“Atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, the waiters were very fast and excellent. As soon as you sit down they hand you fresh hot chips and a very sweet and tangy salsa (which was amazing) and they then gave me a bowl of guacamole which was just as good. I Ordered a chimichanga and flan later after, and let me tell you. The chimichanga tasted as if they cooked everything individually then added it all together to make a fresh and mouthwatering beast of a chimichanga. Then flan afterwards was taken out of a fridge from the front and brought to the back and not long after they brought it out and looked as of it was homemade. The first to the last bite of the flan was absolutely fantastic and it really shows how much they care about the consumers experience. Highly recommend coming here as much as you can. (Drinks were great too)“

“What a gem! Not much of an atmosphere but who cares. Incredible food. Quesabirria was so good. I love how the tacos are infused with the broth but still very crunchy. Usually quesabirria is soggy, but not here. Wish I lived closer, bc I would go couple times a week if I could.“

“This is definitely a place to stop while you are in this area. My wife enjoyed steak fajitas while I had the monster chimichanga. Unbelievably good food. This was the best chimichanga I have ever had in my life. Our server was very friendly and the place was very clean. We also got to watch the goldfish swim through the window while we ate. There was so much food that my wife took home a large portion of her meal and ended up making five meals out of it. Their portions are large and a good deal for the money. We will be returning here!“

I got the nachos fajitas cancon with a Bahama momma and hubby got fajitas with beef, shrimp and scallops with a margarita. This trip we may have to go twice while we're here.“

Tienda MEXICANA los Cactos Mexican • $
94 US-64, Cashiers - 6.85 miles

“Very Good Mexican Food in Cashiers. The place has a very large menu, with a wide variety of choices--all at reasonable prices. I think the most expensive thing on the menu is a steak dish at like $15. Most choices are in the $8 to $9 range. The service is fast, so everything comes out hot. There is a full bar and their Texas margaritas are the best!“

“Food was outstanding and very fresh. Much better than the other Mexican place we tried. That said, I found it a bit expensive. First time I ever had to pay for chips and salsa. Also, $10 for a small bowl of guacamole which was full of tomatoes.Would I go again? Yes. Just wouldn't get the guacamole.Four stars due to price, nothing else.“
