Been going to Cactus for several years. Always good and getting better. We love their salads me especially the Cali salad. I have has burritos and enchiladas there as well. All good. Quick cheerful service with plenty of refills and just the right amount of attention. Go back? Darn tooting!

The food was loaded with decent ideas and poor execution. Too bad, because it sounded delicious. The cactus flower bowl was swimming with bean juice (maybe a little bit of an exaggeration), though the line dressing and chicken were very tasty. The Santa Fe enchiladas had very little shredded beef, and weirdly little flavor despite despite the delicious sounding description. Our server was great, btw. Fairly limited options for dietary restrictions, which is unusual for Mexican restaurants.

I came here for old times sake like we always have. We've been visiting Navarre for over 20 years. This is the place for good Mexican style food with a chef's twist. It's creative and good but found a little lacking for lunch as far as carnivore options or diabetic friendly. This resulted in me trying out the Cali Salad with Asada. I ordered extra meat as well for the upcharge It was good but did not feel very full. The salad was really good but next time I'd order it without rice. I'd recommend both dressings on the side to try...

That caught me off guard. Burrito bowls are an exception but you'd have to remove several things. Just solid meat options were a bit lacking.

Tortilla Soup is a large bowl and don't think of anything like McAlister's tortilla soup. This is very much a homemade style straight out of Mexico. I thought it was good but others prefer it creamy. This was very soupy but tasty I thought. Burrito bowls look beautiful and I know my wife loved hers.

All in all I'd still come back just because of the service and everything is pretty fresh. Their Avocados were pretty good.

This place is awesome! It feels small but the food makes up for it. They start you with chips and salsa (if you like cilantro salsa then you will love it like we did). Also, the chips taste like store bought chips but we love those. I had the Cali Burrito. It was sooooo good! The steak was so tender and everything was seasoned very well. My wife had the chicken quesadilla and it was huge (about the size of a medium pizza) and it was delicious. Our picky kid had the kids burrito (big size for kid) and loved it. The waiter took care of us with refills and always checked on us. If you are near this place, then stop by for dinner. (You won’t regret it!)

PS: they put brown paper over the table to clean it up faster. My wife hates the crinkle noise of the paper, but if you’re weird like her, then that should be your only complaint. lol

We love Cactus Flower and usually just do take out. The mango shrimp is always good. I was a little disappointed today. I pre-ordered my meal to be picked up at 530. When I got there it was not ready which was fine I get it but when I received my food the tostada was mushy the shell wasn't even crisp like it had been sitting a while and the mango shrimp didn't have mango on two of them. They didn't look swamped so not sure what was going on this time.
