We have been to so many local Mexican restaurants around the Seattle area and have finally found a great one! The margaritas were awesome, the salsa was homemade and the rest of the food was sooo good. We...

Tried Cactus Wednesday night for dinner - there was a one hour wait. Forget it. Had lunch there the next day and still had a 15 minute wait. Wait staff is overworked. Took forever to get chips and salsa. The...

I gave these guys a 2-star review back in '05. Well, I've since been several more times and am happy to say they've cleaned up their act. Their service is better, the drinks are better, and the food is great....

The environment is fun but the service is terrible and I didnt enjoy the food at all and it was way overpriced for what we got. The most terrible thing was the brownie for dessert... I dont know who would...

Finally a savvy place to eat on the Eastside. Excellent food and service. I have never had such delicious chicken prepared as the Chicken Fried Chicken. The Pork Adobo is also mouth watering. Be sure to order...

I have always enjoyed the Madison Park Cactus - and now have a reason to cross the bridge to Kirkland! Love the new decor, great interesting and delicious food and tasty well made drinks.

I love the Madison Park Cactus, unfortunately the Kirkland location is nothing like it. At Madison Park, I've never had a bad dish. In Kirkland, I'm not sure if they can make a good one. In the future, I'll...

We originally went to try the cocktails after reading about the bartender in Seattle Magazine. While the cocktails were great (the bartender had the night off) we were very happily surprised at the quality of...

The food and drinks were outstanding. I had the Pork Adobo and my companion had the Chicken fried Chicken. Both dishes were well crafted with balanced flavors. The service was prompt and courteous, the drinks...

We had dinner with a large group. The service was casual but prompt, but it was busy so that was OK. The Tappas were generous and well prepared. I had the Chile Rellenos and found them to be very well prepared...

We were thrilled to find out Cactus opened in Kirkland. There just aren't enough good places here. We think Cactus is, most of all, a great deal. We never spend more than $40.00 for the two of us (appetizer,...

I went there a few months ago with my son (who's 6) and my husband. We ordered the fried green tomatoes which were really wonderful, but that was where the fun stopped. They had nothing kid friendly on the...

Ok, so I've only been there once (Kirkland). The atmostphere was nice (decent music too) and the oaxaca was good. Oh, and our server was great. But the reason for going there is to have good food, and well,...
