritas and they are absolutely yummy. They do have some drink specials. The food is out of this world. We split most of the appetizers and had the table side guacamole. BUT do yourself a favor and save room to desert. read more

We were vacationing in Cancun and wanted some authentic Mexican fare. So we went to our good old yelp recommendations and boy were we DISAPPOINTED. Fellow yelpers, this place falls very short on flavor, food quality, and service. Why are you guys giving such high stars??? And let me tell you about the service, Augustine is the only person in this whole city who is rude and ignores you. We asked for something 10 times and never get it, and it was a fork to eat our below average food with. read more

My friends and I were excited to check out a non-chain restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with every aspect of this place. Our waiter was extremely rude, inattentive, and made it seem like we were doing him a disservice when we wanted to place an order. After eating the mediocre food, we asked three separate times for the bill and each time he unpleasantly responded with "it's coming." Finally, after never receiving it, we opted to ask another employee who provided it to us. Looking around at the other tables, it was obvious everyone was receiving the same terrible treatment. Unless you appreciate awful customer service, I would strongly advise you to skip this spot for one of the many alternatives in this area. read more

Great Food! Good Prices! We were just in Cancun last week for 7 days and we must of ate here about 4 or 5 times during our stay. Authentic Mexican food on the hotel strip! You would have to venture off into downtown Cancun to possibly find more authentic food but not everyone is willing to venture out of the tourist area for various reasons. Well if it's authentic Mexican food you are craving you don't have to venture out, just go to Tacun! Right on the Hotel strip just north of La Isla, next to the Flamingo Hotel. The place is nothing fancy, just delicious authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices! The prices are very reasonable , especially for being in the Cancun hotel zone and the food is delicious, not to mention the drinks! From mixed cocktails to their aguas frescas like horchata, Mmm so good! As for the food we had several items during our visits including the burrito, fajitas, tacos, sopes, quesadillas and ceviche, all of them very generous portions and delicious! The wait staff is super friendly (we even got complimentary mango shots one evening!), Gracias Jonathan por toda tu amable atencion! They also practice the current recommended sanitary COVID19 guidelines by maintaining everything clean, having antibacterial gel available, staff wearing face coverings, their dining area is all outdoors and by having their menu online to be viewed instead of a traditional physical menu for less contact points. The staff is bilingual but I imagine they feel more comfortable speaking Spanish and probably will interact more if Spanish is spoken. ONE CAVEAT: Don't forget your cash! They only accept cash in pesos or dollars at a competitive exchange rate. However if you don't have cash don't fret, there is an ATM literally across the street. They are currently open everyday from 11:00am to about 8:30pm or so, although the last couple of days we were there they were starting to get busier and not closing till around 10:00pm. I was told as they get busier again they will most likely go back to their original closing time of 11:00pm or later. At any rate, I 100% recommend this place! Great food and drink at fair prices! A MUST stop if you are craving authentic Mexican food on the strip! read more

Plastic tablecloths and friendly, attentive service await you at this little sidewalk restaurant facing the main drag in Cancun. Many of the previous reviews and pictures show the complimentary salsa and nacho plate, and I want to echo their sentiments - great start to the meal! We tackled a basket of chips while enjoying 2 Cadillac margaritas. For our mains we got the shrimp skewers and al pastor tacos, with the added twists of making the shrimp garlic, and requesting some grilled pineapple for the tacos. The tacos were pretty average, and a bit salty, so I ordered a refill on my margarita. N's shrimp skewers, however, were excellent, as the garlic was spread to the fresh veggies, too. It came with rice and beans, which were both good with some of the chips and salsa. Overall, it cost MXN$750 with the tip, and we were happy with the meal. 4 stars is a slight stretch, but we'd go back for those garlic shrimp. It was a nice easy meal, and exactly what we were expecting. read more

If you're looking for some authentic, non-white washed Mexican food this is your spot. We were tired of eating the food at our hotel and wanted a real taste of local food and came across this gem of a place, and it was walking distance from our hotel. The food, along with the customer service was impeccable. The portions are more than enough for one person. My favorite was the selection of salsa they had, the spicier the better! The guacamole was finger licking delicious as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to step outside the box and enjoy the quality of the food more than the appearance of the restaurant. read more

The food here is delicious! It was a 5minute walk from our hotel (ME CANCUN). The waiter there could speak english so that was a plus and they provide wifi which is soo important to me the pw to their wifi is MARIN2015 and its 30x faster then my hotel providers. The salsa they give you in the beginning is also very good, its super spicy! My mouth was burning and the tacos were to die for. Very very good read more

Very good meal and very good prices. If you're looking for traditional Mexican food this place is great. The food is very large though, the enchiladas came in fours and I could only finish one and half of another. Their guacamole was delicious and the guava margarita hit the spot. The shrimp stuffed avocado was good but only when you take a bite with equal amount of avocado seeing as they douse the shrimp in a mayo sauce. read more

Went last night at about 8pm. Waiters were miserable. Not friendly and didn't want to be there. Very rude. Service was horrible. Ordered ElPastor tacos. Wife's tacos came out and ten minutes later my tacos came out. Meat was chewy and tough. Flavor was bland. Hadn't eaten anything all day since noon. Me and my wife got really bad food poisoning. Definitely this place. Doctor confirmed. Saw them reusing chips and salsa. Pouring leftover chips back into baskets and serving them. Same as salsa. We didn't eat that. Yuk. Stay away fro this tourist trap. Nasty and dirty. read more

So far the best local Mexican food I've had. Very flavorful food that's well presented in local clay serving plates/bowls. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. My 5 year old enjoyed the guac and fish dish and cleaned it up till the very end. Never seen my picky eater enjoy so much. Thanks to the server who recommended the veggie burrito for my wife. So juicy and so many veggies filled in that burrito. This one is a definite must for folks who want to enjoy local Mexican food and not go deep into downtown. read more

A simple little place with outdoor dining..right next to the strip. The food was excellent and the price was right on! It came recommended to us by an employee at the Westin. Watch out for the salsas...all offered with the chips had a kick and a half!! read more

Our host Augustine was wonderful, we came out here by a recommendation (and Yelp) in the pouring rain but it was worth the excursion. All staff were very attentive and our host treated us like long time friends or family. We had chicken nachos to start off with very tasty compared to other places, most of us got tacos they were all very fresh. The salsa variety and all taco fixings come separate so you don't have to worry about getting something you don't like, two of the salsas were very hot but good. Looking around other people's food and large plates looked very good would highly recommend for both food and service. It is cash only bring your dollars or pesos. read more
