We loved our lunch, this is definitely going to be our go-to restaurant when visiting our son. The choriqueso dip is perfect. We also recommend the Crazy Chicken, Chicken & Rice, and Shrimp & Rice. Portions were generous, prices are reasonable, service was good, and beer was cold. Thanks, Senor Cactus.

This restaurant gave me diluted iowa Mexican food vibes. I would use the word “authentic” loosely. The menu was missing many Mexican favorites I’ve eaten at most restaurants. The queso is delicious! Although it’s weird that they put queso on most of their chicken dishes. Also weird that some menu items some with rice not rice and beans. Pictured is the chicken fajitas and the garlic chicken. Overall food was really good but I could enjoy some of my Mexican favorites because the restaurant didn’t even carry them which I found odd. Also chips didn’t seem like traditional freshly made chips I’ve had they were thicker. Would maybe return, I’ve had better Mexican food in Iowa city for sure.

Don’t see a photo of their yummy chimichanga posted on here so thought I’d share. So many yummy dishes to choose from. My guy ordered their garlic chicken and loved the taste. His only complaint was having to cut the chicken to put in their fresh tortilla wraps but still was worth it. Lunch for two with soft drinks totaled to a little over $29 without tip. A good sit down place for lunch if not too in a rush and just want to enjoy a freshly cooked meal.

It’s probably too picky, and maybe I was hangry, but the one waitress walked right by us several times without even saying we’ll be right with you, or acknowledging we were waiting for a table. Food was served promplty, was delicious and hot. Maybe it was a language barrier, maybe they were understaffed. I will definitely go back. Even with the service we had, the food was incredible and she kept our drinks filled.

I’ve gone here too many times to count and the food has been fantastic every single time. This has become one of my favorite spots to go with my partner and I love the chill atmosphere. The plants throughout the restaurant are so nice and I love the rotating decorations throughout the year. The prices are also very reasonable.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a Mexican restaurant within the Iowa City area. Thank you, El Señor Cactus, for making several special weekends for us!
