Recently went back to NY and had a great visit over the summer. The food was fresh and good flavors and textures and a lot of it. The prices are decent. It was very hot inside during the summer so that was not super great but everything else makes up for it. The service we had was really great as well and helpful with a few of our question. Solid margaritas! And of course this great cheese pull with that queso. When we visit back home we usually make a stop at Cactus Grill and Cantina ! Adding video shortly :)
Fish tacos on taco Tuesday. Winner, winner fish dinner, baby. Tequila and corona round out the night.
Outstanding Margaritas made fresh by bartender Alex. Outstanding food! Outstanding service! Great atmosphere! The only negative comment would be that the salsa was a little bland. Fajitas, chimichangas, burritos, and tostadas fantastic!
The food and service were both top-notch. Our group of 5 had our very excellent dinner on the roof, which was a wonderful experience. So why not a 5 star review? This goes out to whoever owns or manages this place: for God's sake, and everything that is decent, PLEASE provide your waitstaff with either some kind of dumb waiter, or relay system, to get orders up and down those many flights of stairs. The present arrangement seems needlessly cruel to the wait staff.
Always great food and attentive service fresh salsa and warm chip's delicious chimichangas are great as well as the pork tacos
Love the atmosphere. For that, I give them an extra star. My margarita was good. A lot of Pesc-friendly options.
One of the best places to dine in the area! Delicious margaritas, burritos, & quesadillas. Not to mention the rooftop outdoor dining with a gorgeous view of the river
