    I love this place. The food is always good, service is always exceptional, and the margaritas are always perfect. We find ourselves there often, even if it's only for a couple of 'ritas and apps because the staff is so warm and friendly, it has that local place feel. We are always greeted with a smile and the drinks hit our table even before we order them. I highly recommend trying this place if you like real Mexican food, not Taco-Hell.

    Good lord my burrito was huge. It was good too, but the only thing I can remember about it was the massive thing that came to my table when I thought i was ordering a cheapo side item. It was stuffed with rice, beans, chicken, and of course cheese! I first went to this place 3 or so years ago and hated it, but it's actually really good. The margaritas are yum. Back then it always had stale chips and okay food. That was not the case when I recently went, so if in south Knox stop by.

    A very poor excuse for a Mexican restaurant. It is clean and the chips and salsa are decent, but the service is lazy, the manager does not wash his hands after smoking in the parking lot, and the main ingredient in all the dishes seems to be grease. Skip. This restaurant would not last two days in California.

    3.5 Fast service for the hungry folks! After placing our order, the chips and salsa followed shortly. This is the first time I didn't finish the chips and salsa. The chips were super thin and not as addicting as they usually are. I love that they weren't salty and the salsa texture wasn't runny. I ordered the Lunch special #3, which consisted of the bean burrito, cheese wrap, rice. Luckily my friend didn't want his greens and guacamole so I added that to my plain rice and that made a huge difference. The cheese wrap was surprisingly to my likings. This was better than my previous experience where the cheese was just a block but this cheese was warm, melted but still thick. The bean burrito, well it's a mush of beans. I gave them a 4 because the food was decent and not oily, very cheap, and the service was fast.

    We are BIG fans and are so happy that Cancun is not only in Knoxville, but especially in South Knox where we live...no driving out to West Strip-Mall Central (yawn). We DO have super-great eats this side of the bridge! Yey! Hands-down - Cancun makes the BEST Mole sauce outside of deep Mexico and that rates a 5 star on its own. We'd give it a 'five' but we need more time to delve into the menu further. But the Mole is amazingly sublime and if a place can make this sauce consistently (and they have thus far), then they've earned some good stars by my book. It's a tricky sauce thing...but if ya want a big-nasty burrito no problem. However - the Mole elevates everything to tongue-twisting Magic. Seriously? This high Mexican quality here in little 'ol Knoxville? So far from Mexico? Dang yes! This town never ceases to delight and amaze us - Bravo Cancun!

    My son loves their beef tacos and cheese dip. I love the carnitas tacos. That's about all I usually get. Great margaritas. We go there about once a week. I rather come here than Pancho's on Chapman. Used to be that I rather go to Pancho's but that changed.

    Quick, tasty, great mexican in the SoKno. Love the staff and the margaritas are strong and good. I'd rather go here than the over-rated Soccer Taco.

    This is a good little Mexican restaurant! Located in the same shopping center as Kroger, this place would be hard to miss. I always start with cheese dip. The service is pretty speedy service, which I like. You never have to ask twice. My personal favorite is the Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. The Quesadilla is not flat like you would normally find, they make it look like an extra large soft shell taco stuffed with cooked fajita style chicken, tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions. :) You can never have enough cheese so I always add a little more to my quesadilla. They serve until 10:00 most nights. Go check them out! Cheers and Enjoy!

    Awesome!! I live in SoCal and have Mexican a lot. While in Knoxville I wanted Mexican and didn't expect to find much. Then I found Cancun. Wow! The Enchilada DelMar was great. The margaritas are real, not that crap green mixer. This is some of the best Mexican I've ever had. If you haven't been there you are missing out on great authentic Mexican food.

    The food here at Cancun Mexican Restaurant is good and the service is excellent. I had the steak fajitas with a side of rice and beans, and they were very good. The chips were hot and fresh and not stale which is very important because stale chips are the worst. And you get a lot of food here too. I eat a lot and I still had plenty of food leftover. Inside of Cancun Mexican Restaurant it does have a bar type of feel to it. With many big screen TVs playing espn. Overall, I would recommend eating here. Definitely a good spot to come and Have a drink, eat some good mexican food and watch a game.

    Very good margaritas - especially for $6. The veggie chimichanga was absolutely incredible so we were rocking here... Overall, not a bad 'dive' for some quick but good Mexcican food.

    Cancun is easy, cheap and quite good. I live in South Knox, so it is very convenient and you could definitely say I'm a regular. The staff is nice and professional and the food is always very good.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
