Cactus Cantina Gulf Shores

"EXCELLENT" doesn't quite capture the experience. The service was outstanding—very friendly and attentive. The food was phenomenal; I highly recommend the Piña Fajitas!

We dined here while on vacation in Gulf Shores, and the atmosphere was adorned with typical Mexican-style decorations. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner on the patio. The food was delicious and expertly prepared! Our son had tacos, my wife opted for the street tacos, and I chose the enchiladas with white sauce. Everything was fantastic, and the service was excellent. We plan to return, possibly before we leave this week!

The overall experience was great. This is not authentic Mexican (being from TX we tend to look for that first). But they offered great service, a fun atmosphere, and delicious food! They have a great hot salsa which you can pay extra for, but the chips and salsa were great! Chips were off the fryer hot! We ordered the 3 Amigos appitizer and the Texas fajitas. It was more than enough food for my husband, my little one and me. The meats were all flavored well. If I was able to go back, which I definitely would if I was closer, I wouldn't get both of the same. It seemed like the same thing in different forms. But we enjoyed them anyway. We also got the Chimichanga Cheesescake it was drizzled with raspberry sauce and topped with whipped cream. I may have been in a sugar coma but it was excellent! Like I said, we would definitely go back if we were close by. *If you're from Central NJ, it gave me a Jose Tejas vibe. Not as good, but similar.

Food was delicious ! Best Mexican food eaten in a restaurant, rice was very authentic full of flavor, tacos were good , portion size very good . Quick friendly service. Nice atmosphere. ?? love it!

Their drinks weren't too fancy the place isn't to bad and i really loved our waiter ???? bathrooms are a little small but that's out of managements control lol... the chips are so crunchy ????, but over all the place is kinda touristy ???? but the food came extremely fast which was really nice ????
