Honestly, I would give this place a 10 out of 10. It's amazing. The food quality is top-notch. The service is great. Had a great experience as my second time of visiting this place. I have really enjoyed it thoroughly and I cannot really express how much I really enjoyed the spot really would recommend everyone who desires any type of Mexican food to come and visit a cactus café they would not regret it! The Ambiance is amazing music adds a nice atmosphere read more

First time running into this place. Going to have to be back again! Great lunch special, veggie enchiladas, side salad, and a fountain drink. Nice staff. Cozy restaurant. With good amount of seating for the area. read more

The food was really good - would return for the food. The service was subpar. Ambiance was good until the restaurant got raided by a group of 30-40 highschool boys. read more

Cactus Cafe - Chicken meal - Mexican Near Me - Port Washington, New York

Food is decent when it's done correctly, but the service here is HORRIBLE. There is one guy, I think his name is Jason?, short guy w highlights, who takes his job seriously--every other person at that place does not give a FUCK. They are rude, incompetent, and SLOWWWWW, I'm talking wait 30 minutes just to get a bean burrito (literally just wrap beans and cheese in a tortilla) at 11pm when there's hardly anyone in the restaurant. They screwed up my order AGAIN last night, I order the same thing almost every single time, and they manage to fuck it up constantly--of course there isn't anywhere on the site to give feedback/ask for my $$$ back. They need Jason to run a boot camp and whip these other bums into shape, otherwise they are surely losing $$$$$ and customers. read more

I always get the black bean burrito, and it's honestly amazing every time. The flavor is perfect -- super fresh, filling, and not too heavy. I usually make it enchilada style, and it takes it to another level -- all that sauce and cheese on top just hits different. Service is always amazing as well! What makes it even better is that on UberEats, they have BOGO burritos, so you can get two for the price of one. Super affordable and such a great deal for how good the food is. Definitely one of my go-tos when I'm craving a solid burrito! read more

Ordered from here off Uber with a deal. That was some good food and Cactus got it right!!! Ordered the carne asada enchiladas for myself and hubby had the smoked pork enchiladas - My meal was totally delicious. The cheese melted with the refried beans was tasty and not heavy and the tomatillo sauce on the side that I ordered was definitely worth the .60 cents. So fresh and spicy ! I would order from here again. read more

We have been there for my lunch break a couple of times . I typically get the shrimp tacos and my husband likes the pulled pork burrito. The food is really good and affordable. The service is great there always so nice and the ambience is very cute and true to the culture of the food . We always get a small dessert to share and it's great . There's a huge parking lot seeing as it's in the center of a shopping center . read more

Cactus Cafe - Mexican Near Me - Port Washington, New York

Affordable, especially after 10pm. $5 burritos and bowls! The nachos are great and if you're getting take out ask to have everything packed up separate so you can mix them yourself and they don't get soggy. They have an absolutely delicious corn soup, the house wings are spicy and good and you can grab a can or two of beer to go. Open till midnight and we go here a lot! Plenty of parking and easy to pickup or sit inside read more

Great authentic food. Portions were plentiful as well. Location is in a strip mall with a few tables but easy parking

If you go at anytime when its busy its not worth it. The workers stand in the back looking at you like a deer in headlights, even when theres a big line. I ordered my bowl and it took 30 minutes. The bowl was half full and barley put chicken in it. read more

Cactus Cafe - How much food my bowl came with. - Mexican Near Me - Port Washington, New York

I love their food. And that green spicy sauce. Wooooo! I always order to go. Never ever had an issue with the orders but last time they messed up our order. We are vegetarian and they gave us meat! I was so incredibly upset. You know that feeling when you are starving and craving something and then wow can't eat it! Sitting there smelling it excitedly but can't eat it. When I called they offered to make new ones but we were no longer in the area. And I was starving! I certainly was not driving back. Not sure how it got mixed up. I get it at places like Taco Bell but here?!! They offered to cancel the payment. Guess what!!! They never did. Shaaady!!! And honestly they should have cancelled the payment AND given us comped new orders. Because that's a big mistake to make. It's not like the sauce or a topping was missing. Food is good but now I question them when they say their food is fresh etc since they lied about payment cancelation. So I guess like Taco Bell the food is good but you just don't know whose food you will get. read more

Been coming here regularly in summer for several years now. This place is a 10 out of 10. The food and drinks (rum punch!) are awesome and the service is friendly. read more

Great rotisserie chicken and sides-the yellow sauce is the best!! Hibiscus drink is perfect accompaniment read more

No one in the store and the people stand in the kitchen doing nothing. Came in when it was dead empty, and it took 40 minutes for a bowl and 2 tacos. Need a change in service before people with less patience catch on. read more

This place was surprisingly delicious! My husband and I had a quick lunch here. We ordered the chips and salsa, which by the way the salsa was truly packed with flavor outstanding! Hibiscus tea was very refreshing. I sadly was not able to take a picture of the Carne Asada burrito that I had and my husband had the smoked brisket burrito. Both were really good and tasty. There was a slight hint of heat that was just perfect! Ambience was nice with music in the background, colorful decor and overall we had a great time! read more

Cactus Cafe - Delicious!! - Mexican Near Me - Port Washington, New York

Zero stars. Ordered online for my son, came to pick up about 30 min after it was ready and was told that they got rid of it. They told me to wait until they re make it, I could not wait. Never again read more

Just had tacos here and there was HAIR IN MY FOOD. Sorry, they just lost a customer. EIWWWWW!! read more

** Take Out Only ** Office staff and I ordered a couple of times here. We love the feature of choosing a day/time you want to pick up your order. We've ordered Chicken quesadilla - flat, shredded chicken, cheesy, not much flavor except the toppings you choose. Beef quesadilla - same as chicken quesadilla except filled with shredded beef. Peruvian chicken - lots of season, nicely roasted, not so dry, tasty. Smoked chicken - ample amount smoked flavor, juicy, unique bbq taste. Salad - fresh: lettuce, shredded carrot, cucumbers, black olives, tomatoe and guac on top! Refried beans - basically bean purée, good. Smoked beans - light smoky flavor, not too sweet, tasty. Mexican rice - nothing special, can taste overly dry. Salsa - fresh, spice level just right, but skimpy. Wings - Buffalo, bbq, cactus house : all tasty sauces, sauced enough, meaty wangs. Jalapeño cornbread - 2 huge pieces, nicely buttered, crispy topping, faint Jalapeño flavor, not too dry. Waited after a few orders to review this place... Based on brief pick-up orders, staff has always been welcoming, helpful and friendly. You can see a good portion of them cooking / preparing food - pleased with their level of sanitary/hygienic work flow. Taste wise, they aren't the best of the best, but pretty delicious to my surprise. Service is fast and staff friendly. Reccomend! read more

Cactus Cafe is a total gem and I'm happy to support a local business that works hard to serve up good food and reasonable prices. It's one of the places in town that my fam of sausages can agree to go to unanimously. Burritos are solid, though the rice can use some more quality control, and the tacos are solid too. Love their chicken soup and can't go wrong with their quesadillas. Delivery is fast and everything is always packed securely. Even eating in at the store, when we were allowed to, is a fun time and the staff is really nice too. Side note: Door Dash however SUCKS ASS! Totally a waste of a delivery service. The delivery people are rude and have zero people skills. They left my big order on my doorstep but never called me or rang my doorbell or knocked on my door to say they were here. The restaurant has zero control over them so don't blame them for door dashes faults. read more

Amazing fresh food. Friendly staff. Stopped in to grab lunch on a Sunday and was very pleased with the experience. Everything was well priced and delicious. Definitely will be back. read more

I love this place an order frequently but the last two or three times I've ordered my order was completely wrong.

Ordered takeout. And delivery was hot in bag. Haven't been inside of the place, can't speak about the ambiance. Food that was received, wow awesome. Taste great and filling. What more to say, when it feels like you made the right choice for your evening! Keep it up great work, looking forward to ordering other dishes now. read more

Love this place, however, the last few weeks their yellow sauce tastes different (more oniony or sour, not as spicy) which is making me like it less. I don't know if it's a new recipe or what but please bring the original sauce back please. read more

Food is good but the staff is so extremely rude, it's infuriating. My friend has an allergy and they called in their order, the staff told him that he was too bad at calling in his order. They scolded my friend for not knowing the menu or what the food had on it even though he would've died if he ate it. They didn't even offer to make him new tacos without his allergen. The lady with blonde hair was such a nasty woman and she should get fired for her attitude. This is not an isolated incident, the other cashier lady is also very rude. They lack any kindness and are so rude, it's honestly disgraceful to the restaurant. If you want Cactus I genuinely would suggest going to their other location, at least they treat their customers with respect. Their ambiance is just filled with judgement and disgust as if you, the customer, are in the wrong for sitting and eating. They even have an attitude when bringing customers their food. They should be disgusted with their behavior. read more

Incredibly inconsistent. I feel like the few times I've gone, the ingredients they have on the menu are not what they put in their dishes. Something is always missing. Decided to give them another shot tonight. What a waste of money! It was delicious the first time I ate there, haven't had a good meal since. read more

Best tortilla chips in town! Always cheap, reliable, and filling. Love their full moon specials and limeade! read more

Take out joint, food well cooked, tasty, and reasonably priced. My recommendation, order the black beans.

Brightly colored restaurant with roomy booths, an extensive menu, and friendly service. Food was affordable and delicious. Kid-friendly space, and all-gender restrooms. Especially enjoyed the freshly grilled shrimp and fried fish in the soft tacos. Chicken burrito with cheese and sour cream was full of flavor. Restaurant is across the street from the cute walking path along the bay. read more

Glad to have Cactus Cafe finally in Port. Used to go to the one in Glen Cove, but this one is closer. The prices are really great and portions large. I like the 24 smoked cactus wings for $16.50 and their $22 two whole rotisserie chickens with 3 large sides! They also have so many meat options here! I like the carne asada, smoked pork, smoked brisket for tacos and enchiladas. Also they have Texas style bbq chicken and ribs. I look forward to trying their breakfast too. read more

Terrible food & service . I ordered something and the cashier wasn't paying any attention which is unfortunate because this happens at every cactus cafe location. chips were over fried to the point where it was hurting our teeth, tacos drenched in sauce . When asking for a new taco the waitress seemed very bothered . The environment was also lacking, the lights kept flickering the whole time and no music was played . This is by far the worst catcus cafe i've been to. read more

Very happy to have cactus cafe in port Washington, as you couldn't find a good burrito nearby before this opened it. I enjoy the chicken and steak burritos and the quesadillas are good too. One of my kids dislikes onions and is very disappointed with cactus cafe because they can't make anything without onions since it seems to be mixed into the steak burrito or quesadillas no matter what. Would be great if they fixed that :) read more

Superb food! Friendly staff! Fair prices and portions are good. I'd recommend their tacos, wings, and salads, all are delicious!

The food is very tasty and its always been hot/warm on arrival. The staff are nice and very accommodating. The service is quick and all orders that I have made here have been accurate. The environment of the restaurant is nice as its filled with all sorts of color and decorations. The place feels modern, clean, and it exudes that classic Tex-Mex feel. Overall, Cactus Cafe is one of my go-to's in Port Washington. read more

Once again, can't decide what ingredients they'll put on anything for delivery. Ordered refried bean tacos which used to come with beans, cheese, and pico on a flour shell. Now, they come with old corn tortillas, lettuce, and no cheese. read more

The person In charge of making sure the correct orders go out to the correct place should be fired. I got the wrong order delivered to me, devastation is an understatement. I had never been more excited then immediately more disappointed then ever. Fast service tho read more

get the cheese fries. so good for after the gym. you need to try, love this place their guac is yum

Steak burrito !! Always perfect and chocolate cookies are the hidden gem never disappoints So good always hits the spot read more

Food is good..........some day's much better than others and ambiance is really nice and people for the most part are friendly.

Good burrito, tasty and okay prices. Lunch deal is the way to go. Will go there again.

The food at cactus cafe is quite good, but it's main selling point comes from it being a major source of the night life in the nearby area. It's half priced burritos after 10pm provide fantastic late night snacks for anyone in the area. Their burritos are good quality and the service ranges from quite fast to nearly instant. Their complimentary condiments are quite good as well. Definitely a must-eat for anyone out in the area late at night. read more
