Cactus Cantina Gulf Shores

Went in to catch the World Cup Qualifier match and sat at the bar. The bartender switched over a TV to the channel I requested which is nice. I was offered chips and salsa which I accepted. The salsa was okay. I like mine spicy. I had seen street tacos mentioned on the chalkboard outside when I walked in, so I asked about them and the bartender said they were the best. Seasoned steak, cilantro, raw onion, and lime wedges. So I ordered them with a margarita. I let the bartender choose and it was the Cactus Margarita. Later I tried the more expensive Knockout Margarita, and the Cactus is the way to go tastes better. Street tacos were good but again not seasoned enough for my tastes so I requested hot sauce to assist. Overall food is good, staff is attentive. It was spring break and I don't think I saw anyone waiting to be seated.

EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to describe it. Service was amazing. Very friendly. Food was phenomenal. I highly recommend the Piña Fajitas.

We went here for dinner while on vacation in Golf Shores?typical Mexican style decorations and setup?we really enjoyed sitting on the patio and eating dinner. The food was well prepared and very tasty!! Our son had tacos and my wife had the street tacos?I had the Enchiladas with white sauce. All was very well prepared and the service was great. We will be back, maybe before we leave this week!!

The overall experience was great. This is not authentic Mexican (being from TX we tend to look for that first). But they offered great service, a fun atmosphere, and delicious food! They have a great hot salsa which you can pay extra for, but the chips and salsa were great! Chips were off the fryer hot! We ordered the 3 Amigos appitizer and the Texas fajitas. It was more than enough food for my husband, my little one and me. The meats were all flavored well. If I was able to go back, which I definitely would if I was closer, I wouldn't get both of the same. It seemed like the same thing in different forms. But we enjoyed them anyway. We also got the Chimichanga Cheesescake it was drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with whipped cream. I may have been in a sugar coma but it was excellent! Like I said, we would definitely go back if we were close by. *If you're from Central NJ, it gave me a Jose Tejas vibe. Not as good, but similar.

Food was delicious ! Best Mexican food eaten in a restaurant, rice was very authentic full of flavor, tacos were good , portion size very good . Quick friendly service. Nice atmosphere. ?? love it!
