The staff was great the food was good, I was a little disappointed with my meal only because it didn't come with beans and rice, and I figured a burrito would come with that. Besides that the dining experience was good.

This owed by Jose Peppers and has same menu with a few additional items. If you like Jose Peppers save your money and just go to Jose peppers. We got 4 street tacos and it was $32. Atmosphere isn’t as nice as Jose’s and prices are way more expensive for the same food.

Cactus Grill overall has been one of our favorites and we would regularly drive 45 minutes to the nearest location. We were thrilled when one opened practically in our backyard. We have been to this location 5-6 times since it opened. I reserved judgement as it was new and the first couple of times it seems the staff was still becoming oriented.

But last night was the final straw. Our absolute favorite dish (grilled mahi tacos) has been replaced by fried sea bass. We tried them hoping for the best, but they are nothing at all like the mahi ones. The server shared that it was likely they weren’t popular, but everyone we know that ate there RAVED about them. It’s more likely that mahi became more expensive and they were replaced by a cheaper alternative. I get that businesses have to control costs, but we would have gladly paid more to get them.

We also ordered the steak and goat cheese enchiladas. They were ok, but we apparently didn’t read the menu description closely enough to understand that you got two completely different versions. One flour tortilla, one corn with different sauces. Not a fan of either.

On all six visits we have been disappointed in the overall service. We try to go when it’s not crazy busy and that was the case this time. We waited almost 10 minutes for a server to approach our table. I’m not quite sure why, but it seems to take a LONG time to get a bar drink. We ordered the Daisy Cactus and it was not served until after our meal arrived even though we ordered it right away.

This particular location is really loud. It’s difficult to carry on a conversation without shouting especially if you aren’t seated in a booth. Overall it’s clean and clearly on the upscale side as Tex-mex places go.

I’m not sure if we will go back which is sad because we LOVED the food. We may give it another try to find another favorite.

Was a super long wait and seemed disorganized which is the only reason I’m giving 4 stars. Went to get a drink from the bar and Ivana helped us out and she was super quick and lovely. When we got seated our waitress, Abi was attentive and seemed very professional and experienced. She immediately brought down our less than pleased attitudes over the wait. I will be returning because of how both the bartender and waitress saved the day. Food was amazing.

I came in to Cactus Grill with my fiancée last night (Wednesday 1/28) for a nice, fun dinner. This wasn’t my first time to Cactus Grill, but it was our first time at this location, as I just discovered this was here a few days ago. I was surprised with how busy they were for a weeknight, but we were able to get sat quickly.

The food, as always, was excellent, and we really enjoyed the environment of this newer location. We really had a nice time, and we were able to eat fast enough to catch our movie, without feeling rushed.

Our waitress’ name was Abi. I recognized her from another place, but couldn’t quite remember, until she told me she had worked at Big Biscuit a while back. I remembered that she had treated me really well back then, and she treated us really well all over again. We weren’t sure what to get, so Abi had some great suggestions. She had such a charming and fun-spirited personality but she was fast and efficient, too. She knew we were catching a movie, so she made sure to get us fed, and taken care of. I’ll definitely be asking for her to serve me in the future!

We love good Mexican food, and Cactus Grill hits the spot. I was so glad to find out that this restaurant was here. It’s really close to where I work, so I plan on making this a more regular place for me when we eat out.

Great food. Great service. A+
Thanks Cactus Grill!

The food at Cactus Grill is pretty good, however, my small interactions with the employees has not been great.

The first time I had a pick-up order, I walked in and there was 4 people standing at the front desk who all just glared at me and didn’t say a word. I told them I had a pick-up order and they said “it’s at the bar” in a tone as if I should already know that. It’s also awkward having to go to the bar, especially if it’s busy because there is no where to wait that isn’t in the way.

I called today to place a pick-up order because I wanted to swap out sides for my order and it wouldn’t let me on the website. I was immediately asked to be put on hold and was on hold for over 10 minutes before they just hung up on me. This was at 3:30pm so not during a busy time. The employees again did not even greet me when I walked in, but just looked at me. The girls at the bar were fine. I came during the pick-up window and my food was cold, not even luke warm. They also forgot my chips.

We regularly dine here due to the staff and great food. Everyone here is so kind and quick with our orders. Ximena specifically remembers our special requests and gets it to us before even asking. We love coming here and seeing all the friendly staff and good food and margaritas!
