“Wow food! Great ambiance. Highly recommended. We saw this place while driving on the highway. It's heaven who loves Mexican food. Yummy platter. Prawns, olive oil, garlic and the veggies mixture added a great taste. I should talk about their ambience. Just like entering a hotel in Mexico. Great set up. Had a relaxing time after a long drive at the highway.”

“I have ordered from Cancun for a couple of years and recently the quality has decreased significantly. Taco meats are fatty and unseasoned, chips are not restaurant style, even the sides of rice/beans did not taste the same. Unfortunately this location has lost my business.”
