I have been going to Purple Cactus for 20+ years. My kids grew up on their burritos and turkey chili. I can't believe it took me this long to post a review.
This is a great neighborhood spot that seems to treat its staff with respect. e.g. closing for certain holiday weekends
Excellent selection of food, reasonable prices and professional service in a perfect location.
My go to these days is the chicken caesar salad with turkey chili and a cabo...
Although the seating area was nice, I thought the food was uninspired. Got the bean and cheese burrito and the cheese was cold… Missing some flavors overall.Generally a weird atmosphere. You don’t see what you get (compared to other places, the assembly/cooking area is not in view). Also, the employee taking orders was seemingly having a very bad day.
My kids have always loved this place. They have a decent tofu burrito but my favorite is the squash and corn. Order without sour cream and cheese to make it vegan, but I like to add guacamole. Salads and soups are also good. They prepare your order quickly, even when busy.
