    Great food, service and drinks!

    I ordered the Mariachi bowl and found the ingredients to be very fresh and tasty! It also was in a huge bowl which had a very generous portion

    The margaritas are delicious and they have a great variety of Mexican dishes

    Will be back for sure

    I'll start this one the same way as my last Mexican good review..::I am a Texan...who happens to live in Knoxville and have spent the last 8 months looking for the best Mexican food here...Mexican food has a high standard to beat....

    This ain't it.

    My husband ordered carne Asada...he said the meat tasted weird so I tried it...it was boiled and then cooked on the grill for grill marks.

    Their rice and beans had zero flavor.

    I ordered my "safe meal" because I had never ate there before...chicken enchiladas....gross. I was sooo dissatisfied and I am not one to complain to get a free meal so we overpaid $40 for nasty food that neither one of us ate. I will not be returning here!

    I got delivery from them for the first time, and let me just say that a lot was left to be desired. I got their scallop and shrimp fajitas. The fajitas were literally boiled. They were more vegetables than seafood. The chips that they sent were stale. Very disappointed.

    Amazing food and service!  Drinks definitely have alcohol - unlike some chains that serve basically margarita punch.  Food was delicious, came out piping hot.  If you are in the area this is a great choice for an affordable night out.

    I hate to say it but I was incredibly disappointed with my recent visit to Cancun's. I don't believe I have ever had a bad meal there....until this last visit and man was it bad! We had five people at our table. They brought nachos and salsa which is normally great! The salsa tasted like watered-down tomato juice. This was a sign of what was to come. The restaurant was maybe half full. It took approximately 40 minutes to get our food. A couple orders were incorrect. What was worse was the food was barely warm. The sour cream dabbed on top looked and felt like it had been out of the refrigerator for some time. To top it all off, when they finally brought our tickets, one of us was charged $6.50 gratuity on a $7.99 lunch!
    Again, this was the first bad meal at this location. Will I try them again? No.
