Mi Cancun Mexican Restaurant

Mi Cancun in Morrisville did not begin as my first choice. In fact, my final conscious thought before arrival was “Anywhere but Ajuma.” I had my heart set on a Mediterranean or H Mart food court adventure, but democracy, fickle as it is, failed me. A tie breaking coin flip sealed my fate, and I found myself stepping into the brightly colored, Mexican beach themed interior of Mi Cancun.

I wasn’t entirely unfamiliar. I’ve had the tacos at one of their Cary locations before. They were good and satisfying, but at the time they lacked the char and streetwise authenticity of the food truck tacos I often graze upon while loitering in gas station parking lots. Expectations, therefore, were measured.

To my pleasant surprise, there was no wait. Our party of twelve was seated promptly, an impressive feat for a busy Sunday lunchtime at such a popular spot. Iced water with lemon arrived quickly, and service continued to distinguish itself in thoughtful ways. Most notably, the staff graciously honored a friend’s customs by serving him warm water, an accommodation rarely offered at a Mexican restaurant. It was a small gesture, but one that spoke volumes about attentiveness and respect.

I briefly flirted with the idea of a 3.99 Sunday house margarita, but a combination of post church restraint and one dining companion’s previous night overindulgence thwarted my plans. Still, I drank with my eyes, gazing longingly at the machines behind the bar, churning luminous green and gold margaritas, promising a perfectly oxygenated blend of lime and agave bliss.

The menu at Mi Cancun is expansive, offering everything from tacos and burritos to fajitas, rice dishes, and an array of tempting sides. Acting on the recommendation of a particularly delightful and knowledgeable dining companion, I ordered the ACP, and I’m glad I did. The grilled chicken breast was cooked just right, juicy and well seasoned, far from dry. The rice leaned slightly salty, but paired with warm flour tortillas, the balance worked beautifully.

Another standout was the chips and salsa. Endless, generous, and thoughtfully executed with individual bowls of red salsa for each diner, allowing full customization and guilt free double dipping. I was already approaching fullness before the entrée even arrived, which is never a bad problem to have.

If there is one area for improvement, it would be the men’s restroom. One stall door refused to close completely, requiring one of my dining companions to stand guard like a vigilant sentinel gazelle at a watering hole, ever alert to approaching danger. Not ideal, but memorable nonetheless.

In the end, Mi Cancun delivers a solid, reliable dining experience. The lunch menu offers real value, around 11 dollars and some change with tax before tip, the flavors are satisfying, and the service is thoughtful. I would absolutely return, especially to finally indulge in those margaritas I was forced to admire from afar.

Mi Cancun may not have been my original destination, but it proved itself a worthy one.

Such a fun restaurant with delicious margaritas, friendly and attentive staff, and great food! Probably our favorite restaurant in Holly Springs! When you sit down you immediately get chips, salsa, and water - the margaritas are large and amazing! The chicken enchiladas are fantastic!

The last time we went, 4 waiters checked if we wanted more chips! We thought that was very sweet 😊

Enchiladas Suiza. Delicious. The shredded chicken was great. You have your choice of sides. It only had a hint of spice but very well prepared.

Food is okay, but not great. Fajitas’s steak is not fully cut. Tortillas are stacked together and hard to separate. Servers look unhappy. Service is below average. Google 4.4 is overrated.

Great Mexican

Music is not music that enhances a gustatory experience. It is loud Latin hip hop, exclusively. The server was not fluent in english which made ordering or explaining any problems difficult. Our food took a long time and when it did come, it was ice cold. It was supposed to be off a hot grill. When we tried to explain the issue, it was necessary to wait another 5 minutes before a manager could come over. They took back the entire to reheat it and then failed to return it with the beans, etc that they also took back to the kitchen. They made no offer to compensate us for our wait or inconvenience. Then the fragrance of Fabulosa cleaner almost made us have to leave. It seemed to be pumped out . It was dinner time. We won’t be giving it another chance.

On Eid better Mexican places around. Do not get take out. Portion sucks compared to sitting down inside. $15 gets you 1/4 cup of rice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to Mi Cancún for years, and it’s still the best Mexican restaurant in Morrisville! The food is always consistent — delicious, fresh, and served quickly after ordering. But what truly makes them stand out is their outstanding customer service. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back: the friendly staff, the warm atmosphere, and the genuine care they show make Mi Cancún a special place. Highly recommend! 🌮🇲🇽

I love Mexican food. I have been here before but this time was different. When being seated, the floor was sticky. Yes maybe the cleaning solution wasn't diluted correctly, idk. Sat down and was putting my bag down and saw a baby bug on the wall moving to the table behind us. Against my better judgment, I didn't leave. It was late on a Sunday and mostly everything was closed. Order our food, what I ate was good but in the back of my mind I was uneasy. When my son got a refill he did not remove his straw and it came back with gunk. It was over. Probably won't go back which is sad cause it's pretty good.

Ordered twice from this store, first time the order took too long. Second time it had meat but I ordered veggies. Would not recommend this place again.
