Go for the drinks maybe, skip the food? by Jpirouet via Citysearch on 6/29/2011

I;ve been here multiple times with many different people and for some reason most really like it. My friend from Upstate New York said it was the best mexican she ever had. It's been hit or miss with me - usually the food is uninspiring…

WORST RESTAURANT in Hell's Kitchen!! by mil888 via Citysearch on 4/23/2011

Horrible food - not Mexican, doesn't even compare with Taco Bell. Dirty restaurant - crawlers near kitchen and dining area...who did they pay off to pass food inspection?! Rude Service! Pick another restaurant...you'll be glad you did.

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! by James Jaye via Citysearch on 12/12/2010

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! AVOID THIS RESTAURANT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! They force you to pay 20% gratuity without notification. They charge you per drink refill without telling you (my family of 4 racked up a $50 bill in coke…

very nice surprise by laney823 via Citysearch on 5/17/2010

Just ended up in Cancun because we were on 8th avenue for business on Saturday and at 3:30 pm were really hungry for lunch. We were therefore really happy to be served warm chips, salsa and water right away. Our waiter took our order…

Terrible!! by Gia212 via Citysearch on 5/5/2010

I would go this restaurant only for the chips and salsa. They were sooo good! On the other hand, I went today (Cinco de Mayo) and wasn't at all expected to be seated right away and for my food to come out quickly. However, I wasn't…

BROKEN TOOTH - THERE WAS A SCREW IN MY GUACAMOLE by Joy2452 via Citysearch on 4/29/2010

I can't describe what a horrible experience I had. I bit into a one-inch long screw that was in the guacamole. My tooth was broken. DO NOT GO!!!!! HORRIBLE IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE.

Consistant, and awful by freddyginger21 via Citysearch on 2/5/2010

I used to love coming here after work for drinks and food. Sometimes margaritas are the only thing that will do the trick and this place has great and giant margaritas. My distaste for this place has grown over the place four years, and…

ALWAYS try to rip us off! by loosie4 via Citysearch on 2/4/2010

Well this will be several reviews combined into one since I have been here quite a few times. Luckily, I have had the same experience every time. We have been thrown out of here a few times. While sitting at the table we were told to…

Nice atmosphere by Trex2335 via Citysearch on 11/13/2009

I've been to this restaurant a few times after ice skating in central park out of convenience and I've never had a problem. Food and drinks are very good, service is okay, but music can be a bit loud at times. I would still recommend for…

Great! by Loveshoes11 via Citysearch on 8/11/2009

I went here not too long ago and I just had to blog a little about it. It had defiantly exceeded my expectations. I was in the city with a friend and when we got hungry we usually have a few hot spots in mind. Since we were rushing on this…

AVOID AT ALL COSTS by ringo8553 via Citysearch on 4/12/2009

FIRST THEY REFUSED A VALID RESTAURANT DISCOUNT I HAD PAID TO GET..OK, THAT'S MY FIGHT WITH THE ISSUING COMPANY. BUT THE FOOD WAS BARELY TOLERABLE..COLD RICE, BLACK BEAN SOUP THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OUT OF A CAN, SHRIMP THAT CAME OUT…

Great Food, Better Drinks! by prettypriss via Citysearch on 9/19/2007

Me and my friends go to Cancun at least once a week, maybe more :) we've become midday regulars b/c now we have a table where we always get seated at :) The food is quick making lunch here convenient. The Margaritas are big and strong. I…

SERVICE SUCKED! by chase07 via Citysearch on 7/27/2007

I recently ate at Cancun and the service sucked BAD. I asked what types of sofe drinks they had and basically the impression was this is what we have take it or leave it. Also I noticed when a white family came in they were greeted with…

LOUD on Friday nights, BAAAAD service by sharopooks via Citysearch on 6/30/2007

We had an awful dining experience here on a Friday night, despite the great food. It was loud to begin w/ at this place, but then a mariachi band played & it was deafening. Sure, a mariachi band at a Mexican restaurant is a festive thing,…

Worst restaurant in New York by krllady via Citysearch on 5/21/2007

Cancun delivered the absolute WORST restaurant experience I have ever had, and I give it a thumbs-down in every category: disgusting food, horrible service, embarrassing decor. I love Mexican food, and lived in CA for 6 yrs. To my…

Great fun... by latinjewel98 via Citysearch on 11/16/2006

This place looks like a real Mexican restaurant with its decor and lively ambiance. The food is tasty as well as their margaritas. I have been here a few times and can't complain. While it is not the best mexican restaurant I've been…

Ok Mexican by Alexandra D. via Judy's Book on 9/15/2006

For a recent co-worker lunch, we tried Cancun, a festive Mexican restaurant that had gotten good reviews on websites like menupages.com. The decor is definitely lively, maybe a little kitschy. We were there for lunch, so there was no live…

hella-big margaritas by gluzba42 via Citysearch on 8/30/2006

atmosphere is kind of dark,with low ceilings, but the food and drink are yummy and reasonably priced for midtown.

Real Mexican Food in NYC! by chipharder via Citysearch on 7/15/2006

This is, hands down, the best Mexican I have had yet in NYC (and I have looked)! My wife and I are Dallas transplants and this place is the closest we have come to real Tex-Mex. Great chips and salsa (for free!). The burritos and…

Festive by M A via Insider Pages on 11/21/2005

The vegetarian options at this restaurant aren't great but our waitress bent over backwards trying to find something for me to eat so I give it 4 stars. Festive atmosphere and extremely loud. PROS: Great service CONS: Loud!
