Take out order was not complete (missing nachos). I forgot to check the bags at the restaurant and didnt realize until we got home (which was late) and my husband and I were exhausted so I figured I would call the next day, assuming of course they would make it right. When I called the following day the man who answered the phone was unprofessional and countinied to tell me that it was "against the rules" to do anything about a missing order unless it was called in right away. He proceeded to explain they would have delivered missing nachos out same day. (Im sorry sir, but I dont want to wait 45 mins to eat cold food.) 1

Im not a certified expert, but every dish Ive had from here tastes very authentic and always fresh. Every new person I bring here always makes a remark about how delicious and creamy the guacamole is. The portion sizes for the main meals are huge and I always end up saving half of whatever I get. My favorite dishes include the chicken enchiladas, all enchiladas are served with rice, refried beans, sour cream, onions & cilantro ($7.75) and the Arroz Con Pollo ($7.25).

ingredients in the burritos are top notch and the bbq rib burrito/enchilada are simply superb. Their real underdog player is the half peruvian chicken. Served with 3 side dishes (my favorites being white rice, black beans and a side salad) is enough for two people or leftovers, at under 8 dollars, its reasonable, wholesome, quick, and oh so savory. The only problem is when i have my heart set out on the rotisserie chicken and they run out!

I give it three stars because I simply love the food and yellow sauce too much. But the service there is the absolute worst. The people at the cashier act like theyre doing you a service by taking your order and they are often slow. My orders are regularly given to me incorrectly. Yellow sauce and carne asada burrito are on point though. Check your order when the give it to you, there is a high probability they messed up.

The quality of the ingredients is far beyond any chain mexican restaurant and light years beyond any fast food place. The peruvian rub chicken is the best rotesserie chicken I have ever tasted. The chicken soup has spices that will melt your mind in ecstacy. This is truly a diamond in the rough. Best of all the price for such high quality food is surprising. $6-8 for a meal is usual.

Run dont walk to this restaraunt. From the outside it looks like a simple strip mall take out place. On the inside you are transported to ol Mexico for a feast! Perhaps the best enchiladas Ive ever had, and that includes Texas. Great gravy. Lunch special comes with sides, a drink all for under 8 dollars. Do not miss the peruvian chicken or soup...spices that you have never experienced!

Food is great. Their one downfall is their inefficient way of handling orders. For example, i can go in and order just a soup. I will then pay and have to sometimes wait fifteen minutes. I dont care that people ordered before i did. Just quickly get me my soup and then we are done. Dont have me wait in order of when i placed it. Get the easier or smaller orders out first if possible.

Great food and good pricing, although recently the prices have risen. The service however is a little lacking. The employees are somewhat dismisive over the phone and will usually put you on hold for anywhere up to five minutes. In person is the better way to order but is still a lengthy process. But the food is worth the wait. Only "fast" mexican food I will take out.

This is my FAVORITE PLACE EVERRRRRR!!!!! Everyone that works there is awesome and the food is equally awesome! Its always super fresh and theres really no way around that because they always busy. There is no product sitting around in THAT place! The food is delicious and the environment is casual with cool rustic tex-mex decor. I have never been disappointed.

Been ordering delivery from here for the last 5 years. Quality tex-mex & bbq at a fantastic price!!! Ive explored most of the menu and cant say I was displeased with anything. My favorite are the burritos and the nachos. Excellent nachos!!! ...which is pretty sweet since Ive only had delivery.

Very good take-out Mexican. Quick to get your order out, everything is fresh and prepared on the spot. Great BBQ ribs too and the Arroz Con Pollo is enough for two hungry people. Not great for eating in, but if you do, make it a little better by ordering the Sangria.

Great place for Tex Mex, wonderful quesadillas, black bean chili, soups, ribs and lots more. Homemade guacamole, salsa, corn bread that make this place worth trying. They also deliver. There are a couple if small tables to sit but its more if a take out place.

Used to be my favorite burrito but this place has gone downhill. The burritos are all rice (which is usually undercooked) and is just not flavorful anymore. Also filled with high school lacrosse bros that are always loud and take up all the tables.

Food is always cooked fresh. Everything is great from the soups, salads, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chicken....etc. They will also modify mostly anything. Friendly staff. Huge portions. Inexpensive ($5 burritos after 10pm)

This place should win some kind of reward for best Tex Mex and best sangria . Not to mention portions are huge ,prices and customer service are also great. I cant say anything bad about this place. Its just amazing.

I have yet to come across anything that was not delicious. And Ive been ordering from Cactus Cafe for almost 6 years. Everything Ive had from the menu is fantastic.... I recommend it to "all" my friends....

The food is great and affordable! I had an issue and the manager Kayli got in contact with me right away to make it right. Theyre very helpful people that care about providing quality service.

Everything is made fresh and onsite. Sometimes you may have to wait for 10 minutes for a table but dont let the "take-out" line stop you from waiting.... so worth it. *Soups are excellent too!

This is the BEST Burrito place in Nassau! Ive had burritos from Manhattan to Suffolk! I choose CACTUS CAFE as the best! Go for the Beef Burritos, Flan, and Chicken Corn Chowder!
