Went for dinner on a Friday night - not a long wait, exceptionally good staff!

We had the chili special with cornbread- which was amazing. Chili is spicy but not too much, there are beans and corn along with chorizo so this changes the typical texture for chili which was nice! Cornbread tasted like it had some whole wheat / more wholesome than straight corn flour, warm, and buttery 😋

Chimichanga was fried but not greasy which is an accomplishment! The texture and taste if the fried burrito was amazing. The steak was cooked just right and the “Baja” sauce was perfect.

Mexican rice was delicious and bursting with flavor.

Quesadilla was crispy, cheesy and had the right amount of dressings.

Our server was cheerful, friendly, professional and very quick. What a great energy to dine with - he really upheld a lively mood & complemented the whole vibe. Thank you, Sir! 🙏

We didn’t even try the desserts but definitely coming back again to try new things on the menu. We had a great experience! Thank you, Cactus Blue!

For people who know what Mexican food is, this is not it. Don't go. They use bad tasting shredded chicken for the fajitas. That Mexican rice is the worst rice that I could only try because I couldn't eat it. . this is the American version of Mexican food.
They use paper plates and the food is served cold.
I really could have gotten a frozen burrito and had it taste better
Please learn how to cook Mexican. We will not return , We feel like it was a waste of money. This restaurant was almost empty, now we understand why. If we could we would give it 0 stars.

We went here on a whim and wow! Cool vibe, very friendly , friendly service and great food. While Mexican food is usually vegetarian friendly, few places spend time making an exceptional option, and it seems like they realized this and created this amazing veggie blend to fill the need. I had a burrito and my husband had fajitas with the veggie option and it was fantastic!
