“The best Mexican food in Blenheim, hands down.”
Real reviews from real diners — birthdays, travellers passing through, gluten-free regulars and takeaway locals.
“Went for my mums 50th and my sons 1st birthday lunch here today and we were completely blown away. The food was amazing, the service was even better. They even brought out surprise birthday ice cream and put on the 'happy birthday' song. A big thank you to all the staff, you made it a special day for us all.”

Birthday celebration
“As an American traveling through Blenheim, Cancun Eats hit the spot for my Mexican food craving. The original margarita was simple and the perfect tartness. And the beef chimichanga was the best I've ever had and I've had them at many places. Great service to top it off.”

American traveller
“Me and my wife had lunch here and we both enjoyed the flavours. We would rate the food here highly… The food is well balanced and palatable, presented beautifully and portion size is just right. The staff is friendly and gave samples to try before ordering. The atmosphere has an amazing Mexican vibe. And the food is very reasonably priced.”

Lunch for two
“First time dining at Cancun Eats tonight, and we all agreed the best Mexican food in Blenheim hands down… my absolute favorite was the fish taco… Everyone enjoyed their tacos and chimichangas… If by the end of your meal you feel like a sweet treat, try the churros… or my ultimate fav Banana Chimichanga with the most delightful caramel sauce and icecream… If you're in Blenheim, definitely dine at Cancun Eats.”
