The food and service were great. Whether you’re in town for a beach vacation or just craving some good Mexican inspired fare, this spot delivers a mix of food , drinks and great ambience.

We tried their A La Diabla Shrimp, Fetuccini Alfredo, Mardu gras pasta and tacos. Everything was really good.“

Our son ordered the Cowboy ribeye and said it was delicious. Daughter had the hamburger and I had the soup of the day with salad. All ingredients were fresh. All meat was excellent quality. We can recommend.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food“

“My daughter and sister wanted to eat Mexican food on our recent trip to Pensacola. Mariachi’s showed up as the nearest restaurant to us and I’m so glad that it did. My daughter and I had the fajitas for two. It was perfectly seasoned. In fact, that was the best fajitas that I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to travel back to Pensacola to eat there again. I definitely recommend. ❤️“

“Great customer service, beautiful owner, great environment!“

“Incredibly fast service! Good taste. Authentic. Good Carnitas. I could see this being a good option for catering a celebration of medium size. It's not so much tex mex, as it is more authentic Mexican food that you'd expect to find in San Diego. I'll definitely stop in again!“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican street-style tacos I've ever had. They are quick, very affordable, and it's always super fresh – they grill everything on the spot when you order. I'm extremely lucky to work just up the road from these cocineras maravillosas.“

“so good! the food was really yummy and our waiter was really nice (I believe he doesn’t work there often and was just there to help his girlfriend out but I cannot remember his name) my boyfriend and I were not planning on going but we dropped my mom off for an appointment near by and needed to kill some time so we decided to stop and grab a bite. before we even were headed to walk in (we could have just been on the sidewalk with no intent on going in) the staff greeted us and started to make small talk and were already very friendly. we got in and my boyfriend got two chicken tacos, we shared the chips and queso, and I got the street corn. we both just had water (they have alcohol and jarritos) and it was around $20. My street corn came in a cup and was a massive portion. I can throw back some food and couldn’t finish. It was spicy and warm and comforting. My boyfriend really liked his as well. We’ll probably get the chorizo queso next time instead because we both like ours a lil hotter but it was still great and a really large portion! The entire staff was really friendly! We will def be back. We literally could not stop talking about how great our service was for like three hours!“

“I love this place! Top notch food and the margaritas are the best! My favorite is the Green Goat Quesadilla...It is so much food that I get 2 meals out of it. My son swears by the Flying Burrito. My husband tries something new every time. We have never had a bad experience here, you should try it. The atmosphere is really cool too!

Parking: Like any place downtown, parking is there, you just have to find it!“

“The chicken quesadilla and sauce with it was sooo good. chips (they make them, was better then anything I've had at a restaurant) and salsa. kids loved the hard and soft tacos. will visit again!“

“Good afternoon, I only tried the huaraches but they are very delicious and well served and they served me quickly. I recommend them.

Kid-friendliness: It has vegetables, it's not vegetarian, but it's balanced, well, I think it's delicious.“

“DJ was the best server! Management was extremely kind. From first greeting my party at the door to wishing us a great day upon our exit, a wonderful experience and delicious food experienced by all in my party. Try the seafood nachos- will not disappoint!“

“Husband and I got take out. The lady who works there was so sweet and doing it all on her own! She was very friendly and looked like she loved what she was doing. We got a steak chimichanga, steak California burrito, and birria tacos. All were delicious! Definitely going back ❤️“

“Come join us . you won't be disappointed!“

“Came in with a party of 22 during the Sunday morning church lunch rush after our grandchilds baby dedication. The manager was very accommodating and helpful in getting tables together for us with a full house of patrons! Our wait was under 25 minutes and our waitress did a phenomenal job taking all of our orders and getting us all the correct food. There were no send backs and the food was delicious! Very impressed and thankful!“

“I will say that I have traveled Many times state side and abroad. Just happened to note the name Cactus Flower- California style.. I'm a native Texan and I know Mexican.. This beats anything I've had in Florida.. almost as good as Dallas.. I highly recommend this. Staff was busy with lunch and attentive.. service was swift, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend this fair for the wholesome food lover in you. My complements to the owners, chef, staff.. my bill was 14.02 I left a 20. Treat the server in your life well.. I'm a Mexican food addict.“

“It’s was great service! Came to Florida for vacation had dinner here.“

“This is a great place for food and it's located perfectly right outside the mall. Food would almost be a five star, depending on a few things. The freshness of the chips, and trust me you can tell if they were last night's leftovers. And the most important thing the ingredients. My last visit was the best and I will tell you why. The gentleman stirred up ingredients before applying them which means you are getting all the flavors and the freshness of that ingredient. Not the cold, dried top portion, which will always get. This comes with training and experience and will make the difference when comes to them presenting their best product. And its still better than Taco Bell. ?“

“Best Mexican food in Pensacola! I have been a customer for many years!“

“Taco salad and fajitas. Both cooked right. Peppers had that charred edge that enhances the sweet. Fried taco salad bowl was a little different but ultimately delicious. Chips served with 3 salsas. Green hot. Red hot. Red medium. All delicious. Service was excellent. I’ll be back.“

“I love love love this place! Their esquites (corn cups) are so good. But don’t get a small because it is a tiny cup with barely any in it (my mistake). Their jalapeño nachos are good and I highly recommend their delicious watermelon agua fresca ?! I will be editing my review to add more pictures for every time I go- I will be trying something different each time.“

“Stopped in for lunch on our annual trip to Pensacola on 8/4. The team could not have been friendlier and helpful! They saved us a little money with the Happy Hour going on that we were unaware of. The food was excellent, but the team and their service made the visit. Looking forward to going back next year!“

“Had very delicious Mujarro Fritas and Pombazo. Fried fish was crispy and very tasty. First time for Pombazzo but the sour cream and fresh cheese make a tangy good flavor - I liked Pombazo best with lime juice and tortilla. Food truck Guero is 1 block off the road in a residential neighborhood. Music and eating screened carport were pleasant background. Very nice!

Wheelchair accessibility: Wood picnic Table outside on asphalt parking lot. Inside screened car port is flat but may need help getting over threshold.“

“Taco Bell is always good!
I ordered Chicken quesadilla. Was Good.

Life hack:

Ask for extra cheese ? and extra meet when ordering.
That will change everything
Try at least once.

*They forget give me souses
Always ask for souses“
