Diner notes
4 out of 5
Hubby and I ate here on a sunday evening. Considering we were the only ones in there, it did take a little while for us to get our food. Our waitress was very friendly. The chips and salsa were delicious.The queso was good. The rice was ok but I didn't care for the beans or the guacamole The carne asada was OK but it had no seasoning. The strawberry margarita was good. The prices were reasonable. Very clean

Pros: chips and salsa are good. They have the best chicken fajitas in Lafayette. It’s not usually busy. Cons: the service is alright but the servers are generally friendly Overall a good experience here

We'd driven by Cactus often and always wanted to go and finally took the opportunity, and it was great! The food was so delicious, everyone was so nice (they even put Monday night football on for us), and the atmosphere was authentic and welcoming. We'll definitely be back!
