This is what we found when we dined here as the result of a Yelp search for high rated places near home.
Everyone, not just our server but everyone was friendly and interested in if we needed anything.
The Chips were as good as any, the white sauce was fine, the Salsa seemed home made and exceptional. We had barely got into the chips when the food arrived.
I ordered a combination of two chicken soft tacos and a chicken burrito plus a side order of beans. My wife a deluxe chicken burrito. All the food was hot and very fresh. The chicken was super fresh and great tasting. The beans also tasted like they were home made like I do at home.
Together with the margaritas the entire bill was very reasonable and the staff were gracious right up to the time we walked out the door.
Exceptional service, food and value will keep us returning for more!
I was visiting from Texas, and as a Texan, I have VERY high standards for mexican food. Â I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of the food here. Â Good chips and salsa, delicious chicken fajita meet, yummy beans and rice, and excellent, efficient, accurate service. Â Wish I lived down the block!!!
Review Source:I've been here four or five times now and always have a good experience. The staff is very friendly (most important to me) and the food is generally very good. It's not expensive and they make a killer margarita; splurge the $1 more and get the Top Shelf, totally worth it! It's like a Mexican Cheers!
Review Source:The food has always been good every time I go to this restaurant. My only complaint is that on two occasions our waitress didn't check on us that often and we needed basic stuff like hot sauce, etc. Â It took too long for her to come to our table so we just ate our meal without the condiments that we wanted.
Other than that, everything else is great. Clean, with friendly staff and good food!
I've never left here unhappy.
I eat here with some regularity which is unusual for me because this is a sit-down restaurant, and I normally only frequent taquerias when I want Mexican. Â This is because the food quality and value found at taquerias is hard to beat by sit-down establishments. Â However, Cancun Fiesta does a pretty good job.
Their Grande Burrito (pictured) is standard but good, and priced very modestly for the portion served.
The fish tacos would be respectable even in San Diego where this dish is most popular. Â They're better here than everywhere else I've tried in HR by a pretty good margin. Â They're standard, no fancy Asian-fusion sauces or exotic salsas but the fish is good and the execution is very consistent.
Drink prices are fair. Â I recommend their top shelf Margarita. Â I think it's around $11 but it's a very healthy pour of 1800 tequila.
The service is great and probably the reason I come back in so often. Â They're fast and every staff member is super friendly. Â They're flexible with their menu options and in my experience are happy to make reasonable substitutions with a smile. Â If you come in, you can trust you'll be well taken care of.
Huge portions + cheap price = pretty much a perfect recipe for me awarding numerous Yelp stars. And the meals taste pretty good, too (though, I agree with the other commentators... they can be a little salty).
The free chips & queso to start are probably the highlight of the meal, but the burritos & enchiladas aren't too bad... and you never leave feeling hungry. I dig this place... so much better than the fake Irish restaurant that used to be in the building.
BTW: The restaurant usually puts out coupons in the Pilot (Deal of the Day section) for Buy One Entree, Get One Free... so you can get a meal for two plus drinks for pretty cheap.
Cancun Fiesta in Olde Towne Portsmouth has become my Mexican restaurant of choice. Reasonably priced. Good food. I can get in and out for lunch for seven or eight bucks if I don't get a soda.
Last night was the first time I'd tried dinner. I took my wife, even though she doesn't really favor Mexican food. She ordered an appetizer, something I generally don't do; it was to die for. Okay, death might be over-the-top, but it was more than darn good. She ordered the Portabella Mushroom: "Grilled and served over crabmeat with pico de gallow. Topped with shrimp and special chef sauce." Fantastic.
My taco and enchilada combo was good -- as always -- but no where near the exceptional taste experience of the portabella mushroom dish. I told my wife that next time we go I'm going to just order the portabella mushroom and a fruity, frozen drink.
Oh, also, they provide unlimited corn chips and two sauces, a white and a red salsa. Always delicious.
And, everyone is always greeted as amigo. So, amigo, if you're looking for good Mexican food near Olde Towne Portsmouth, Cancun Fiesta might very well be your place. Just leave some portabella mushroom for me.
Update 7/1/2012: I continue to be impressed by the quality and consistency of the food here at Cancun Fiesta. The latest delicacy I've found is their Nacho Supreme. Now this isn't like the nachos you are used to at your favorite sit-down chain Mexican restaurant; no, those are likely piled high with stuff dumped on top. Not here. No, this is a more set piece, with chips in a single layer and the meat (and  beans) placed on top. My favorite is the chicken with the refried beans.
Original review: 3/2/2012
the food here is moderately priced for the amount that you get. I came in for lunch and ordered the steak fajitas, the steak was covering the plate, but that taste wasn't quite there. I tried the fried ice cream for dessert. Again the serving was huge but the breading ending up being chips instead of you know, breading. Ending up tasting like chips and ice cream which isn't good.
Review Source:A new addition to the Olde Towne restaurants, this one is located in the first floor of the restored Dinwiddie Hotel on High Street. A friendly staff, eager to please, will explain the authentic menu. Great prices and the food comes out so hot that you can't touch the plate. Full bar with a flat screen TV compliments the dining experience.
