Best in Navarre.......can't pass the Mango Shrimp.....staff is friendly and always right there, Salsa and Chips are number one.....I asked the owner what brand he was using and he told me.....it is made fresh every day.........no wonder it is the best ever! read more

Service was great - way to go Elizabeth. Ambiance was also great. The sangria and wine margarita were yummy. Maybe my taste buds were off but the queso and burrito I had, although good, weren't anything special. My parents thought the chips and salsa were above average and my mom thought the queso was she best she's ever had, so maybe I'm just heading into a cold of some sort. I'd go back because it's a lot better than a loud obnoxious typical Mexican restaurant. read more

The staff is wonderful. Excellent food. Very quaint atmosphere. Best guacamole we have ever had. If you are in Navarre, you need to try it, they do not disappoint. read more

I've eaten here twice. Excellent both times. The mahi mahi tacos, guacamole and sangria make an awesome combination!

The guacamole was delish, the pork tenderloin wrapped in a tortilla was very yummy! Definitely will go back and try the fish tacos, they looked yummy! read more

Excellent food, modern decor and friendly and efficient service. Be prepared to wait some nights because it's a popular place. One of the better restaurants in the area although it is a little on the small side. read more

The fish tacos are the bomb, you can never go wrong with the corn hardshell tortillas & pinto beans that come with the meal. Super filling & light! Also the house margs are amazing. They use fresh lime juice! read more

Went here with a coworker on a business trip on cinco de mayo. You'd think it would be overly crowded so the service would suffer, right? Nope. Service was great, but the food was even better. Highly recommend the queso and bean dip! And the margarita was excellent - not fake and overly sugary like at some places. It was authentic and delicious. I wish I had a Mexican place near home that I loved as much as this one! Loved it! read more

A hidden gem in a small shopping area, amazing food. The inside is a bit small not a lot of tables. Service/staff are very friendly. Love the Mexican salad & the Santa fe sauce that accompany it! Only thing I didn't really like was that the chips came from a bag :( but other then that the salsa is great, love the queso with bean dip is amazeballs!!! Other then that a great place! read more

Pretty good! Went for lunch and had the fish tacos. They were good. Will definitely remember this place for the next time we come to Navarre. read more

Cactus Flower Cafe - Mahi tacos - Mexican Near Me - Navarre, Florida

My husband and I ate here a couple weeks ago. He had the mahi tacos and loved then! I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas and thought they were good but needed more flavor- they were bland. The guacamole was delish though!!! We will definitely try this restaurant again! read more

This is one of three of these restaraunts around the area. We have eaten at the one in Pensacola several times, but it was our first visit to this location. The service was good, the decor was pretty much the same as the one in Pensacola, and the menus were the same. Both my wife and I ordered the Fish Tacos, which are our favorites at the other location. While we both felt the food was good, we both felt that the food at the Pensacola store was better than the food that we got here. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, it just didn't quite meet the expectations that we have come to expect at the other location. For Navarre, it is a pretty good choice. read more

This place was decent! It had a more upscale feel than most Mexican restaurants, but I thought it made for a nice dining experience. The queso dip was pretty bland unfortunately, and the salsa wasn't anything to rave about. All of us got chimichangas which were huge and pretty tasty, but not the best. They had a lot of cheese in them, which overpowered the taste of the meat (I had mahi mahi). I also felt they could have used more sauce on them, they were a bit dry. The rice and beans were good though. Overall I think they can satisfy a craving for Mexican food but I wasn't that impressed. I've had better. read more

Amazing food, great service. Salsa is so fresh and one of the best I've had! I ordered the green sauce enchiladas with chicken and eat every single bite. Will be back next vacation for sure! read more

Best spot for American/Mexican food in the area. Friendly service, generous portions and nicely plated. Ask for Ashley

This place is amazing. It's a favorite for our family outings. Decent priced food, amazing taste, and large quantity of food

Absolutely amazing food! The guac and the salsa are so so fresh!! They have lots of options for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike, so everyone can be happy! I loved the veggie tacos! The beans and grilled veggies were so good! They also have wonderful wine margaritas which are totally smooth and refreshing! Highly recommend! read more

Beautiful presentation by a trained chef. However Not Authentic Mexican. Didn't even know what green chili was. No heat here. If you want Americanized sort of maybe Spanish food this is for you. If you want Mexican look elsewhere. read more

The food is was absolutely phenomenal!!! It was truly one of the best meals I have had in a long time! The Santa Fe ranch on the tacos was amazing! The fried taco shell was out of this world! The magi mani tacos is a must! The tortilla soup was soooo good! We found them on yelp and so glad we did! Service was perfect!! You need to come eat here!!! I was so amazed that I am writing this while still in the restaurant!!! read more

I tried to like this place but owners seem to be more focused on their profit margin than making great Mexican food. My bowl of tortilla soup basically had a few pieces of chicken and a lot of tortilla chips thrown in (not even the traditional tortilla strips). Wedge of lime provided was the size of my thumb nail. They can do so much better. read more

We had very good service and good Fish Tacos. The food felt fresh and gave you a lot more than you would expect. A very good Mexican Option

Great spot for family. Nice atmosphere and food was wonderful! Staff exceptionally nice and service was very fast. Highly recommend!

Horrible!!!! Went there and they don't have fajitas or carnitas.... Their green peppers and onions are premixed so you can't get them separated.... Not traditional Mexican food....also they put 5 of us at a table that was just big enough for 4 read more

Visited Cactus Flower Cafe on Cinco de Mayo. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful vacation in Navarre. Everything is incredibly fresh and the staff is so friendly. All the other reviews say the chips seem like they are store bought, and they were just okay. That wasn't enough to knock a star off though! Many of the entrees can be shared and make sure you save room for dessert. read more

Fantastic California-style Mexican cuisine. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and was SO good. The restaurant's decor was tasteful, with several original works by local artists displayed throughout, but still pleasantly casual. The service was superb; the wait staff was attentive but didn't hover over us. I highly recommend that you check out The Cactus Flower Café while you're in the Navarre-Pensacola area! read more

I loved the Santa Fe enchiladas, though I could have done without the black olives. The portion was large (3) plus beans and rice. My husband enjoyed his chimichanga; my sons enjoyed their meals. What a fabulous dinner! read more

Good food and lots of it. Not authentic Mexican food, pure west coast style. Service is slow.

As others have said, this is not traditional Mexican food, but it is really fresh, really tasty California style Mexican food. My husband had the Mahi Mahi Tacos and loved them, I had teh Pork Tenderloin Wrap and was pleasantly surprised with their green sauce. We tried the Mini Chimis as an appetizer, and those were perfectly fried and very tasty as well. Portion sizes are generous, but not so huge that you feel like you're wasting huge amounts of food. Still, both my husband and I brought home a box of leftovers. read more

Excellent! When we walked in it was a much smaller place than we expected but the food and service was exceptional. Our waitress Scottie was efficient and did a great job. We had the mahi mahi fish tacos and as suggested here on yelp, they were awesome! We were very satisfied with our dining choice. read more

We were up in Navarre visiting family and they raved over the Cactus Flower Cafe. Now, I can see why! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and wonderful food! I had the chicken chimichanga and my husband had the pork tenderloin wrap (special of the day) with tortilla soup. All were phenomenal. Another popular dish with rave reviews at our table was the Mexican salad. It looked delicious. We are definitely looking forward to coming back during our next trip up. read more

First off the setup on the inside of the restaurant was nice. I ordered the Mahi - Mahi Tacos, they were pretty good. The service was also great our waitress was really nice. The whole atmosphere and environment was really good, whether it was for a family going out or a one on one lunch. read more

Yelp led is here as we need a meal on our drive from Pensacola to Destin. The food and service were both excellent. Wine-based margaritas were delicious. Our server, Kelly, was exceptional. Get the queso with smashed pinto beans. read more

Wow! We're visiting Navarre on vaca and looked for a fresh Mexican place and this one hit the spot. This restaurant was fantastic. First, our server (actually all the staff) was very attentive. She kept our drinks full, chips loaded and was super friendly. Next, the food was delish! We ordered the medium queso dip, beef tacos, mahi mahi tacos, and the enchiladas verde. All were flavorful and plate sizes allowed us to bring some of the goodness home! Kudos to this little gem!! read more

This place reminds me of the restaurants in San Diego, great food, fresh and the proportions are perfect. I really can't say anything that is bad with it. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Just ate there with friends. Great service and the food was outstanding. Fresh chips and salsa refilled without our having to ask. We didn't have an appetizer or dessert but next time we will. All of us liked it very much.We arrived about 8pm read more

I really like this place! The salsa is delicious, the wine margaritas are to die for and the food is always amazing! I don't mind driving from FWB to Navarre to eat here. Totally worth it! I can honestly say this is the best Mexican food that I've had in this area! I think the only downfall is the small size. The lack of tables can make for a bit of a wait. If you don't mind that, it's wonderful. read more

Cactus Flower Cafe - Beef soft tacos with rice! Yummy!!!! - Mexican Near Me - Navarre, Florida

See all

Pretentious place that pretends to serve what they refer to as Mexican food. Starting with the chips, that are right out of a Santitos bag, to the salsa, which is worse than a jar of generic Wal Mart salsa, it goes downhill. Don't waste your time or hard earned $$ read more

One of the few places in Navarre with good service. The food is fantastic. I'm absolutely in love with their shredded beef tacos with the hard flour shell. I would love to eat there every other day but alas my husband likes more variety. The chips kinda suck but I'd rather save my appetite for my entree anyway. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Love this place. Yummy red sangria! Our goto's are the fish tacos and pork medallions. The lime dressing is good on everything. You can't go wrong. Seriously it's one of those places where you can believe the server when they say 'everything is good'. Super consistent, too, which ranks high for us. Fresh Veg, fresh jalapeños. They'll bring extra spicy salsa on request. read more

Did the take out, while we were waiting we ordered the sangria and wow! Best sangria I've ever had! Very full of flavor and refreshing. I ordered the Mahi tacos and they were delicious! Everything was great! read more
