Great food aside from overall ambiance! Steak fajitas and poblano queso are fantastic but over priced for Argyle. My biggest complaint is the complete darkness inside and club-like atmosphere. Even the patio is completely enclosed (no view of outside?) and pitch dark. Disappointed that it is not more inviting and family friendly considering the area- it belongs in downtown Dallas. read more

It was my birthday celebration with my kids. Food was ridiculously amazing! It started with the queso with filet in it! Wow! We had 4 different people come up and wish me a happy birthday... We sat in a booth and it was perfect for us to talk and reminisce...it wasn't as loud as you would expect. We got there at 4pm, but left at 6pm and it was packed when we left... Our server was perfect and super attentive. Thank you Marty B for this place!!! read more

Chicken bone in chimichanga - discovered in my mouth after taking a bite. Not good. Prices are super inflated for food that was almost as good as other local Texmex places. Service was fine - the servers are maybe too attentive if anything. What's with the lights pulsing to the music - that was irritating. I'm not a fan of trying to be posh for the sake of being posh - it's a bit like My Fair Lady and Audrey Hepburn in a little black dress with her obnoxious cockney accent - it's jarring when the foods a miss and the bill says "premium." read more

My friends in Texas took to to have dinner at Cactus Canyon. The modern interior decor was chic, just a tab bit dark. A very night club feel for dinner. Ordered the taco al carbon, the steak was flavorful and blended well with the sauce. We had also orders the queso for appetizer that we ate up with basket full of chips. Our server was attentive and checked in with us throughout the meal. It was a good experience having some Tex-Mex food. read more

Great greeting at front door with the hostess. She asked if we were celebrating anything and we said yes, my wife's birthday. They seated us with a decorative lighted bottle to let our server know we were celebrating a birthday. (More on that later) Very dark inside. Takes a minute for your eyes to adjust. My 88 yr old mother in law almost tripped because she couldn't see where she was going. Service started out fantastic and diminished quickly toward the end. We basically loss our waiter after the food was served. There was no birthday amenity. Why put the bottle out if there is no birthday offer? Acoustics are bad and customer chatter is so loud you can't carry on a dinner conversation. Overpriced food that you can get at an authentic Mexican restaurant for a fraction of the price. No Happy Hour, but plenty of overpriced cocktails. Will not be returning to this location. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The service was great checked on our table multiple times and kept our table cleared of anything we were finished with. The food was great more of an upscale Mexican food restaurant. The facility was very clean and seemed brand new although they said they have been open for a couple years. If you're looking for a great Mexican food restaurant and you don't need to dress up for I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The ambiance at the place is nice and intimate. If you like authentic food this is your go to place. read more

Searched for local restaurants since we are moving to the area and came across Cactus Canyon!! I was going to join the wait list ahead of time but there was no wait. When we arrived, we were seated. Inside is dimly but nice decor. Service was great - our server told us the off menu specials. We had the egg roll starter such was really good. I got the frozen espresso martini and hubby got a margarita. Both were really good - I'm not a big drinker and the martini definitely had me a little giddy, lol!!! Between the four of us, we had the brisket quesadillas, fajita beef quesadillas, enchiladas, and chimichanga. Everyone enjoyed their food so we ended with dessert that we all shared. It was good as well. We will definitely be back. read more

We have enjoyed two dinners at Cactus Canyon thus far and are going again soon with friends. The ambience is stellar, especially for the location. A true hidden gem! First of all, they have one of the best margaritas around with the "not a Karen-Rita"... Cadillac marg. Their poblano queso is also a 10 out of 10. The Carne Asada was seasoned beautifully and so was the Birria consume. However, the birria meat was chunky and the Carne Asada was chewy. I had the fajita beef nachos second time around and that beef was perfect. They need to triple the amount of beans on the nachos; it was not even a smear. I'm not a big fan of their chips or their salsa, but my husband thinks they're great. (Nacho chips are different and better IMO) The bar is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting there at our second visit. Our bartender, (receipt says "fake b" as her name), was very knowledgeable about tequilas. Gannon was our server in the dining area. He's incredible! There are plenty of great young servers, hostesses, and bussers; pls tip well! They have separate allergy menus. One for those who are gluten-free, one for dairy free, one for soy free, one for peanut free, etc. Great job, team! Marty B killin' it once again! read more

Private party for Father's Day! With 4 little ones (grands ) under the age of five, having a private dining room was a must! It holds up to 20 people. The TV and seating area were an unexpected treat! My husband could watch The U.S. Open! While I was hesitant to book the private room, in the long run it was well worth it. The children could roam about the room and play on the patio with supervision. This was a more relaxed atmosphere than being in the general dining areas. Seth (general manager) was great to work with. He was very responsive via email and met us in person shortly after we arrived in the room. Our servers Carly and Miguel were attentive and flexible. Margaritas were excellent. Wine was good. Food was great. Desserts...fantastic! It is a splurge, but a great way to gather family together to celebrate. read more

Food was pretty good! We enjoy trying all Marty's locations. We still prefer 1845, but this is a good TexMex location if your in the area.

I always love the food here, I literally always enjoy the food it's so amazing. I ate the 8oz filet is was soooooo good and juicy. Make sure to get the fried Kayote and ask for ranch on the side! The asparagus is also top notch with that butter sauce they give you, I am getting hungry thinking about it... The service is always great from the circle star brand team shoutout to Ashton, Gannon, and Robbie for great service for the 3 times I've been here. Management is great also, the man with the bald head is awesome he replenished a salad that was accidentally taken off our table early that was so kind and thoughtful SORRY for not remembering your name. Shoutout to Kay and Chris for being great managers as well!!! The ambiance is very very nice, of course it's ARGYLE TEXAS so people dress very casual, but I like to dress nice here. It is a nice establishment after all, sandals and hats don't really make sense... I think prices are good especially considering prices you're finding at other places, that's inflation for you! Don't go out if you can't afford it! Compared to other circle star brands this was great priced for amazing tasting food, service, and ambiance. They also gave my girlfriend a rose for valentines day, thank you Chris for doing so!! Cheers to a great restaurant! read more

Since my first review, we have been back 3 times and have had an excellent experience each time. The Texican Egg Rolls are one of the best tasting items anywhere and the top shelf marg lives up to its name! We really enjoy the environment and level of service we have experienced since our first visit. We will continue to come and plan to bring our friends that haven't been before. read more

The restaurant was beautiful and clean. The bar was very elegant and big and had plenty of seating. Service was nice and the food was ok but for what the prices were I would have expected more. I'm glad I went once but I probably won't search this place out again. There are too many other great Tex-Mex restaurants that are way cheaper and just better tasting. I guess they figured that since they're on the pricey side of town they could charge more for mediocre food. I mean it's not bad but it's not great. Crispy tacos are kind of a hard thing to mess up but they did. Tried to be "fancy" with some weird spicing and it just didn't work at all. If you're wanting to impress someone with an overall package, this isn't the place. If you just want a nice setting and ambiance then it's a great place to go to. read more

Gluten free and dairy free options. The salsa was amazing and the chips came warm, which was a great touch! The food was great! Got the fajitas, highly recommend! Service was fast! It could be a bit brighter, a little dark to see the menu, but everything was amazing! read more

First time we came in and so glad we did. Everything tasted great. Our favorite was the "off menu" street corn appetizer - delicious!!!! The birria tacos were delicious but a little bit greasy (like birria tacos can be). We also had the beef fajita nachos - they were loaded down with tons of cheese and beef. It was all worth it and we look forward to coming back and being served by Ashton who was very engaging, knowledgeable and lovely. read more

Our server was fantastic with our 1 year old granddaughter who had very much to say and wanted to taste EVERYTHING!!! He laughed along with us and brought her a "special little dessert", BUT!!!! He was smart enough to ASK mom and dad if it was OK.....professional from beginning to end!! read more

Cactus Canyon is currently our favorite dining spot at the moment. Since opening, we eat here on average twice a month, my husband always mixes it up on his choices, but his favorite is the Filet Enchiladas, i order the combo fajitas with beef, chicken and shrimp and will say it's more than enough food for two people to split. The Not a Karen Margarita is perfect, and now that we discovered the filet queso, we order it every time, even though it's way too much for just 2 people. Service is top notch, food is really good, and the location is perfect for us. If you have not tried this place, you must. If you get there before 5, your almost guaranteed to walk right in and be seated for a party of 2. read more

This restaurant is well decorated with a unique vibe with nice music in the background. The food was good but we had to wait for silverware which was backwards. Dishes also piled up on the table which was annoying They served fresh tortilla chips and salsa which is served warm. It was flavorful but one person in the group didn't care for warm salsa. Overall we had a good time and will return. read more

Fantastic Tex-Mex and exceptional service--perfect for family dinner! $$$ We headed to Cactus Canyon for a weeknight Tex-Mex dinner with my daughter's family, and even on a busy Tuesday evening, this spot impressed. We were greeted immediately at the entrance and again at the hostess stand by friendly, smiling staff. After a brief wait for a table, we were seated and ready to enjoy the evening. The space is clean, modern and welcoming. Once seated, our server promptly took drink orders for three adults and one little one, and the chips and salsa arrived shortly after. The warm salsa was flavorful, but mild--our server quickly resolved that with a spicy verde salsa that hit the spot. This Marty B's restaurant is incredibly well-managed and laser-focused on service. We had no fewer than five visits from three different managers throughout the meal. Despite the buzz of activity (numerous greeters, food runners, and attentive servers), it never felt overwhelming--just incredibly polished and efficient. We started with the poblano queso, which was absolutely fantastic. The spicy margaritas? Delicious, especially with their four salt options--be sure to ask about them. For entrees, we shared steak fajitas and a combination plate, both cooked to perfection. Even my picky grandson devoured his steak quesadilla--a small miracle! The price point is a little high, but that won't keep me away. For 3 adults and one 4-year-old, our bill was $150 + tip. With this level of service and quality, it's absolutely worth it. I'm already looking forward to returning soon! read more

Cactus Canyon - Poblano Queso - ¡Fantastico! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Argyle, Texas

Our first time! We've wanted to go but honestly the prices were a little jarring. Especially for Tex Mex but we wanted a nice date night for our anniversary! THEY BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER with the food, first. SO MUCH FLAVOR, good spice, and good portions! Drinks were good too (I had a passion fruit margarita, hubs had the old fashioned). But the best part by far was the customer service!! They give you a special jar for your table when you're celebrating and so we had 2 managers inquire & make sure we were having a good time + another waiter! Our waitress was the sweetest & attentive! They were busy but you wouldn't know it by the service! Worth the money! read more

Marty has done it once again. Cactus Canyon did not disappoint. The chips and salsa were both warm and delicious. Highly recommend the carne asada and the stuffed shrimp entrees. We came for lunch so didn't sample any cocktails or wine this time around. The server was very nice and attentive. The decor is tasteful and upscale. If you haven't tried it yet, you should go soon. read more

So flippin' great! Service and food are phenomenal! Get you some YELLOW QUESO!!! The crusted chicken with the poblano queso sauce... get outta here. So yummy! My only complaint, I ate too much. read more

Walked in for a table of two on a busy night, and seated right away. The parking lot was full, the bar seating was scarce, but they had a booth ready with 0 wait. Our waitress Kailyn??? was phenomenal. Best service i've had anywhere in a long time. Knowledgeable of the menu, promptly and clearly communicated off the menu items, made a few suggestions, and was there anytime we had a question. If she didn't stop by, her manager, or other wait staff was there to serve and check in. Awesome and they found a way to be attentive and let us enjoy our time Food and drink, really good. The best fajitas i've ever had, that beef was incredible. We shared the Canyon Combo (chicken, beef, bacon wrapped shrimp). The beef was flavorful and tender. We traded the peppers in favor of portobello mushrooms. The chicken was really good too. The queso options were really good with a mixture of cheeses, beef, and other mix-ins. The drink menu was extensive as well. We ordered the house margarita and not a Karen margarita, i added a mezcal old fashioned and my wife had a clear margarita. All were top notch. Then we had the 5 layer ice cream cake with crushed pistachios and waffle cones and Ooey Gooey ice cream. I hesitate to mention this because i doubt surprise free dessert is something that happens regularly, but we were completely full and taking home leftovers when this arrived and we had no problems making room for it. It was off the charts good, highly recommend Awesome experience, we will be back and soon read more

Freaking delish! Cannot wait to return! I could literally drink the garlic butter. Nothing ever disappoints!

Cactus Canyon has almost all the right ingredients, but there's still something missing. The atmosphere is great, the service is good, but the portions are out of sync with the prices. Fajita Combo (for two): $48 I forget how much the delicious queso blanco appetizer was, but the serving was barely enough for four people. The fajitas had more onions and peppers than protein. There was less than a half pound of meat on the platter...for two people. I left wanting more, but not wanting to pay that much again. read more

Another Marty B success. Great atmosphere. The usual over-the-top service. Excellent cocktail (old fashioned) and very enjoyable food. As with all Marty's places--he's proud enough to go for top price--but the quality is there to back it up. Only downside is the location on 407--but that's not anything to impact the rating. Will go back for sure. read more

Met a friend here for dinner. The atmosphere was great, the service was spectacular, and the food was better than expected. I had the off menu fillet with the Mac n cheese. WOW!!! Amazing. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the steak was cooked perfectly! I wish I would have gotten the server's name because he was one of the best servers we had in a long time!! Keep up the great work guys!! read more

The food here is INCREDIBLE. They were so good with my gluten allergy and I have to give a shout out to Nick and Haley because they were so attentive and took great care of us. Exceptional customer service. My husband and I had the best date night and will continue to return over and over again. The corn appetizer was incredible. As was the queso. The jalapeño margarita was delicious and the fajitas.... Omg the fajitas. Best Mexican restaurant in DFW. read more

Been to this location several times now and it's very consistent. Slightly upscale but have seen lots casual dressed. I wouldn't go anything less than jeans and a nice shirt. It's loud inside and usually packed. Entry is opposite the main parking lot so if you park on the west side it's closer to entry. Staff is always on point. They are friendly and helpful. My favorite is the filet fajitas. Only place I can find that serves them. That are tender and perfect. Cocktails are excellent and the margaritas are bomb. I go for a horntios black and it's perfect. Prices are a bit high for Tex mex but it's elevated ingredients so I'm ok with that. Great date night place fantastic food and service. Seating close to entry has a lot of people waiting so if you can ask for seating away from the door. read more

The food here was amazing. We have been twice now and the fish tacos were wonderful. Also the fajitas are delicious, tender steak. Clear there is attention to quality. The drinks were ok, but would try again. Service very attentive, attention to detail for sure. We were celebrating and our waitress went out of her way to make my family feel special. Our dessert came out with a sparkler, my kid really enjoyed it. The desserts are amazing also. Really enjoyed our experience read more

Oh my goodness! We just had the most amazing dinner with our neighbors. One of us had a salad w/ chicken, one had the stuffed shrimp, one had fajita beef quesadillas and I had brisket tacos. Brook was our awesome server. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Always taking care of anything we needed without hesitation or hovering;)) We met Nick, who said my Birthday dessert would be complete with a sparkler...he wasn't joking! Everything was perfect start to finish this evening. Thank you Cactus Canyon read more

We have never been to Marty Bs, as we are not in tune with their political views, so I had nothing to which to compare Cactus Canyon, as so many others have in their reviews. But first let me say this restaurant is stunning! Very modern and dark, with loud but fun music playing. We went late on a Sunday, and it wasn't crowded. The service was exceptional and much more professional than other restaurants in the area. The three of us sat in a booth in the bar area. My daughter is pregnant, and they had a few mocktails for her to choose from. My other daughter and I got frozen margaritas, which were delicious. We started with the rich and savory poblano queso, which was utterly different from regular queso but very good. We then shared fajita beef quesadillas, fish tacos, and chicken fajitas. All were incredibly good and made with quality ingredients. The fish tacos were some of the best we've ever had, and the quesadilla was loaded with beef. This restaurant is not inexpensive, but the food and atmosphere match the cost. I understand they have a waitlist for busy weekend evenings, which is fantastic as there are not a lot of upscale restaurants in the area. We loved the food, atmosphere, and service, and we'll be back! . read more

Absolutely amazing!! Was pricey but it's well worth it. Chips and salsa when we sat down. Salsa was really good- served warm with some kick. For an app, we got queso with filet. It looks huge but it's more like a plate than a bowl. 4 of us got it and it was perfect! I don't normally like queso but this was awesome!! The filet was amazing!! So good that one of us ordered the filet for a meal. On to the main courses....EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!!! Filet was perfect. 8 oz but seemed huge. Carne asada also amazing!! I ordered the tablitas bc I've only had it grilled at home and have never seen it on a menu at any restaurant before. DELICIOUS!!!! I'm one of those people that judge a good meal and restaurant based on the sides. Oh my....where to start. Refried beans, which you would assume is just like every other Mexican restaurant is anything but that. Definitely THE BEST refried beans any of us had ever had!!! Side salad was great. Cilantro dressing was good but get it with a side of their chimichurri. Oh my.... Chorizo mac n cheese was another star. I don't like chorizo but this was the best ever!All the drinks we ordered were also on point. Dessert we got the sopapilla cheesecake. Meh- it was just cheesecake with caramel. Still good but we wanted the layers and more traditional. I got the frozen espresso martini for dessert and it was also the best! Ended up getting another to go for later. The true winner of the night was our server, Zach. He busted his a$$ and was so personable! Best service we've had in a long time!! The mgr, Kay (I think?!?!) also came by to check on us a few times. It was a great night!! Again, pricey but we knew that going in. Much rather pay for a great meal and experience than leave thinking meh. Will be back for sure!!! Maybe next time, will try out HH at the bar. read more

Once again, my favorite restaurant in all of Dallas Fort Worth did not disappoint. The service here as always was top-notch. Our waiter was attentive, timely, nice and extremely knowledgeable. The food was utterly amazing. The Carne Asada here is the best I've ever had. The queso with bits of fillet mixed in was incredibly yummy. The margaritas are on point. The frozen espresso is incredibly tasty. Even the Manager was extremely nice and came by to check on us to make sure everything was to our liking. I had talked this restaurant up quite a bit before bringing our party of six. Each person in our party had an awesome meal and could not have been more impressed. Truly another home run hit by Marty B! read more
