Cancun Restaurante

I love ‘em! If I’m ever again near Boston, I shall try to stop in. The «Camerones a la Diabla», or Devil’s Shrimp, served with hot chili sauce on a bed of yellow rice, are superb! Portions are perfect! Can of Coke is just enough to wash down food. They’re great!

I have not had any issues with the food from Cancun in the past. However, I recently decided to order takeout during lunch hour on a Sunday and was not pleased.
I was told my four carne asada tacos would be ready in 10 minutes but it was obvious they had not even begun preparing my order until I arrived to pick them up. I waited for 25 minutes in their restaurant on top of the 10 minutes I had already waited which seems like a really ridiculous wait time for only four tacos.
Not only was my order late, they gave me completely different tacos from what I had ordered. Being Mexican myself, I immediately recognized that they had given me beef tongue tacos rather than my order of carne asada tacos.
I am really upset with how bad the service is here because usually the food is great. I will not be returning.

A three only because the food is definitely worth it! If this was based on the food alone it would have received a 5 star rating. The music is definitely too loud, the lights make you dizzy, and the service is terrible!!! We waited about 20 minutes for apps, which the large picada and nachos are phenomenal! Waited 40 minutes for silverware, they don’t offer mustard in a bottle, the waitresses don’t buss your table, you have to repeatedly ask for napkins, bummer. Way too dark, and again the service is dreadful!

The ambiance could use some improvements but the food is OH MY GOSH delish! My boyfriend and I went the other night to celebrate my birthday because I love me some tacos and my oh my were those carne asada tacos worth it! His kebab was really tasty, too. Great salsa, super refried beans and rice and fresh lemonade. No complaints on the food! Ambiance is pretty bad, it was damn near pitch black in there so you can’t see your food all that well, the TVs are loud and the music even louder so you can’t talk to your date and the bar needs a little more separation from the dining area but who cares when the food is this good!?! Ha!

I don’t like to give bad reviews but I can’t give a good one to this place.
It was my second time after the first one couple years ago. Music is toooooo loud with lights like a dance place (it’s just a restaurant right), it’s too dark.
Service needs a lot of improvement, food was just ok. I ordered 2 pupusas (didn’t really taste like pupusas), friends got fish tacos, I heard, they said it was flavorless. We waited for our food over 30 mins, personally I guess that’s too long for pupusas to get ready to be serve.
Drinks took forever to arrive at the table!
Coming back, mmmm !!! Not sure about it.

I tried giving this place a one last chance today since the food is good, but now I know that I will never step foot in this restaurant again.
The food was fine but the service was horrendous. My waitress was rude, gave me dirty utensils, and what really aggravated me was that she was drinking alcohol with the table behind us. It made sense why she looked a little off. And after she left the table behind us, she didn’t dare to stop so I had to chase her for a food container. On top of that, I had ordered two chicken appetizers since I don’t like steak and I ended up receiving one chicken and one steak. I didn’t bother letting her know since I wanted to get out of there.
Ultimately this restaurant is just run down and the service as well. I will bring my money elsewhere!

Wow! So after hearing about how great the food is here I decided to take myself an partner here. First impression when walking in is cool, there’s a fish tank wow! (Not really cool needs to be cleaned and needs life added to it) Then you walk in to a dark an dingy bar/​dining area the walls are carnival colored no lights on and the place looks bright. After seating ourselves I start noticing how loud the music is and how terrible the music playing was. I typically wouldn’t comment on that but atleast play decent songs I love Latin music. Now the service is almost non existing in this place it wasn’t busy and there’s 3 waitresses and then finally after 15 min we got one to come over. Got our drinks and nachos and very bland salsa. The menu is typed up and there’s pages of food you can order from just a bad sign that it’s not going to fresh. I ordered a chicken quesadillas dish. The avocado tasted wrong and the brown lettuces slices was gross. I have been paying for it all day today. It was just terrible by my 3 bite I felt my stomach turning. My partner did not finish his dish either. He ordered a chicken dish with 5 wrongly cut up chicken slices dried out and not enough red sauce. The rice was dried up and had no flavor. My conclusion to this review would be to stay AWAY and try another place out. The food prices are higher then other places and just not worth having food poisoning. Never again.

I went with my friends few months ago. And everything that we order in the food, WE LOVE IT! the food was delicious. The nachos tacos with chicken THE BEST.
We planning to go again.‘
Muchas Gracias…

Great food and great service!

Being an «authentic Mexican» myself (I think), having been here a couple of times, and after reading some of the previous reviews, I have the following to say:
1. The music is extremely loud, forget a business meeting (who would, actually?) or a date, you won’t be able to make your voice heard. However, the music is not Mexican alone, they showcase an array of Latin genres but the personnel, being a mix of Salvadoreans and Colombians, is partial to Dominican bachata (?!).
2. The waitresses like to sing karaōke style and do it often, but if they put more attention to both their singing and their «waitressing,» they would sing in tune and would not mix up the orders.
3. However, the tacos, the «parrillada,» and the «molcajete» are awesome (I cannot vouch for the rest of the menu, which I haven’t tried yet). These three options excel among the mediocre «Mexican» food in Boston.
4. Nachos, burritos, or chips and salsa are NOT Mexican food.
So, 4 stars for food minus 1 for ambiance (extremely loud music in general, and sketchy dudes after 10 p.m.)

Lunch:
About a 30 minutes wait for food, we were the only 5 patrons.
Chicken burrito would have been great if it weren’t filled with tasteless, rubbery chicken pellets. There are a half a dozen better places to get Mexican food in the area.

Ive been to this place twice for lunch. Tacos are good and cheap. Nachos were good and really cheesey. Problem was that the cheese got cold fast because it was cold in the place. But atleast the nachos werent a gigantic portion that I couldnt eat by myself. It was a comfortable portion. The music is boring and should be faster:-) The bartender is a nice woman as well.

The food here is wonderful! I had my first ever beef tongue and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food available here. The atmosphere is a bit cheesy and the music is loud but don’t let that deter you. There usually aren’t too many people here so you get fast, good service as well. It’s a special place and some of the most authentic tasting El Salvadorean/​Mexican food that I’ve had. Will definitely return!

The service is very friendly, and the food is cheap, but I think the food might have made me sick. I ordered the shrimp and carnitas nachos and ended up with a stomach ache when I got home. The other 4 people in my party all felt fine afterward, but the next day I got a stomach ache again after eating my sister’s left over fajitas. I liked their chips and salsa, but after 2 stomache aches, not sure if I will be eating here again. Maybe Mexican and me just don’t mix.

There are two things to consider when eating here. First, the atmosphere. The first thing you notice is the outrageously loud Mexican music being played over the jukebox. Way too loud for any restaurant. I couldn’t even hear my boyfriend speak during the meal without at least 2 «WHAT?!“s. The service isn’t their strongest point. I had to ask two times for chips and salsa. And it’s a small place, so the table of 5 very loud, Mexicans filled my ears when the music wasn’t. I guess if you’re looking for an authentic Mexican atmosphere, this definitely felt like it.
The food, on the other hand, is what makes this place get 3 stars. It tastes like Mexican food, with lots of flavor and big portions. The salsa and chips were delicious. I had the enchiladas, and I approved. I would recommend ordering take-​out, though.

Horrible, horrible, horrible. I will never go back because
1. The music is wayyy too loud!
2. Service is slow
3. I waited 30 minutes for a plate of nachos with cheese and beef! Seriously?
4. And the place is creepy looking with a huge, dirty fish tank with ugly gold fish

i’ve only had take out here so i can’t speak for ambience of the restaurant. A solid go to spot for a quesadilla or a burrito because taco bell just doesn’t cut it.

I went here twice in the same week because I had
gift certificates. I went for lunch and really enjoyed my food. I had the pupusas, the yuca with chicharron, and an order of guacamole to go with the free chips and salsa. Evrything was great. I went back like 3 days later for dinner it was that good. I was not a happy camper. I ordered the fried chicken and was given some commercially processed chicken that was just dropped in oil, not the fresh fried chicken I was expecting. Also the guac was inedible the second time. It was so salty I wanted to go drain a fire hydrant. The waitresses are very nice though.

We went to cancun’s after passing by it a dozen times. It was Cinco de Mayo and and we wanted some margaritas. This place has awesome ones — the house on the rocks wasn’t too sweet, and it was strong. On top of that, one of the owners came over to offer us some free samples of other margaritas she was working on.
We also got dinner, and my burrito was priced similarily to a chain, but you could taste everything was fresh. In the carne supreme burrito, you got all of the meats combined; you have to ask for just one. My dinner partner got the quesadilla, and it was huge and cheesy. The chips were fine, and the fresh salsa was very good. All in all, a hidden gem. We’re definitely going back. Maybe then I’ll look past the burrito, but I doubt it.

I’m a huge fan of the food here. The burritos are awesome, quesadillas are bomb, and they have the best guac and salsa I’ve ever had.
However, I’m not too big on the atmosphere. It’s always super loud, pretty impossible to get anything delivered in under an hour, and it’s very hard to order if you dont speak spanish. Luckily, I never let this affect my quest for prime mexican cuisine.
