Good traditional Tex Mex. If you’re vegetarian be sure to switch to black beans white rice!

Juan is the man! Always ask for him as your server.

Cactus Cantina, located near the Washington National Cathedral, offers a Tex Mex dining experience with a lively atmosphere. While some diners found the food to be average, others raved about the flavorful dishes and great sauces. The service was hit or miss, with some customers experiencing long waits and others receiving attentive and friendly service. The margaritas were a point of contention for some, as they were made with pre-made mix instead of fresh lime juice. Overall, Cactus Cantina offers a decent Tex Mex experience with a large dining area and outdoor seating, but be prepared for possible service hiccups and crowded conditions.

For a Tex Mex cantina, it?s decent. Not all dishes are good; the tortilla soup was watery and tasted like a canned soup, and my brisket tacos were too soggy. We...
