We’re visiting South Carolina and decided to stop in here for lunch. We all really enjoyed it. Food was good and the staff were friendly. Got the Enchiladas Cancun and Taco Loco lunch specials

It was my first time eating here. I had the “chicken taco loco” for lunch. It was huge and tasty. The taco was a crispy shell with a very generous amount of shredded chicken topped with lettuce tomatoes queso fresco. I did my best but it was so plentiful I couldn’t finish it. They start you with tasty warm chips and a delicious salsa.

Honestly the best Mexican food i’ve had in town. Very authentic and quite a step above any chain claiming to offer something similar. The atmosphere perfectly accentuates the splendid food and the prices are very reasonable.

The food was really delicious. The staffs are really friendly and explaining the dishes really good. We loved the good and i am sure will recommend this to my friends. I must say, it was an absolute delight! The ambiance was cozy, the service was impeccable, and the food was simply divine. I particularly loved the creative dishes and the attention to detail in every aspect of the meal. Can't wait to come back for another unforgettable dining experience!

Roberto came as soon as I was seated. The food was excellent. The carne asada was perfectly spiced and cooked. Reminded me of a place I used to eat on Olympic Boulevard in LA. Very satisfied with the portions and price. Too bad I don’t drink because a Dos Equis would have been perfect with my dish. Definitely going back!

We tried El Cancun on Cherry Road for the first time and it was excellent! We were immediately greeted when we walked through the door and we asked to sit outside on the patio! When you sit down they give you chips and salsa before you order which was nice. The waitress we had was very timely and did such a great job, everything we asked she either got for us or answered for us! The food was soo good! We ordered 3 chicken tacos and a fajita quesadilla, and our group ordered two amigos, ACP, and Chimichonga's and EVERYONE said their food was excellent! Probably the best Mexican food we've had in Rock Hill thus far and Highly recommend trying then out if you haven't yet!
