I really enjoyed the ambience at Cactus Cafe. It was incredibly clean, the waitstaff were polite and attentive, and the food was delicious. I had the chopped brisket burrito. The brisket was tender and the rice was fresh and fluffy. I would recommend Cactus Cafe to anyone who enjoys Tex-Mex or would like a good meal in a very cozy environment. read more

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with my experience here. The food was very dry and didn't have much flavor, which made it pretty unappetizing overall. What really stood out to me, though, was the condition of the menu. There was visible mold trapped inside it, which I found extremely unappetizing and concerning from a cleanliness standpoint. Seeing mold on a menu is not something you expect when going out to eat and definitely took away from the overall experience. Hopefully management addresses the cleanliness issue, because the food itself could also use some improvement. read more

I ate a cactus Café Saturday night, for the second time I had three soft tacos with brisket, chicken, and shrimp By Sunday morning, I had the worst food poisoning This happened Saturday today is Wednesday and I'm still home sick Sorry to have to write this review, but I don't want other people getting sick read more

Wow. What a phenomenal dining experience! We enjoyed a few items at the table for sharing and I can genuinely state that my most favorite food was whatever I was eating at the time. Everything was quite flavorful! The ambience is welcoming and lively. Despite service taking a while, it was well worth the wait and we were in no rush anyway! The best meal we had was the brisket enchilada. We also enjoyed guac & chips, soft tacos with ahi tuna, another with shrimp, and another with carne asada. For drinks, I would greatly recommend the spicy watermelon margarita that I had. I will be having the coronita margarita next time! An absolute must-have is the brisket enchilada - wow! Literal fireworks in my mind while consuming it read more

I've been dying to try this place since it opened up in the neighborhood last year and turns out, I was pretty disappointed. I decided to go here on a Tuesday night with intentions of a taco Tuesday type deal, when I go there, I was actually surprised to see that they don't offer anything like that. They do have other deals, but nothing I was interested in. When I walked in, I sat at the and was greeted by staff who were very nice. I ordered chips & guac, a carne asada taco, a smoked pulled pork taco, and jalapeño cornbread. They all came out at the same time and fairly quick. The chips and guac were pretty good. The jalapeño cornbread was delicious and was probably the best part of my meal, the tacos....not so great. The carne asada was chewy and had little flavor. The pulled pork taco was dry and had no flavor. I wasn't impressed at all. Overall, the place is clean and well decorated. It was also busy for a Tuesday night. I don't mind giving it another shot. read more

Food was not bad. We ordered the nachos, fajita enchiladas and carne asada burrito. Fajita enchiladas were slightly weird to me because they have mixed vegetables inside like green beans, carrots, peas and corn and that's just not what fajita vegetables normally are. read more

Greetings fellow Yelpers, It took a while to open this location. I attended a soft opening tonight. Friends I am with enjoyed the food Monday special BOGO enchiladas. I will update review after I have food. Jess & John at the bar are both on point! Grilled Ahi Tuna was quite tasty and had a pleasant after kick. It did get a tad soggy towards the end as seen in the photo. More to come! read more

I order this way too often off of uber eats and have been to all the og locations to not enjoy a night here myself. The food is incredible, we've done catering orders, take out, uber but the in dining was tremendous. I loved it. It's a quiet small restaurant with a nice bar. Great homey feel. Not a fan of the bartender Jose, complaining openly about other people's tips made it quite uncomfortable. I'm all for anger in the workplace and taking care of yourself and your family I just don't need that aired out to me about a 200$ tab from another table leaving 15%, to me that's not professional. Aside from that really enjoyed my food will continue to order OUT and delivery but won't be coming to dine in here. read more

Now I'm going to make myself clear here, I've ordered from here, I've ordered from the other location but I originally started eating cactus cafe in 2011 when I worked in the glen cove area. Since then, they have been one of the most amazing spots ever. Great food, a variety of options, so many specials and amazing service. Every person that works at all these locations has always been friendly. I haven't dined in at the new one yet but from what I see they have a full bar and the ambience looks great. Their steak is always perfectly cooked, medium rare, juicy most and packed with flavor. All of their meat options are absolutely delicious. They are limited on the sauces they provide but I am so happy they are consistent throughout. I've had their burritos, their wings, their enchiladas their chicken you name it. You will always see me here as this will remain one of my consistent places to dine in or for take out. read more

First time at this location, used to go to glen cove years ago. Decided to try out a brisket taco and the soup. The taco was very small as was the cup of soup. However... I remember glen cove the meat wasn't great so didn't have high expectations. As I bit into the taco my eyes sprung wide open as the juices of the brisket enveloped my taste buds. I had to double check my phone to make sure I wasn't back in Texas. Unbelievable. Getting probably 6 of those next time. The chicken corn chowder. They have been doing this right since the beginning. Creamy, nice tingle of heat and plenty of chicken. Simply delicious. Text updates on the order were on point. The interior of the space is nice and spacious. Well themed. Full vat. Some place that I would love to sit down for a meal at. A must visit! read more

Newer cactus cafe. They started participating in full moon madness however their policy of having to purchase a full price item to get the deal feels like a slap in the face to years of tradition. Especially when inflation is hitting the community so hard. Disappointing to say the least read more

The burritos are fresh and the surf and turf is my favorite. New location staff is very pleasant. I have ordered two times since 3/4/25. Second time the burrito was mushy and had to try to eat with a fork. The first time burritos were firm easy to grab and eat. Yesterday was soft cheesy but loose not compacted. read more

Cactus Cafe - A mushy surf and turf burrito! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Huntington, New York

Ordered for pickup. Phone was answered, they said "give me a few minutes, I'll call you back" and then hung up. I waited ten minutes before calling in my order. Every item was acknowledged on the call and met with a "got it, anything else?" After bringing it home, it was missing 2 items. Food was fine. But don't bother ordering takeout. They're obviously not interested in serving you. read more

Food was good but... I asked for blk beans they gave me refried which really make me gag so I could only eat a portion of my enchilada meal. Tasted good though. Also left out the guacamole I ordered and paid for. Overall enjoyed...just a little disappointed :) read more

Came here with a friend for a quick bite and everything was great. The young man at the front was very helpful and friendly. Loved sitting at the bar. The fries were hot and fresh, and the tacos were delicious..my friend couldn't stop raving about hers too. Will definitely be back soon! read more

This is a "sit down " place, Very friendly staff but I asked about the "arroz con pollo" because it said add chicken lol the name says chicken and rice, he said it included chicken. Then we go ahead and place our order when the food comes a plate of rice and "chicken" comes out with it lol but whatever miscommunication happens but then I saw they added the chicken to the bill lol there was barely any chicken, new place So I'm sure new staff that will get better but no water refills for a sit down place that now we're expected to tip on eh. Food was good again staff was friendly and enthusiastic im sure they will be great but I'd def skip on the arroz con pollo lol wouldn't even ask about it. I'd prob shoot for the other hunnington location but I'll try it again down the line and adjust review read more

I have been waiting months for breakfast at this place tired of doing a McDonald's breakfast burrito. Their sign says breakfast but still no breakfast. I went in there over two months ago. The guy said Breakfast is coming. Well ..... read more

The food was overall bad, no cheese at all in my quesadillas, burrito was too overcooked, no flavor at all, nachos were overcooked too to the point where it felt like eating rocks and the buffalo wings were undercooked, not flavorful either. Service was alright, they barely acknowledged me even though I was the only one there and the ambiance was alright too. First and last time coming here, Never coming here again. read more

Will never go back- live close loved it when they first opened with good experienced bartenders and good food. Now cutting corners, children for bartenders who over serve, I got food poisoning from here also. I waited for an order and saw the chef pick up a chicken tender from the floor & put back into fry bucket. Tonight I sent a drink back for being too strong- later a man fell to the ground for being too drunk - the mother of the bartender was at the bar and started yelling at me that some people can't handle strong drinks and the drinks are all measured the same- that is incorrect- my drink was remade and fine. I quote "are you trying to be nice I'm not looking to get drunk on a Sunday" sending a man home intoxicated is a crime and god help the people on the road with this man who was served from this restaurant. Wake up, hire qualified professionals to run your restaurant safely. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered on Uber Eats and got their buy one crispy chicken taco get one free. The chicken was very crispy and the lettuce,cheese,tomato, onion was a great accompaniment. I ordered the fajita platter that comes with grilled charred onions/peppers, rice, black beans, sour cream, shredded cheese, pico, 3 flour tortillas and their amazing green sauce which is a little spicy but flavorful and delicious. Rice could've been seasoned a bit more however their sauces adds the much needed flavor. You have a choice of which protein you would like to add so I selected grilled chicken. The chicken was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. This place is way better than Chipotle! Can't believe I've been driving past this place for so long and never gave it a try. Glad I finally did and I'll definitely be back! read more

I did take out and ordered online. Can I please know why I ordered two grilled chicken burritos with no changes only to get a buffalo chicken AND the actual ordered grilled chicken burrito? Buffalo chicken is a wrap not a burrito and it was horrible. This was my birthday dinner too - not good! My husband gave me some of the actual one I ordered but I was already nauseous. So much wasted food! I was so happy they don't over salt the food but I did find it lacked overall flavor. The chips were great! But I think that's the only part of the $90 meal I enjoyed. read more

Excellent food excellent service Jose the bartender was also very personable and hustling making sure his patrons were taken care of Definitely an asset to Cactus Cafe Highly recommended read more

My 4th time here food is good and prices are great ! Monday night bar was packed and so was the restaurant so service was good our waiter was on point and very friendly definitely under staffed for how busy they were but the staff handled it well my only complaints were the nacho chips they were thick and hard and not very good they were just ok but other things made up for it read more

Love this place. Food is solid. Prices are reasonable. We've sampled many menu items- the bowls, burritos, & tacos. I wish the Fajitas sizzled. House-made tortilla chips remind me of the delicious ones they served at Green Cactus (I miss them!)- nearly perfect without salt. The bar can get loud. Custom cocktails are top-notch. This place also needs better napkins- the ones they use seem like cheap store brand ones. Don't get your napkins from Dollar Tree! Stronger ones- or cloth ones would be a great improvement. One issue: Put a wall (one of those moveable ones) or curtain in front of the bathrooms. When you sit in the back & someone opens the bathroom door, you'll get a full view of a toilet while you're eating. Limited space, I know, but there needs to be a barrier there. Everything is so appetizing- while a commode is anything but. Or blow out the walls in the back & add bathrooms, then you could fit more seating where the bathrooms are now. Moveable wall with a Mexican-themed curtain would look nice & improve the esthetics. Nice staff. Kill the lousy loud reggaeton music...it's not good music for dining. Put a bathroom wall up! read more
