So the waitress was good. I was there about 11:45.. so I was expecting FRESH FOOD..which I got because my food choices were not from the buffet. The food on the buffet did not look fresh to me . I had the house special plate.. the chicken and steak were ok.. I asked for yellow rice because on the buffet they had white rice and rice and beans together and neither option looked fresh or good. I don't eat seafood but did try the shrimps that came on the plate but I'm not going to judge those because I don't eat shrimp and have nothing to compare it to. The guacamole and chips was absolutely disgusting which was very disappointing because I LOVE GUACAMOLE & CHIPS!! That was the main reason I picked this restaurant (because they have guacamole and chips) so for it to be so nasty was a disappointment.The guacamole is very watery with too much onion. The chips were stale and lack salt. The price was right along the average price for East Boston area Mexican/ Hispanic restaurants.

The bud tenders at the dispensary across the street recommended this place. You should always go to whatever food spot the budtenders at BOUTIQ recommend!!!

First and last time for me! Total waste of money! Poorly put together! Charged me the same as meat, even though it was vegetarian. The taco was like a small bowl, with oversized tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots! It was horrible!

I love the Cactus. This might be the best authentic food in East Boston. Always fresh and NEVER disappointed. Extremely nice professional family who own this and phenomenal cooks. I'd love to eat at their house some holiday. For now this will do!!!

They have the best chimichangas and the best El Salvador in empanadas. Overall their food is outstanding and we don't need that often I prefer to cook

Every time I go to the airport I make a stop here for their pupusas-- the cheese and bean and cheese are so good I've never bothered ordering anything else!! Truly the perfect food... well worth the trip to the area.
