It has been over a year and a half since my spouse and I ate here and still to this day we talk about how this was probably the best meal we have ever had in our lives. Not only was the food perfection but the staff were beyond amazing, incredibly friendly and welcoming. If we ever make the trip out to Seattle again this place will definitely be at the top of our list. Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!

The food is always amazing and staff are helpful in all the ways needed. Especially when an item online wasn't on the app - was able to order with no issues.

I had their carne asada, (without the spicy sauce). It is consistently the best I've had. I've been coming back for several weeks, and it has always been delicious!

Always a great meal. Cactus is remarkable with their consistency of dishes, regardless of location (but Madison Park is the original, and our favorite).

I really enjoy this place. The food is very good, comforting and filling. I do find it odd that they take your food away to box it to go, instead of giving you a box and letting you do it yourself. Sometimes I want to do it myself so I can avoid boxing the things I don't want to eat later. Service is always excellent. Very pleasant experience.

Food is somewhat underwhelming. Quite salty. I didn't enjoy my casa salad and clam chowder.

UPDATE JUNE 15TH 2025: Had a delicious quesadilla and a margarita with an old friend. We come to Cactus approximately once a month to catch up and grab a bite together. The food, service, and atmosphere is always great. We sit outside whenever possible but outdoor seating is limited. It is never too loud we can't have a conversation unlike some other places. All around an adorable and pleasant place to have a meal and catch up with family and/or friends. You can also get your meal to go and eat at home or on the grass down at Madison Park Beach!
I love this place. The chicken fried chicken and pickley pear margaritas are my go to

Worst burrito I’ve ever had in my entire life!!!! Take some pride in the food you make, who would allow a burrito to come out un rolled, definitely not a Mexican cook, paid 50 dollars to eat slop. Order chips and salsa and got chips with a splash of salsa. No napkins or silverware. This place has gone down hill over the years. I would have got way better food at the food truck down the street. I definitely felt rushed out and not welcome to be there and all i did was order food. I highly don’t recommend this place. The way they treated this burrito is how they treated me

Been a couple of times. Atmosphere is nice. Service is standard.
Food....seems like they took the Mexican out of the food. Rice taste like it comes from those Ready Rice packets from the store. Black beans are meh. Tortillas were just not it.
Enchiladas are pretty good.
Pozole is okay but did not taste like Pozole. More like something you would eat with a grilled cheese sandwich.
Best thing they have going for them are their drinks and maybe dessert.
Wife and I felt like this place boosted our confidence in our own cooking. We actually make better food than this.
Great food, INCREDIBLE service. Manager helped us out as he said the bar was a bit slow (I didn’t even notice). This man is super hardworking—the bathroom was briefly out of paper towels and when I came out, he was standing there politely ready to refill the paper towels immediately. Love this place, will be back.

Pretty good chips/guac and their fried chicken was also very tasty! Staff are helpful and ambiance is nice. On a side note, those tables are a bit too sticky

Excellent and friendly service. The food (especially the potatoes) was a bit lacking on this day, but the brisket itself was excellent.

I love the fish tacos here, other parties loved the brisket tacos and one thought everything was good not great. Do have outdoor seating.
