Cactus Flower Cafe - Pensacola

Found this place with google maps and it did not disappoint!! Great California Mexican and excellent service! Excellent parking and Happy Hour 3-6pm

Went here a few weeks ago. The menu is an enhanced Chipotle in my opinion and food quality is okay but prices are almost double what you'd pay at Chipotle. We did have a party of nine but service was quite slow, multiple people received wrong or missing items and server was not attentive.

I used to love cactus flower but they are the most inconsistent when it comes to making the exact same menu that they've had for years. Despite the years of having hit or miss food orders i still never left a review and kept coming back (only because pensacola has very limited options) but honestly this small thing that happened today really got to me so now it's time for the honesty to come out. I ordered a steak salad with the lime dressing. I love this lime dressing so I paid $1 for 2 extra lime dressings. The salad comes with a larger sauce container and you only get the tiny containers despite the high price tags. To make it worse, all 3 containers were filled half way. And as you can see in the picture, I was able to pour all 3 contents into the large container because they filled each one only half way. This is the cheapest, most insulting move a restaurant can make in my opinion. Im done with cactus flower. Also how are the chips stale all the time?!? This is probably the easiest menu item ever! To add to the list, the queso is bland, the tortilla soup is way over salted (I threw it away), and we ordered chips and salsa and they gave us barely enough chips for one person... I count 10 whole chips total. The rest are crumbs.

My office treats us weekly with a family meal from locally owned restaurants and Cactus Flower is by far the one I look forward to the most. Their catering is spot on! I recently went in while taking family to the nearby airport and it was a lovely experience. We were taken aback by how well customers and the friendly staff knew each other. The food is also spectacular!

This is my first time at this restaurant. I loved it! Great staff, food, and ambiance. I recommend the Mango Shrimp and the Queso Bite appetizers, Burrito Bowl for your entree, and Cactus Berry as your beverage. Not to miss!
