    Also known as "TJ's" tucked on the outer portion of Knob Noster right off Highway 50. This Mexican restaurant offers an authentic feel accompanied by your typical Mexican preset menu! They offer some of the best tasting cheese dip & some yummy quick entrees ! We have never waited more than 10 minutes for our food to arrive. The service is always friendly & prompt, not to mention the prices are spot on for any size family. Whether you're on a budget or not, TJ's has something you can afford on the menu (without breaking the bank). This is a weekly frequent of mine!

    TJ's was a stop for me on the way to Knob Knoster State Park. Very good Mexican favorites and an extensive menu. I ordered the #9 which is a couple of tacos, beans and rice. The chips and salsa are tasty too. My server kept my drinks filled and checked on me occasionally. The dining room is big with tables and booths to choose from. There is also an outdoor eating/drinking are too. A delicious stop just off of Hwy 50!

    I was in town on business and everyone at the office raved about this place so we came here for lunch. First of all, it was hard to find because of the location being on a side street not accessible from the main road, but we got there with a lot of turns...and it doesn't look like a restaurant at all from the outside of the building (old warehouse or something)... anyway, I digress... I had the burrito and tamale lunch.... and it was not what I was expecting at all. After hearing all the raves about his place, I was a little disappointed. Mind you, the menu for the dinners looked awesome, but I never came back to try them... not too thrilled after the lunch... Anyway, my beef burrito was just that, a tortilla filled with ground beef... that's it... covered with sauce and cheese on the plate. The tamale.... oh the sad tamale... lets just say that its the first tamale I've ever had that was filled with ground beef.... REALLY??!! Hamburger in a tamale??? OK... whatever. Like I said, the dinner menu looked like it had a lot of awesome stuff... I was just terribly disappointed in my lunch....

    $5.00 Margarita!! Time to eat!

    I'll start by saying I was in Warrensburg from out of state for my daughter's graduation. So, I…read moregoogled a restaurant that is close, in a safe park of town that easy to access with plenty of parking and arrived at Cancun Mexican Cuisine. Outside the place needs a little TLC but no big deal I thought. Walking in I really enjoyed the amount of décor giving it that Mexican vibe I love. Looking around the stucko, hanging hats, flags, obnoxiously colored chairs and tables are what comes to mind when I go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. However, on a 90 degree day, the restaurant was like 92 which was sort of a precursor to the experience I was about to embark on. First off the salsa was pretty bad. It had no heat which I actually prefer but it had no flavor. I literally thought it tasted like a mild marinara as if no cilantro was added rather it was poured from a can. The chips were ok but after tasting the "salsa" I was disappointed as that's usually the highlight. At least my sweet tea was pretty good. Oh the server needed something else to do as he was at the table every five minutes. As for dinner my daughter got the fajita nachos and seemed fairly unimpressed. It was mostly because the cheese was fairly bland but she did like the veggies as they looked and tasted charred. My other got the steak fajitas. While most of it was decent, the steak was TOUGH and had zero flavor. I literally had two bites and had to spit both out because I couldn't get through one bite. She did mention "wow usually it tastes a lot better." Her boyfriend seemed to echo the same point, WTH was up with the food. As for my meal, I tried the Enchiladas Bandera's. I thought it was ok. I liked having three options on one plate but I noticed all the sauces weren't very flavorful. I know being a former chef can taint my view, but most want to taste that "authentic Mexican" in every bite. I will say that the chicken and beef were cooked right and juicy and I liked the corn tortillas. I believe if the sauces had more "life" this would have been gone from an ok dish to an absolute winner. I'll say I was very pleased to have lettuce with sour cream and guac to round out a personalized tasting of each enchilada. Overall, I didn't come away with a great experience at Cancun. While the mood was perfect, the heat, and canned sauce flavors with over cooked beef threw off the whole experience. I'll admit I generally like to visit a place more than once just to be sure it wasn't a one-off experience; I don't have that luxury. My final words are if you want Mexican, consider somewhere else.

    Very fast service! There was a line but we were all seated quickly. We got the Fiesta Dinner, which…read morewe split - it is quite a bit of food. Great chips and salsa. There is room for large groups.

    We ordered chicken wings, chile colorado, and fajita nachos…read more This is just the place to get chicken wings. They are jumbo size, they are cooked to perfection and they have an amazing flavor. Really caught me off guard, I will be going here any time I have a wing craving. Also, I just love their chile colorado, for anyone who hasn't tried this dish and loves chili, give it a try; it has a touch of kick to it and the beans/rice with the chili (steak bits) is just perfect comfort food. Fajita nachos were standard tex-mex, not bad though. The service was good. The place looked clean.

It is a small restaurant (possibly a converted fast food place) that has been modified and decorated to fit the part. The bar area consists of horse saddles for bar stools which was a nice feature. The night I went there was (I believe) only one waitress who was hustling. I was seated and quickly brought chips and salsa. The salsa had a slight hint of heat and the chips were pretty good. I usually order a combo plate when at a new place. I found them near the back of a very extensive menu. Instead of picking from a list of items they gave each possible combination spelled out. I was hoping for a taco, enchilada and rellano combo but rellanos are not included in the combos. I went with a taco, 2 enchiladas and rice. Apparently these only come ground beef. I tried to get carnitas for my tacos and ended up with a side dish of tacos. In the end the food tasted good. My margarita seemed heavy on the mix and easy on the tequila. In the end this was fine for small town Mexican. I would have rated it higher had the combo portion of my dinner not been the standard ground beef.
