Reviews for Iron Cactus Mexican Restaurant and Margarita Bar in San Antonio, TX

Delicious food, well prepared, well presented. Marissa was the best server we had all week. Love the guacamole made fresh at our... table side. Fun, colorful cocktails and a tempting dessert menu. Rich creamy chocolate mousse topped with fresh strawberries andcream or key lime tart with mango coulis? Have both! Read more

Nice restaurant that serves Tex-Mex dishes. The place was crowded when we got here so plan ahead. The server we had was very... nice and helpful. The dishes we had were very tasty and a good portion. The only bad thing about this place is their drinks.Don't even bother ordering alcohol here. I paid $15 for "Iron Cactus" special margarita and it came in such a small glass. I'venever seen such a ridiculous sized margarita in my whole life! Read more

Very popular restaurant along the River walk. My friends and I really enjoyed this place, the drinks were great and so was the... food. The steak with avocado and elote was definitely my favorite! I've never had a favorite restaurant along the River walkbecause there's just so many but this one here is in my top 5. Read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and what a great experience. We had a fantastic server! I loved the ambience here. The drinks... are good but kind of small for the price. The food was really good. The lobster tacos were an absolute hit! The Mexican Meatloafis definitely a must try. It had so much flavor. Very nice size serving of mussels as well. He even made our guacamoletableside! Read more

Host was snippy, attitude of - you need to wait, despite multiple open tables (15 minutes). Was served fair normal but good... salsa, chips mediocre. Mexican meatloaf only the salsa topping and street corn earned a star. The meatloaf was cold, way overcooked, and had a burnt top. The jalapeno/ bacon mashed potatoes were scraped from the dried film at the top of the steamercontainer. Lastly, they through fresh cilantro on top. Menu doesn't mention cilantro, so if your not a fan plan on spending alot of time picking it off. Waiter didn't even offer to exchange. Not worthy of a $$ 4.1 rating. Read more

Very good Mexican restaurant on the Riverwalk. Nice to sit outside in the evening and enjoy the Sun setting. Also less wait for... outside than inside, probably because of the heat. Would explain the water mists that are setup to cool down the areaaround. Customer service is excellent, friendly and very helpful. Top prices for the items and just enough for a singleserving. Overall enjoyed the atmosphere, light crowd on the Riverwalk and birds cruising through for food crumbs in between thetables. Read more

This definitely is an exquisite place to visit in San Antonio. I definitely recommend sitting in the patio Next to the river. We... had a toddler and they didn’t allow us to sit outside since it was for four people only max and our toddler counted as a fifthaccording to the host. Besides that the only thing that could have been improve is the lightening. Our waiter was very courteousand efficient in everything he did. He made sure our cups were never empty and ensure we were satisfied. We got our dishes atperfection. Taste was on point and everything was warm and just perfectly seasoned. The fajitas-steak were a two person menuitem and had both corn and flour tortillas along with garnish. Read more

Had a client in town yesterday and chose this place to take her to dinner. It did not disappoint. Bryan was our server and he... was phenomenal. His presence snd service was an absolute delight. I tried the Southwest Paella and it was delicious. My clienthad the Shrimp Tacos and she loved them. I can't remember the name of my margarita but I loved it! Read more
