About The Cactus Restaurant

The Cactus Restaurant offers the best and most authentic Latin cuisine. Although the place is small, all the dishes are absolutely delicious, especially the Cactus Parillada and the Nutella Shake. The Cactus Parillada is something to share, praised for being incredibly well seasoned and flavorful. The staff is attentive and informative, providing great recommendations and explaining popular menu items for first-time visitors. The cachapas with pork rinds are a highlight, reminiscent of Colombian home cooking. Customers appreciate the very good food to price ratio and mention the pleasant surprise of the great juice choices. The restaurant features a happy hour from 4 pm until closing. The space is wheelchair accessible, allowing for easy maneuverability between tables.

Recent reviews highlight the excellent service and kind hosts, with food coming out relatively quickly. Customers enjoyed dishes like the sampler platter, mini arepas, and fried cassava. The menu is large, with plenty of gluten-free options, making it suitable for various diners. Many have returned, loving the flavors of the arepas, especially those with shredded beef and grilled steak, noting that the meat is well-seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. Sweet plantains have also been praised as a wonderful appetizer. Although prices are not the cheapest, diners feel the quality justifies the cost, and they look forward to trying more interesting items from the menu.
