I was really disappointed with my experience here. I have walked past this place a few times, so I wanted to try it. The service was not great. The waitress took our order, but we did not see her again after that until I tracked someone else down to get my tab. I told her we had one more person joining us, but when she sat down the waitress did not even look at her. I ordered a margarita and it was horrible. I had nachos for my entree and they were okay. It just was a disappointing experience for me.
Food was very good! Best chips and salsa I’ve had in a long time. Nice, clean and spacious restaurant. We ate outside with our dog. Our party of 7 was stuffed! Very large portions. We ordered the trio of dips for an appetizer. I’d recommend sticking to the queso instead. Burritos and tacos came out quickly and all meals were served together. Very friendly service.
Great place to eat downtown!! Chips and salsa were yummy! I love the thin chips. The staff was great and frequently came by to ask if we needed anything. The food comes out like super quick!! If you want to chit chat and have drinks, hold that order!! Our food came out within 5min of ordering so we didn't get to enjoy out chips/salsa/queso! We didn't have to wait for a place to sit. They have an arcade type games, so be prepared if you have kids and now want to play! This place has outdoor seating to people watch...great drink selection and lots of food to figure out!
We had a wonderful time at Cactus Cantina. We walked in and was seated immediately. Now it was a nice crowd it's also ample seating. Now ita a typical Mexican menu but presentation , combination of flavors and taste is very unique. The atmosphere was family oriented with huge video games and flat screen surround the place. You can dine alone or have a banquet there everyone will.enjoy. I most definitely will be attending this restaurant again when I go back to Pensacola. I will give a 7 out of 10 only because I dint try the bar and one of our orders was delivered late to the table.
Thr environment is very nice as well as the servers there. I ordered the fajitas and other than some of the bottom parts being burnt, everything was great! They get the food out to you very quickly and they don't rush you to eat! I would definitly recommend going here.
Food was done very well. After we ordered, it came out super fast! We were actually amazed lol. I can definitely say that was the best thing about this place. Literally came out in like 5 minutes max!. The waitress was very kind a professional. Will definitely go again.
I thought I might get an authentic Mexican taste from this place but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with my take out order which included carne Asada tacos, a burrito and a side of beans and rice.To be honest, everything simply tasted like salt. There was no flavor other than overwhelming saltiness that led to incredible thirst. The steak tacos looked much more appealing than they tasted.
This restaurant has great tables in the air conditioning by the windows allowing you but view the ambiance of Downtown Pensacola Palafox St. But it would have been nice to experience this. Servers would not allow us to sit there. 3-3:30pm. Not many customers but at least 3 servers standing around. Their excuse was there were no servers for these tables. We walked out. Disappointed with their attitude.
Not the best Mexican in Pensacola but its pretty darn good. They have multiple locations, Ive only visited the downtown Pensacola one. Ive been here a few times for lunch and dinner. All times the staff was nice, friendly and offered excellent suggestions. Ive enjoyed every meal and drink here. Friendly, fun environment if you want a meal for by yourself, date or a group of friends. They also have a basketball and other arcade games to play. Cant forget the cactus grits, they are yummy! Definately give the grits a try, they will pleasantly surprise you.
The service is slow, I'm sending it at the bar obviously so there's a barn but this didn't realize that it's hot and on the coast and at 7:00 you need more than one dude back then he's running circles but still you got Got ppl not getting their next drink quick enough or not getting to order.... However they were faster bringing out my food then I fasted restaurant, and it's amazing
