Food

When you visit Cactus Restaurants think of your time here as an impromptu vacation. A substantial part of our menu is devoted to antojitos, bocaditos or tapas—small plates perfect for sharing with friends. From there we hit on standards from the Southwest and Mexico: fajitas, tacos, and enchiladas.
