Reviews for Cactus Cantina Gulf Shores in Gulf Shores, AL

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 attentiveupon 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 dryingthe chair, hah! Great sense of humor. It was busy as expected on a Friday night and the atmosphere was nice. Read more

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 bachelorettetrip. Read more

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 thechips and salsa were great! Chips were off the fryer hot! We ordered the 3 Amigos appitizer and the Texas fajitas. It was morethan enough food for my husband, my little one and me. The meats were all flavored well. If I was able to go back, which Idefinitely would if I was closer, I wouldn't get both of the same. It seemed like the same thing in different forms. But weenjoyed them anyway. We also got the Chimichanga Cheesescake - it was drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with whippedcream. 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.

Went in to catch the World Cup Qualifier match and sat at the bar. The bartender switched over a TV to the channel I requested... which is nice. I was offered chips and salsa which I accepted. The salsa was okay. I like mine spicy. I had seen streettacos mentioned on the chalkboard outside when I walked in, so I asked about them and the bartender said they were the best. Seasoned steak, cilantro, raw onion, and lime wedges. So I ordered them with a margarita. I let the bartender choose and itwas the Cactus Margarita. Later I tried the more expensive Knockout Margarita, and the Cactus is the way to go tastes better. Street tacos were good but again not seasoned enough for my tastes so I requested hot sauce to assist. Overall food is good,staff is attentive. It was spring break and I don't think I saw anyone waiting to be seated. Read more
