So everytime we have attempted to go to Cactus, we are met with dissapointments! The wait times have either been too long or the place is full so I got the idea that they must be feeding all Tacoma inhabitants🤪 Well today I showed up and lo and behold, not only did we get a table but the place was quite Empty to my surprise. We had the pleasure of getting a good waiter " Christine" she was friendly and helpful and kept checking up on us. We decided to see what the hype was and explore the Menu. My pallate is quite adventurous and am all about the flavors. For starters we ordered Peruvian Prawn scallop ceviche , The Austin style Guacamole and Crab 🫔 tamales. The meals came pretty Quick and Let me put it this way, the pairings on the Ceviche, the layers of the various ingredients ,used was just divinely so good. 👏 Now am used to the traditional Guacamole but Cactus had something else planned. Their 3 layers Guacamole with Queso, salsa, Chipotle peppers was so Good!! And a must try. The Crab Tamale has to be the most creative way to serve tamale that I have seen on my foodie adventures. There was Crab, then a 🫔 tamale ontop of sweet corn, sherry tomatillo cream sauce, avocado, mixed baby heirloom tomatoes, lemon vinaigrette, micro arugula. It was absolutely delish. The combination of flavors and texture was everything. We did not just have a meal but a Journey into the heart of the chef's who prepped this meals. For desert we had the Banana dulce with coconut ice cream and the manager surprised us with a complimentary Flan as well . ***So overall we got great service and a wonderful meal experience *** ****Thank you Cactus ****
