First I want to say I went here for the Saturday Nacho Experience and I was not Disapointed. Secondly for the prices it was very reasonable. The Trash Can Nachos are Glorious and Everything anyone would want. The ice was busy with family's, friends, and couples. I would say this is the best go to Mexican resteraunt in Alaska. I had a relative visit. They chose the shredded beef enchiladas. They stated they were the best also. So I will make this my new go to place to take visitors and friends. Thank you for the amazing food and great experience.

My friend has been raving about Tacos Cancun for months. I finally joined him for a meal. When we arrived, the line was out the door on a Saturday evening. No one complained. The food must be worth it. So many choices. It was hard to settle on one. I knew I wasn't going to have room for dessert based on the sizes of the plates coming out of the kitchen. My friend got the beef burrito plate with horchata. I got the beef enchilada plate with a strawberry margarita. The food came out fast - less than 10 minutes after ordering. I was surprised considering how busy it was with diners and takeout orders. Lots of seating. Great lighting. The bussers were doing a great job of quickly cleaning up tables and wiping everything down after people left. I thought it was cool that some kids came in for a meal with their fancy clothes before prom. And even though it was an order and sit down restaurant at still got complimentary nachos. The food was delicious. I've never found beans to be great. I'll eat them but never rave about them. These beans with cheese were filling. The rice was nice and fluffy. I got so stuffed that I barely made a dent in my enchilada. But I was excited to have leftovers for the next two meals. The drinks were very good too. I'm picky about margaritas since I know what great ones taste like when I lived in New Mexico. These were pretty good. I didn't order the "rub a dub tub" margarita but it looked interesting if you and a friend are thirsty. The staff from the cashier, the food runners, the cooks, and bussers were all top notch. It was a well oiled machine. Great job! Highly recommend this restaurant in Wasilla. You will have leftovers.

We absolutely love Tacos Cancun—it’s a true gem in our community and a family favorite! We recently enjoyed the taquitos, shrimp tacos, and the Birria burrito, and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff was kind and welcoming, and a special shoutout goes to Ryan, who made our visit extra special with his friendly service and attention to detail!

This is the best mexican food restaurant in Alaska. Hands down the service and food is excellent. I always enjoy whether I'm by myself or buying for my group. You must go visit.

What a great place! We were on our way through and stopped on a whim and were thrilled with the results. Where to start? The food was the best Mexican food we've had in a long time. We both ordered taco salads and they were huge! The meat, peppers, and onions were perfectly grilled and the romaine lettuce added a nice touch. The avocados were fresh-lots of them--and it all came quickly and was hot enough that the cheese was melted on top nicely. They serve a bowl of chips with the meal and though it's a deli-style ordering service (which I actually like) the service was great. Lots of people and they kept things clean (even the bathrooms) and quick. It was also a good deal for the price I also liked the salsa bar, it's always nice to be able to choose your condiments in life! We're planning on stopping when we come back through to try the sopapillas, which looked amazing.

It was my first time coming in, the lady working the register was very helpful and kind and we had ordered and were seated within 5 minutes of being in the door! We got chips, and by the time we got back from the salsa bar they were bringing out the food we ordered! Our server Danny was super nice and recommended some items to try next time we come back, which she ensured we will! All around great food, lightning fast service and a great atmosphere and selection!

We love this place! The food was very fresh and the doctors were delicious. They had a very large menu and a whole bunch of different kinds of dessert as well. We will definitely come back if we’re ever in Alaska. It seems that this is the only location, but I would expect them to expand in the future with their food being so good.
