Tonight we decided to do something different for dinner and try a new place to us. Cancun Restaurant in Cranbrook it truly amazing. The service was also amazing. It felt like we were sitting in grandma's Mexican kitchen. We both left fully satisfied and we found our new favorite place.
Definitely an authentic experience here at Cancun! Very friendly and hospitable host/owner, always smiling. We have been here a few times and thought that the food was ok and service a little slow. But this last visit really was great. I think having actually been to Mexico now, then coming here afterwards, really showed the authenticity. My daughter goes often and raves about the taco trio plate. I had the mixed fajitas and I was stuffed. Fresh food, great portions and friendly staff. Worth a visit.
The best and most authentic Mexican food in Canada that I know of!!! Extremely good flavor! Also really good drinks. Try the Horchata drink, super delicious! Friendly Spanish speaking staff. Sure worth going there. Highly recommended!
Lovely place, awesome service. The food is the kind that, first bite, takes you back to any town you've visited in Mexico. Authentic corn shells and wonderful food at a great price. I will deffinitly be back!
I come here for lunch and ordered the enchiladas with refried beans, salad and rice. It was so flavourful. I was craving it for dinner. When I come back to Cranbrook for work, you bet I will be eating here.
This place is AMAZING!!! Had chiles rellenos and horchata but can’t wait to do papusas next time! So great to discover this authentic Latin American gem in Cranbrook.
The food is ok. It's not authentic Mexican food, its gringo style TexMex food. I had Tacos de Pollo and had to eat it with cutlery. Taste was good though. Negative point is that payment with Visa and Mastercard is no longer possible. As a European you normally don't have 5 different credit cards. Cash is king I guess
Amazing food at a legit Mexican spot! Cool Mexican vibe with the colours, murals, and music!
