The food was mediocre, the service was HORRIBLE. We waited WAY TOO long to be rang up while the employees sat at a table next to us and conversated. Our drinks weren't refilled until our meal was practically over. We were the ONLY table in the restaraunt! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

We stopped here our first night in Post A. Lots of shrimp on the menu for a Mexican restaurant. No shrimp burrito (my favorite). I asked, and they made me the BEST shrimp burrito I've ever had. Margarita was good too. Dale had shrimp fajitas and soda and the bill was around $25. SO good. I think we'll be back... More

I love the green chicken enchiladas and the shrimp cocktail. They let u order anything off the menu for breakfast. They now serve sweet tea. Love that. Great service and super variety. There is a small bar as well. Enjoy!

This is the same place as the Cancun Grill and Cantina, but is now called the Cancun Mexican Restaurant. They have a wide selection of dishes at good prices, Several tables were ordering the margaritas. Our shrimp and chicken was excellent. Many of the patrons were local residents.

We were out looking for a place to eat in Port A with three teens and three adults. After reading a few reviews we decided to try. Wow, reasonable prices, a huge selection of authentic Mexican specialties, and a kind woman who serve us. It's homemade food, but it arrived without a long wait. Would recommend if you don't mind...

This is an authentic Mexican food restaurant. My husband and I stopped in here during our stay in Port Aransas on our honeymoon and had read plenty of reviews that say to try the queso. My recommendation: DEFINITELY try the queso. It was delicious! Everything down to the rice and beans was delicious, and the price was great. I'm not... More

Several people who work in Port A recommended this restaurant heartily and now we know why!! There are no frills here, but they do the food right! Marisela was our waitress and she brought excellent eggs, bacon and pancakes from the kitchen. Looking forward to going back for another breakfast, first time lunch and dinner. The prices are incredible. We... More

My husband and I ate here for lunch today after seeing some good reviews and were very pleased. Out food was good and not outrageously priced. We always judge a Mexican food joint by the chips and salsa... and their salsa didn't disappoint! Lots of flavor and a bit of a kick. Yum! We left the restaurant full and happy.... More

Breakfast-really great breakfast tacos. Even better when the cook doesn't "wrap" the cheese into the foil (taco aficionados know what I mean!). Beware, they get a hefty charge to "add" cheese. Dinner-Try the taquitos. LOTS of food for a really great price: three (corn tortilla) tacos filled with carne asada topped with fresh cilantro (ask for some fresh chopped onion!),... More
