First time here and what a pleasant surprise! I ordered the ceviche verde and the crispy tilapia taco. Both were super deliciousness, super fresh …and their ‘help yourself’ salsa bar is amazing with 6 or 7 varieties. I actually really love their chips and had way too many!! It’s a pretty large, casual restaurant with communal tables for 2 or up to 8, where you order at the counter and wait until your buzzer alerts you, pick up your order and prepare to feast! There is a nice vibe, and the food comes out relatively quick too. Definitely going back and looking forward to trying their other tacos!!

Super tasty mexican food!! I ordered an asada quesadilla and a crispy fish taco. Both came with a side of chips. The portions were way bigger than I expected so the fish taco was a meal on its own.

Absolutely love the street style tacos for the quality and price! One of my my top spots for tacos in the area. The guacamole is a little disappointing, very watery with lots of tomatoes and onions. There is plenty of indoor seating with some outdoor seating as well. A large salsa bar. Will be returning and would recommend!

Best carnitas in the bay area! Wonderful handmade corn tortillas. Lovely rotisserie chicken. Awesome salsa bar. Everything is delicious and high quality! (Although the Ceviche is super expensive and not my favorite place to get). Order accuracy sometimes problematic, but they always fix with apologies. I really love this place.

Everything was fresh and delicious! Plenty of vegetarian options, and one of the best quesadillas I’ve ever had. The strawberry agua fresca was also fantastic. A very reasonable price for a generous amount of high quality food, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I was going to take pictures to upload for this review but by the time I remembered my plate was clean. I love getting the street tacos they are very well priced. The salsa bar is also great and the casera salsa is my personal favorite. Workers are always friendly and I love being able to see the FRESH tortillas being made. You will not regret coming here it is amazing!

I want to like this place, but I’m disappointed most of the time.

Wow ! What can I say ? A lot ! I’ve been enjoying Cancun Sabor Mexicano restaurant in Berkeley California for over 22 years now ! And they still have all the same menu items that they’ve always had and more. But getting to my main point is my appreciation for their incredible I believe best taco in the Bay Area their Crispy Taco. I enjoy their Carne Asada, Carnitas and Chorizo types myself. They are not just super delicious with supreme quality but include as well a generous portion of ingredients. Finally they have excellent tortilla chips with an open salsa bar that is Fresh and homemade from mild to extremely spicy. Also if you like frescas their watermelon and strawberry flavours are sweet and can’t be beat ! I really hope Cancun stays in business in the days to come and I plan to continue to patronize their restaurant as well. Thier menu prices are a bit high but with the quality and generous portions you get, clean inside dining area and outside patio and excellent service and fine restaurant atmosphere it is totally worth it’s price as is the eating exerience as well !

Was served chemically toxic food and was not accommodated with a refund after spending the energy to bring it back. Owner was a huge jerk about it. Please refund my credit card
