We had a wonderful time at Cactus Cantina. We walked in and was seated immediately. Now it was a nice crowd it's also ample... seating. Now ita a typical Mexican menu but presentation , combination of flavors and taste is very unique. The atmosphere was family oriented with huge video games and flat screen surround the place. You can dine alone or have a banquet thereeveryone will.enjoy. I most definitely will be attending this restaurant again when I go back to Pensacola. I will give a 7out of 10 only because I dint try the bar and one of our orders was delivered late to the table. Read more

Food was very good! Best chips and salsa I?ve had in a long time. Nice, clean and spacious restaurant. We ate outside with our... dog. Our party of 7 was stuffed! Very large portions. We ordered the trio of dips for an appetizer. I?d recommend sticking tothe queso instead. Burritos and tacos came out quickly and all meals were served together. Very friendly service. Read more

Thr environment is very nice as well as the servers there. I ordered the fajitas and other than some of the bottom parts being... burnt, everything was great! They get the food out to you very quickly and they don't rush you to eat! I would definitlyrecommend going here. Read more

Great place to eat downtown!! Chips and salsa were yummy! I love the thin chips. The staff was great and frequently came by to... ask if we needed anything. The food comes out like super quick!! If you want to chit chat and have drinks, hold that order!! Ourfood came out within 5min of ordering so we didn't get to enjoy out chips/salsa/queso! We didn't have to wait for a place tosit. They have an arcade type games, so be prepared if you have kids and now want to play! This place has outdoor seating topeople watch...great drink selection and lots of food to figure out! Read more

I thought I might get an authentic Mexican taste from this place but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with my take out... order which included carne Asada tacos, a burrito and a side of beans and rice. To be honest, everything simply tasted likesalt. There was no flavor other than overwhelming saltiness that led to incredible thirst. The steak tacos looked much moreappealing than they tasted.

Not the best Mexican in Pensacola but its pretty darn good. They have multiple locations, Ive only visited the downtown... Pensacola one. Ive been here a few times for lunch and dinner. All times the staff was nice, friendly and offered excellentsuggestions. Ive enjoyed every meal and drink here. Friendly, fun environment if you want a meal for by yourself, date or agroup of friends. They also have a basketball and other arcade games to play. Cant forget the cactus grits, they are yummy!Definately give the grits a try, they will pleasantly surprise you. Read more
