I have been visiting Orange Beach for years and this was my first visit to Cactus Cantina. I can get Mexican at home right? Well, the Shrimp and Grits were delicious! And very reasonably priced. I will be getting my Shrimp and Grits from Cactus Cantina from here on out. Also had a margarita and it was very good too.

They are accustomed to serving large groups throughout the day. High volume customer base, high volume of food. The food was hot and delicious with quick quality service

Cactus Cantina Mexican Grill delivered an unforgettable dining experience! My California burrito packed a punch with hot red sauce and creamy queso cheese, and the option to include sides like Mexican rice inside was a game-changer. The burrito, loaded with layers of spicy red sauce, gooey cheese, and fresh avocados, was a flavor explosion. Meanwhile, my wife savored the Texan burrito, brimming with shrimp, chicken, and steak, complemented by mild sauce and sides of black beans and grits.We kicked off our meal with nachos served with both traditional salsa and fiery habanero salsa, which were both amazing. To balance the heat, we indulged in club soda, water, and a refreshing bushwhacker, adding a delightful twist to our dining experience.With every dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavor, Cactus Cantina Mexican Grill earns a solid 9 out of 10 in my book. It's a place I'll eagerly return to for more culinary adventures!

I went here with my family, they were really understaffed only one person working the bar, some of my tables orders were incorrect but they fixed it right away, our table had scraps of food still on it, which was a bummer, but we got a nice big table, the food was pretty good actually, I ordered a bowl but the guacamole serving was really small compared to the rice, beans, chicken, and pico de Gallo, but woah the guacamole was great, our drinks came out after our food too, nothing really wrong with anything else, maybe loud kids and they were running around ?♀️ I liked it, not really special or unique like most restaurants in O.B. maybe try a local taco food truck instead if you don't want to wait for your food so long! But I may come again soon.

Anything with"Texas" in the name was what was recommended. The Texas burrito did not disappoint. Shrimp, chicken, and steak all were very tasty!
