Cancun Grill
The menu is so inviting and extensive at Cancun Grill that it's hard to decide what to order.

Then go on to enchiladas with meat and chili sauce or chicken and chipotle cream or try a chimichanga with skirt steak.
Other popular dishes include flautas with shredded beef or chicken and interesting quesadillas--think mushroom, or spinach and chicken. That's not even mentioning the fajitas with pork loin, shrimp or skirt steak or the other entrees such as chicken mole, garlic shrimp and mahi-mahi tacos. In 2009, enchilada platters were about $10; fish and meat entrees cost up to $18.
