    Cactus Cafe in Medford is absolutely amazing! The food is consistently great and high quality, their cactus wings and buffalo wings are hands down some of the best I've had. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and addicting of course especially with me being a wing fanatic. The burritos are on another level. They're huge, packed with ingredients, and the meat is incredibly juicy and flavorful in every bite. You can really tell they don't cut corners on quality. Not only does the brisket, carne asada and chicken remain juicy, it's completely packed with flavor and absolutely absurdly amazing. On top of the great food, the customer service truly stands out. Brittany in Medford is an outstanding employee friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. Her customer service alone makes you want to keep coming back. I swear I don't usually hype places like this but this is easily one of my fav places ever, not just restaurant based I just love the ambience and the bar is an amazing scene. Highly recommend Cactus Cafe if you're looking for great food and an even better experience with great food and customer service. Oh btw Franklin is awesome at the Huntington location, the location at 320W Jericho turnpike. He's very personable as well.

    Here all the time! Love their food and service is great. Super casual atmosphere and take out is an option as well. Jalapeño cornbread is the best!

    I had the best tortilla chips i've ever had in my life here. I was driving 25 minutes twice a week at one point just to get them so if you're coming here for any reason, make sure you get some. they deliver well too!

    I like to come here with my daughter to grab a quick taco and a game of checkers. They have a large menu and the food is always very hot. I enjoy the shrimp taco as the shrimp is grilled and not fried. It comes with lettuce and a very spicy red sauce. Yummy

Empanada tasted and smelled like the beef was old. It was primarily filled with air and the pastry was far too brown. We also ordered a burrito bowl with chicken, which was the furthest thing from white meat. The chicken meat is small crumbs of dry, VERY dark meat with seasoning - can't even be called chunks or pieces, it's chicken crumbs. Pico tastes good but the tomatoes were nearly white and there was just a sprinkling of it on the bowl anyway. Same for the lettuce and rice - they were just filler, not tasty at all. Guac was great, however the chips were way too thick and burnt. Service was fine enough, but I ordered takeout and then sat while my food was cooked and no one really went out of their way to say anything to the one customer in the place. I felt that more attention could've been paid to service and quality food prep seeing as how they were very clearly not busy. Not the best, not the worst. Doesn't warrant another visit for sure.

That's it.

I paid $74.14 for two steak burritos with fajita veggies and extra steak, one chicken burrito with extra chicken, and two orders of empanadas. I paid an additional $3 on each burrito for extra meat, and I even left a tip when I picked up the order. For that price, I expected the amount of meat to at least reflect what you'd normally receive in a regular burrito. Unfortunately, it didn't even come close. All three burritos had almost no meat in them. There wasn't what I would consider a normal portion of steak or chicken, never mind the extra portion I specifically paid for. The burritos were overwhelmingly rice, beans, veggies, and tortilla with barely any protein. The two orders of empanadas were equally disappointing. They were basically pockets of air with a small amount of cheese inside. I completely understand that restaurants have to manage food costs and portion sizes, but if you're charging customers an extra $3 for additional steak or chicken, they should actually receive it. Spending $74.14, paying extra for meat, and leaving a tip only to open the food and find portions like these was incredibly disappointing. I don't like criticizing a local business, and there's a reason I've never written a negative review before. But this was bad enough that I felt other customers should know what my experience was. I would steer clear of this place. Based on my experience, there seemed to be very little concern for whether customers actually received what they paid for. I certainly won't be ordering from here again.

The hostess was very friendly and there was a small wait for a table even though we had a reservation. We started off with the guacamole for 2. We could have easily done the single serve. It was a lot of guacamole and $30!! Also, I ordered celery and carrots to go with it instead of the chips and they all had black dots in them. They were not fresh. I had the Salmon Manchamanteles, they were able to make it gluten free, which was great. It was moist and very good. My husband has the Skillet res a la plancha tacos. He really liked them.

For entree, I ordered the Dos Carnes which had the slow roasted baby back ribs and skirt steak with corn puree. The ribs were nicely cooked and the meat just falls off the bone but it was smothered with a chili lime sauce that made it a bit too salty. The skirt steak was cooked to the right temperature but needed more flavor. For dessert, I had the tres leches and it was overly sweet. Sadly, I did not finish the dessert.
