Amazing appetizers and Great burritos I recommend the chimichanga special it is sooooooooo good and the food was fast and fresh Collin out

Stopped by here after a long day of travel. Was not expecting anything stellar and that was reflected in the level of service. Staff seem very uninterested in serving people and would rather hang around and chat. The interior is very dated and could use a major upgrade. Also, food on the floor and under the tables. Does this restaurant ever get cleaned? I was going to rate this place a three... till the food situation. Menu is massively extensive and the food is what sets this place apart. Chose fish tacos and a veggie combo. Unlike other Mexican places in the Midwest - this place does not coat everything in "queso". Veggie quesadilla's were awesome, as were the fish tacos. Food is genuinely flavorful and tasty. Will certainly return. read more

As a trucker it's hard to find Vegan food while on the road. I just found my new spot when passing through Kanas. Vegetable Fajitas was super good, and came with homemade chips/ salsa, Rice / beans. The service was amazing too! The women talking my order was very understanding that I'm Vegan and made sure to have my order right read more

We are on a road trip to Colorado and stopped at the Days Inn across the street after 15 hours of driving. This place had good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. Immediately, you could see the workers were hard working. They were literally running from place to place sometimes. We ordered a pitcher of lime margaritas because the frozen margarita machine was broken. The margaritas were some of the worst I've ever had. The sour mix tasted like it had lime soda in it and I'm questioning if there was even any alcohol. I got the combination number 10 on the menu. The beef enchilada and beef taco were authentic and delicious. I didn't care for the beef burrito. The chips were below average. They seemed partially stale. The salsa was smooth with a great semi spiciness flavor. Overall, the food was good, margaritas horrible, but the flies landing on our table (and food) and dust on the hanging bar glasses were a turn off. I'm still giving them 3 stars because they were very hard working and because my expectations were fairly low to begin with while stopping in Ellis, KS. read more

They always seem to have good food. We've been there several times and we are probably gonna go back again, but the prices are reasonable. The food is more than you can eat. read more

If you're driving through western Kansas you're tired of all the fast food and truckstop food out there, I heartily recommend pulling off I-70 at Ellis for Cancun Mexican Grill. My wife had a grilled tilapia platter with shrimp, it was not only beautifully presented but she said delicious. I had a couple of fish tacos and they were also delicious. Interestingly, the fish was grilled, then chopped so it wouldn't slip out of the shell. Add a little pico de gallo and voilà! Also there for refried beans or nicely space and not pasty like a lot are. read more

Great little hole in the wall place. The food is wonderful and the service was good. We went for Dinner and it didn't disappoint. I had fajitas and they were flavorful but needed some seasoning (salt). The place is a little run down and the upholstery could use a lot of work, but the food was nice and the place was clean. read more

I'm giving it 3 stars because we were able to get vegan/vegetarian meals. But they gave us meat in our vegetarian fajitas so I had to return to have them fix it. The food is greasy and salty and don't make you feel good after eating it but there aren't many choices here in Ellis so I'd say this is probably your best bet. read more

I ordered chicken tacos with no cheese because I'm allergic to beef and dairy. Though they left off the cheese they gave me beef. When they finally gave me chicken it was bland and dry. They were supposed to be fried flour shell, the frying left a lot to be desired. On a side note, the bathroom was clean. read more

Stopped at this exit to get gas. Had planned on eating at Subway that was in the building where the gas was located but then noticed this Mexican restaurant. Yum!!!! I ordered the number 7 combination plate....an Enchilada (I always get a cheese one), a Chile Relleno, Mexican rice and refried beans. Omg!!! Everything was so fresh tasting! The poblano chile was REALLY fresh tasting. Something I have never noticed before at any Mexican restaurant. The rice was very tasty and the refried beans were delicious. I also asked for their house hot sauce. So good! Beforehand they give you the requisite tortilla chips and salsa. They gave the salsa to us in a little pouring container along with two bowls to pour it in. So both me and my husband had our own bowls of salsa. So convenient and something that I've never had done at any other Mexican restaurant. Our waiter (maybe the owner?) was very friendly and accommodating. What a great find. Oh....my husband ordered the beef fajita which he loved as well. read more

This is an amazing Mexican food restaurant, located off the Ellis exit on I - 70. I took this exit to get gas and noticed this restaurant was only the food located off the exit. I was very curious seeing a Mexican restaurant in a very austere location, so I tried it. Every part of the meal was incredible, starting with the chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were fresh and extremely flavorful. I rarely eat all the chips and salsa when I am dining solo, but they were so good I ate the entire basket throughout the meal. I ordered the Cancun special, which are basically kicked-up fajitas with steak, chorizo, chicken shrimp and sautéed vegetables. The entrée had exceptional flavor and the tortillas were freshly made. The side dishes which included rice, beans and guacamole salad were phenomenal. This meal was truly exceptional, there was not any portion of the meal that did nit have a ton of flavor. The portions were very large. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy Mexican food, also the service was fantastic. read more

So here's the deal. This place is in my hometown, so I usually try to eat here when I come back to visit once a month. But you really have to watch because some of the staff there will try to overcharge you for your food. Usually I eat inside, but I just wanted to pick my food up and go home and eat. so I got there and I ordered a burrito and a Jacky burger and the guy tries to charge me almost $27. And I said I think you overcharged me. I said these are the prices and he acted like it was a mistake. Which I get it people make mistakes, but this not the first time it happened every time I go up there I have to make sure depending on who Is working, they are not overcharging me. There was literally one table of five people and I'm pretty sure they already had their food. He told me it would take about 15 minutes. Now I eat up here all the time and usually when I order it takes less than 10 minutes for the food to come out even if it's been busy, I literally stood there for 30 minutes before my food was ready and then when I drove to my dad's house which is like a minute down the hill and sat down to eat my food. It was cold. I don't know who the owners are, but they better watch because their employees overcharging people because I've heard other people say the same thing. I do like the food, which is why I continue to go there, but I always make sure my ticket is correct. read more

Great place right off the highway to get a quick lunch. Incredibly clean inside. Food is great and has great menu options. I was helped right away. I've driven past this place so many times and will now make this place a must stop on my travels. Food was wonderful and the lime margaritas are excellent. The service was also incredible, I will be back next time I'm on the road! read more

If you driving by this place( just by I-70) and remotely hungry, you should seriously consider eating here. The best part is that it would not cost a fortune to enjoy such delicious food. We were hungry as we were driving from Colorado through Kansas by I-70; looking for a decent place to get ok food. Seeing this place so close to I-70, we decided to stop by this place. Pretty unassuming outside and inside looks reasonably good in Mexican food. We were given a menu with some pictures. We pointed one and asked for other advice from Dahlia, a wonderful young lady who was serving us. We also ordered her suggestion. The food was delicious. We also order some takeout for the long drive ahead. The price was extremely reasonable. We are really glad we picked this place. Highly recommended; try this place if you are driving by. Otherwise you miss this great food. read more

Nice upgrade from Alloways from back in the day. Cancun Muy bien ! We stop every time to and from Denver !

Pretty tasty. I love how in the middle of no where I found this little gem of Mexican food. I'm a bit home sick, from Los Angeles, if I close my eyes I feel like I'm home. The hostess and waitress are nice and my drink doesn't stay empty for long at all. Chips and salsa are delicious, better than back home even if you like it not too spicy. read more

Surprisingly, authentic Mexican food for the middle of Kansas. The food was very tasty, the sauces were obviously homemade and a good variety. I had the fajita taco salad, which was a little bit greasy, but also delicious. My spouse had the three 3 different enchiladas., which were also quite tasty. She said the green sauce was especially delicious. The service was very fast as it was the food prep. The place was clean and tidy. read more

Definitely not the best tex-mex I've eaten, for sure, but the service was really good. This restaurant is right by a truck stop off of i70 so it was a good place to have lunch during a road trip. I despise fast food, so this was a good alternative. I ordered combo #11 (a beef taco, a beef enchilada and a Chile relleno). The Chile was very oily, and the taco was fried as well. The flavors were not very complex but it was ok. The waitress quickly seated me, brought a menu, asked for my drink choice and quickly returned for my order. The food was in front of me in 10 minutes or so and she quickly got me a check at the end of the meal. I wish I would have gotten her name. She was on it. Given the location it's nice to see that they understand that speedy service is important and I was able to eat a nice meal and quickly return to my trip without a snag. Awesome service. read more

I never would have guessed that the best Mexican food I've ever eaten would be in Kansas. I've been here once before, and decided then that this would be a permanent fixture on my I-70 runs. This trip I tried the Fajitas Hawaiianas, a traditional fajita dish with a Hawaiian twist. The usual marinated beef and chicken found in fajitas are mixed with shrimp and pineapple, and of course onions and peppers, all of this served on a base cut from a whole pineapple. The flour tortillas are soft and hot, and although I'm not normally a fan of refried beans, I found myself cleaning the plate. For dessert I can't go any farther than their flan. This is difficult to get right... so many places tend to burn the caramel sauce, making it bitter. Here, the sauce is light and sweet and just wonderful. However of all the parts of a meal here, the most amazing is the salsa. Utterly divine, with just the right hints of kick, I would have no problem eating the stuff with a spoon. This restaurant will forever be locked in my GPS as a must-stop when I'm on I-70 in Kansas. read more

Surprise, Surprise! Really very good. Arrived right at 5:pm for dinner along with 6 or 7 fellow parties of travelers all at the same time. They handled the rush well. Salsa is very good with the chips.. I had cheese enchiladas that were smothered with cheese generous portion of well seasoned chicken along with side of Mexican rice. Wife had a taco and enchilada combo with rice and beans. We both really enjoyed the food. Service was very friendly and they hustled. Hot tasty food and cold cervesa. Highly recommend. read more

Passing through and this restaurant had very good reviews. It did not disappoint. We were not adventurous and ordered steak burritos. They came with a red sauce, a white sauce and a green sauce on separated sections of the burrito. The white was our favorite and was delicious. All the flavors were good. There are quite a few locals in here enjoying dinner with fun conversations and lots of laughter. Great lighting with big windows. There is a nice patio for warmer weather. Right off the highway so it's easy access and parking is good too. There is also a bar for those looking for something refreshing. Very colorful and nice music.The water is cloudy so the ice tea was not good. read more

Their menu may look like many other Mexican restaurants but the food is WAY BETTER!!! Seems their sauces are homemade and the sauce is everything! We especially loved the green sauce. Can't wait to come again when we travel thru here again. read more

Dirty bathrooms! Chips stale and old,food was ok not much flavor! But salsa and Queso was very good.

We took our food to go (COVID concerns) and the food was really good. The hostess took our order and was very helpful with my gluten free needs. I was able to have the Hawaiian fajitas, which were very yummy, and had NO problems from my gluten intolerance. Yay! The hubby had the street tacos and was also impressed. The hubby ordered the flan because the picture looked so yummy but it got left out of the order. Oops. By the time we finished everything else, we didn't have room for it anyway. read more

I am STOKED that I found good Mexican food within walking distance of a truck-stop. Any restaurant that close to a truck-stop is usually horrible, cheap and just in general, totally avoidable. This was not the case with Cancun Mexican Grill. I wanted a HUGE burrito. I always cut it in half, eat half now and then save the other half for lunch the next day or for later when I've got the munchies. In my case, the latter was the case. I went with the "Jumbo Burrito" with beef. It came with lettuce, rice, beans, tomatoes and was covered in cheese. It was fantastic! I've only had a burrito like that in San Antonio and to have it in Kansas was freaking amazing. My husband ordered the chicken taquitos because they would be easier to eat while he drove and he said they were delicious. They came with a small order of rice and beans, a guacamole salad and were topped with cheese. The chips and salsa were also fantastic. I could probably say that besides my burrito, this would keep me coming back to Cancun Mexican Grill. These people really know what they are doing. I'd suggest going inside and ordering because the language barrier is extreme. read more
