I felt like I was in Mexico, the music, the decor and the authentic Mexican cuisine were great. I plan on returning soon. Many other things to try.

First time visiting after getting some recommendations online. Despite being packed on a Friday night we were sat right away. Great food and atmosphere. Definitely a local favorite.

The best Tex-mex. In the Tampa area. Hands down! Nobody comes close. We are from Texas and this fills the Mexican food fix that we crave. Chuy's is in the area but quite a bit further north.
Nachos with what seemed like old steak..chewy. Order before and it was great. Just not consistent with excellent last

Stopped by for lunch. Good vibes, great tasting food. Complimentary chips and dip were made fresh. Chips came out hot! A must try if you're in the area.

I had a Vegan black bean burrito ? with stir fry peppers and onions . And as an appetizer 2 tacos with the same stir fried vegetables. Both were very delicious and I forced myself to eat only half the burrito so I could enjoy the next day for lunch. Looking forward to my next visit.

This might ve one of the greatest food experiences that I've ever had. I've been trying a bunch of Dunedin restaurants and this might be the best one in terms of the quality of their food. Well done.

My wife and I decided to dine at the Happy Cactus while staying at the nearby Hampton Inn, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. From the warm welcome by the host to the charming ambiance of the dining room, everything felt inviting. We started with delicious margaritas and enjoyed flavorful tacos and enchiladas for dinner, all served promptly. The restaurant's family-owned atmosphere shone through in the attentive service and friendly demeanor of the staff. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.
