Cactus Cantina Gulf Shores

The overall experience was great. This is not authentic Mexican (being from TX we tend to look for that first). But they offered great service, a fun atmosphere, and delicious food! They have a great hot salsa which you can pay extra for, but the chips and salsa were great! Chips were off the fryer hot! We ordered the 3 Amigos appitizer and the Texas fajitas. It was more than enough food for my husband, my little one and me. The meats were all flavored well. If I was able to go back, which I definitely would if I was closer, I wouldn't get both of the same. It seemed like the same thing in different forms. But we enjoyed them anyway. We also got the Chimichanga Cheesescake it was drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with whipped cream. I may have been in a sugar coma but it was excellent! Like I said, we would definitely go back if we were close by. *If you're from Central NJ, it gave me a Jose Tejas vibe. Not as good, but similar.

Food was delicious ! Best Mexican food eaten in a restaurant, rice was very authentic full of flavor, tacos were good , portion size very good . Quick friendly service. Nice atmosphere. ?? love it!

Their drinks weren't too fancy the place isn't to bad and i really loved our waiter ???? bathrooms are a little small but that's out of managements control lol... the chips are so crunchy ????, but over all the place is kinda touristy ???? but the food came extremely fast which was really nice ????

Absolutely amazing. Stop here if you love good quality food and vibes. Wonderful air conditioning, marinated steak tacos are a burst of flavor and love. Super cool salt and pepper shakers. Unique decor. 100% recommend. Went here during a bachelorette trip.

Came here during vacation in Gulf Shores from Ohio. My husband had the seafood burrito and I had the shrimp fajitas. They didn't skimp on portions. Both dishes were excellent and had a lot of flavor. The fajitas reheated very well. The manager was attentive upon arrival and sat us. He sat down at a chair at our table so we jokingly invited him to join us but he was really just drying the chair, hah! Great sense of humor. It was busy as expected on a Friday night and the atmosphere was nice.
