I haven't been to this one for a long time. I remember it being much better. The best thing I ate was the salsa. Very good. The chips were cold, flavorless and had no salt. The sauces were decent, but the pork was over cooked. The service was horrible. We had to wave to the waiter several times to get drink refills. Not good when eating spicy food. The plates were never cleared and he disappeared when we needed the check. I won't be back.
Review Source:My coworkers picked up lunch from there today and I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the poblano pepper lunch special since it is one of my favorite dishes. Really who could mess up a pepper and cheese? Cancun can; I think it may have killed my love for the dish. It had the consistency of rubber and had no flavor at all. The chips tasted like cardboard and the rice like sand, I am glad the beans were there to mix in the rice so I could eat something.
Review Source:I have eaten at Cancun on numerous occasions; though I have to question my OWN taste in this case. Â I cannot believe I go back ever- at all, but the last time we had it, two weeks ago, I was beyond offended. Â We ordered simple dishes, including chicken fajitas and beef CRUNCHY tacos. Â Both came out soggy, taste-less and absolutely disgusting. Â UNACCEPTABLE. Â In addition, our chips were two days old (I mean, obviously I don't KNOW this) and were so stale, my dog wouldn't eat that crap.
I rarely hand out the 1 star, b/c ...well, I think it takes a LOT to irritate me that badly but what a waste of Mexican food! Â It's not that hard...so many other choices and so many BETTER options.
Spend your money elsewhere.
Cancun is one of those places I find myself at fairly often, although there's not one single thing I can say draws me back there....other than it's convenient.
The food is good. Â Best Mexican in Indy/Carmel? Â No, probably not. Â The service is good....actually the service there is well above what I've come to expect from restaurants in the Indy area.
The price is reasonable, and, as one reviewer noted, you do get a LOT of food for the money.
It's not an over the top outstanding experience, but it IS good food and good service for a reasonable price, and for that reason, I'm a regular. :)
Cancun in Carmel is solid. I think I would probably give the food 3 stars, but I always get really good, friendly service when I go, so I bumped it up to 4 stars.
Most of the menu items are fairly typical of what you would find in a fairly authentic Mexican (Tex-Mex) restaurant trying to appeal to American (particularly Midwestern Americans.) Portion sizes are generous (I usually get 2-3 meals out of one order of fajitas), and the prices are reasonable. The prices are really great if you order one of the daily specials. There are even daily specials on the weekend, which is nice.
I will give it points for being extremely clean when I was there. We ordered the Huevos Rancheros and Enchiladas Suizas. Both came out looking to be more on the "fake American" side of Mexican food. That would've been fine, not my favorite, but fine...if the food had any taste at all. I'm not sure I have ever had such bland food, nevertheless, bland mexican food. We won't be going back. The quest continues for delicious Mexican food in Indy.
Review Source:This was the 1st true Tex Mex place around after I moved here from Texas in 1993. Oh we had Taco Bell ( the Mexican Telephone Co) and Che Che's, but no real deal Mexican place. As time moved on and more people from Mexico into the Indianapolis area more Mom and Pop joint opened. This is great if you love Mexican food (Tex Mex) and wanted the real thing! The food of Mexico if not all the same as here in the U.S., each regain of the country has it's own style. Some more sea food, some more beef, and some more pork or chicken. I like them all and Cancun does cover all. I have been to some of the new Cancun's as they seem to be opening all over the area. The problem is some are better then others, but this is the 1st and is still the best!
Remember to eat well and live well! And please no chain's!
Cancun is our second "El Jaripeo back up" Mexican Restaurant. We have always had pretty good service here - sometimes a little slower and less proactive than we'd like - but pretty good. We really like the salsa, enchiladas, chalupas and vegetarian fajitas here, among other things.
The location is convenient, but if you go on a busy night you might have a little trouble finding a parking space as the lot is a bit on the small side.
I do like the Cancun on Keystone a little better, but this location is much closer for us so that usually wins out.
Are you like me and prefer the Mexican Restaurants that offer 'real' Mexican food and not the fluffed up stuff, well then, this is your place. Â I've only been there a few times and I've always gotten the chili verde chimichanga. Â YUmmmmmY. Â We have to stop ourselves from finishing the 2nd basket of chips & salsa so that we have room for what we ordered. Â As soon as we get over there again, and I order something different I'll come back and post some more.
