Customer Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised at this place! I don't usually have high expectations for Midwest Mexican restaurants. The tacos were amazing, their house salsas (in the bottles) were delicious. AND they have ice cream! Their flan was out of this world. I think they make their own tortillas too. We will be back!
I was craving authentic Mexican tacos al pastor and they didn't disappoint. Chef's kiss. Refried beans are also five stars. Tamales not bad. I don't like gooey cheese but if you do, you would love their giant Chile relleno which they could rename "Chile drowned in cheese". Chicken quesadilla was too bland and soggy with not enough cheese. Prices are reasonable. Service is good. No ambiance, but who cares when the tacos are so good?
Wonderful food, low prices, big portions and great service. These street tacos are the bomb. I ended up getting one shrimp, one chicken and two steak. House hit sauce is really good and spicy. Definitely will be back.
First time trying. Better salsa than tequilas although I'd rather have homemade tortilla chips. Chairs at the tables were beautiful. Service was great. I got the Mexican flag enchiladas which were awesome. Will definitely come back sometime.
This is a great restaurant! They serve some dishes that are a little different! I ordered Pollo Tampiqueno. It’s awesome! It looks like the chicken would be really spicy, but it wasn’t hot. It has a great flavor! The prices are really fair. The music is very enjoyable. The restaurant is nice and clean, too. Please give Cactus Cuisine a try if you haven’t yet!
