Big portions, high quality and fresh, extremely reasonable prices.

We have been going to Cactus for almost 30 years. My children were raised on cactus burritos! Over that time the food has been great, consistent with reasonable prices except for the past 2 years. The burritos are awful and the crispy chicken tacos were dripping with oil. They changed the recipe on the best fish burrito I loved for years. Now the cabbage is cooked, not fresh. I can’t go here any more. It’s a disappointment.

This place has delicious food and quick counter service. The drink dispenser has flat and sparkling water. Definitely our go-to place for Mexican food while in Rockridge.

Mi nieto loves the refried beans and rice every time I visit. He insists we go here almost every time I visit. Great!

Good food in affordable price. They use disposable plastic unfortunately which is a HUGE minus for any business, no option to get your drink not in disposable cup.

Disappointed is the best way to describe it, used to be great back in the day. But now, $16 for a burrito? Price alone is insane, yet on top of that, it’s really not even that good, zero flavor and very bland overall. Wouldn’t go back

Asked for rice and beans on a plate with the tortilla on the side. I was told I could only get it as a burrito.

Chiliquiles for brunch. One sad scrambled egg on the chips. Skip this and head to Tacubaya

My first really bad experience in 25 years: I ordered chile relleno with carne asada and two simple quesadillas. My relleno had NO CARNE ASADA, abundant rice and maybe 3 tbsps of refried beans ~ It also took about 30 minutes from pickup to delivery (distance one mile). I won’t do this again.
Love the tacos here!

Sad breakfast burrito
The food is 3.5/4. I will not go there if there are other, better options
Underwhelming portion sizes, chips are not homemade, for a $15 burrito I expect more.
Family and friends drive out from 45 minutes away to go here for special days. Food is great, and the markets and shopping nearby make for a nice place to visit.
Decent place. Interior was clean. Clean rest room.
Pretty standard Mexican food in terms of selection and taste. Some salsas were well done. They provides additional ones when we asked. Sides were a bit pricey I thought.
