What Justin Case likes about Cactus Republic:
Really good fresh mexican food with a twist of there own and not plastered with cheese,we had tacos and nachos and very impressed with both meals. Wait staff were pretty average with no attention to customers once ordered and seated but food was worth it. View all feedback. What Evan Lind doesn't like about Cactus Republic:
Dined here for Sunday lunch w friends. I ordered a good value for price corn fritter stack which tasted good - could have used a little more salsa. My husband ordered a naked burrito and was below average. You're better off going to Guzman Y Gomez! View all feedback.

Cactus Republic in Southbank offers a mix of opinions from its diners. Some customers were disappointed with the lack of flavor in their dishes and the slow service, while others enjoyed the fresh and authentic Mexican food. Despite mixed reviews, many raved about the burritos and quesadillas. The location is praised for its convenience and the prices are considered reasonable.
