Cancun Mexican & Seafood in Encinitas's Leucadia district has served scratch-made seafood plates and traditional Mexican cuisine on North Coast Highway 101 since 2010. The kitchen preps salsas, guacamole, rice, and beans multiple times per shift from raw ingredients, a batch-frequency practice uncommon among counter-service operations on the same Leucadia corridor as Biergarden Encinitas. Seafood dominates the menu with Camarones Costa Azul featuring deep-fried shrimp wrapped in bacon under melted cheese, Camarones a la Diabla sauteed in a dried-chile red sauce, and the Siete Mares soup combining seven types of shellfish and fin fish in a tomato-guajillo broth. That mariscos-forward identity sets the restaurant apart from Leucadia's taco-and-burrito shops and closer to the raw-seafood side of the Encinitas dining spectrum anchored by Sushi Bar Blue Fin on South Coast Highway 101. The seafood program centers on prime Mexican shrimp prepared four distinct ways -- empanizado in seasoned breadcrumb, al mojo de ajo in garlic-butter reduction, a la diabla in dried-chile red sauce, and Costa Azul wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon under melted cheese.
