When the Mendez family came to the United States from the their hometown of Merida, Mexico they brought their favorite spices from the Yucatan Peninsula with them.  These spices lend a unique flavor to the authentic Mexican dishes they serve.  The Mendez family has been serving us homemade Mexican food to the public for more than 25 years.

Starting as a taqueria in Los Angeles in 1984, and then moving to Salt Lake city in 1993, where the restaurant became a sit down, family style establishement, Cancun Cafe remains family owned and operated with three genreation now working side by side.  We serve high quality, homemade Mexican cuisine at affordable prices and we never use animal fat.
