Reviews of Cactus Cantina & Grill
Ronnie Shepherd
Mi amor and I have not experienced to many places we would come back to. Very friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere with a twist of the vibe that hints a night on the town. Food was an amazing delight melt in your mouth with the most tasty blend of flavors. We couldn't be more pleased to come here and enjoy our day. We will definitely be coming back.
Austin Bliss
Small restaurant on south side of wichita looks like a lil whole in the wall but clean and it has looks of a restaurant vibe. Inside was nice and had that authentic Mexican vibe and decor. Service was fast and friendly. Had the actual owner wait and serve us which was nice. Suoer friendly and can tell he takes pride in what he does and how he treats others. It was just a lil lunch date for the wife and I while we shop for our Halloween costumes. The wife ended up choosing chicken chimichanga with a side salad and we both shared some chili con queso for an app. I ordered a cactus style carne asada burrito. Hands down best burrito I've had in awhile steak was juicy seasoned perfectly the flavors of everything and the sauce and cheese just flowed perfectly. We will be back for sure.
L.E. Ferrell
This place was delicious!! We showed up right as they opened & got excellent service with delicious food. The fajitas & enchiladas where very fresh & fulfilling. We will definitely be back!
Matt C
It’s been a year since I’ve moved from Texas to Wichita, I’ve finally found the most authentic Mexican food in town. Hands down, the best margarita in Wichita.
Christopher Clark
Daniel is so nice and the food is terrific. I love family owned restaurant and this one is a keeper. The margaritas are outstanding and Daniel keeps them flowing. I love the carnitas, enchilada combo with beef chicken cheese and green chili (its red) over the top!. The chimney is great with pork cheese sauce but try it with green chili over the top.
Cole Falconburg
Very clean well organized place. Service was great and food was phenomenal. First time here and haven't really dug deep in the menu yet but will definitely be back!
Todd Wilson
Incredible food. Fajitas flaming on the plate. The combination plate was incredible! Queso was 👌 Daniel is the best. Wish I lived here, I would be here often! 2500 miles through CO, NM, AZ and TX in the last 5 days eating Mexican all along the way, and this is the best mix of flavor. Not the hottest, I loke thay too, but good mix of heat and flavor. Excellent work 👏 Margaritas...wow.
Sheila Walden-Roach
Food was fantastic and Margaritas were the best.
Service not so much, we were a Birthday party of 8 and we were there 45 minutes before we got menus. One of our party actually had to go up and tell them we needed at least water and menus.
Alondra Cummings
Best margaritas in town. And the food is just as good!! Daniel is amazing and makes you feel like family every time!
Kyle Henning
Absolutely delicious! I had the pork carnitas burrito. It was full of meat and again delicious! Great service as well!!!
dwayne gleim
The food was very good and quick. The flavors are unique and tasty.Margaritas were awesome as well as the service. We will be back more often
Mark Kash
I am giving this a three because the food is absolutely delicious, however when it came time to pay the bill, Saturday, July 16th, I asked for the bill and then I asked if they had a military discount (which I have received multiple times eating here.) The gentleman who took my payment said they had one, but there was no one there to authorize the discount. I said okay and made the payment. I wouldn't even be making this post if the gentleman in question hadn't been the owner of the restaurant. I knew who he was, I've spoken with him many times...and his face is on the door. If you don't want to give the discount, just say so, but to lie to my face just rubbed me the wrong way. And so despite how good the food is, I don't plan on ever going back after the way the owner looked me in the eye and lied to my face.
Chad Follmer
If you want great Mexican food this is your spot. The service and food was outstanding. The atmosphere was awsome. Cheese dip was very good as well. We will be back
Amy Marsalis
The only reason they get a 3 star rating from me is because, I went in for lunch by myself and was great with its just you? It Made me feel a little embarrassed. That and I didn't care for the chips being cold instead of hot. Other then that it was fast and delicious I got the beef chimichonga and would order again. Just dnt greet people with its just you? Kinda rude to me.
Jeff Mitchell
Great service! Place is clean and I mean spotless, service was fast and super polite.
Food was pretty good!!! Try it you'll like it!
spencer allen
The food is authentic and so good it makes want to be a better person.
Side note: Margaritas are fire
Kevin Langenwalter
The food was pretty good, but we went on a busy (and very noisy) evening to try it out. The margaritas are supposedly very good (practically everyone was drinking them). I'd try it again, but next time I'll try a slower night (and will try a margarita).
Edward Lindeman
Incredible place! I had what were some of the best chile rellenos I've ever had, and dare you to find better. Add one of their special margaritas...I said one!
Dalton Gullic
Absolutely blew my mind! All the food was PERFECT and the service was quick and friendly! Their Margarita was hands down the best I've ever had. Definitely coming back.
David Ford
Great margaritas 🍹 and fajitas. Someone bought my dinner so $$?
Melissa Gorence
I really really really want to give you 5 stars. I don't want to post negative about your restaurant bc the food was tasty. Just could use some minor improvements. I only eat out local so I had to give you a try and so should everyone else. Reach out to me if you would like my comments. Otherwise, good job and any Wichita local should drop in.
JERRY MOODY
The owner (Dan) is fantastic. Everything is made from scratch and authentic.
Easily among the best Mexican cuisine in Wichita, especially for the prices and atmosphere.
Service and conversation is second to none and you'll never have a bad time.
I definitely recommend frequenting here.
Rita Jillson
Yummy, drinks, food and salsa. Service was great we will be going back with family for sure.
Mary Wendler
Had a wonderful supper of queso(amazing flavor and smooth), chips, taquitos, queso and chicken and Monterey's. The owner came and talked with us several times, who is totally delightful. Good food, quiet music, great margaritas and an ambience conducive to conversation and laughter. We will definitely be returning!!
Christopher Stafford
Daniel is always in such a great mood and makes every visit like you are family to them
Rick Hardwick
Great place to eat with your favorite beverage. Service was fantastic.
ozzycody
AMAZING! Seriously a hidden gem in Wichita! Daniel, the owner, is a joy to be around. The staff are all wonderful. The food is off the chart delicious and the atmosphere is very comfortable and fun. Margaritas are awesome! Don't pass on Cactus Cantina!
Amanda Lamm
Boyfriend and I went here for dinner earlier this evening and the service & food were top notch! Food came out quickly and was fresh. Cooked to perfection. We wrapped up dinner with a piece of Tres Leches cake and were not disappointed. Will be back <3
Dena
This is a great place for Mexican food! The owner and staff are always super nice and attentive. The food is delicious. We enjoy the fried flour tacos and the queso!
Mark Butts
The food and service were awesome. The margaritas were on point and refreshing.The atmosphere was really nice and the staff was quick and there when you needed something. Had a great time with a table of 10 they served us everything and everyone left full and happy. Stop in you will love it
Barb
There was 7 of us and the only server/bartender was great! The food was great and you get a large portion. I would definitely go back!
Dave Scott
The Cactus Cantina has very good food! The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. You really must try the con queso. It is the real deal and the chips are freshly made in the restaurant. Everyone in my party of 4 had different dishes and they were all excellent! The servers are very personable and attentive. No doubt this place has Good Eats!
Mia Maupin
Great food and drinks. I had an amazing experience and the staff was friendly. Much more authentic than many Mexican restaurants although they do mostly use flour tortillas so be aware if you prefer corn!
Candie Smith
What a great spot! Delicious, authentic Mexican food with fantastic margaritas and service!
Gabrielle B
Daniel is amazing! He is always super friendly and in a great mood! The food is phenomenal! Tacos are my favorite food and this is my favorite place for tacos in Wichita! The margaritas are also the best!
Drew Steadman
Had Christmas Eve lunch with my family here and we had a few drinks. They have great margaritas. Pretty potent though. We had a lot of fun. Very family friendly. My daughter was running around the restaurant with her cousins because it wasn’t too busy. The food is also very good I had some tacos and they were great. Their rice and beans are also very good. I will definitely be back to visit again. Had a lot of fun and they always take great care of you. Service was amazing. They are very nice. Should definitely check it out if you havnt yet!
richard berry
Great food, Best margaritas in town. Daniel is a great guy. It's a must stop.
Ronny Smith
The chips and salsa/entrees were great but the service was slow.
Ryu Takahashi
Their fajitas are excellent and the chips and salsa were very good. Maybe a little spicy for some people and it's not the biggest place so when its busy it feels a little cramped. I would definitely come back.
Sean Stover
Very straight forward menu made to perfection. Homemade chips and salsa you have to be careful not to fill yourself with because yes they are that good. I have tried a couple different dishes and left very full and satisfied. Very friendly and personable staff. This is a great place for lunch or dinner.
Mike Braniff
Very good Mexican food! Tried again after many years and it's better than ever! Went in the middle of dinner rush and were still able to get a table and fairly quick service for how busy they were. Fast and friendly staff and the food was amazing!
mariman01
This was my first time to dine here and I fell in love. The food was great nice portions and the margarita..omg!! Will be heading back again!!
David Bacon
Food was above average but not as wonderful as everyone claims. Queso was good but was not hot. Was excited to try the Margaritas after reading all of the reviews but was extremely disappointed. Strawberry frozen margarita tasted like plastic and extremely artificial tasting flavor wise. My wife had an original Margarita on the rocks and was very disappointed as well. Far from the best in town for sure.
Louise Brinegar
We had yet another wonderful meal here today. Daniel (owner) is always attentive and gracious. The food is always fresh and delicious, and he makes some of my favorite salsa in all of Wichita. We may even be back for lunch again this week since we are working in the area.
Jeanna Lewis
The atmosphere is great. Not a noisy place. The owner is so personable and very nice
Jessica Simmons
Love the food. The owner is so nice. I've never been a margarita fan until now. It was delicious! I had heard they were the best in Wichita. I believe it.
Jennifer Graham
Great food. Great service. Great drinks. That's all you need! Try the Monterey..super good!
Jeff Schamber
Daniel's Margaritas are some of the best I've had, hands down. We decided to get some to go after popping in to keep the party going at home! You won't be disappointed!
Jenny Fiegel
Always a great time! Daniel is a fantastic human, great margaritas, and I have never had a bad thing on the menu. I'm still working my way through it. Locally owned and operated, we have been going there for a long time. Daniel is very friendly and outgoing and is determined to me your experience a good one!!!!!
Tyler Holbrook
I love Mexican food and this place/Daniel the owner does it right. I make sure to visit at least once anytime I'm in town. The fried beef tacos are my favorite find so far. Something I never would have ordered myself at a Mexican restaurant, but now absolutely love are the chicken fajita loaded fries appetizer... give them a whirl, you won't regret it.
Roberto Manzano
Great place good food.
Matt Bailey
Great service (Danny was awesome!) and the food was solid, I would suggest the queso for sure. The margz were good I wouldn’t recommend the guacamole though. Will go again!
Larry Sexton
VERY CLEAN! VERY GOOD FOOD, might be the best queso I've ever had. And you must try their margaritas. Very friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, highly recommend!!!
Isarah Decker
Everything is extraordinary! The food and service are exceptionally wonderful. And the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this to any mexican food lover. But really it's one of my absolute favorite places to eat in the Wichita area and possibly in all of my dining experiences! If you get a chance to try it you should!
Kaylee Muller
LOVE this place! They have great food and margaritas! Decently priced and the employees/ owner are always pleasant and nice.
Shelley Wolf
Been there twice now for lunch. My best friend Marisa and her mom Anita introduced me to the owner Daniel. He's so awesome and his service is hands down the best. The food is so good. Best real Mexican food I've had. The salsa and fajitas are the best. Y'all go you won't regret it. 😊 …
Tiffany Mccammon
Best margaritas in town hands down!!! Love there chicken con queso as well. Daniel is always a smiling delight!
Consuelo The Great?
There were only 3 people working the lobby and our service was AMAZING! I was very doubtful of this place but honestly it took me back to when I was little and we would go to Mexico to see my Nena and she cooked delicious meals for us. The food here is definitely on point!!
Tammra Jones
Food was awesome and great service!!
Jolene Unruh
Very good! I went there with three friends and we were all impressed. It's a cute place; our waiter, who I think might be the owner, was fun and nice, and our food was delicious. All four of us had a different dish and it all seemed very good.
Andrea Johnson
Our family loves Cactus Cantina! We visited from out of town over the weekend for my grandparents wedding anniversary. Daniel always treats us like family! I had the fried tacos and they were 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 superb! …
Kyle Johnson
Awesome, whole in the wall AUTHENTIC MEXICAN! The atmosphere is low key, and "Daniel's Famous Margarita" The BEST!
Judy Rose Creekmore
Amazing food and excellent customer service! Beautiful homey restaurant! Parking is somewhat packed but for good reason! Their food I definitely worth it!
Lyle Rease Cason Jr
This is an excellent Mexican restaurant. The food is always good and the prices are very reasonable.
I only wish that the owners of this establishment would open up a Cactus Cantina & Grill in Hutchinson Kansas so that there was a restaurant closer to where I live. They would definitely give El Patrillo a run for their money and definitely blow Playa Azule out of the water.
C Oliva
Excellent food! Excellent Margaritas! Ask your server for recommendations and you will not be disappointed. Everything was bursting with flavor and freshness. Probably the best chile relleno we've ever tasted and the house made mix in the Margarita made it delightful. Hope to travel through Wichita for this treasure again!
Faith Coleman
Holy Moly all you need is one of. These guys, great food as well
Jessie Epperson
Amazing food with an even more amazing owner. I always get the fried beef taco dinner. My husband usually gets fajitas. Everything is delicious! We don't even have to say our order anymore.
Brandon Tammany
Been here a couple different times after reading about it on the Wichita's top 50 eating spots. I've gotten the flaming fajitas for 2 and a margarita every time and I've NEVER been let down. That isn't even the best part. The owner is what makes the experience memorable. Very friendly and always wanting to make sure you had good experience. No rushing to get you out, just all around great local business in Wichita. Cactus Cantina is a must try if you are wanting good food and a great experience eating out.
Faythe Moreno
The owner was sweet. The chips were stale and the salsa was bland. The cheese dip was yummy. Our meals were okay.
Joslyn Heersche
We had the best dinner and the best salsa I've had in years. The staff was friendly and helpful. Felt like we were guests in their home. Thanks for making a birthday dinner so fun.
Treva
Had the Montery, frozen strawberry margaritas. Both were very good. Waiter was very nice. Chips and salsa were fresh. Thanks for the great service
John Hammans
Quaint Mexican establishment with a extensive menu. Food was flavorful, and the service was excellent.
Gloria Rubio
Love The Margarita's! & The owner is a very humble person! You can tell he loves taking care of his customers!.. you know this because he caters to them personally! Awesome dude! ❤️
Traci Jurgensen
Stopped to grab a quick bite as we were driving through town. Service was good, friendly. I had the lunch serving of street tacos, they were good. Bathrooms and eating area were nice and clean.
Brian Jarvis
Small little restaurant with a family vibe to it. I had their Cactus Special Burrito with queso sauce and it was quite good. Chips were thin and crispy like I prefer, but the salsa was just alright. I would definitely go back.
Janey Hadley
I had a craving for a good chile relleno, and our usual place doesn't make them so I googled. This place is near my house but I'd never been here because the area can be a little sketchy. I am SO GLAD we went! The food was amazing. It was one of those situations where you're taking a bite of each thing and thinking 'ok this is my favorite this is so good WAIT NO THIS ONE IS'. The decor is really cool and the guy that runs it is nice. My new favorite Mexican place in town!
C Sunny
Chicken con queso was fantastic. Queso itself was incredible!! Got take out for my lunch break and they had my order ready very quick. Will be back often! Can't wait to come for dinner so I can try the margaritas too.
Ginya Chell
Food was absolutely delicious. I have been here twice in 35 years.. Kind of upset I haven't been there more. My family and I will be back soon.
Sean Patty
Ask daniel for his special margaritas! Btw get a pitcher of them. Never had a margarita so good. His food recipes are to die for as well. We have yet to have a bad experience. 1 to 5pm are slow so if you dont want to wait enjoy during these hours. Never fails on a friday or saturday u might have to wait a min. He always has group dinners or gathering booked with people lined up. Great service. Great food. Great drinks. Inexpensive place as well. He works his tail off to provide a wonderful dining experience. Thanks daniel for taking care of us. Sean and bethany
Jane Rascon
I love it here I come in all the time the waiters are awesome very friendly clean place the food is excellent. ..the owner Daniel is a great guy very friendly as well love his margaritas they are to dead for if you haven't been here what are you waiting for I recommend 100% you will love it you will not regret it I promise. ...
Deborah Livengood
I like the salad with pickled cactus, then had taco.
Barbara Maisch
This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. They have the best chile rellenos in town. By the way that's what I ordered. Service is always good and food arrived quickly.
Jason Rose
One of the best kept secrets of Wichita. Great food with wonderful service. This restaurant makes some of the BEST Tres Leches Cake in town. Ask for Daniel. He will take great care of you. Thanks for the great experience.
Paul Vaughn
I enjoy Mexican food especially the authentic homemade kind. This place delivered exactly that. The service was prompt and excellent. I was impressed by the excellent taste and quality of the food ordered. If you like to find new places then this one is for you!
Erica N.
This restaurant isn't as flavorful as people rave it to be, but I understand why they are so popular. The management is welcoming and the owner makes you feel at home. It's a seat yourself kind of atmosphere. Everything is around $5-$15, depending on what you choose. We got two entrees the beef fajita and the deep fried tacos, (rice, beans included in entrees), queso dip and an extra basket of chips all for $35, Tip included. Their salsa was probably my favorite. I didn't really enjoy the beef fajita, it was too oily, salty and really lacked spices. My husband enjoyed his entree but agreed that my entree wasn't as flavorful as we expected a beef fajita to be. We might go again, but I'm more likely to go to a small hole in the wall Mexican restuarant for the flavor than the Catus for it's dine in atmosphere.
Coral Norton
Cactus Cantina did not disappoint. Every time I would drive by I would tell myself I need to check it out. The queso was awesome, and honestly they have the best margarita in town. Will definitely be back!
Christine Allsman
Always a great margarita and the food is wonderful! Daniel is very hospitable and we enjoy going in.
Avery Potillo
Do you ever order a plate of nachos and eat the top layer and end up with just a plate of chips? I assure you, you'll have no such problem here. And when you're done eating you'll probably want to lick the queso off the bottom of the plate. Initially I was thinking the prices were a little on the high side. Upon further inspection, the food was so good it would have been a bargain at twice the price .
Valerie Jones
Absolutely delicious. Very well seasoned. Even the refried beans were good, and I usually don't like them. Owner and staff friendly and fun. Very clean
tammy flentie
Daniel is one a wonderful person. I have been going to the Cactus for over 20 years. On my 3rd visit, Daniel knew what I was going to order and what I wanted to drink. Daniel's margarita's are wonderful, Daniel's makes his own margarita mix. The flaming fajitas are the best in Wichita.
Irona Cliver
Love this family run business! The owner Daniel is very friendly and goes above and beyond for his customers! Thank you for the phenomenal birthday cake!!! It was delicious!
Monica Craig (Team Craig)
So far we haven't had a bad dish! Everything is awesome. The owner is so down to earth, makes everyone feel like family.
Amanda Moore
Good food, kind staff. Food was bland, but they provided 2 different kinds of salsa to spice things up. Margarita was made with grand mariner as opposed to triple Sec. Very sweet margarita
Bowe Wingerd
Service = 1 Star
Food = 5 Stars
First, the good:. The beef in the Flaming Fajaitas is GREAT!
Now, the bad: The service sucks! Granted, they're busy, BUT I don't think anyone is waiting on us. A waitress took our drink order but she never brought our drinks. A waiter took our food order and we waited for 45 minutes. The Flaming Fajaitas were not flaming. They forgot to bring us plates. Etc...
Not sure if we'll be back.
Michelle Compass
OMFG this place is fantastic. The owner is an awesome man who don't only serve u and wait on u but conversate with his customers n makes us feel welcome like family. The chicken is like no other it's my favorite
Ricardo Fraga
Place is friendly, fast, and tasty. Food is hot and delicious. Great place for a quick lunch or dinner. Full size bar was visible, and the drinks are awesome!! try this place out, you'll like it.
Benjamin Murray
My my my, Daniel son always comes thru with the spiked margaritas. Chicken con queso and the beans are bomb asf! Me and my fiancé order to go consistently from this family owned and operated business and I love the owner such a warm hearted friendly man, struck me as Italian at first but a seasoned drink mixer for sure. Special margaritas from this man are superb, they are thirst quenching, and he's never shy with the liquor you pay for what you get at this restaurant. The interior is authentic Mexican decor, he makes cool festive decorations which may sway others away, I like this. Pollo Con Queso has me drooling with anticipation every time we suggest this food. Must try food, "don't knock it until u try it"!!
Heather Wallace
Such a great local spot with authentic cuisine. Really good margaritas too.
Laura Foster
Friendly, usually quiet. Great place to gather with family or friends.
Food is great. The 🍹 Margaritas are very good. …
Joshua Carnes
Food was okay... There was stuff everywhere, knick knacks, trinkets, and other things that they were selling. Saw 2 people get up from their dinner and go back and make themselves selves drinks, LOL... from the corps and cleanliness it probably would have been only one star but the food wasn't that bad.
Derek_ المالكية بن ريك “Al-Malikiah ibn Rik” _Sparks
Good food served hot, and friendly service. Enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return in the near future to support this hidden gem.
Rosemary Stice
The food is fantastic. The manager is so wonderful and will actually talk to you like like a human and not a piggy bank.
Food is a little more pricy than Applebee's but the environment makes it so worth it.
Jonie Spivey
Great service. Good food. A family favorite many years.
Shinita Rice
The food was amazing! Daniel is so friendly and a great host.
JoJoe Foster
Daniel is the best host I have encountered in Wichita in a very long time. The queso, chips and salsa were hot and fresh. The entrees of sancho and the flaming fajitas were spectacular. The margaritas were morir por! Then Daniel brought out home made sopapias and fried ice cream! Oh Dios Mio! Daniel made us feel like family and was very attentive with his service. We will definitely be back! Gracious Daniel!
danaca taylor
I ordered the Carne Asada plate and two margaritas. This was by far the best mexican food I have had in a long time. The margaritas were strong and well worth the $6. I will definitely be back!
Ryan W. Gates
Not only do I think this may be the best Mexican food in Wichita, it is one of the best culinary experiences in Wichita. The queso certainly is the star, though you would be hard pressed to find something on the menu that is not delicious. When Daniel waited on our table of 8 last night I asked him what he recommended, to which he replied "After 26 years...everything is great." ...and he was right. I asked him to bring me whatever he felt I should try and placed my dining experience completely in his hands. I had a combination of Chicken con Queso with Carne Asada as well as traditional beans and rice...it was...to die for! I was not alone in my love of this dish and the many other dishes at the table, it was a meal to remember. Daniel also made is special margaritas and I'm not kidding...they are also the best in town! Made fresh, real lime juice (not a pre-mix), and they come by the glass or pitcher. The service (as you can tell) was 5 stars, absolutely 5 stars and that was because of Daniel and his team. The atmosphere is casual and feels very much like home with plenty of seating. There is a bar if you want top pop in for a light bite on the go, it is kid-friendly, and the prices are EXTREMELY affordable. Giving a place 5 stars is always a tough call because 5 stars means something different for everyone. Is this a 5 star restaurant? No, not by traditional standards. Is this a 5 star experience? Yes, and then some. Is this the best Mexican food in Wichita? Yes. Is this a local gem that more people should frequent? Absolutely. Will I go back? Consider me the new regular. I Highly recommend going to Cactus Cantina if you haven't already and be sure to try the Chicken con Queso...heck...anything con queso...and the Carne Asada. This will quickly become your favorite Mexican restaurant in town!
Tony Sanchez
A #1 Mexican restaurant & absolutely delicious meal. The food here is Great & the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly, courteous, & very competent. I Highly recommend this restaurant!
Jessica Maddox
We had steak fajitas for two and flan. Steak was delicious and cooked perfectly. The flan was probably the best I've had in town. We will definitely be back!
Joel Wheeler
Love the Teo plate! So delicious, and not just the typical tex-mex. Tastes like something you'd get at some delightful Mexican grandmother's house after she'd been working on it all day. Good margaritas, too!
Docking a star for the chips and salsa, tho, which are fine but not incredible.
Jacob Lore
Place is great, drinks are good, food is better! Daniel, the owner is friendly and is always a lot of fun. Great local place for really good Mexican food!
Lori Biggs
Awesome food great people work there. Owner very friendly. Best margarita in town
B *Gal
Good home made style traditional Mexican food. Owner and his family were eating dinner next to us and included us. Street tacos were made to be remembered.
Guy Anderson
I have been coming here since I was a kid and this place never fails to impress. Every time I come in the owner Daniel asks how my mom and sister are doing. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I highly recommend coming here.
Michelle Miller
Hadn't been here in awhile and I wasn't impressed at all this time. My margarita was horrible. Didn't even look like a margarita. Was orange in color.
Kathy Maryman
OMG..the food and the service is awesome. ..the owner is always so intrested in making sure that you have a wonderful experience. ..I try something new every time...a joy...food exceptional quality ingredients
Christina Maalis
Great flavors on the chili rellano and the spicy pork, I loved the sweet margarita, My BF prefers them tangy, he was not as impressed with his, but over all, great place to come.
Jessica Winder
I met the owner who was super friendly and made me feel welcome. The Sizzling Fajitas were amazing and the portion was big enough for plenty of leftovers.
Cooper James
Cactus Cantina & Grill is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the greater ICT area, and has been for some time. Owner and Operator, Daniel does everything in his power to ensure his guest feel right at home and welcomed in his restaurant.
Being a regular go-to of mine I can thoroughly say that this venue is a perfect place for a family dinner or a night out with the crew.
My usual? Tri-meat Flaming Fajitas served directly to the table ablaze in flame, a hearty portion of rustic bold-flavored guacamole served with tortilla chips, and a pitcher of Grand Marnier Margaritas delivered ice cold.
With decor brought back from Mexico by Daniel himself, there is always something beautiful that will catch your eye.
I assure you, no guest will not be disappointed by a visit to Daniels Cactus Cantina & Grill.

Why would you show a half eaten plate of food and leave the fork showing to? Not only is that unappetizing & gross looking but the 1 dish shown just looked like melted cheese with lumps of an unknown source stirred in.
As a consumer, first impressions are what brings us in our keeps us out.
