Diners rave about the "best margs in town" and recommend the queso fundido. While some dishes received mixed reviews, the barbacoa tacos and "excellent food and service" earn high marks.

As a server myself at Cactus I was actually really disappointed and felt leaving disrespected and looked down upon. Wouldn't recommend unless you're going on a busy night or sitting at the bar.

Had Baja (fish) tacos (very good if too much mayo) and the Asada meat tacos. The meat was left over from previous day…dry and hard. The tater tots were very good. Had brunch a month ago and was much better. Will go back but probably won’t have the Asada tacos.
