First time visit. Great menu, reasonable pricing and super delish real deal Mexican food. Enjoyed every bite, full of fresh flavours. We were there at lunch time but I reckon there is a great evening vibe, happy hour and all! Slightly confusing American cowboy decor but hey, if the food is good, it's good!

We enjoyed the starter nachos (nice portion), the poppers and the amazeballs. Loved the food. Strawberry and lime jug was the best mix, the mango and lime was just a little too sweet. Haven't been to fat cactus in ages but was glad to know the food is still top notch. Will definitely be back.

We love this place. We have get togethers here all the time during the summer months. Food is great. Vegan and Vegetarian options. Love the gingerbread tequila. You have to book in advance and expect it to be super busy. Space is small but cosy. Bathrooms can be cleaner, but it’s not too bad.

Delicious cocktails. They were nice enough to mix the frozen Mangorita and Frozen Lime for me. It was so good. It also arrived very quickly at the table. Great servive, well informed staff willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.

Wonderful reception by our waitress who resembled Gisele Bundchen the Brazilian model...the atmosphere was great and the place was quite full... We sat outside undercover with heated area...the food is excellent burgers start from around R120 but you have to have the Mexican... That was excellent...portions are meduim...food was good...caters for vegetarian to beef, chicken and lamb... The lamb was around R220...

I love this place! Ordered a glass of Haute Cabriere and soaked in the atmosphere after a friendly waitress loaned me her iPhone charger! The decor and the music is right up my alley!
