I had an absolutely, positively, extremely phenomenal experience at Cactus Mexican Grill. The staff is very quick and professional and will have your plate ready in less than 5 minutes. These people mean business. I’m more than proud to recommend Cactus Mexican Grill to anyone looking to enjoy real quality Mexican food in East Boston.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Found some street parking in the area a block away from the restaurant. Establishment has a pretty short menu, and some indoor seats. Tacos were pretty standard but I do think they give you a nice portion of protein with each serving. Service was also very quick. I tried to order the lengua taco but they didn’t have any when I was there (Saturday lunch), so I settled for a chicken taco instead. This place is more of a order to go or eat quickly inside. It’s super convenient and close to the blue line.

Absolutely fantastic! The food is incredible and the staff are great. A little Spanish helps, but not essential. Everyone was happy to see us and we had fast service and great food.

Awesome burrito, point and order style. They will customize to your liking, the regular size is plenty but if you are really hungry get the large size.

Food portion is great here. A medium to go plate: White rice, beans, chicken wings $9.00 they also throw in a couple of tortillas for you. Good flavor, friendly quick service. Wings felt slightly salty, everything else on this plate was on point. If you’re looking for a place on the go, this is a good spot to go to.

I asked how the salad was made. The woman told me: lettuce, tomato, avocado. That’s it. I asked for grilled chicken and they drenched the salad in dressing. When I asked for a new one, the server said that’s how salads comes. When the “description” says none of this. Not coming back here again. Specially when the servers are rude

Excellent casual Mexican food joint. It’s not easy to find good Mexican cuisine in the Boston area. Been eating at this Maverick Square staple since 2009. The quality has remained consistent and above average.

We were in the neighborhood looking for breakfast and found this no-frills gem of a place, ordering the traditional breakfast set. Always nice to try something for the first time and truly enjoy the experience. Glad we chose it over the fastfood joints and Western breakfast places nearby.

My mom used to work here and the place is welcoming she made the tortillas here around 2016?-2020 and now is a master at making them I always heard work stories from here. Also here a tip for you, they have a another restaurant in Chelsea called Tijuana Mexican food so maybe give that a shot I heard that from her as well. I basically know the ins and outs from these 2 areas. The end
