Best Fajitas I have ever had. Sometimes you have to wait or can't get a table but thats just the way it is with this family run authentic Mexican restaurant. They put out such good food it's so worth it. Go early or be patient. They are awesome!!!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The owner is the kindest person. The food is absolutely amazing and everything we order melts in our mouths. It's super kid friendly as well. Highly recommend, but hesitate to share as it's our favorite family night out.

I ate here for the first time a couple of days ago, and I was pleasantly surprised. I was on my own for the night, so I didn't get much - just the basic ground beef taco combination with beans and rice, some chips & salsa with a side of guacamole. Everything was delicious. I love good homemade tortilla chips and these were perfect! Every single part of the meal was very well seasoned. A tiny bit spicy for me, but I'm kind of a spice wimp Anyway, I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who has not yet tried it.

Food is delicious! Margaritas are the best around. A quaint little stop that will leave you very satisfied. Best Mexican food in Lynden.

Cancun has the best small town atmosphere and makes the best Margaritas in Whatcom County!! We recently traveled to Cabo and had Chicken Mole at a resort. The chicken Mole here at our local Cancun was hands down better! Oh and the fresh raspberry Margaritas in the summertime...the very best!

I'm very picky when it comes to good Mexican food. I never eat this kind of food when I go out because it always tastes like it came from frozen or reheated. This is by far the best Mexican food I've had. Not only was the food fresh but it was cooked perfectly and had tons of flavor. The fajitas were the best I've ever eaten. The sauce they used was incredible. My wife and I both had margaritas but look out they are huge and we should have shared one. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I will definitely be going back.
