While the servers were kind and pleasant, I wish they would take the time to pronounce the Mexican dishes correctly. The food was good, but as a person who is used to authentic, I’ve had better. However, I wouldn’t mind another stop in to try other dishes. The atmosphere was cute and fun. The drinks were pretty good. All in all, I enjoyed my time there and considered it money well spent.

Just your basic Tex-Mex chain restaurant. My Ranchero Burrito was good, but small. So we’re the sides. The Cactus cheese grits are really good. Good place if you want a quick Mexican fix on the island.

Our server was Lakyn. She was super sweet and gave us exceptional service! I had the California burrito with a large cactus margarita (huge and tasted so good!) , hubby had Texas Fajitas. All of it was seasoned perfectly. Literally some if the most flavorful Mexican food I’ve had! Portions were so big we had a lot to bring back. We’ll be back!

Everything was excellent including the food and the service. Our group loves Mexican food and can be very particular. We were very happy and satisfied with the freshness and flavor of everything — margaritas, cheese dip, and entrees. The beans and rice are delicious. The complimentary chips and salsa were packed with flavor! Would definitely come back again!

BIG fan of cactus cantina!! Even when they’re really busy the food is always consistent & service amazing. I love Queso & have cravings for cactus cantinas cheese dip all the time (especially living in south Florida now) this restaurant is definitely a go to on my trips back to Alabama. I love The street tacos as an entree but everything is good to try at least once.

Horrible, disgusting and cold the food was simply disgusting. The service one of the hostesses pulled the menu away for me while I was reading it to place a to go order and this is the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had in my entire life. I guess the hostess wanted me to leave so they served me garbage but I am unsure why the food was so bad I gave them a 25% tip on my way out and was so disappointed in the pick up I received from this restaurant do not waste your money

This restaurant is an interesting place to go and eat. Seems as it was designed with the tourist in mind but doesn’t quite fit the norm of Orange Beach because of how they treat their customers. Upon arrival to an empty restaurant we were greeted and then sat in the very back of the restaurant we are guessing because we had a baby with us. The place wasn’t clean, the service was subpar and honestly we were treated as if they wanted us to leave. The food wasn’t terrible however, what you would normally expect from an establishment of this type. My recommendation? Seek an opportunity for a meal elsewhere because they are unappreciative of your business and if you have children with you the back of the restaurant next to the employee break table will be your home. Cheers!

I absolutely love Cactus Cantina. But a little FYI. If you buy one of these cups at the Beach Front road location it IS NOT accepted at the other locations. The deal is you pay 10 bucks for a margarita and the refill is 5 bucks. It’s a heck of a deal but you have to go to the beach front road location to get it. Either way. I ain’t mad about it. Still love Cactus Cantina.
