Great place for a quick dinner with simple, delicious Mexican food. And the horchata was excellent. It was a little hard to hear the orders being called out. Highly recommend. Excellent value.

The BEST hard tacos in the Bay Area. OMG, I almost can’t order anything else. The shell is always so good and homemade. The fillings are flavorful. Mmmmm! My photos don’t do them justice.

I go here a little too often. Very reasonably priced, lots of vegetarian options, their crispy tacos and enchiladas as particularly good. And the service is very friendly and cheerful.

The steak tacos are so good here. Crunchy and filled with a lot of romaine lettuce. Just nd to eat it carefully because your food will begin to fall out from the other end of the other side of the taco. I’ve noticed the prices have risen, but it is still very reasonable. There is usually a line to order your food. After ordering, go toward the pick up area to get complimentary salsa and water and utensils. The place is constantly being bussed by a designated person. Lots of families eat here. I would definitely go here in the future.

Food is decent but way over priced and everyone that works there seems to be bothered whenever you have to ask for things. The tacos are good enough but $50 for 2 soft tacos with shrimp that looks like it came out of a can, a generic salad with chicken & avocado and a bowl of lentil soup is pretty ridiculous. There’s far far better Mexican food to be had at a fraction of the price. Would not recommend.

I like Cactus, it’s a fun place to go in a fun area. Food is pretty good and it’s an easy place to just pop by and have a casual meal. Ordering can be a little bit intimidating at first – it’s kind of loud sometimes and the lady who is often at the register comes across as impatient, so good to get your ducks in a row before you get up there (there’s a menu on the wall next to where you wait in line).

Went because family wanted to. Belly is across the street though and if I were you I’d go there instead. The pork belly burrito is killer.

great selections, prices are very fair, portions are good. IMO their pork (carnitas) is the best meat. only minor complaint is things are on the salty side.

For place to pop in a get a quick bite to eat, this place deserves five stars. It’s one of those down and dirty places that makes eating Mexican food in California a real treat. I’ve eaten here dozens of times and the quality of the food is consistently good.

Nothing special and a little expensive, but fine nonetheless. Very nice sit-in area, too.
