    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.

    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.

    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!

    My second visit and I'll definitely be back! Absolutely amazing ambiance as well as friendly and courteous staff. Excellent food and margaritas! I tried and shared combo fajitas and enchiladas as well as the blanco queso! Yum! I then relocated to the BEAUTIFUL bar! This is my new "go to" for Tex Mex!!

    Beef taco. It's huge!

    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.

    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!

    First timers at Canyon Cactus, and boy have we been missing out! The service was impeccable! From our amazing waitress, Kayli, to staff and managers stopping by to check in, everything thing was 5 stars! And let's just talk about the food... filet queso...yes please! Margs... bring me another! Fajitas... I'm drooling just thinking of them! And the unexpected dessert... wow! We will be back for sure and asking for Kayli!

    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!

    Not a Karen margarita. Perfect.

    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.

    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.

    We had a really great experience overall! The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the…read moreatmosphere felt relaxed and casual--perfect for a laid-back meal. Everything we ordered was delicious. The guacamole tasted super fresh, the queso was flavorful and came in a generous portion, and the salsa had just the right amount of kick without being too spicy. The only small hiccup was the chips situation--they give you big portions of guac, queso, and salsa, but the chips come in a tiny bowl. (Literally 10 chips) very sad for 6 people to fight over so little of chips. Not a huge deal, just a bit surprising. We also tried the margaritas--they had great flavor, though they tasted absent of tequila. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back...maybe next time we bring our own chips! :)

    If I could give La Fondita Mexican Restaurant six stars, I would legally change the rating system…read morejust to make it happen. Let me set the scene: I walked in expecting a casual meal and maybe a decent taco. What I got instead was a borderline spiritual awakening wrapped in foil and served with rice and beans. First of all -- the giant piña colada. When they say giant, they are not messing around. This thing arrived like it had its own gravitational pull. I'm pretty sure I saw a small family of tourists orbiting it. One sip and I was transported to a beach that doesn't even exist on any map -- coconutty, icy perfection with just enough kick to make me briefly consider texting my boss that I've moved to an island and won't be returning. Then came the beans. Listen carefully: I don't throw this word around lightly -- perfect. These beans were so good I genuinely paused mid-bite and just stared into the middle distance reevaluating my entire life. Creamy, rich, seasoned like someone's abuela whispered ancient secrets into the pot. I would trust these beans with my taxes, my passwords, and honestly my emotional well-being. And the corn tortillas... dear lord, the corn tortillas. I have had tortillas in many places, including at my own abuela's table -- and saying this feels like confessing a sin -- but these might be the best I've ever had besides abuela's. Warm, soft, slightly charred in all the right places, like they were handmade by someone who has been perfecting this craft since before I was born and possibly before electricity was invented. If I could build a house out of these tortillas, I would. I would live there. Happily. And then--just when I thought things couldn't escalate further--the huevos rancheros arrived. Eggs cooked to that perfect sweet spot where the yolk still has a little rebellion left in it, laid over a bed of everything that matters, all tied together with a sauce that refuses to be anything less than unforgettable. It's the kind of breakfast that makes you question why you ever settle for anything less in life. Comforting, bold, and somehow both rustic and wildly impressive at the same time. Everything else on the plate? Outstanding. Rice that actually deserves to be eaten and not just politely ignored. Salsa that sneaks up on you like, "oh this is nice--OH okay there it is." Service? Friendly, fast, and somehow emotionally supportive. Atmosphere? The kind of place where you immediately feel like a regular even if it's your first time. Final verdict: If you are anywhere within a 50-mile radius of Denton and you are not eating at La Fondita Mexican Restaurant, you are making a series of deeply questionable life choices. I came in hungry. I left changed.

We started things off right with chips, jalapeño ranch dip, and queso, which is honestly the only proper way to begin a Chuy's visit. The queso was warm, creamy, and exactly what my soul needed, and the chips with that jalapeño ranch were the cherry on top. Speaking of cherries, we also got the Tito's cherry limeade, and it was the spring we didn't know we needed to bounce. Crisp, cold, a little dangerous in the cutest way, and honestly adorable -- the perfect little kick to start the meal. Our waiter was top notch: kind, attentive, and somehow always there right when we needed something without ever hovering. That kind of service makes the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. For food, we ordered the Baja shrimp tacos, and when I say the shrimp is BIG, I mean it (and no, we're definitely not out here flattering any men ). The shrimp was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and absolutely the star of the plate. They came with rice and beans, and even though I forgot to ask for the cilantro lime rice , I was still super happy with everything. We also got the steak fajita Tex-Mex burrito bowl, and every single bite just kept getting better. The steak was tender, packed with flavor, and once it all got mixed together with the salsa and scooped up on the crispy tostada, it was perfection. This meal was such a good reminder of why Chuy's became a favorite for me in the first place -- fun atmosphere, great food, amazing service, and one of those dinners that just hits from the first chip to the last bite.

If you're looking for a spot with great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere, Chuy's is definitely the place to go. I'll 100% be coming back
