The Purple Cactus 🌵 💜 is a unique place to have a quick bite 😁. I visited there with my friend on a hot afternoon but the food especially the fruit 🥤 made it a tasty day.
The staff was super generous and the food was mouthwatering. I was totally satisfied with my vegetarian quesadilla and fruit punch.

Highly recommended! The food is good and the taste is even better. I feel they should be starting a loyalty program real soon, would love to be back soon 😁.

They shouldn’t sell burritos, threw it out half way at through what a waste of $15! How hard is it to make a good burrito when that’s job, lack of diverse options, charge extra for every little thing , I don’t get it

Calling this food “mid” would be a compliment. Don’t waste your money here. The chicken burritos me and my gf got were 60% beans, 30% rice, and 10% everything else. We paid for cheese as well as sour cream and neither were included in our burritos; we had to add our own cheese at home as you can see in the picture lol. I love JP and want to support local businesses but this was my last visit here.

Rip off. Steak burrito had 6 pieces of meat the size of marbles. Portobello burrito was 90% spinach and barely visible goat cheese. Their prices keep going up while the value keeps going way down.

Me and my family enjoy eating from our neighborhood Purple Cactus rest. We like to order once or twice a week. We also like to help small business in the neighborhood, so they can remain open for business. There are so many businesses closing their doors. But when they turn and start hiking prices, I ask? Why continue to help keep them in business?? What they fail to realize is that is not just them dealing with high cost etc. We are all dealing with financial issues etc. some way or another. It's a shame! I stop in the other day, The small SIZE, BARELY THEIR TURKEY CHILLI WENT FROM 4.50 TO 6.50 AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THE PORTION OR THE LITTLE CONTAINERS. IT'S A SHAME! AND IT'S TURKEY AT THAT! WHICH IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN GROUND BEEF! THE CHICKEN ON THE SALAD IS GETTING LESS AND LESS WITH EVERY VISIT. MY LETTUCE IS MORE LIKE THE HARD WHITE STEM ALSO KNOWN AS THE RIB PART! LIKE SERIOUSLY! WHERE IS THE SALAD! AT THE END OF THE DAY, I THINK I'M JUST MOVING ALONG . I CAN START SAVING MY MONEY. I'M GOING TO START CREATING MY OWN LOVELY SALADS AND CHILI, BURRITOS, IS WAY CHEAPER! WHY GIVE THEM MY MONEY I WORK SO HARD TO EARN? THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY ONLY THINKING ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND THEIR BUSINESS.! HERE IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT OMG. DELICIOUS! I SHOULD GO INTO BUSINESS! LOL HAAA HAAA..
