I only go to the bar regularly for the free chips w/ salsa & savory beans (sometimes guac at an xtra charge) and frozen Smithers. All bar tenders Ive met are fantastic with my specific orders and kind. I wanted to give a special shout out to Leah. She is the first to master exactly how I want my drink as well as the first to ask my chosen name. LGBT fam, if ya know, ya know. Leah is a safe space as well as a fantastic bartender. The place can be loud. Thanks for the fantastic work from everyone overall!

They have delicious steak, the marinade is awesome! I love the black beans as well. The kids menu is about the best deal you'll find. Highly recommend!

The food here is great! Highly recommend the steak tacos! Inside is a little noisy, but the patio is awesome!
I rate this one experience as an overall three. Most of my experiences have been wonderful. After asking the bartender if she could put a particular football game on the tv at the bar, she said she could. After waiting over 20-minutes, I gave up and left. She never provided any explanation as to why she did not change the channel. I would have had no problem if she didn’t change the channel because other folks at the bar wanted to watch another game.

Always enjoy coming here! One of our reliable places to eat. The new spicy green sauce is amazing. Glad that there is that option for us spice lovers.

We used to love coming to Cactus Yaya with friends but they moved away and we had not been in YEARS before tonight…imagine our complete delight to learn that it is still family-owned, the food & drinks are still just as amazing as we remembered, and the service was spectacular - thank you, Ashley!!! We shared our old classic favorites (halibut fish tacos & steak salad) - which were quite possibly even better than we recalled - and the best (Nuclear) margaritas we have had in ages! We were also reminded how much we loved the chips & salsa and black-eyed pea dip - the whole experience brought us back 15+ years in the best possible way. All in all, Cactus YaYa is a rare gem and we can’t wait to come back soon!
