    Pozole

    To be fair, I would not consider myself to be any sort of expert in Mexican cuisine. However, I did grow up in Southern California and have had my fair share of Mexican food, so take that for what it's worth. I was there on a Friday around 11:30am, because I wanted to try both their breakfast and lunch items given that it was the same price. My preference, come after 12pm for lunch. The tacos (see below) aren't there for breakfast. They seem to rotate items, so some things might not be available on your specific visit. For example, I was looking forward to trying their quesabirria after seeing pictures of them, but they sadly weren't there when I went. Some of the dishes are designed to fill you up quickly. For the less experienced like myself, ones to be wary of: Pozole - tons of chickpeas with just one piece of fatty pork, soup itself isn't bad Tamales - Not dry, good flavor although they're 95% dough with just a sliver of meat. Both the pork and chicken were equally stingy on the fillings Flautas - nice crispy exterior, fun to try but could use more filling, not as bad as the tamales but still, not worth the stomach real estate Favorites: Machaca - super tender meat and oh so flavorful, must try Chilaquiles - thick crunchy tortilla chips with your choice of toppings at the toppings bar. I got pico de gaillo, cilantro, red onions, cheese, salsa verde. WARNING: the red salsa is quite spicy, try a little bit before dousing your food in it Tacos - the absolute highlight. Love that they don't double tortilla. All 3 meats were cooked to perfection. Carnitas were so tender with a nice mild pork flavor. Carne asada had a kicking smoky flavor, and was not dry at all. I've always assumed that being a leaner cut of meat, carne asada is going to be a bit on the drier side, but this has now set the standard for me as to what good asada should taste like. Barbacoa is sooo rich with an intense beefy flavor that just melts in your mouth. Topped with cheese from the topping bar, it became almost too rich. Definitely add some fresh pico de gaillo and onions to balance out all that intense savoryness. Churros - not too sweet, very cinnamony with a surprising mild chocolate filling, optional to add chocolate syrup and/or condensed milk for the more sweet inclined Mids: Menudo - seems to use same soup base as pazole with chickpeas, does have a strong beef offal taste that was too much for me Pork ribs - tender but bland Chile relleno - flavorful with an interesting spongy batter, decent but I wouldn't count it amongst my favorites Chicharron verde - might just be me, but the spongy texture just wasn't appealing Friendly servers that stayed on top of topping off drinks and clearing plates, one even helped me carry one of my plates back to my table on my first round when I accidentally attempted to try too many items at once. If you let them know someone at your table is celebrating a bday, they'll put a colorful mexican hat on them and sing to them too. It's not a big restaurant so everyone's watching :D

    Pork tamales, beans, calabacitas, fried jalapeño corn and flour tortillas.

    Decided to try this for breakfast, bad idea. The food was OK, just not alot of choices. What killed it for me was the price. $32 for breakfast? I mean seriously, that's ridiculous. I had calabacitas, beans and 2 pork tamales. The tamales were OK, not great. The calabacitas were pretty fresh, but no cheese in them which was odd. The beans were good, refried and hardy. Also had corn and flour tortillas, and a fried jalapeño. You can't really mess those up honestly. The tortillas were nothing special to be honest. The one thing i did enjoy was the churros. Very fresh and warm, encrusted in sugar and cinnamon, so good! I would have rated this place a 3 if the price was half off. The service was great, everyone was nice but this place is a rip off.

    Price per adult and child on Sunday at noon.

    We went on a Sunday. Place was full and there was a wait. We arrived at Noon. We asked the cashier if breakfast was still available. She didn't know but asked another co worker. Co worker confirmed they would still have breakfast. They didn't. The servers informed us that at 12pm they remove breakfast items and bring in lunch items. In a nutshell, it was $30 for unlimited tacos, tamales, and gorditas with a drink. Fruit was limited to melon and watermelon. No salads. Churros and mini conchas for desert. If you have picky eating kids, they have really bad pizza and chicken nuggets. I also had a menudo spill on my clothes because the server gave me a bowl on a plate over the counter and it slid off. Luckily the menudo was almost cold. Next trip I asked if I can get it on the side of the counter. Overall, IMO nothing special to come back to. For $30 Golden Corral would've been better.

    Cactus Mexican Buffet Breakfast & Lunch on Sunset Road in Henderson is a great restaurant serving authentic Mexican Cuisine. First time here for breakfast. Love the Comfy Festive atmosphere and the music playing in the background. Prices are $24.99+ tax for Adults. $11.99+ tax for Children (4-10). Drinks Included with Free Refills there is a Drink List on the Tables. Specialty Drinks are available for purchase. A good variety of food options starting with a Gordita Station, Stews from Menudo and Pozole, Rice, Beans, Chicken Enchiladas, Green and Red Sauce Chilaquiles, Chille Rellenos, some Breakfast items, Omelette Station at Breakfast time, Fruit and Dessert Station and Condiment Station. Breakfast served from 9:00am - 12:00pm. Lunch served from 12:00pm - 4:00. Lunch items available from Tacos, Fajitas and more. Nice friendly staff and great service keeping up with the cleanliness of the tables, buffet line and everything else. I like that the staff serves the guests at the buffet line. We walked out happy and our bellies full. Looking for a new restaurant to try this is the place.

    If you are looking for a authentic cozy Homestyle Cooking like you walk into your grandma's house or a friend's house that welcome you to have dinner or party it's like that type of cooking. . When you first enter you will have to pay first and then they will see you and then you go to the buffet line and they will serve you because there is no self-serve. . The buffet is included with soda juice and coffee. I had their coffee and it was really good with spices and cinnamon. Also we did get a Diet Coke as well. . For the buffet line it went pretty quick and did you serve you and ask if you need more portion or less or if you like a specific piece you would just let them know. . I went during Thanksgiving weekend so they did have something special which they did have a whole turkey. They also had a pineapple and strawberry tamale which was different and homemade and it was on the sweet side like a pastry. They also have your Savory tamale as well with jalapeno and cheese or pork tamale. . They also have your Mexican soup like menudo and pozole which was really authentic and I really like the menudo because it has the beef stomach in it. The pozole has a lot of chickpeas and chunks of pork with ribs too. I also like how the garnish was not self-served so you can put as much onions and cilantro and any spices you need for the soup. . I really like their steak fajita with cactus stir fry it was really great and the meat wasn't dry and it was actually flavorful and had a nice tenderness to it. . They also have a lamb leg or beef leg I wasn't sure what it was but it was really great and I do love the presentation where they do cut pieces out of it to serve you. You do not get the bone but there is a big bone attached to the meat while they're cutting it for you. . They also have your chili relleno which was really authentic and it was a great texture and flavor. They also have your chips and salsa with guacamole and different sauces at the bar where you can self serve. . Overall I really like the cooking because it really reminds me of walking into a friend's house that welcomes you to their party and you get to try their cooking. It's very cozy and a nice selection to choose from. The price was about 30 bucks for an adult and 10 percent off for seniors. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

    Trying Out a "New To Us" Mexican Restaurant. Friendly, Professional Service, Good Authentic Mexican Food. "ALL You Can Eat" Buffet, Great Veterans & Senior Discounts. Excellent Menudo. Comfortable Seating Booths. Highly Recommend it. Only Downside is its Only Breakfast & Lunch. We Will Add it to Our Eatting Spots for Our Guests.

    Horchata
    Jenny P.

    Food was very delicious and with many authentic flavors. I was not too happy with being charged 8 dollars for the Horchata since it was nothing extraordinary or extravagant. I think they should have horchata in their included drinks since it is a staple in the Mexican cuisine just like drinking Coke-Cola. The ambiance is nice, good music playing, servers in the buffet area are attentive. The dessert area does need some attention since it is a small area and during my visit didn't get much options besides mini concha's and cookies. Was able to get some fresh churros which was glad to see they offer that. I am glad that a restaurant like this does exist since you can try many delicious Mexican dishes but dont get fooled to pay too much for regular horchata drink.

This is not a place where they provide free chips and salsa and we ordered also ordered some for the table along with the guacamole. Everything tasted fresh, maybe a little too much lime in the guacamole though. The place felt like something between a chain Mexican restaurant and Javier's but smaller. There are reasonably priced dishes or you can get a tomahawk steak as well. There seemed to be something for everyone to choose from in different price ranges. At the end of the meal the bill was about $100 for my hubby and me or $200 for the table including tax and tip. A pleasant place with good food that I'd be willing to return to.

We tried to be patient and gave them plenty of time, but when we noticed that multiple parties who were seated AFTER us had already received their meals, we finally asked our waitress if there was an issue with our order.

And yes, we noticed the difference because when we were seated, there was no one else in that section. What made the whole situation even more annoying was that every table seated after us was Hispanic/Latino, and they all received their food before we did. We're Polynesian, so at that point, we couldn't help but wonder if we were being treated differently because of how we look. Plot twist: WE'RE MEXICAN TOO. ‍ Whether it was intentional or just terrible service, the experience was unacceptable. If you're going to make customers wait an hour, at least communicate with them instead of leaving them sitting there wondering what the hell is going on. Needless to say, we left hungry and won't be coming back. SMMFH. Aikae pendejo!!!

The prices are comparable with other Mexican restaurants we've visited recently. However, they are not very gracious with their complimentary chips and salsa allowing one small bowl of chips and two very small bowls of salsa and bean dip. Additional is $4.00 and definitely not worth it. We thought it was ridiculous and if they didn't make customers pay for refills or give more to accommodate the entire party, they would be perfect! The food was hot, fresh and very flavorful. The portions were generous. They do have a combination fajitas for two but the combination only consists of 2 meats. We just can't seem to find a restaurant that does combination fajitas the way Coyotes did. But, they were absolutely the best we've had since Coyotes. The consensus was that we will definitely come back to this restaurant.
