Definetly the top Mexican diner in town. Food comes fast and flavorful. My first time going was actually very disappointing, got the tropical fajitas because I've had it at other places and usually love it, but this one was just not very flavorful and the ingredients weren't combined well (loved the half-pineapple surging plate though, very fun). Friends kept saying I just got unlucky and that I need to go back and try something else and they were absolutely right! My next trip I wanted something acidic and bright with a meat and veggie presence instead of the typical rice, beans, and a dab of some ground beef or chicken. Almost settled for something like that but then saw the Burrito Ranchito and it was INCREDIBLE. Pico, avocado, steak, and onions were exactly what I wanted that night and it came out just as delicious as I was expecting. Tried it a couple times since, including one trip where we all ordered the California Burrito partly because it was funny and partly because it was a great price for a standard Mexican grill plate. Despite getting it for budget and reliability, we all still really loved it. read more

Mi Cancun - Mexican Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Great tasting food and excellent service! My wife ordered the Fajita Quesadilla. She loved it! The combination of the vegetables and the perfectly cooked chicken blended to create a tasty meal. There were too many dishes that enticed me so, with the servers help I settled on the Pollo Chipotle. She picked a winner! The chicken was nicely spiced and the sauce was delicious. I did think that the portion of refried beans and rice was skimpy. To me, the salsa was so-so. Overall, a great experience! read more

Overall it's not bad but it's not my first choice Mexican cuisine. The shrimp were flavorful and the sauce was spicy. The same sauce was on the chicken but the chicken was a little dry. The white sauce was sweet and savory. Now the service was top of the line. The vibe was family fun and laughter. read more

I come here quite often. My entire family has one thing or another that they love from this restaurant. The dishes they serve feel very unique, even when a typical Mexican dish is pretty basic. They seem to have reimagined even the most mundane of meals. I really can't explain it better than that... One thing that I'm not a huge fan of (even though I think I'm in the minority on this opinion) is their cocktails. I don't drink often but I do love a margarita and I have yet to try one single margarita from here that I've thought was really good. The service here is actually pretty hit or miss. Most of the time it's really great, but several times it's been truly abhorent. There have been waiters that completely ignore the table after they take the order, some that don't seem to really understand what you're asking, and one time my daughter was standing in an aisle while we were waiting to be sat and a server shouted at her to "move" quite abruptly. We did actually chose to leave after that because my daughter was honestly very upset. The restaurant feels very different on one side than it does the other. If you get sat in the front part of the restaurant there are only a handful of tables. We've been sat there a few times. On one of those occasions there was a window unit air conditioner that was dripping onto our table.. and honestly... that's a good mental picture for what this side of the restaurant feels like. The rest of the restaurant (which is the majority) is very vibrant and colorful. There are roomy booths and decent sized tables. read more

The food was great as my wife and I had the salads. The service was great as our waiter checked on us several times. The restaurant was clean and very well staffed to take care of customers. Highly recommend them and will visit again! read more

Henrry was great, honestly the whole staff was. We got the steak and shrimp fajitas and they were completely stacked with protein. The drinks could've been a bit stronger but overall great!! read more

Excellent service stands out at this Tex-Mex style eatery. The chips are hot, thin, and crispy, and the salsa fresh and relatively mild but tasty. We had two lunch specials - one a grilled chicken dish and the other a veggie burrito with a verde sauce. Both were good and were accompanied by Mexican rice and beans. Prices are reasonable. read more

Service was great food was delicious! It was a packed house but the service was on point.

I had eaten my salsa down and discovered a long piece of hair. I actually pulled out in front of the waiter and he just shrugged his shoulders and brought a new Salsa. He did not try to accommodate me in any way. When I asked for some type of discount he reported "no". Also after ordering a tequila flight and discovering after the fact that it was $35.99 I asked what kind of alcohol was in it and I was told Lunazol. Bottom shelf alcohol for $35.99. Service was not good at all. I recommend 3 amigos or Plaza Azteca for good customer service. read more

Just fabuloso!! I don't know what happened when they changed ownership from the formerHappy Taco, but, wow! We loved Happy Taco too, but this food was so tasty, beautiful presentation, and super fast service!! Also, we love that they changed the front doors from heavy mission style to glass. Really brightened the place up! Gracias a todos!! read more

This place is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in town (no shade to 3 amigos). They were packed today when I went and the service was phenomenal, no wait time at all. My drinks never went past the half way mark without being filled, we always had fresh chips on our table, and the waiter checked on us frequently. The food was cooked correctly and the waitress that handed us our second round of chips was wearing gloves, which I appreciated. Love this place!! read more

Mi Cancun - Quesabirria with street corn and Spanish rice - Mexican Near Me - Elizabeth City, North Carolina

Sat quickly and given salsa and chips immediately! Delicious margaritas and sangria. Food was amazing!

Just had the pleasure of dining at Mi Cancun in Elizabeth city. My husband got chimichangas, I got the chorizo and shrimp tacos. The salsa was supreme, and we are picky. The chips were fresh and extremely crunchy. Just enough salt. The food was amazing. we ordered the red sangria. It came packed with fruit and flavor five out of five out of five out of five highly recommend, all for $42 plus tip. read more

Arrived in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday and was seated quickly. The inside is pretty cool with a Mexican party theme and decorations. I was surprised there were not more yelp reviews and pictures, so I went on Google and they have a ton. The food is really good from beginning to end, and have no complaints. This was our first time here and we both agreed to come back. The service was awesome, different people came by to check on us brought more chips and salsa and offered fresh limes. The folks seem genuinely happy to have us in their restaurant. I strongly recommend Mi Cancun and will definitely return. Cheers! read more

Quick lunch service actually after 2 pm. Had guacamole made at table very good. Food was very good, and service was excelente. Prices vary which is a plus, but whatever you get I'm sure you won't leave hungry! read more

The service is horrible! They either don't speak English or act like they don't understand you. You're lucky if they get the one guy who does, to come help handle the request and 70% of the time he forgets to come back with said item and the wait staff never brings it either. Over charge, under deliver. Was really excited to get a New Mexican spot in town. But the service just really disappoints! read more

Server was pleasant, food came out quick and hot. Overall ambience of the place is very lively but relaxing.

Amazing. The menu has so many great choices. Really good food, service, will go back.

Ok, so I had high hopes for this place as I'd read multiple rave reviews on local food pages. I probably won't return unless it's to drink as their cocktail menu looked great. I was there with my young son so I ordered a tea for him and water for myself and the waiter returned w tea for us both and seemed confused when I explained I wanted water. Fine, it's a Mexican restaurant I get he may not be fluent in English. I ordered a basic small margarita with salt. Again looked confused and a second man came over clearly English proficient and asked what sort of margarita I wanted, I said standard small margarita w just salt, he said gotcha and a few minutes later a small margarita with like 5 different fruits on the rim and no salt was delivered. Ok cool. I was hoping to see some Birria on the menu- maybe I missed it, but I looked a couple times with no luck. My carnitas came and it was half the size that I'd get at another local establishment at the same price. I didn't enjoy the flavor of the carnitas but it was fine, just not a fan- it's usually my favorite dish. My son got the kids chicken fingers with rice which came out w fries and the waiter noticed immediately and fixed the error. But the "chicken fingers" were still nuggets, no matter. It seems like a pretty hopping spot and the waiter was attentive despite his initial issues which I'm sure were more language barriers than anything else. I really wanted to like this place but it's a 'meh' for me. Afterthought: there were a ton of flies for the whole meal read more

The service was great! They were packed very tightly and we still got a table as soon as we walked in. When we got to our table the chips were already there and they were taking our drink orders. They were swift and polite, and the staff are very friendly. The food was also very delicious! read more

This is what a great Mexican restaurant looks like! The food is so flavorful and the cocktails are STRONG. If you are going to a Mexican restaurant and the servers speak good English, you've done something wrong. I've tried almost all Mexican restaurants in EC and this place tops them all. (Except three amigos, can't even call that edible let alone Mexican) Bonus Tip: Do yourself a favor and order the chorizo queso dip. Thank me later. read more

Wonderful meal, great service and very reasonably priced! We had an authentic chile relleno with chicken, fiesta chicken and tacos. The real deal, authentic , tasty, fresh food and very attentive, friendly service. There were quite a few cars in the parking lot, but there was plenty of room inside and the decor was cheerful and colorful. We will be back, for sure read more

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service. Recently opened in the former Happy Taco building in Elizabeth City. Each person at the table gets their own cup of salsa which is nice and the tortilla chips are salted perfectly. This is my new go-to Mexican restaurant! read more

This is possibly the best Mexican Restaurant we have been to! Delicious homemade table side quacamole, and the staff is always hustling to make sure everyone is taken care of. My personal favorite is the Chile Releno', the meat served with it and the other choices like , taco, burrito, enchilada, etc., is very tasty. We drive from Moyock, and have had no regrets, and every one we have brought there has agreed with the above. Their margarita is my Wife's favorite and only takes one to put a smile on her beautiful face! I do want to defend some reviews based on the language barrier, we have had to make sure they understand us sometimes, but this is much better than going to Mexico and cheaper, those people would not complain if they were there. Most can fluently speak two languages, can you? For those who cited this Go to "Taco Bell" and that way we can get seated earlier to enjoy the "authenticity" and culture that produces such a wonderful experience. read more

They have really good food, but very loud music. On the last 3 times we went there it was really, really loud. You can't even talk to the person you went with because they can't hear you! read more
