So tasty and omg out of this world. The veggies that came with my fajita was juicy fresh. The salsa was good and decent not too spicy at all for me. My baby and I enjoyed their food for our first time here and will be back for more. My mouth is still watering a day after just typing and no I am not hyping this place up. They are built like that. This review was back in 2022. Now here it’s 2024: the service was attentive. The server was decent. For lack of better words they have really lost their touch for food. They used to have way better ingredients in their food and even better salsa and now it’s like someone threw up in. Crushed and very watery. No words can explain for how disappointed I am. What a disappoint.

Last time I visited Cactus Cantina was 15 years ago and I had very good memories. Today we went for lunch. I had Laredo combination platter which included chicken and beef enchiladas and a crispy chicken taco. I asked for sour cream, which comes for additional fee. The enchiladas were bland and so soggy that the crispy taco was not crispy even when it came to me. All the fillings were bland and tasted the same. Waiters forgot my sour cream which came after I had eaten half of the plate. My husband ordered chimichanga which came with equally soggy filling. On the side came beans with a lot of liquid. If you don’t take into account the food, the place was the same great space with colour and good ambiance. Unfortunately however, you go to restaurants to eat and expect to get tasty food.

Great place for family's & friends. Friendly & helpful staff/servers. The food menu is huge with lots of typical mexican options and dishes. Could be a little smaller, though, to not get confused while choosing what to eat. Had mixed grill Fahitas, which were tasty, but could have more Mexican spices & aromas. The portion size is more than enough to get full. Complementary Tortilla Chips with and outstanding Salsa where super good. Margherita super tasty. Overall a 5 start experience.

Incredible atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, quick service times, and one heck of a selection of tequilas. 10/10 recommend.

If you want a margarita made from a mix that tastes like gasoline, this is the place for you.

We gathered 15 out of town families for Georgetown University parents weekend. Cactus Cantina was AMAZING! The food and drinks were delicious. The service friendly and upbeat! They let us hang school banners and put together a fajita bar with fresh hot beef, chicken and shrimp!!!! Everyone left wanting to come back!!!!!!!! Thank you Cactus
