Cactus Restaurant Review: Enjoy Mexican food in an upscale setting at this colorful neighborhood café. Brightly lit with lanterns and strings of chili pepper lights, Cactus has a fun and festive interior. Standard dishes are given surprising twists, such as in the wild mushroom quesadilla with goat cheese and caramelized onions, a butternut squash enchilada with mole rojo, and bacon-wrapped, goat cheese-filled jalapeño peppers. Additional favorites include braised brisket tacos, chimichangas, and chile rellenos stuffed with goat cheese and toasted quinoa. For a sweet finish, the cowgirl brownie is topped with vanilla ice cream, or walk the path of temptation with bananas caramelized in brown sugar. Other locations. |
