The food was juicy and tasted good, but not very seasoned. If you’re looking for authentic this isn’t your place. The building itself is adorable with a lot of character. We sat on the roof and had chicken enchiladas and steak fajitas. The staff was very friendly. $52 for our two meals, 2 beers. Complementary chips and Pico.

If you are looking for good food this is the place to go. However, it is very dirty. My partner and I got dirty menu’s. The menu’s had old food in them that weren’t wiped out. Like legit old food. And the silverware was dirty. I had to ask for a new fork. ALSO THE BATHROOMS ARE DISGUSTING!!! Especially the women’s. Only one door closes and it was gross. It felt like they hadn’t cleaned it in a week. The food is amazing though. Just bad sanitation.

Our party of 6was asked if we would mind eating in the bar, which we did. There was a noticeable smell in there, which to me smelled like chlorine. There was a large sign that advertised a daily special for $5 margaritas. We each drank 2 during our dinner, thinking we were getting the specials, only to find out when we received our bill that the margaritas were only that special price if you ordered them at the bar yourself, so we we charged a full price of 9 or $10 each. Where we were seated, i could have reached out and touched the bar. I told the waitress and bartender that I felt the sign was misleading. They pointed out that next to the large writing for the special pricing, in teeny tiny letters it said “at bar only”. It was almost impossible to see. My Baja salad had a greased soaked shell, tough steak and tasteless fillings. Not impressed Cactus Grill.

We had a wonderful dinner in a terrific Potsdam landmark. My wife and I had not been to the Cactus Grill and Cantina for many years. The staff was very attentive, the service was quick, the food was great! A wonderful place for an evening out.

Waited 40 minutes to get into here to eat, came here with 3 friends tonight. Ordered 3 burrito bowls and 3 tacos. They brought out the burrito bowls which looked good for my friends and no tacos waited about 5 minutes and finally the waiter came out and told me it’d be about 10 minutes for the tacos because they “messed them up”. 3 beef tacos with lettuce onions and cheese… After an hour and twenty minutes waiting to eat here and get my food I finally decided to cancel my food and go else where. The waiter who tended to our table never came for refills or checked on how the food was and couldn’t tell me what half the stuff on the menu was. Horrible experience

I had a pretty good experience at Cantina. It’s always very packed, which can be a good and a bad thing. Because of this, the staff are friendly but very busy. One of the waiters is very funny. The food is mediocre and expensive, but it’s decent enough. Good drinks, very pricey. Too pricey. Discounts are the only thing worth going for.

I did not like the food at all. I was NOT expecting authentic but this still was terrible to me. No flavor at all, the food was dry and burnt. The service was not good at all. The waiter didn’t even bother asking how the food was because he saw we left it all. I do NOT recommend.

Both the food and service were terrible. After waiting for over 40 minutes to be seated, and observing the host seating other parties who had clearly arrived after me(who did not have a reservation), I only waited because I was feeling nostalgic. To my disappointment, I quickly learned that this is certainly not the same establishment that I enjoyed and dined at, frequently, as a Clarkson student. The guacamole tasted sour and the shrimp in the Rosarita were dehydrated and overcooked. What happened to the quality of food and service here? I was so excited to be back and the whole experience was a total let down. I have no desire to ever go back when I return to Potsdam. Sad!
