Slow service, food wasn’t good, and their menu prices are lower than what they actually chargeMargarita mug was good I guess.

Got a chicken burrito, pretty much everything that came with it was overdosed in salt. Idk why that is but the salt is overwhelming. Also the beans that came with it were practically water which was pretty unappealing

Disrespectful! I went here with my family to order and immediately was ignored by the guy at the counter. We walked in and he turned his back towards us when he saw us and proceeded to ignore us as we tried to order our food. We spoke again saying ‘hello’ and still nothing, then he went in the back towards the kitchen as we’re saying ‘hello excuse me’ he proceeded to walk away.

The price is alright and the staff is friendly, but this is some of the saltiest food I've had in my life. It's like the sauce is made from saltwater... If you want good Mexican food go down the street to the Mr Burrito, if you want to get drunk and have some Mexican food on the side go here.

First visit to Cactus restaurant in Campustown Ames. Actually it's known as Cactus 2 as there are 3 restaurants in Iowa.Generally okay, went during snowstorm, not busy but a large group showed up later, which is a good sign.Service was fast and friendly!Food tasted okay though the portion sizes are shrinking to the point as too whether it's worth it or not.My chips were fresh out the oil, but not salted which makes you hungry and thristy for more. They tasted good. The salsa tasted like commercial?The Super Taco was okay, not sure about the Super part, same price of the regular single hardshell. The shell was made of flatbread maybe.The burrito was smallish, but tasted okay.Streetside only parking, no bikerack, no wifi.Music was loud and kept cutting out.

Terrible service!!!!!
I get the Tacos on Tuesdays for the deal. But unfortunately they don't always pick up the phone. So that ruins me trying to order take out for lunch. I've went in to place an order and told them about the phone and they just give you a blank stare.
Food was good, and the server Angie was great!
I wouldn't say they're anything great.
If I could give it a 0 ⭐️ I would this place was horrible food service this place is absolutely Asinine and should not be in business
