Local restaurant. Looks very nice inside. I can see why people like it there. So, food was good, but it's best to eat fresh. ( second day, not good already) . Drinks were good, too. And it was very cheap. Specifically, I wanna say thank you for the guy named Marco, he helped a lot. So anyway, I can recommend this place.

Fantastic Mexican food. I grew up in Arizona and I'd put the quality of this food up to any of the amazing restaurants I grew up with. Really wonderful atmosphere, amazing and friendly service and the food knocks it out of the park. I recommend "Lunch Special #1" which is a chili relleno, a hard shell taco, refried beans and guacamole salad. Combined with the free chips and salsa when you sit down and an ice cold cervesa. You'll be so happy to have found this place.

Incredible service, food, atmosphere, and margaritas! As foodies, it can be hard to hit all the high points with us, but Cancun nailed it. Top shelf margarita, probably the best margarita I've ever had. The food was so delicious! We can't wait to go back!

My 2nd favorite Mexican restaurant in Greeneville. The owner and staff are always so friendly. As a foody I prefer to eat food that has lots of flavor. There are plenty of bland Mexican food in Greeneville. However, Cancun restaurant delivers on flavor and quality. I have posted their current menu. Enjoy!!
