The hard shell mahi mahi was on point. They loaded me up. It was a good meal. The pulled pork was amazing too... super good!! Big ups to the chef! I got the tacos variety and wasn't disappointed ! Thats a good thing because I hold em to a higher standard. Torn between Panera earlier...I think I made the right decision to risk the low star rating here. They get all 5 from me! Fast service and great food. I really like the fact they have local art for sale hanging on the walls. Really cool! Staff too. read more

My friend & I enjoyed our lunch gathering this week at Pace Cactus Flower. MICHELLE was our excellent waitstaff. Cheryl is welcoming & they call me by name when I stop in for a meal. This makes me feel great!). Hayden is very sweet and friendly as she is learning/shadowing and a new hire. She is personable & we always enjoy interacting with the wonderfully fun waitstaff! The FOOD here is always 100% amazing. I highly recommend this place for a quaint, pleasant atmosphere and A+ experience ! shay read more

Hidden gem! We loved this place. Really reasonable prices. Cute decor and our server Joshua was absolutely outstanding. We had the mahi tacos- amazing, the California burrito and verde sauce enchiladas with shrimp. The side guacamole was a steal and so tasty. Also loved the salsa- seriously so good and we love Mexican so we've tried so many places. We also were blessed by the military discount since it was a Saturday- definitely recommend! read more

Newer to the area 4 of us went for my husbands birthday. Great food! All the staff was fantastic. Nice Casual atmosphere. Our server was terrific and noticed my husband wearing a pin that said "another year sexier". At the end of the meal several employees surprised us with a birthday song and a slice of wonderful cream cheese pie. We will definitely be back! read more

What a great experience! The service was exceptional, everyone was so kind! We met our daughter here and loved everything! We started with chips and salsa. The chips were fresh and the salsa had a nice flavor. My daughter ordered cheese dip and it had chopped jalapeños in the bottom if you wanted more heat! I ordered the Mango Shrimp Dinner and it was fantastic! Each shrimp had its own little crispy flaky shell and sweet and spicy mango salsa. I'm a huge fan! My daughter ordered the Chimichanga Dinner and loved it! My wife ordered the Mahi Tacos and she loved them as well! My daughter paid as it was our birthday dinners and the waitress overheard and brought us a free dessert! She even made us sweet teas to go. Not sure what the dessert was but it was great! Thai place is awesome - a nice little restaurant with a cozy feel, great service and great food! read more

I ordered the enchiladas-2 chicken and 1 beef. I was initially disappointed in the amount of beef-until I tasted it. For such a scant amount of meat it packed a greasy flavor. Server handled very well. Lime rice was inedible-not sure what the sauce was on/in it, but it was not good. The chicken enchiladas and chips/salsa were tasty-even with a few random olives in the enchiladas. Restaurant was clean and colorfully decorated. read more

We were apprehensive after reading past yelps. I'm happy we took the chance. The food was fresh and very flavorful. The chips and salsa were addictive. My husband had the mango shrimp tacos and really enjoyed them. I had the carna burrito, it was huge and delicious. I wish the margaritas were stronger and bigger, they are wine based. Service was good. I know we will be back! read more

Food: Good Food although I ordered Southern California burrito with beans and rice. Beans and rice were both luc warm at best. Burrito was warm but not hot. My partner's food was the same luc warm at best. Service: We had to wait awhile to have server come and take our order, even though there was one one couple in the place. Ambiance: was ok. No música playing just noise from outside traffic. Temp in bldg was ok. Place was clean and orderly. read more

Best Mexican place in Milton. Very large portions that are inexpensive but good quality. I always get the tropical shrimp salad. They give you tons of shrimp and avocado. Free chips and salsa as well. The wait staff is very sweet and attentive. It's a very small and quite restaurant as well. I always come here whenever I visit from San Diego. read more

Amazing food and service, and Michelle is the best! The best chimichanga around! Seating is nice and comfy. I've never had a bad meal here (and I come here a lot). read more

Cactus Flower Cafe - Chicken Chimichanga Lunch - Mexican Near Me - Pace, Florida

I always enjoy my meal here. I recently had to go gluten free but they still have options for me. The staff is always friendly.

Drinks were good, the Raspberry lemonade delight was fantastic. Food was passable only, disappointing overall. Having lived in Navarre for 5 years the Cactus flower there was a frequent stop for us. That location and food is absolutely OUTSTANDING. This one doesn't compare though, I even got the same entree, the pork grilled wrap and it's not the same. The pork wasn't tender rather it was almost like a Pattie for a burger, almost pressed and shaped. Service was good though. Recommend the Navarre location over this one if you want to get a good idea of it's potential. read more

Food is extremely fresh...all from scratch..the corn chowder is amazing. Very unique flavors and dishes. Staff is very friendly and the attached coffee shop is an added bonus...you can order from the coffee shop or restaurant and vice versus..great place! read more

I think the tacos here are pretty good. I can see how dining here would be so so. It was super small and had a lot of tables crammed in there. We had take out. Will probably come back, but I wouldn't want to dine here. I felt like the food was kinda expensive compared to what I have had at other places for the quality. It was $30 for two taco dinners with rice and beans. However, the food was pretty good and I didn't have to wait too long. I just feel like there are some other places around that are more competitive. read more

The margaritas are so light and refreshing. The food is always fresh and service is great! Highly recommend

Horrible again. I only come here because the wife comes here. Ordered a beef burrito and get chicken. There is a color difference between the 2. Next time I'll just have chips and salsa, kinda hard to mess that up!!! I very much dislike this place....and the one in Navarre. read more

I came in and sat down for 10 minutes and received no service. I looked both the waitstaff in the eye and they just keep doing their thing. Paid me no mind. The sign said to seat yourself. Keep in mind that this restaurant is very small. My first and last time stopping here. read more

This is a favorite place to eat California style Mexican food. Fresh ingredients, great taste, clean, and good service!

The yummiest place!! The food is always so fresh and more of a fine dining Mexican restaurant with the best food. Good on prices too!!

Wow! Super disappointed in Cactus Flower in Pace! It was 2:00pm Saturday, open sign on, seat yourself sign posted, no other customers in the restaurant. My wife and I walk in and I greeted the two employees I saw and nothing. We sit down for a few minutes and look at the menu. The whole time we were sitting there I saw at least four different people, employees, just look at me and walk off. So, we got up and left. We absolutely love Cactus Flower and we visit the one on 12th Ave. the most but whenever we are in Pace we always go there for lunch. Disappointed! Do better! read more

My first visit to this location. My initial reaction is that the space is way too small for the demand. Maybe the cash advance business next door will vacate its spot soon. Nevertheless, the food Is great and far superior to the local competitors here in Pace. There are plenty of unique and fresh entrees. Beware: they do not have a liquor license, yet. My biggest complaint is the utilization of very cheap silverware. (See photo.) the food quality deserves utensil of the same quality. Last comment: I really like the check-in system. You check-in with the hostess, give her your mobile number, and wait for a text. Excellent! read more

Worst experience ever along with our server. My husband didn't like the food so he didn't eat anything and she knew that. She didn't let me take the food home because she'd have to charge me for it. So when it's time to pay she still charged me for it ! I didn't leave a tip considering she didn't let me take home the $15 chimichanga plate. After headed out to my car she came out confrontational like a crazy lady and said "you didn't leave me a tip" very rudely. I explained to her the situation and she rolled her eyes and walked off. Never will eat here again. Also going to call the manager the lady needs to be fired. read more

This restaurant was absolutely repulsive. The service was awful. Waitress never checked on us and had to flag down a different waitress for help. The food came out cold. The waitress kept walking off mid conversation. Extremely overpriced for not very good food. Do not recommend. read more

Great restaurant. The service there is great. Food quality isn't lost in this cafe. The cafe itself is smaller but very cozy. I always get their california burrito which is amazing. Drinks are good as well read more

Ordered the chicken soup. My bowl of chicken broth was ok. Missing chicken and flavor. The quesadilla was different no flavor and it tasted like it was made with process cheese. You can eat it if you are hungry. Two stars. Friendly staff and clean read more

Walked in, jazz fusion music was playing. OK, different for a Mexican restaurant but cool. That's where "cool" ended. Our server was pleasant and efficient, but the food ... absolutely NO TASTE or flavor AT ALL. This is a pricey place - and we don't mind paying more for great food - so we expected food to great. Not even close! Taco Bell has this place beat. Pros: Nice decor, clean. Cons: ZERO flavor, over priced. read more

Ordered delivery from these guys.. not great. The cheese dip was the worst experience of my life. I would not ever eat there again and do not recommend. read more

I have been there 3 times and will continue to go there. Just knowing that I'm not giving my money to some franchise or overseas company in America makes me happy. The chips are warmed up and salsa always fresh. They gladly served all you can eat of that and kept our tea glasses filled. The waitress was kind and attentive which means a lot. The food is more like tex-mex that you won't find anywhere else around here. I also love the fresh flowers on the table! read more

Food is a bit slow coming out but the servers are great. Plenty of vegetarian options. Love there homemade dressings.

Greetings to all that love to eat good food! It is a must try the service was fabulous and she was very knowledgeable about the entire menu. Ask for Chris she was a delight. Hats on to the chef food was on point very fulfilling I ate the lunch special "Blue crab -Cactus bloom" Entree Salad and Soup Drink- I declined to beverage $9.99 Some may think cost tooooo much for lunch, Not! Give them a try! Keep up the fabulous cooking and serving! Positive energy! I shall be back with a guest this week! read more

Not worth the money you'll pay to eat here. To expand on this, I went to lunch here with my brother and girlfriend this week. We went at around 2:30 and there was no crowd. We should have taken that as a sign... 25 minutes in the door and we still haven't been asked what we'd like to drink. Every ten minutes or so a waitress would walk by and say she'd "be with us in a moment." Just as we were about to walk out, a waitress came by. I ordered a chicken burrito, brother got a pork quesadilla, and girlfriend got a pork burrito. We also got queso Blanco. The chips were CRUMBS, the queso was cold and gritty, the tomatoes were over ripe, my burrito was cold (the cheese inside wasn't even melted), the rice was old and very hard, and we never got drink refills. My brothers quesadilla had maybe a pinch of meat in it and the sauce on top had a crust. Literally paid 47$ for bad service and worse food. Ugh. Never again. read more

The food is always perfect here. The chips are served warm with fresh salsa. It's a healthy California take on traditional mexican food. Everything on the menu is fresh and tasty. The portions are large. There is a kids menu with a large variety and priced nicely. The restaurant is very small. I would not recommend brining a large group. Four people at a table is the max I would go. They could seat more but as busy as they are you might wait for a while. The service is great and the art on the walls is beautiful. I'm so glad Pace has stepped it up. A healthy/fresh restaurant was so badly needed. read more
