Beware- this place is no longer the Mi Cancun that used to be here. Ownership has changed, and they don’t seem to know what they’re doing. Blaring mariachi music, strobe lights, 20 minute wait for drinks when there were 10 servers just hanging around the kitchen. The majority of the menu is in Spanish. Sounds authentic right? No. The food was terrible. Bland, flavorless messes in huge portions. It reminded of me of Kitchen Nightmares. I ordered ACP and the chicken was rubbery and cheese was like soft plastic. This is NOTHING near the quality of food of Mi Cancun. Every Mexican restaurant that my family has been to in Raleigh has food that is so much better than this new restaraunts. The owner seriously needs to eat at the competition and get an idea of how food is supposed to taste. There is NO reason to chose this place over anywhere else until they hire someone to redo the menu and cook food that actually tastes good. Such a huge disappointment. Hope they turn it around.
I don’t like leaving bad reviews but this is under new management and it is night and day. Wait staff ignores you or says they don’t understand. Ordered simple steak tacos and chicken tacos. Steak was over cooked and hard. Chicken was better. But when asked what came with tacos no one had any idea. Then charged for guacamole when menu clearly states it comes with. Was one of my favorite Mexican Restaurants but will not be going back any time soon
Granted it was Cinco de Maya and they were busy but we sat there for 20 minutes and finally had to try to flag l someone down. After 2 servers said just a minute we had to flag a third person. It took 20 minutes to get the worst margaritas I have ever had. They were so full of sour mix you could hardly drink them and no buzz whatsoever. Awful drinks. Food was okay. Then a mariachi band started up and they were SO loud you couldn’t talk to the person sitting right next to you without yelling. It was just too loud for an inside space. It was one of the least enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had. Sorry, not sure I could give it another chance purely based on the drinks.
I thought I was in the twilight zone. This was the most bizarre experience. 10/10 wouldn’t recommend. The music was so loud. If I was visually impaired, I would’ve thought we had entered a night club with the all the DJ remixes that were playing. 5:30 on Saturday and the place was practically empty. I wasn’t sure if anyone was even working. It took 15 minutes to find an employee to get chips and water. Ordered Margaritas and the waitress didnt know what we were talking about. The margaritas were horrible. 99% sour mix/ 1% alcohol. The quality of food and drinks were not worth the cost. $90 for 3 entrees 3 drinks. Turn around don’t drown.
The best seafood in town excellent service ? I love it
The NEW owner had no order in this restaurant. I got there and wanted a drink they said they didn’t have, then they had it, my son tea was fresh instead of sweet tea, then found out a freaking margarita was $$16.99, my food was burnt and instead they fix it they said to change my order, which didn’t freaking happen i got what i wanted, the way it should be, they did not have a kids menu, I’m all for diversity but no one understood what the F I was saying and one waiter tried really hard. The worst experience. COVID-19 SURE MESSED UP A LOT BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT DOWN 100%… never will they get money from me again.
Mi Cancun recently closed for renovations. They have opened back up in the last week or so as a NEW restaurant. The signs outside still say Mi Cancun but the restaurants ownership, name, and menu has changed. If you loved Mi Cancun like my family did then many of your menu favorites are gone and the prices have gone up. I just wanted to give people a heads up.With that being said the food that we did receive at this visit was delicious and the service was fantastic! The new leadership is taking the restaurant into a Hispanic seafood direction. The renovations are amazing but I wanted to let people know who are expecting Mi Cancun that sadly it is no longer with us.If you love seafood then this place is the place for you!
Really good margaritas. Best in North Raleigh. Food was pretty good. Not outstanding, but very reasonably priced. Service was a bit slow, but the waiter was pleasant. Will definitely come back.
Great food, good service, very little wait time for a table. Quick and easy even with kids
Tasted nasty food was greasy with no flavor steak tacos soaked from grease paid and left to go somewhere else told the waitress it was nasty and did not care waste of $40
