Tried twice and both times were satisfying. The salad was fresh and shrimp was well marinated. Fajita had a variety of sides to mix with and nacho and cheese deep was delicious as well. Nice place for a cocktail and Mexican food!
So everytime we have attempted to go to Cactus, we are met with dissapointments! The wait times have either been too long or the place is full so I got the idea that they must be feeding all Tacoma inhabitants?Well today I showed up and lo and behold, not only did we get a table but the place was quite Empty to my surprise. We had the pleasure of getting a good waiter " Christine" she was friendly and helpful and kept checking up on us.We decided to see what the hype was and explore the Menu. My pallate is quite adventurous and am all about the flavors.For starters we ordered Peruvian Prawn scallop ceviche , The Austin style Guacamole and Crab tamales.The meals came pretty Quick and Let me put it this way, the pairings on the Ceviche, the layers of the various ingredients ,used was just divinely so good. ?Now am used to the traditional Guacamole but Cactus had something else planned. Their 3 layers Guacamole with Queso, salsa, Chipotle peppers was so Good!! And a must try.The Crab Tamale has to be the most creative way to serve tamale that I have seen on my foodie adventures.There was Crab, then a tamale ontop of sweet corn, sherry tomatillo cream sauce, avocado, mixed baby heirloom tomatoes, lemon vinaigrette, micro arugula. It was absolutely delish. The combination of flavors and texture was everything. We did not just have a meal but a Journey into the heart of the chef's who prepped this meals.For desert we had the Banana dulce with coconut ice cream and the manager surprised us with a complimentary Flan as well .***So overall we got great service and a wonderful meal experience *******Thank you Cactus ****
The food was amazing! My friend and i tried the stuffed chili rellano, the red crab tamale, the guacamole, and the Carnitas Yucatecas Tacos; everythingwas amazing! The staff gave really great customer service. We will definitely be returning!
Hands down the best dining experience I've had in a long time! Our waitress was fantastic and helped to make our anniversary dinner something forgettable. They have a great selection of food even for my wife who we struggle to find Gluten Free options. Their "No-sin" cocktails were amazing AND they came with free refills. The food came out quickly and was delicious! I will absolutely be going back and taking family and friends here. My only negative thing was that you should definitely go for one of the special guacamoles if you can rather than the traditional. The traditional was a little bland. But I would still get it again.
Wow. Hands down maybe the best service we’ve ever received. First off, (appetizer)-our hostess offered to clean the table available to us then went on to offer and dry it off as well. Then (the main entree)- our waitress was more than friendly and attentive to our needs. And Last but not least, (dessert)-literally, and dare I mention that it was free! Courtesy of the restaurant, because we said to our waitress that we were first-timers, I guess that msg was passed onto the manager, so he brought out our surprise and DELICIOUS dessert (flan) Yum! ? Definitely will be returning, and if that wasn’t enough, the prices weren’t unreasonable either :)) thanks again!
We came for brunch and everything we tried was fabulous. I loved the Peach Bellini Margarita drink I had and my fiance enjoyed his Moscow Mule with the housemade ginger beer! My breakfast enchiladas are one of the best dishes I've enjoyed lately, I added the chorizo and it really elevated the whole plate. My fiance had the Ancho Chicken Tacos and his was really good as well. Others at our table enjoyed the Brisket Burrita and the Chorizo Skillet Scramble. For dessert we shared the Key Lime Pie. Overall a great time, fantastic service, and the food came out quick even though they were rather busy. We will definitely be making this a regular spot for brunch!
This was an amazing restaurant the ambience in this place was breathtaking the lighting the art the service and then the food as the topping because it was certainly delightful the drinks are amazing as well I will definitely be back it was my birthday and I truly enjoyed myself.
Delicious food and drinks! The staff is wonderful and really cares about giving you a good experience. Today was our first time finally going here after living in the area for years. I ordered an enchilada which was amazing and my husband ordered a brisket burrito. Unfortunately there was hardly any brisket in the burrito so that it was pretty much just rice and beans, but my husband let the waitress know to bring it to their attention and she brought another serving of brisket (after also offering to remake the whole thing) and then the manager approached us and apologized personally. She told us she spoke to the kitchen staff, she brought us a complimentary flan which was delicious and unbelievably creamy, and when we received the check they had even taken the burrito off our bill! We really appreciate the service we received and the food is truly delicious. We will definitely be back again.
Excellent service, pleasant restaurant with a solid Mexican menu. Fresh-tasting ingredients with imaginative spicing. Loved the chips and salsa. The chicken fajitas were first class. Excellent value for money. My only complaint: the generous portions of fajitas should come with four tortillas, not three. Come on, guys!
Not worth the $. I love Mexican food and I really don't mind splurging for delicious items, but this missed the mark. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, it was very bland. And they also charge you for chips ?? Next time I'll go to El Torro
