This is...by far...one of the best, if not THE best, Mexican in Seattle. The food is excellent, the staff is amazing, and it is a wonderful experience. We will be coming back, THIS IS A MUST TRY!!

Allie Caudle

Start the morning with a delicious brunch from Cactus, or choose to end the night with a Margarita at Sunset . The outdoor seating is unmatched just like their Churro Waffles . Multiple locations too!

Friendly staff and an excellent menu. All the margaritas are great, burritos and tacos as well . Chips and salsa with a side of guac and you're set.

Jess Scott

Chicken fried chicken .... not Latin at all really but really effin delicious. I've had nearly everything on the menu and this is what to get.

Champ Ensminger

Happy Hour : Spicy Ahi is complex, but too small. It's all about the Street Tacos .

Eric Tigre

Great food and friendly service . Relax after work with friends and switch it up from the usual order off the margarita menu and get a caipirinha . Check fresh sheet for daily specials . Te gusta! Read more

Great place to catch up with friends - fresh new Mexican regional and Pacific Coast flavors in warm inviting bustling location. Friendly service and great Alki views . Cocktails are just ok.

Brent Gatewood

Great food. Fantastic staff . I'll be back. Try the house margarita and the chimichanga !

Butternut squash enchiladas were to die for. Loved the kids’ menu too. Service could not have been better.

Katherine Elardo

Excellent happy hour offerings! This place was packed even on a Monday afternoon. Grab a table in the bar in the front for the best view .

The Prickly Pear Rita is delicious... Order chips and guac and create a perfect Happy Hour !

Really tasty food with authentic Mexican style dishes

Kimberly Pena

Love the diablo prawns ! Also the Baja margarita and you NEED to try the Coconut Mojito !!

Drew Milam

Baja margarita is the way to go! Not too spicy , and refreshing!

Ron Sprinkel

Since this location opened on Alki a few years ago, the only thing I've ever ordered is the butternut quash enchilada and/or chips & salsa/guacamole. If you haven't tried this plate, try it! Yummm!

Phuong Nguyen

Cactus has amazing brunch . Come early and walk it off after on Alki Beach !

Josh van Hulst

Amazing dishes and variety on the menu

Nate Yancy

Guac & salsa just ok not much flavor. 2nd round of drinks via barback made great cocktails & quicker than bartender . brisket burrito & green chicken enchiladas were good. Poor service @ bar

Marc Love

Great service, very good food. Had the blackened chicken tamales special and they were delicious.

Tachini Pete

Try the bacon+chicken smoked quesadillas as an appetizer ! And the guacamole is $6 but one is worth it

Travis Logan

The seafood enchilada was amazing!

Nate Yancy

Usually you sit at the bar for faster & better service. Not here. We received none of that. 4:30pm during HH. bartender took about 10 min to get our drink orders. We received no H2O. margaritas R OK

Tammy McCray

Ewen Syme

Chicken fried chicken at dinner

Will Tucker

They will ask if you want chips and salsa . Who doesn't, right? They will not, however, tell you that you'll be charged for them when you get your bill. Shady. You can do better.

T. O.

The view . The service. The food.

Lisa Renee

Happy hour from 3-6pm on Sunday was amazing! House margarita , mojito & sangria only $5

Louis Frillman

Crunch crunch. Chips and salsa are the best.
