Cactus Cantina

Brunch -

I am a vegetarian, I would definitely not suggest this place for veggies. It isn’t worth it and they are not even ready to customize the meal. Too much cheese In all veggie food too.

Friends ordered fish taco and Enchiladas thinking that wouldn’t be messed up, indeed it was.

Pinãcolada all time fav drink had no taste.

Would definitely not recommend to any vegetarians out there, not worth the price.

Good food and fun atmosphere! I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican food I've ever had, but it's tasty.

Table seating wait time was satisfactory and the staff were very attentive and helpful on showing the menu and deal offerings for the day.
In general, the Mexican food was flavorful but not 100% representative of authentic foods that could be offered by food trucks or businesses to the East of this restaurant. Without embargo, the portions were great, there was a wide selection of drinks and the scenery was impeccable.
For the area around the Cathedral, I would recommend Cactus Cantina as a safe Latino option for when you explore the plentiful neighborhoods and businesses that are accessible by Metrobus and walking.

Airbnb host recommended this place. The salsa was better than most and all three of us enjoyed the food. Would come back again. Sound level inside was getting higher at 2:02 Sunday afternoon as more people were arriving. Could still have a conversation, but if you use hearing aids outside may work better. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade.

A rather nice Mexican place that offers great options at DC prices.

They have fun quesadilla options like crab quesadillas, classic fare like enchiladas and tacos. I had tacos al pastor, and I was a little disappointed that they didn't have pineapple options, but their margaritas for $11 are pretty strong and good! I also really liked the complementary chips and salsa.

The space is rather large, so it is easy for a big party to visit.

Great place and they take care of you.

The waitstaff is very tentative and great recommendations. Their chips and salsa was fresh and supposedly make it everyday!

Wish they had seated us better. A round table and square table don’t join well.

Great place for family's & friends.
Friendly & helpful staff/servers.
The food menu is huge with lots of typical mexican options and dishes. Could be a little smaller, though, to not get confused while choosing what to eat. Had mixed grill Fahitas, which were tasty, but could have more Mexican spices & aromas. The portion size is more than enough to get full. Complementary Tortilla Chips with and outstanding Salsa where super good. Margherita super tasty.
Overall a 5 start experience.
