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 ****
We came for brunch and everything we tried was fabulous. I loved the Peach Bellini Margarita drink I had and my fiance enjoyed his Moscow Mule with the housemade ginger beer! My breakfast enchiladas are one of the best dishes I've enjoyed lately, I added the chorizo and it really elevated the whole plate. My fiance had the Ancho Chicken Tacos and his was really good as well. Others at our table enjoyed the Brisket Burrita and the Chorizo Skillet Scramble. For dessert we shared the Key Lime Pie. Overall a great time, fantastic service, and the food came out quick even though they were rather busy. We will definitely be making this a regular spot for brunch!

This was an amazing restaurant the ambience in this place was breathtaking the lighting the art the service and then the food as the topping because it was certainly delightful the drinks are amazing as well I will definitely be back it was my birthday and I truly enjoyed myself.
I love Cactus, mainly because they have amazing mocktails. The food is yummy as well. That ceviche was on point. Great place to connect with friends and break bread together. Been going for a few years now every so often.
I'd walked by so many times and never thought of going in until this afternoon when my friend and I wanted to continue enjoying the sunshine while we snacked. All we got we're chips, salsa and guac, which were great. But the wonderful surprise was the mocktail menu. As people who are both cutting back on alcohol consumption, the mocktails were perfect for us and will be the reason I make a point of going back.
I really like this place, the bartenders “ Philip and Courtney “ have a great costumer service,👍🏼👍🏼 food it’s really good.
El Diablo shrimp and the seafood enchiladas were absolutely awesome. The gaucamole with cheese sauce was pretty good too! The pic of the seafood enchiladas is a half order. My wife and I split a plate.
Delicious food and drinks! The staff is wonderful and really cares about giving you a good experience. Today was our first time finally going here after living in the area for years. I ordered an enchilada which was amazing and my husband ordered a brisket burrito. Unfortunately there was hardly any brisket in the burrito so that it was pretty much just rice and beans, but my husband let the waitress know to bring it to their attention and she brought another serving of brisket (after also offering to remake the whole thing) and then the manager approached us and apologized personally. She told us she spoke to the kitchen staff, she brought us a complimentary flan which was delicious and unbelievably creamy, and when we received the check they had even taken the burrito off our bill! We really appreciate the service we received and the food is truly delicious. We will definitely be back again.
