Cactus Cafe - Selbyville

We've been coming here for a long time and have never been let down. Excellent food (especially the fish tacos. That sauce is yum! the waiters are always very friendly and remember us even after not going for a while. We've tried just about everything on the menu over the years and it's on point. The inside of the restaurant is your typical Mexican joint. It's clean and there's a lot to look at. You can even write your name or a little something on the walls. Their sangria and margaritas are very tasty. They also give you complimentary chips and salsa which is made in house and delicious. This is our go-to favorite when we want some good Mexican fare. They also have items on the menu that are not so Mexican but still delicious. Especially anything with their crab imperial. The only thing I would complain about if I had to would be that they skimp on the sides for fajitas (lettuce, cheese, sour cream . They probably give you enough for one fajita, perhaps two if you spread it thin. All in all, great food and great service!

We used to frequent Cactus Cafe since the early 90s. Excellent food, friendly staff, fun atmosphere, good prices. We recently visited and were very disappointed. We didn't feel welcome, staff were brusque. I love reggaeton but the music was deafening. We asked if it could be turned down a little, which it was but then turned back up. The new menu is completely different and very limited. It also doesn't match their online menu. My daughter's quesadilla was half the size it used to be (same price). I ordered a Ceasar salad with blackened tuna. It turned out to be a garden salad (wilted iceberg lettuce, some tomato and cucumber, some bland dressing (not Ceasar) and no parmesan/croutons. All in all disappointing and we miss the friendly atmosphere from before.

Margaritas and food are excellent! Will definitely be back! Live music is a plus. Service is friendly and prompt. One of the best things on the menu is the fish tacos. Ask for Sam. He will give you a free margarita refill. This has the Mark of approval.

Excellent! For both the sophisticated and kid-like palates; great salsa, the chimichanga was just delicious, and the chipotle chicken was sabroso!

While I previously added the pics of carnitas from the new ownership much has changed. My husband and I frequent the establishment and every visit the service and food has declined. Tonight the waitress was more interested in socializing then accommodating the guests. My steak quesadilla had minimal steak and cheese to the point it didn't even stick together. Out of the 5 pieces only three had steak. My husband ordered two tacos with a side of rice and beans. The rice and beans came out and not the tacos. It took 10 extra minutes to get two tacos of which the waitress knew she was missing. We asked for the bill three times and we're ignored until we my husband went to the bar and told them we were leaving. This is super disappointing to us because it was one of our favorite places. It's time for Manuel to come back.
