Cactus Flower Restaurant - Front of restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Pueblo, Colorado

Here's my take on Mexican restaurants. Most of them are OK but very few are REALLY GOOD! Folks, Cactus Flower Restaurant is REALLY GOOD! Lemme' tell you. We weren't off to a great start when it took quite a while be be seated and there were many open tables. Once we sat down it still took a cool minute for anyone to come to the table. So for me to give five super stars say how good the food has to be to make up for the slow service. Chips and salsa are a telling sign on how good the food is and they more than passed the test with light chips and salsa so good I wanted to chug a gallon of it! Oh my gosh friends. I was blown away by how good the food was. I had the combo #7. Pork and guacamole, chicken and cream cheese enchilada, a fried flour shelled chicken taco, with rice and beans. I went for the mild medium green chili option and it had quite a kick! Next time, I'll stick to mild. Still, it didn't take away from how awesome it was. The taco was seriously the best taco I've ever had in my life! No kidding! I don't know how I'm going to be able to finish this review because I'm getting so hungry writing it. For dessert, I had a sopapilla. Sopapillas are one thing only a few restaurants can get just right. They should be light, airy, and puffy. These were kind of a combo of fry bread and puffy. Kinda' heavy and not too puffy, but the flavor was fantastic. They're on the pricy side at about $4.25 for one. It's good-sized, so you could spit it but you won't want to because it's so good! I believe it's a family-owned and operated restaurant, so that's super cool. Too bad I live in LA. If I lived in Pueblo I would be there all the time. Bookmark this place if you're ever passing through Pueblo. It's right of I-25 so you can have one of the best meals of your life and continue on your happy journey! read more

My server asked me for food restrictions upon approaching my table..how smart of him to ask before I ordered, I'm a vegetarian and usually I have to ask the server to stop me if I'm ordering something that is not vegetarian. The meal I was served was delicious and fresh..so was the happy hour lime MARG! I had a wonderful dinner and will return the next time I'm in town read more

With the many great options for Mexican food in Pueblo, we chose Cactus Flower which didn't disappoint. At first, we were put off by the impression of being a chain restaurant, but the constant flow of customers showed that this was a very popular restaurant. After a short wait, we were placed at a nice table and quickly greeted by our server Claudia who dropped chips and a tasty salsa and took our drink order. My margarita was big, but lacking a big flavor, switched to Modelo with our meal. I had the Combo #9 which was HUGE including bean tostada, chicken taco, cream cheese & chicken enchilada, beef burrito, beans and rice covering two plates. Delicious and served hot. My guest had the blue corn enchilada plate which was tasty as well. Finished with deep fried ice cream and sopapilla. Highly recommend this Mexican restaurant in Pueblo right off I-25. read more

Great place to stop right off the interstate. We went in for lunch and it was very busy, but we were able to get a seat right away without a reservation. My friend and I each ordered something different and both liked what we got. The service was friendly. We even saw a group that works at another restaurant (their name tags) eating lunch there! read more

Very good food!! Service was good also! It hard to be disappointed here with all the food they offer read more

I ordered to go with a note indicating gluten free. They called me to clarify the order and saved me from getting the chili.

Food was delish!!! Service was absolutely wonderful!!! Mercedes did a great job coming back for refills making sure we were good. Very clean and comfortable!!​ read more

We had a great dinner at Cactus Flower! We had heard from friends that Cactus Flower was some of the best Mexican food in Pueblo, and the food and service definitely lived up to the hype! Our server, Lucas, gave us some of the best service we have had in a long time! When we pulled up the parking lot was pretty packed but we were seated immediately and were greeted by our server very quickly. The chips were warm and fresh and the salsa was very good with just a little kick. The Chimichangas and Chicken & Cream Cheese Enchiladas were delicious and the refried beans and Spanish rice were top notch. Highly recommended, we will definitely be back in the future when we are in Pueblo! read more

The food was great. They were very accommodating to my husband's alteration request. Kid friendly.

Honestly, I thought this place would be pretty decent since the name is so cute, I do think it needs a little bit of work. The green chili is actually pretty decent but the reason why I'm giving it three stars is because I had the salmon enchiladas (I honestly have no idea what gotten into me thinking this plate would be good) and truthfully, it should be taken out of the menu along with the imitation crab and shrimp enchilada. Thankfully, our server was awesome and nice! read more

Cactus Flower is almost always my first restaurant choice while visiting family in Pueblo, CO. The service is prompt and delivered with a smile. The atmosphere is fun, the food and especially the green chile is tasty and the margaritas are delicious. Finally, order the flour tortilla chips. They are extra, but worth it! read more

This is a place of History! We arrived shortly around noon on a Friday and the parking was packed. Luckily, they have a Huge parking lot! Our waitress was Mo, a small lady who knew her Green Chili sauce, which they have in mild, medium and Hot! We had the 7 off the lunch menu, the pork burrito and order a cheese enchilada in the side. All were great! I suggest passing on the mild and medium and get the Hot chili sauce, it has a lot more flavor and really isn't very spicy at all. read more

Excellent service and food. The steak is too delicious to eat just one. Better order two next time.

I don't think I have ever had a bad meal here. The service is always amazing. My go to is always the nachos and my wife's is the enchiladas every time it delicious. read more

Amazing food, great staff, hostess is always very pleasant. My favorite is their tacos bisket, prime rib tacos cooked with Pueblo chilies and onion, get the chilled on the side so they make it fresh. Servers are also awesome. read more

Good Mexican food, with a large menu. Despite being busy, we were seating quickly and our server was very efficient in taking care of us. Our friends have visited for years, I can see why! read more

We have been to Cactus Flower 2-3 times now since moving to Pueblo last month! The food is great, the restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. I loved the queso dip with flour chips - OMG!!! I have tried enchiladas, tamales and stuffed poblano peppers. So good! We also like to get their sopapillas. read more

One of the things I missed the most about living in Colorado is eating at this place. I was visiting friends and went to satisfied my cravings for a Monster burrito smothered in mild green chili with a super chill Dr.Pepper. I was in heaven! My husband ordered the chimichanga and enjoyed it as well. We went an hour before closing time and the place was packed. We waited 20 minutes to be seated. The hostess was courteous and the waiter was fast. read more

I stopped here on my way to the Great Sand Dunes park based on all the great reviews. However, this place was below average when it comes to food. Veggie options are lacking and even the beans and rice are cooked with lard and chicken stock. I ordered a burrito which was the only vegetarian option on the menu aside from fajitas, and it was not appetizing. Service was great and the place is mindful of covid precautions which is a plus. read more

The chicken chimichanga!! I wish I could say I have eaten more things at this place but every single time I always order the exact same thing I had the time before! I do however, always try my wife's dishes and they are just as tasty. This past time she ordered the nachos with shredded chicken. FYI, that is seriously a sharable dish. They were completely loaded and almost a little too much in some places but seriously, is that even a thing that nachos could be too loaded?? No! Currently they advise you to wait in your car after seeing the host stand where they take your info and cell #. We went on a Wednesday night and it was about a 30 minute wait for 4 people. Place is kept nice and clean as always and service is wonderful every time! read more

The lavender margarita on the rocks might be one of the best margaritas I have ever had! I had the Cactus Combo #7 and my boyfriend had the massive chimichanga. Although the plates were huge and you will not leave hungry, I must admit I felt the food was bland and lacked flavor (other than the green chili). The service was great and the prices are reasonable. read more

Food is ok Mexican. Not worth the prices. Staff are friendly but forget things and are a little slow. They also charge you for a second basket of tortilla chips and salsa. Salsa is also horrible tasting. Definitely canned. read more

Love this place! The food was great, the service was great! We live rural and go to Pueblo every few weeks. This will be a regular stop!

3.5 stars. We ordered food online and the instructions said that I would get a confirmation message and email (I didn't get either). Curbside pick up was actually quite smooth. We did ask the lady managing reservations if my order has gone through and it had. I got the cactus flower chimichanga, my brother got the carnitas plate and I got the house special margarita to go. They look at your ID for the margarita. The chimichanga was very good - the sauce on it delicious. It had a cream cheese base. Big portion so took me two meals and a little bit more to finish. The carnitas was dry. Not the best thing we've tried. Portion was slightly smaller than mine. The margarita was strong :) they give salt on the side if you want to make your glass of it. I wasn't too convinced with that salt. So overall, decent, close to home, so more than likely, will go back. read more

I love cactus flower and think the food is good but the issue that I have is when placing a takeout order, there are fees charged that are not transparent when starting your order. I checked the site again and there is no mention of fees for take out but a $4 fee is added when checking out. I understand inflation has hit us all BUT this is ridiculous considering the amount of business this restaurant generates on a daily basis. Can I afford $4? Yes but that's not the point. The lack of transparency as well as the nickel and diming type fees that have popped up are getting to be too much. I shouldn't have to pay to pick up food. I will probably skip ordering from here in the future. read more

I ordered the carnitas plate (and a margarita & a dessert). I was sooo excited to try this place, but what I ended up getting was dry rice, dry refrieds and, you guessed it, dry carnitas. The drink was fine. The sopapilla, underwhelming, at best. I drove six hours and looked forward to a great meal, but, unfortunately, this experience really didn't live up to the hype/reviews. Won't be back. read more

Wonderful slippers Both red and green chili were wonderful Beer is so cold you get a sheet of ice on top Atmosphere is wonderful little bar read more

Almost every time I'm in Pueblo I go to the Cactus Flower. Pueblo is right in the middle of me and my family back home, so we like to meet here for lunch or dinner! I stuff myself on chips and salsa before my food even arrives because it's THAT good. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. My favorite dish is the enchiladas with cream cheese...I haven't tried another place nearby that uses cream cheese. It's heaven! They have many different combinations to try, even some with a little bit of everything. Cactus Flower also has an extensive drink menu that I hope I can try soon. That horchata drink is looking at me in some kinda way... read more

Excellent food! Green chili is delicious and service was great! Flour chips and guacamole were outstanding.

Absolutely love this family restaurant! Great food, authentic Mexican atmosphere! Great location right off the highway! Service was a little slow, however, Very good under the circumstance ( short staffed).. Will definitely be back soon!!! read more

Stopped in after working late to try this Slopper plate I heard so much about. The parking lot was packed at 6pm on a Thursday night so we knew this place had to be good. With only a 30 minute wait due to the COVID capacity rules, we were finally seated. We ordered right away and we each got the slopper. Medium cooked 1/2 pound hamburger on an open face bun smothered in melted cheese and green chilly sauce, basically a deconstructed burger in a large bowl. I opted for the fries vs the beans & rice. If your looking for something to fill you up with some great taste, you have GOT to try the SLOPPER. We were not disappointed and I'm sure you won't either read more

Best Mexican food in Pueblo! The service can be hit or miss, and they charge if you want refills on chips, but other than that, it's THE best!! read more

Nice place. Good food. Moderate service. Friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Prices weren't crazy but not inexpensive either. All in all it's a place to visit, but maybe not frequent. Although worthy of mentioning the place was pretty full. The bar was pretty packed and there are televisions to watch games and events on. This could be pretty fun for a lot of folks. We tried the fajita combo plate. It came out sizzling! Lots of green peppers and onions but the meat was pretty skimpy. Still, it's enough for 1 maybe 2 people. Also tried the juice featured at the table. I went for the pineapple and it was delicious. Although at $6 a glass with no alcohol included I don't know that it was THAT delicious. read more

Even thought the place was hoppin, we were sat down fairly quickly at the bar by staff. Great atmosphere! Drinks served and filled the whole time. Our order was taken and food delivered within 10-15 minutes. Staff were friendly and courteous, never pushy. The chicken and cream cheese enchiladas were amazing paired with a cherry limeade margarita! read more

I wish I could leave a zero. The worst Pork Green Chili I have ever had anywhere, plus it's expensive. I'm from Colorado and that chili had no kind of flavor not to mention it taste like crap. That was really disappointing being Pueblo Chili is my favorite. We live in New Mexico and had an appointment so we stayed at the Travel Lodge across the street. We wanted some good Pueblo Mexican food for breakfast, what a disappointment. Not recommended what so ever. BTW, the server Mercedes was the only bright spot, very friendly and polite. read more

I pulled in here as I was heading south from Denver to New Mexico. The mexican place was really busy so I figured I got the right place, I had a combination which had a beef burrito, a chicken taco and a red enchilada. The enchilada was my favorite but each of the other items were tasty as well. Many of the people were drinking margs so also seemed like a good place if you like margaritas. The food was good and my service was even better. Always there to help out if I needed anything! So if your heading through Pueblo this place will not disappoint! read more

OK do not be scared off by the reviews here! I have been avoiding for months because to be honest, I was scared of the reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised, and the food was delicious! The chili has just amount of right spice and it was piping hot coming out. The pineapple margarita was on point! I had a combination plate because I wanted to try a little bit of everything and it all was fantastic! Definitely give the house special Enchilada a try! The green chili Chicken cheese combo was awesome with Christmas Chili! read more
