"Best Margaritas in Town"

About Us

At Cancun Mexican Grill & Bar, we believe great food brings people together—and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing in Cedar Rapids since 2013. With over 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry, our family-owned and brother-run business is built on a foundation of passion, tradition, and daily hands-on dedication. Both owners are actively involved in the day-to-day operations, ensuring every guest receives the warm hospitality and fresh flavors we’re known for.

We specialize in made-to-order Mexican cuisine, crafted with quality ingredients and bold, authentic flavors. From our savory seafood dishes to our sizzling fajitas and street-style tacos, every plate is prepared with care and served with pride. Our bar is a local favorite, especially for our signature margaritas—including seasonal varieties like pumpkin, watermelon, and kiwi—that offer something refreshing and unique all year long.

Looking for something special? Join us every Thursday for Birria Tacos, and don’t miss our Sunday specials that keep our menu exciting and our guests coming back for more. Planning a party or event? Ask us about our customizable Taco and Fajita Bars, perfect for gatherings of any size.

Cancun has a good burrito called the Mexicano; it was delicious! Loaded with guacamole and lots of beef tips. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Chips were authentic and flavorful. They make the most of an older building by the interstate. Lots of colored lights on the exterior.
