    Bottom line: Mi Cancun in Grace Park of Morrisville delivered a good and definitely extremely fast lunch meal in the Quesadilla Deluxe meal from the Vamonos Lunch Express part of the menu. Fast service, nice atmosphere, and a tasty quesadilla equaled an enjoyable meal here. The Deets: Mi Cancun's original location in Morrisville is very close in proximity to me but I just have not visited them a lot as Mexican food is not one of my go-to cuisines. I've had a few meals there, especially when friends come into town though. This past weekend, I decided to walk up for a quick lunch stop. There was no wait/line and I was quickly shown to a booth with a menu to look at for selections. There was a good amount of people there but not completely full up, and I noted the UNC football game on to watch on the big TV as well. Decor is what you would expect, nicely done. I gravitated to looking at the Vamonos Lunch Express section of their menu, selections coming in at $8.99 at the time of this writing. Chips and salsa were brought to the table and were what you would expect here as well. My order was quickly taken after bringing my soda, I opted for the Quesadilla Deluxe which is a flour tortilla w/cheese and chicken, having lettuce/pico de gallo/sour cream served on the side. This meal came out in blindingly quick lightspeed/warp fashion so that was the "express" in the Vamonos Lunch Express on the menu I am sure. I enjoyed this quickly prepared and definitely lunch portioned quesadilla. A solid choice with good taste and I enjoyed the accompanying rice as well. I'd definitely get this one again. Overall, good lunch visit here at my neighborhood Mi Cancun Mexican restaurant location this past weekend.

    I left this restaurant overly stuffed! The restaurant was beautifully decorated, it definitely had a "Cancun, Mexico feel" like you are at a party. The music was loud but you could still hear the people at your table talking which was a plus. The service was very different. Instead of have just 1 waiter we had 5 of them which was unique, we never had to wait for someone to come to us which was awesome. The food was amazing. It didn't look like a lot of food at first but when we got done eating, our stomachs were tight! We also had dessert which was really good. I will definitely be coming back again!

    When you think of a Mexican chain, you probably think of a restaurant where you order one of those big piping hot combination platters with the world's largest plate, loaded with some mix of burritos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. The food itself is average, the service is quick and the portions are large, it is just alright but enjoyable. Mi Cancun is not your ordinary Mexican chain restaurant. The atmosphere is lively, service is attentive, decor is cozy and the food is elevated. They start you off with their unlimited chips and salsa. I've had bad chips quite a few times in recent memory at Mexican restaurants, but these are enjoyable. I blink and sudden I am getting a refill. The waiters do a great job going around, making sure you are taken care of. Others push a guacamole cart as a potential appetizer. The service here is good and friendly! There are so many different options at Mi Cancun, they have a huge menu. They have the aforementioned combination platters, but you can also order grilled meats, seafoods, individual tacos and other specialties. I'm a pretty big ACP (arroz con pollo) guy and Mi Cancun puts a neat twist on theirs. Instead of old overcooked rice and overly thick cheese, their ACP is always really fresh with smaller strips of delicious and seasoned chicken, warm cheese and even spicy peppers. The peppers add good flavor and kick, also some vegetables! Every other item I've had here is pretty great as well. They are a Mexican restaurant that has a designated vegetarian section, so I've had some of those and they're good alternatives! It is not just, "let's cram as much frozen veggies into a tortilla." Their diablo shrimp are also good and they recently added beef tongue (lengua) tortas to the menu. This might be my new favorite item, the lengua is so tender and flavorful. Mi Cancun is one of the few places in the area that is busy every night, and for good reason! The food is great and you are taken care of when you're there. This Morrisville location I believe is the original, and they do a fantastic job at upholding this chain's reputation.

    Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant! Every visit is consistently amazing. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, the drinks are fantastic! (Highly recommend the jalapeño margarita!) and the service is second to none. The staff is always welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel right at home. We've been here many times and have never had a bad experience. If you're looking for incredible Mexican food, great margaritas, and outstanding customer service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend--we'll definitely keep coming back!

    Everything 10/10. Service was so good I probably got everything within 10-20 mins the food was really good especially the rice! Drink was good as well.

    Hole in the shirt

    Horrible dry cleaning service. They damaged my shirt and don't even care to do anything about it. I spend $100 to buy another shirt so they really don't care about . I am going to take the owner to small claim court to get my money back. They should not be in this business, and the customers should not even go and use their service .

    fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. had no wait, server checked on us super often and made sure we were good. and the ambience was super fun and vibrant with great music.

While it is surrounded many other options,…read moreMamacita holds its own as a place that serves delicious food and has some individual charm to it. While the food is on the pricey end, the portion sizes make up for it and the quality is there. On my first visit, I tried their Tres Amigos dish. It is basically a mix grill with shrimp, steak and chicken. It came with rice, beans, and veggies. The meats were super flavorful and the rice and beans were actually great! I hate it when a Mexican place just dumps overcooked rice and goopy beans and calls it a day. The veggies were very clearly frozen and came from a bag, wasn't all that excited by that. I think arroz con pollo (ACP) is one of the simplest, yet, most delicious Mexican dishes. It is chicken, cheese and rice, how can you mess that up? Mamacita does their ACP justice. The chicken is tender, there is a nice balance between the cheese and rice, and it is just a great combination altogether. They also do a decent job with their birria tacos (although wasn't the biggest fan of the consume) and their churrasco plate. They even top it with a legit salad, not just the chopped lettuce and tomato. In the end, I am always full and satisfied with the meal. I certainly think this is worth a visit. Oh, I forgot to mention everyone's favorite thing about the place, they have a robot server! Definitely very cute.

The staff were very attentive and hospitable. On Tuesdays, they have a Mix & Match 3 tacos deal for $11.99. You can mix both flour or corn tortilla tacos, but it doesn't include the Birria tacos. I ended up trying the shrimp tacos on flour tortilla, ribeye taco on corn, and al pastor on corn. I also tried a bite of the carne asada on flour taco from my sister. I would highly recommend the al pastor taco. It's juicy (comes with pineapple sticks) and the flavor is fantastic. The shrimp was also good but it's on the heavier side bc they add cheese. The ribeye was my least favorite and although the flavor is good, it's pretty dry without much sauce. If you want steak, I would go for the carne asada instead (they add guac) Overall, fantastic restaurant and a great deal for tacos on Tuesdays. My favorite part is the complimentary chips and salsa.

We also ordered the fajitas for two. It was HUGE and had an array of different meats - chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, and carnitas. Sadly most of the meats were overcooked and not as enjoyable to eat. La Victoria is still one of the better Mexican food spots I've had in Raleigh so far (especially as a native Texan growing up around incredible Tex-Mex). Worth a visit!

    Esmeralda Grill absolutely rocks, and it was almost a restaurant that I considered avoiding because…read moreI ordered the wrong thing. I was really one mayonnaise filled torta away from missing out on my favorite Mexican restaurant of Cary. The food is some of the freshest and most authentic in the area, and is consistently spot on. Forget heavy burritos or overly sauced enchiladas, this place is the real deal. When you come to Esmeralda Grill, you should really focus on the meat heavy dishes, whether it be via land or sea. There are so many different options to choose from, from both categories. When thinking seafood, expect the full fish. If you find yourself with the fresh grilled tilapia, you will receive a delicious whole fish that tastes as if it was caught that morning. It is such a fantastic option. I also appreciate the camarones a la diabla, or Diablo shrimp. The shrimp are plump and juicy, the spice of the dish is excites your taste buds and is a great dish. My favorite entrees are the land meat dishes though. El Trio Perfecto is my go-to order, it is grilled steak, chicken and pork all on one plate with rice, beans, salad, and tortillas. The Mexican spice rub on the meats is absolutely mouth watering, the flavors are so bold and tasty. The meats are all cooked to perfection and the portions are gigantic. You can make different tacos with the various meats, it is seriously one of my favorite Mexican dishes. I would highly recommend this! Additionally, Esmeralda Grill has so many other wonderful dishes for different flavor profiles. My grandparents are pretty particular about empanadas, but simply cannot get enough of Esmeralda's version. They also make some killer tacos, and some very affordable ones if you were to come on Tuesday! The moral of the story? Don't base your opinion of a restaurant after a single visit. You don't come across a fantastic hole in the wall every day, Esmeralda Grill is one that every Mexican food lover should know!

I usually rotate between the tacos, enchiladas, and molcajetes, and while the tacos themselves are just okay, the overall experience is solid. The fresh chips are easily some of the best I've had at a Mexican restaurant (warm and crisp). Add queso to those chips and it really seals the deal. They more than make up for the tacos being a bit underwhelming and are honestly reason enough to come back. This is a great neighborhood spot if you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and excellent chips and dips (biggest downside is no liquor aka no margaritas). Not every dish is a knockout, but the highlights keep it comfortably in 4-star territory.

The staff really get into celebrating the birthdays, and that part was really fun! However, it took close to an hour for the server to ask us for a food order - including appetizers. Service was around a 3.5, friendly but slow. We wanted to start with the dip trio, but after waiting about 55 minutes from when we sat down, we had to flag down our waitress and ask if we could put in the order. She then came back to take the regular food order, not leaving a whole lot of time between the dip coming out and our food coming out. The dip trio was OK, the queso was the best part. I'm not sure if the dip was supposed to be a cold dip or a hot dip, but it was like a lukewarm. I got the chicken and steak fajitas, which I would give a 2.5 out of five. The meat was a bit chewy. Overall I'd give the food a 3. The drinks were a bit too sugary and not well balanced--more filler than alcohol--so I'd give them a 2 (tried a sip of friends, the house marg, mango marg, and drink that comes in a little bathtub). It's a really nice spot for a party/celebration atmosphere, could be very fun for a bday, but you'll need some patience and to keep your expectations at bay for food. They also add a 3% credit card fee when using card, which I personally dislike. In general, I don't tend to patronize businesses that do that.
