    Cancun’s in Red Oak is my go-to spot. The catfish dinner? Forget about it—crispy, seasoned just right, and I swear it vanishes off my plate faster every time. The people here are what really seal the deal though. They’re always friendly, always on top of things, and they make you feel welcome the second you walk in. At this point, I’m basically on a first-name basis with my catfish. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.

    1st time and had the catfish. Excellent choice and plan to return. Honestly based on peeking into others plates, I plan to try more next time.

    Ordered thru doordash pick up : beef nachos w/ beans add avocado slices and a slice of chocolate pie. Food tasted Ok, would have liked a bit more seasoning. I did not receive the avocado slices nor the chocolate pie. Instead, coconut pie. A large drink, 32 ounce $4+!

    My job took me to Red Oak this past week and multiple people told me I had to check this place out, and am I glad I listened. I was able to walk in and be seated immediately, and the waiter was very welcoming and helpful. They started me off with chips and salsa, which were good, but I was told I needed to get their burger! I got the double Cheeseburger with tots, and this thing was massive. Nice thick patties, and a great flavor, and the tots were nice and crispy. I usually don't have an issue finishing off my plate, but even i had to tap out about half way through my burger. If I'm in the area again, know I will be coming back here!

    This is a wonderful place to have breakfast lunch or dinner. Here you can taste the homemade cooking, whether you're in a mood of some homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast or if during lunch you want some beef fajita nachos or if you're just in the mood for a chef salad for dinner cancuns has that for you. I highly recommend they chicken fried steak meal and their breakfast specials. The place looks great there is a beautiful inspirational mural in the on the main dining room and an other mural at the private party room. The staff is great the service is fast this is a great spot to become a regular at. We continue to love cancuns red oak, great food and amazing service.
