Went to have dinner with a friend while visiting her. The food was absolutely delicious, and presented well. Staff was very friendly and food was timely. Additionally, the atmosphere contributed to our positive experience.

Good experience, was meeting with a friends and the patio outside was not crowded and the service was fast. Recommend going for Happy Hour as everything is a little pricier than I would have liked but it was all very good. The house pink margarita was delicious and the local beer selection was comprehensive. Little too much spice in the Michelada but overall enjoyable time.

10/10 experience. Went yesterday and sat at the bar. Laura the bartender was so sweet and gave me great recommendations for food and drinks. Tried the birria tacos and they did not disappoint. She also recommended the Cadillac margarita and let me tell you it was a match made in heaven.

Great first experience, came in for my reservation at 7:30 and they had the table set up for my bachelorette party. Waitress was really nice and checked in on us constantly to make sure we were taken care off the entire night. The drinks were out of this world, not overly sweet. Now the food was perfect, the appetizer trio was so delicious, and all of the dishes looked and tasted amazing. Highly recommend it

My husband and I had a great experience eating at Pink Cactus while on vacation. The chips trio and tacos were fantastic. The owner was very kind and even gave us some complimentary drinks. Would recommend and would definitely go back. Only suggestion is to provide soft drink options other than just Mexican Coke.

We saw this recommendation at a shop not too far away. We planned to go for pre-dinner libations, but ended up staying for dinner! Everything was delicious! Loved the intimate and quaint atmosphere.

Really enjoyed this authentic food. Everything was great. I’d recommend the guacamole and blue tostado chips. Must visit again.

This was our first dinner stop on our trip because it was the closest place to our rental. The dinner was delicous and the chips were fresh. The sauces and dips were perfect. Our tacos were amazing. Highly recommended.

Delicious tacos. They were a little on the spicy side, which is fine by me but I know not everyone in the south has a great spice tolerance. More on the traditional street vendor side of the taco style vs a taco bell taco, so hopefully that is what you want. Good margaritas as well.

Had dinner at Pink Cactus with a few friends (we are CHS locals). None of us will go back. Everything was hot/spicy (even the rice) and didn’t have a flavor other than just a hot/spicy. There was no balance in flavor. They also do not tell you that everything comes very hot (not in terms of temperature but in terms of the spiciness). Also, a friend wanted a dish without beans and she was told “no changes can be made.” She wasn’t wasn't asking for any substitution she just asked for no beans in her rice bowl. You would think it would be pretty easy to not add beans to it because it does not come pre-made. There was one server for the entire restaurant inside and out. We felt bad for him but it also impacted the experience. The parking situation in the back parking lot is pretty abysmal and it’s extremely difficult to maneuver out of the parking lot because people on the side street park half on the sidewalk and half in the road and it’s only a small one lane road. If you’re looking for good Mexican food, skip this place.
