Cactus Cantina in Fairhope is a lively, colorful spot that delivers all the fun and flavor you could want from a Mexican restaurant. From the moment you walk in, the upbeat atmosphere and friendly staff set the tone for a great time. It’s a perfect place for casual dinners, family outings, or hanging out with friends over margaritas and chips.

Salsa was like tomato soup - no jalapeño’s, cilantro or garlic. Boring!
Salsa verde was also bland.
Lime, jalapeño, cucumber margarita was great!
Brooke, our waitress was more interested in doing her side work than taking care of us!
The food was lackluster. Not horrible but not great.
We loved sitting out on the patio - the weather
was great!
They also need some mexican music.
I hope they get it together because we like the venue and location.

Prices were kinda high for the quantity of food. Server didn't appear to be to knowledgeable of what was on the menu, we felt rushed.

Amazing food, nice facility, good prices. Came last night for dinner, already had experience with this brand from a night out in Orange Beach, this location is nicer. We had the chicken fajitas and they were delicious. I think they screwed up because they had it on special on the chalkboard in front of the restaurant outside, when we left it was erased so I think it was a holdover from lunch and that's why the price was so good but regardless the food was amazing. This restaurant has consistently been one of the shiny beacons in Mexican food because they have really good flavors and the service is good and the facilities are well kept. Will definitely be back! A+

Food Birria meat was very dry and flavorless. The fish taco was a hard fishstick Not recommended. Our waitress was more attentive to her phone than us. Usually a nice place but lunch and service was bad today

My friend and I met for dinner this evening. We were seated, chips/ salsa provided and our drink order was taken. It was stifling hot and the restaurant and when my friend ask about it being so hot, the waitress said the air conditioning wasn’t working, but later said it was because of the sun shining through the windows. I eat at this specific Cactus Cantina practically every week and it has never been uncomfortable. It was very difficult to enjoy the evening when you are miserable from the inside temperature. The waitress even said it was cooler in the kitchen! Their food is always excellent, but it seems such a great restaurant would inform the customers prior to seating them that the air conditioning is out of service.
