Bad experience written by anonymous
Last visited this restaurant on July 16, 2008

The food was awful, steak so tough we could not chew it. over priced and did not even include a salad. Service was ok but took a long time to get our steaks I guess because it was so overcooked and we ordered medium.
I was disappointed and will not return.

many times here kind of hit and miss written by hbcherylsh
Last visited this restaurant on August 12, 2008

I have been here many times. Sometimes the food is great and sometimes very bad. The last 3 times here it was awful. Food was cold, shrimp was so undercooked and service was awful The clam chowder tasted old and the lettuce was soooo bad. When i said something they said they were busy. Maybe this place is too busy now to serve good food.

Excellent! written by Stef
Last visited this restaurant on June 08, 2008

we ate at this place the other night and I have to say we were very happy with the food. The young lady that waited on us seemed young and inexperenced but she was sweet. The service she provided was not the best but she seemed alittle nervous Im assuming that she is new. with that said we did really enjoy the food and will be back for sure

Had a really great time at the bar the other night. My friends and I went in for some drinks and just to hang out. The woman behind the bar suggested a few diffent things that we had never heard of before. I stuck to the simple while the girls went for the unknown. We all had a great time this place is great!

Talk about heart written by Rita
Last visited this restaurant on March 29, 2008

I was at the cactus the other day and they were having a benifit for the young girl that passed away after choking on her tooth at the dentist office. When I inquired I learned that the meal was donated to the poor family and friends of this little girl. I was so touched to hear that they were doing this. I am impressed that this place found it within there hearts to do that. I just wish that there were more people in the world that would put the needs of others before their own.

My family and I had a special event at this place and I want everyone to know that they really took great care of us. Not too many places can provide the quality food and excellent service for large groups that they did and did an outstanding job. Thank you Cactus Cantina for making our event a complete success!

Just do ONE type of FOOD i.e. mexican,steaks etc written by michellezd
Last visited this restaurant on February 22, 2008

Been in this restaurant twice now and have found it coping many of the areas other restaurant menus items. Because they have alot on the menu THE RESTAURANT FAILS TO LIVE UP TO ITS TRUE POTENTIAL, it is hard for a small place to prepare and cook food well,they have TOO much on the menu. Hint rember this "KISS" "Keep it Simple Stupid" Don't try to be a Cheescake factory, Yardhouse or even a PHWoods. These concepts do it well because of its size and talent!

went in Friday night for a couple of drinks and a something to eat. There were 6 of us and we couldn't decide what to get the menu is so big! we decided to order different things and share. They give you so much food we were able to taste all of it and we agreed that every dish was delicious! This is a very nice casual place to dine. I think everyone agreed that this is a great place!

I agree because the food is outstanding! written by CactusFan
Last visited this restaurant on October 20, 2007

I agree with Nicky the food at the cactus is excellent!
I take my girl there every friday night and sometimes I just go in with friends. I too have tried almost everything on the menu and I have always ALWAYS enjoyed it.
The people are friendly the prices are fair and the food is fresh and of high quality. Don't be fooled but what anyone says go in and try it for yourself. I'm sure you will be glad you did.

Food out of a BOX and/or CAN written by CACTUS
Last visited this restaurant on September 27, 2007

The food taste like it came out of a can or it was frozen food. I have been there a few times and ordered something different each time and I had the same result each time. It's seems like they hardly use any FRESH products, except the obvious salad,onion,tomatoes etc... It's fast food quality at Cactus Cantina. I will never return.

We loved it! written by Razzo
Last visited this restaurant on July 25, 2007

Took the whole family in to the cactus cantina for the first time and I have to say that everything was perfect!
The service was quick and very friendly. The prices were fairly low compared to others so we weren't expecting anything "special". Boy were we wrong! The ribs are fantastic and the shrimp was great! We all had different things so everyone picked at all the dishes just to check it out and everything was great!

I think the cactus cantina is a very nice place to go for food and or drinks. The people there are very attentive to the customers needs. I have always had very good service. The food is to die for and the drinks are refreshing. My friends and I all agree that the Cactus Cantina is one of the best places in Riverside for dinning and cocktails!

Great stuff written by JimP
Last visited this restaurant on July 03, 2007

The food at the cactus is great. My family doesn't get to go out to eat too often these days (we just had a baby)
so I went in for some take out. My wife called it in and then I took our son to go pick it up. I only waited five minutes for them to put the order together that was great. When we got home and unpacked everything we had an excellent meal. Before the baby we used to go in to dine a few times a month so we weren't surprised and how good the take out was. As soon as we are able we will be going in again. Love this place!

I brought my son in today after 6 grade graduation. The whole family thought the food was excellent and my son really enjoyed his meal. I want to thank the management. The people here really know how to take care of their customers. When the meal was over nobody rushed us out we just sat and talk. When we were ready we got the check and was surprised at how reasonable it was.

Last visited this restaurant on June 14, 2007

Some friends and I were in last night. Had a great time!
We watched the game and enjoyed some of the best taco's we've ever had! And they were cheap :) I could spend so much more going through the taco bell drive thru. We really enjoyed the pleasant fun atmosphere that they have here.
So, for now on when I want a taco Im going to the cactus!
for sure

My recent experence at the cactus cantina was GREAT!
I've been in a few times since it changed over from Iguana Joes and I have to say there is a major improvement! Texas Looseys was OK but Iguana Joes was terrible. The new owner has done an excellent job. I can't tell you how much better this place is. I will be back!

Great! written by Angels
Last visited this restaurant on April 14, 2007

This is a great place for the whole family. Their menu is very large and contains a wide varity. There really is something for everyone. My only complaint is that sometimes the music is a little too lould, but not all the time so I can't really say anything bad. My kids like to play the game in the corner wich gives us alittle time to relax after out meal. I like that.

I took the kids in for lunch today since they're on spring break we figured we would take in a movie and then have lunch.
We usually go in for dinner but I've got to say we really enjoyed our meals. The lunch specials are perfect. This is really a great place for the whole family any time of day!

I took the kids in to the Cactus cantina last week during spring break. It's the first time we've been there. The service was quick and the waiter was sweet. I can't say enough about how well this young man did. He was very attentive. I really enjoyed the attmosphere and the prices are fair. The kids menu had alittle bit of everything and my children ate it all. I would recommend it to anyone that wants to have a good meal at a good price.

Breakfast too written by AnnieR
Last visited this restaurant on March 25, 2007

Hi I am a regular for dinner and drinks at this place. But I never went in for breakfast till today. We had a bunch of running around to do this morning and I didn't have time to make breakfast so, we decided to try breakfast since everything else is always so good. Im glad we did. Our meals were great and as usual the service was outstanding. I just found out that they have been serving breakfast on saturdays and sundays for awhile now. Im so glad because I don't really like the IHOP and CoCo's has really been a disapointment lately.
