The Fat Cactus Mowbray - Cape Town

Fat Cactus is never a disappointment; from the staff to the food, to drinks, ambiance! My favorite spot especially because it’s vegan friendly :D

I had been meaning to visit Fat Cactus due to its popularity with varsity students and fortunately, it’s close to UCT, Varsity College and AFDA. Upon arrival, Dacia Dee Hassan welcomed my table of 10 and was, overall, very accommodating. The restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere and maybe this is linked to the daily Happy Hour special that they run from noon until 18:00. Nonetheless, the menu is pocket-friendly and after sampling their margaritas and Nachos Grande with Buffalo Chicken, I can certainly say that their drinks and food menu is great! Given the popularity of the franchise, a reservation is recommended.

I ordered from OderIn so there wasn’t much restaurant experience, but I must say these nachos were yummy. The restaurant also delivered a good portion of sides. Their guacamole, salsa and mince were enough. I could even finish them. I am definitely trying out this restaurant again.

Friday lunch with colleagues. This is my work hangout spot. Love it here. Good food, awesome frozen margarita jugs.<br/ <br/ I had the calamari, amazeballs and poppers starters. Super tasty. The rest of the table ordered wings, quesidillas, burritos, corn fritters and more amazeballs . Really good Mexican food

A nice surprise being from the TEX-MEX capital of the world, TEXAS! Greeted in Spanish, nice surprise; late afternoon seating, took a bit to get service then drinks food arrived promptly. Huge portions have vegie fajitas grande nachos..food was flavorful, hot generous. Offered suggestion of “chips salsa” as in the States! Over all fun experience, filling enjoyed watching the “street” pass by on the patio! Thanks guys!!!
