Customer Reviews
If you’re anywhere near Waukee, you have to stop by Cancun Grill and Cantina! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The chips and salsa were the perfect start, and our entrées were served hot and packed with authentic flavor. The margaritas were some of the best we’ve had — perfectly balanced and generously sized! The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, checking in often and making us feel right at home. It’s clear they truly care about their customers’ experience. Whether you’re going out for a family dinner, date night, or just craving amazing Mexican cuisine, Cancun Grill and Cantina is a must-visit. W
Stopped in for early dinner. Greeted at once and seated. Was brought a good sized basket of chips (house made) and salsa ( house made, could have had a little more cilantro) Ordered El Moro Chimichanga. 12 inch tortilla stuffed with pork and I mean stuffed!! Wife had Seafood chimi, which was stuffed. Guacamole on mine was house made. Was a little skeptical because of some of the reviews. Service was great, pop and tea refills provided. Prices in line with other similar establishments. Food was good. We will return.
The staff was very nice. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered a "Tony" quesadilla, cheese enchilada and beef enchilada. We were given salsa and chips when we sat down. I was not impressed, and will not be returning.
My taco Diablo. The meat suppose to be a spicy chorizo. But what a got was something fried, not sure what. No spice, no flavor, a few diced onions and radish. No sauce or flavor. But what bothered me more was the bill. The total was $150.00. I put $200.00 cash down. Never got any money back. I was going to tip but I feel that is my choice how much not his. I hope they enjoyed my $50.00 tip because we will not be back.
First meal I got here, no complaints. This 2nd one- birria Tacos. Wayyyyyyyy too much salt. Like an insane amount of salt. They give you 3 birria tacos and I can barely finish this first one it is so salty. Great flavor. Just way too much salt... Please reduce the salt on this and it'll be perfect.
