Cactus Cantina

This place was definitely busy and it had a line but you can see why. The food is always amazing, and they get it to your table so fast. No matter which location i go to it usually only takes like 5 - 7 minutes after we order to get our food. They are so consistent with the quality and speed. Amazing. Will go again.

The food came out lightning fast and was delicious. The boom boom shrimp tacos (3) were the best I've had. My wife ordered fish tacos (2), and enjoyed them. My sons had the California and Texas burritos. I'm not kidding when I say they took up the entirety of the plate. Lastly, my wife is very picky about salsa, and she loves their salsa. Will definitely come back!

What a Gem! The food was awesome and plentiful! The waitress recommended getting anything with the word “Texas” in it and she was right! I had the Texas burrito and the flavor was outstanding! Grilled onions, shrimp and chicken along with two sides was more than enough! My wife had the chicken quesadilla and it was packed with chicken. In fact, she said if we lived down here it would be hard not to stop in once a week just for the quesadilla! They bring fine thin chips along with a great salsa for dipping. In fact, we asked for another round it was so good! The interior has huge TV screens around the entire restaurant and bar area so you will not miss a single game! Very nice and attentive staff! Great food and atmosphere makes this place my come back to place when I visit Orange Beach again!

On my visit, they were very short, I guess due to the worker shortage. They had 2 waitresses for a semi-packed house and they did a good job. I was a little disappointed that all the hostess did was seat use and give us menus. With them short, she could have gave us silverware, drinks and chips while we waited. We had Kathy for our waitress and her service and the food served was very good. We will be back and if we have to wait (not to long) we will.

My experience at this restaurant could’ve been much better. The wait was 40 minutes because they claimed that they were low on staff. When we finally got seated, the waitress asked for drinks and I ask for a lemonade, but received a sweet tea. later, when the waitress ask for our orders, I asked for “Cactus Tacos” soft shell, and 2 tacos, but I received hard shell and 3 tacos. After telling the runner about the hard shell, it took so long, both my parents were done eating. When we noticed my food was still not present on the table, we asked the waitress to go check on the food, it took another 10, then the tacos finally came out. Since it took so long, I had to ask for a to-go box. Forgetting to mention, my father asked for pico de gallo when he ordered his tacos. He didn’t get it till 5 minutes before the bill came out. Unfortunately, we were still charged with the tacos even though they came out the wrong one.

The fajitas were good. Guacamole was excellent. I'm giving them 3 stars because they tried to serve us old chips and salsa that were sitting on the table before we even got there. My friend noticed them on the table when we signed in for the wait and commented thinking it was for another table. Nope, that's where they sat us 20 min later with the same chips.

Meh, was ok, first time eating here. Prices are decent, waitress was nice. I had the boom boom shrimp tacos, there were 3-4 shrimp on each and were just fried with sauce on top of the taco, not tossed; good but better if like the menu described. We got the large cheese, it was very thin, milked down without much flavor. We also had cactus bowl and seafood burrito, both were liked. My wife liked the chips and salsa, which were chilis version, and her chicken taco. Daughter ordered flautas, they brought something that looked like taquitos, and he said that first, then insisted they were flautas. We didn’t know better til later that she did get wrong order, so he didn’t care or lied. Ah, forgot the sides, the refried beans were like a bean sauce, and cheese grits smh, just a spoon of cheddar cheese sauce - the grits were not present.
