Customer Reviews
Was in town for my son’s Naval training graduation. Came here to eat Everything was excellent. The manager came to our table and congratulated my son and gave us complimentary loaded fries. I will return again. Thanks for the great service and food ❤️🥂
We did reservation as requested for 5. The server was very friendly and did a great job. The food was good. I ordered taco dinner and had 2 tropical mules which were delicious. The only down side of my visit was we all paid separately which they said was fine but they added gratuity 18% to each of our checks. Which is not ok. We weren't a table of 6 or more, when 1 of the girls went to pay since she didn't have her receipt the cashier didn't include gratuity. This is 1 a rip off because if we hadn't looked we would of double tipped 2. I wanted to tip her in cash 3 what if I wanted to do 20% because I never do 18 since this is what they live off of. But because the restaurant messed up I didn't tip any different. I did address it but they gave me an excuse they didn't know why it was added
I've debated for some time writing this review since my reviews are typically extremely positive but here we are. I was extremely excited to try this place since it's so close to home so initially I went to the grand opening and arrived at 11:45. Waited 2.5 hrs with my daughter only to be told they weren't sure how much longer it would be and that it's just best to cancel my order (normally I would not wait this long but since it was the grand opening I was giving grace). They brought me out some French toast and told my daughter and I that we could leave after we finished it. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give it another try. Stopped by for lunch with my boyfriend only to find out after ordering my food that they were out of potatoes (another disappointment) not to mention the chicke
I had the pleasure of dining at Pink Cactus recently, and it was truly a delightful experience. The vibrant, inviting atmosphere immediately set a fun and relaxed tone. The restaurant’s decor is charming, with colorful accents that perfectly match their lively menu. The food was exceptional — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I especially loved their signature dishes; each bite was a perfect balance of spices and textures. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us choose from their diverse menu. What really stood out was their commitment to quality and a warm, welcoming environment that made us feel right at home. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, Pink Cactus is a fantastic choice. I definitely reco
I ordered the Hangover Chilaquiles 10/10 the chips were crunchy, the red sauce was smoky and spicy and the green was mild. Very well seasoned. My wife had chicken and waffles she rates hers 9.5/10 she wanted more bacon lol
