It is our pleasure to recommend this restaurant to every couple who, like us, has a weekly "date night". We have been frequent customers for the past two years, and can honestly express that we have never been dissappointed with the food or service. We have found Cafe Cancun to be the best Mexican restaurant in the west suburbs.
Whether we just drop into the bar area for a tasty on-tap Mexican beer or freshly made margarita at happy hour, or if we want a complete sit down meal in the dining area, the owner (Theresa) always takes the time to say hello, and typically will sit with us to talk awhile. Actually, it seems every customer is known on a first name basis.
The minute you walk in the door, you will be greeted with a friendly smile, and when you are seated, you will be served with a basket of tortilla chips and freshly prepared salsa. You can order any of the dozens of appetizers or meals from the menu, and it will be way more than you were expecting. If you want a dish that is not on the menu, don't be afraid to ask. The kitchen staff are very accomodating.
Though it may not look like it from the outside, the restaurant is quite large and spacious. There is no fear of getting bumped by other customers or of backing your chair into other tables. Every part of the restaurant is spotless, including the bathrooms. Also, parking is a breeze.
The restaurant is located across from the Batavia City Hall complex, next to the Fox River, and if you visit in the summer, consider taking an after dinner walk along the Riverwalk. It seems there is always some festival or another going on. There is even an antique car club that meets nearby on Friday's. |

I went to Cafe Cancun after work at the
urging of my friend Darren. He went on
and on about the great food and I have
to agree that the food is excellent.
But more to my taste was the warmth and
sense of family in the cantina. Over
chips and beer Darren and I spent almost
4 hours talking and laughing with Theresa our bartender. Darren tells me
that he usually eats his meals either at
the bar or a table in the cantina just
because of the good company.
Now after googling "cafe cancun batavia"
I find that chef moz already knows all
about it.
All I can do is add my voice to the choir. I'm looking forward to trying
out the weekend music. Not my usual
speed, but if today is any indication,
I'm in for a fun night. |

After a long run of so-so and so-bad
experiences trying to find a quality
Mexican Restauraunt here in West
ChicagoLand. My wife and I decided
to give "Cafe Cancun" a try.
What a Joy! Everything is made fresh
to order. Everything is authentic!
Nothing on the menu has disappointed,
and I have finally tried nearly every dish. This has taken me over 20 visits
and I've had the fortune of being able
to sample my wife's selections or else
it would take another 20.
Even in California, where I lived 5 years ago, I am unable to find food
as good.
My rule of thumb for judging Mexican
restaurants is the quality and quantity
of seafood on the menu. This is why I
tried the restaurant in the first place.
"A place named 'Cafe Cancun' had better
have good seafood," I said. They were
even better than I hoped!
They make a shrimp burrito which beats
the best I can find in Santa Cruz. Not
only that, but it is bigger and cheaper
too!
Every time I order a dish it is 50%
bigger than I expected. But it is so
good that I always clean my plate.
The lunch menu is my special favorite.
For less than $8 I always leave over-full and over-happy.
Friday and Saturday Nights the Cafe has
live music. A guitar playing and singing trubador who wanders from table
to table. My 2 year old daughter had
the best time of her life listening and
clapping to Malegena, "Oje Como Va!",
and "Light My Fire" just to name a few.
After 9 O'Clock on Friday and Saturday
the Troubador retires and a disk-jockey
takes over for a salsa dance party! I,
usually, have a hard time convincing my
wife to dance. She is usually to timid.
Here the fiesta is infectious!
I applaud this restaurant for serving
the best food, ambiance and overall
experience in all of Chicago. |
