You know when you walk into a restaurant and something tells you, don't eat here. That is what happened to us. We ate on Saturday, May 30th. As you walk in the stange of alcohol from the bar is very strong and they don't seem to mind it. Once you go in the back is very dark even if it... more

The waiter was borderline rude talking on his cell phone, very unfriendly. We waited an unaccpetable amount of time for refills. My wife ordered a two taco combo and it was practically taco bell style. Greasy ground beef and a taco shell out of the box from the store. more

Cosy and attractive restaurant that was able to seat us without a reservation. Free nachos and salsa brought to our table. Service and food were only "ok", however. Not expensive but I would have happily paid more to get something more tasty. I had chicken fajitas (usually a safe bet). Reasonably generous portion but very bland for mexican - had... more

My daughter and I ate at the Cancun Restaurant after seeing the Lion King on Broadway. The food was pretty decent. The service was good and the prices was excellent. I thought our bill was going to be outrageous because of the prices in the city, but to my surprise it was not. I live in Jersey and I have... more

We went for the $4 margaritas at happy hour but we were late, so we decided to eat dinner after moving tables due to the heat of the restaurant. We had ordered a few different items off of the menu to try, after we asked the waitress for some suggestions, she didn't understand what we were asking. Our food came,... more
