Fiesta Cancun Authentic Mexican Restaurant

I could care less for this place. I had the carnitas tacos here and it was dripping in grease. I couldn’t even pick up the taco as they were falling apart because the were soaked in grease. Carnitas are suppose to be fried in its own fat but they were not fried. It had great flavor though but would not want to come back.

Just moved out here and looking for a comparable authentic Mexican cuisine and this was anything but…
They did good by renovating an old Wendy’s but the smell that comes out of the kitchen is foul and unappetizing.
I wish it was only the smell that was the issue. After living in Elgin for so long and having amazing options like ElPariso and ElFaros I needed a replacement.
I ordered a couple burritos a taco and an enchilada. I just wanted to get a good sample of their menu. The taco was just a steak taco minimal ingredients on a hard shell it was just dry and no seasoning on it at all.
The burritos were the main reason I wrote this review in the first place… What they serve is not a burrito… You might as well call it a taquito… To me a burrito of steak as the main ingredient then some cheese tomato lettuce sour cream so packed you can barley close it. This was a tortilla with 3 strips of steak with a sprinkle of cheese with some red sauce dropped on top. For $ 6!!! Made no sense to me.
As much as I wanted a solid staple of a Mexican place close to my new home. This was anything but…

My wife and I have dined here several dozen times over the past couple years. We have not experienced a single event to complain or be disappointed about. The food is always hot (temp), flavorful, and presented in a timely fashion. We don’t usually have alcoholic drinks, but when we have they have been very good. I also cannot say enough good things about the staff. They are every bit of what you expect from attentive, efficient, and pleasant people. Enjoy!

It’s sort of our barn tradition that every time we have a horse show at Ledge’s we have Friday dinner here. The food is always quite excellent and the service is friendly and accommodating, although at times a bit slow. Then again, they probably are slower in our case because there is usually 15 – 20 of us, they may very well get to tables of 3 – 4 a lot faster and we wouldn’t know because we don’t live in the area.
My one gripe would be the lack of healthy options. I ordered the taco salad once… there was some lettuce near the top but it was mostly a bowl of beef, beans and cheese. It was good, but not what comes to mind when you hear the word «salad.» The portions are always generous and the margaritas are good. The price point is also difficult to complain about.

This restaurant is trash it is the crappiest Mexican food around Roscoe every time I go there I eat a fine meal but I get a stomach ache afterwards and they need to do stuff with the lighting in there. If you want to get good authentic Mexican food go to sabrosa 10 times better. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Luis and his family run this place with love and dedication. If you have the good fortune to chat with him or his wife, the pleasure of your dining experience will more than double. The salsa is home made every day and the giant margaritas (on the rocks) are made with Luis’ own home made mix. It’s Tex Mex and probably not the same traditional dishes they’re cooking at home (unfortunately for us!), but everything is very fresh and the portions generous. The colorful painted décor is bright and welcoming. It’s a favorite of many and can get busy, but the wait staff will gladly slow down and share a smile and a chat if you’re feeling rushed. Enjoy Fiesta Cancun and this family’s labor of love.

Their chips and salsa are yummy and their big burritos and fajitas are great.chimichangas.not so much. Still a great place, you can even pick up your food which is nice.

Best Mexican we found in Rockford. Eaten (4) times now and feel qualified to leave review.
Salsa is lighter (could be more spicy) but loaded with cilantro just as we prefer. Chips are warm/​fresh tasting. Queso light and complementary to the salsa.
Pepsi products always up check for us. Modelo fans are we and if looking for adult beverage with your burrito they have the largest Modelo bottle I ever saw!
Staff wait service easily above average.
Small yes but does not «feel» crowded. Last meal was Friday night 1900 hours and waited about 1 minute to sit. Never felt pinched. Colors are bright but not gaudy and generally there is a cozy family feel to the whole place.
Food: We both tried something different each time, from Beef to Pollo and been extremely satisfied. The combo fajitas for two meal was VERY good (and good bargain) and Fiesta allowed us both corn and flour tortilla’s.The grilled chicken quesadilla looks more like an American taco but kids tore it up!
Our favorite Rockford area Mexican (by) so far.

First visit to Fiesta Cancun in Roscoe. Came in at 3:01 pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Lunch menu hours are 12 – 3 pm. The waiter let us slide and still order from the lunch menu. That was kind of him. Nice relaxing atmosphere during the lunch hour. I have seen this place pretty busy at nights, but only one other couple in there during lunch. Makes it easy to get in and out.

I’m a big horchata fan. Nothing special about the horchata from here unfortunately. Chips and Salsa are complimentary. Again, nothing special. We ordered the Chicken Fujita Burrito and and Steak Fajita Lunch Special. Both tasted like they were supposed to taste. Everything was good, not great.

Waiter was very friendly and attentive. Let us sneak by on the lunch menu hours.
Price: $
Doesn’t get any cheaper than this.

For Mexican food in Roscoe, I guess this takes the cake. It is as close to «Authentic» as you are going to get. I was really torn between 3 or 4 stars. I ultimately settled on 3 stars because it was just A-​OK, and because I probably would only come here again if I was absolutely craving Mexican food or to spite Taco Bell.

Yuk. Service was terrible. food is terrible. went to this location got the special on the board and as he was ringing me up said oh sorry that’s not a special tonight. I questioned the $ 0.25 per item additional charge for to go, and was told «you just don’t know how restaurants work we have to charge you extra!» Having worked in the industry for over 15 years in every position throughout a restaurant from a coffee shop to fast food to fine dining, I have seen it all! Never have I been charged for to go containers until I came to the Rockford area, specifically Fiesta Cancun! To tell a customer that they’re ignorant shows how little they care for their customers. Stay far away from this franchise! Poor food poor customer service! that’s all you need to know.

My husband and I like Fiesta Cancun. We eat in and do carry out. They have great service, margaritas, and food. Friendly staff. We like the chicken Cho Cho and we usually split a meal because we get enough for both of us. With chips and salsa it is plenty.

I get dinner take out from here about 2 times a month. I usually get the grande burrito and my fiancé gets the steak fajitas. We absolutely LOVE the food. You get so much food so have an appetite. It also comes with awesome salsa and chips. The white queso is amazing! The only reason for 4 stars is because the last couple of times I felt rushed when ordering and the politeness that used to be there has kinda dwindled. Also the prices somehow vary when I buy the same food from time to time. Overall I say if your in the mood for great Mexican food, this is a must!

We eat here as a family at least once a week and have never been let down. The chips and salsa are amazing and they bring it to your table before you even have time to open a menu. Over the past few years we’ve tried nearly everything on the menu and everything is delicious. Highly recommend!

I eat here all the time. Very quick service and best Mexican around! A must eat place.
I usually get the lunch fajita burrito with chicken and its the best I have ever had before. I would highly recommend this place to others.

Excellent service at lunch or dinner with consistently good food. Best Mexican food in the area

The quality and portion size is not what it used to be.

Excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Great service, very consistent quality, and incredible value. Lunch is served very quickly which makes Fiesta Cancun a much better choice than a fast food restaurant.

I eat here regularly for lunch. The service is fast and friendly, the food is hot, consistent and a good value. The lunch specials knock a dollar or so off the price and they are served with a basket of warm chips and their own recipe salsa (it is a bit too mild).
I agree the food is not authentic Mexican, but the servers certainly are!

Good Americanized Mexican food. Not authentic at all. The service is provided by an all male staff that is fast and very accommodating. A great value.

The food here is absolutely terrific. It is also a great value for the amount you receive. My one real complaint is about service.
When I have dined here with family, it’s been fine. We are treated well, and it is fast and courteous. For some reason when I eat here with my fiancé, who happens to be Hispanic, I am completely ignored by the hosts and servers as they much prefer talking to her in Spanish. This happens every time. Very uncomfortable to be ignored except when being handed the check. She also notices this and finds it disturbing. As such, we try to limit how often we eat here.
