Cactus Grill

This restaurant is a hidden gem. The decor is simple yet beautiful, the food choices are great and so are the prices, portion sizes are generous, and the service is phenomenal, too. Sara was super courteous, helpful, and patient to help us with our strictly vegetarian options and Manny, the manager ensured us that none of the dishes that we had ordered will have any meat. The food was super fresh, colorful, and very delicious, too. And last but not the least, the food arrived fairly quick, and while we were waiting for our orders to arrive, we were generously served fresh chips and salsa of four different types. We love going to Cactus once every few weeks and will continue to do so.

My husband and I just got back from Guanajuato, Mexico and were craving authentic Chilaquiles and Cactus Grill came highly recommended by some friends in Manassas. IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY! My husband had the Chilaquiles Rojos and I had the Chilaquiles con Mole (the owner is from Oaxaca and makes the mole herself) and it was out of this world. We even had the Cafe de Olla (Mexican coffee with cinnamon). Manny, our waiter, was so kind and knowledgeable and told us all about the heritage of the owners and guided us through the vast menu of authentic Mexican food - so many delicious dishes. My husband and I LOVED it and will be routine customers! Go eat here! You will love it too!

Quite possibly one of the worst Mexican experiences I’ve ever had . Waiter forgot my chips and salsa , (3 people in restaurant ). My dinner was absolutely swimming in oil. I drained it out of my plate and it was just saturated in the entire meal. The entree had bacon in it so adding oil to that seems insane . It was borderline not even edible . Restaurant is falling apart , needs freshened up . Pictures speak for themselves , try out cactus grill to raise your cholesterol

We went in and instantly felt like on another country, Mexico! The vibe is on point and its clean. We are so happy with the service, our server Manny was the best! Friendly, accommodating and helped us a lot with our orders as it was our first time coming in this place. I had their amazing tacos and Manny gave us a complimentary dessert, Tres Leches, it was the best! Feel free to ask for him if you want to, he was such a vibe. He made our first experience here so much and we will definitely coming back!

We were on our way home from Falls Church back to the Shenandoah valley when we stumbled upon this place. My kids love Mexican food & I didn't want fast food. Both of my kids are autistic, the waitress noticed my daughter going into sensory overload because the music was loud & she turned it down. Staff was really great. This was the best, most authentic Mexican food I've eaten in years. This was a great find on our way home. Highly recommend to check it out! Oh ya, the salsa & chips they brought out to snack on was absolutely delicious, the salsa wasn't spicy but extremely flavorful, made with tomatillo tomatoes. Like I said, check them out ;)
