El Cancun: Reviews & Ratings
Wow we were visiting Pahrump & went to a little farmers market on Saturday morn, we passed this MX restaurant & we wanted menudo, so we pulled in! It's very clean & we were greeted very kindly! The portions are perfect & the flavors reminded me of my childhood! They have kareoke on Friday nights! We will return for another delicious meal, on our next road trip here! Finding hidden delicious gems in my own state!
Good food good prices good service plenty of parking hot outside 70 degrees inside very clean
Food was good, service was good, could have done without the fly around my head the whole meal and the screaming child throughout the dining room and kitchen made me annoyed, they close early but have a karaoke bar set up...not certain I will be back but i filled my belly....
Had a fantastic dinner here! Ordered the chicken chimichanga combo plate and I loved it. The service was excellent, they were super generous with the chips refills and our drinks were always topped off! If you like your chips lite and crispy, you will love this place- really fresh salsa as well.
