Mexican ayce buffet! Sign me up! When i know i can have unlimited menudo i will find said place wherever its at! Too bad they dont have albondigas. They have some authentic food. The tamales was not my cup of tea and my corn elote was a bit too sour. The quesibirria was excellent! I really liked how cheesy it was and the taco was crispy and thin. They serve breakfast/ brunch at 9am and lunch starts at 12pm. At noon is when they have tacos and beefier items. Its 25$ for breakfast and 30$ for lunch. Why i loved this place is bc the servers are phenomenal! Boy were they awesome! Both of them, the guy and girl was so helpful and friendly and was on top of it! They constantly cleared my table and refilled my diet coke. I would come again but eating here will make you full for the rest of the day/night. The only one thing is not all the buffet line workers speaks english. A fellow in front of my husband asked for sausage and the lady gave him carne asada meat and when he kept saying "no, sausage". The lady would nod and keep giving him more carne asada until he finally gave up and took the carne asada. Lol! This is a buffet where they give you the item you want. The salsa is serve yourself. They have different horchata drinks with huge mugs that looked divine! They were about 7-8$. Next time ill get one! read more

This is my second review. I must say that the food has gotten slightly better, like they finally figured it out. Customer service was very good, attentive, and polite. The ambiance inside is very festive, lots of classic Mexican colors and decorations. My only real complaint is how expensive it is! It was $64 for two? i could have eaten prime rib for that price! I could have eaten at the South Point and had steaks and mimosas for that price! That's just crazy. I wanted to give this place one more chance, but I think I'm done here. A human can only eat so much food, and that price is just way too much. I love food, and I love trying different places, but I think I love my $$$ more.. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!!! This is not just a bad buffet -- it is shockingly awful, the worst Mexican food I've ever tasted and surely the worst AYCE experience of my entire life. And I'm not even a picky eater. Do yourself a favor: even cheapest Golden Corral is better than this. I usually don't complain about restaurants because everyone has different tastes, but you can feel the GREED here. Extremely limited food choices, everything made from the cheapest ingredients possible. Nothing here tastes like effort, care, or even basic seasoning. The worst part -- something I've never seen at any buffet -- is their unbelievably stupid setup. All the food is locked behind a glass case, and you have to stand in line and ask the staff to serve you every single time you want anything. It's slow, inconvenient, and you can't choose your own portions. You either choke down all they give you or deal with the awkwardness of leaving food behind. It honestly feels like they designed it this way so you'd be too embarrassed to go back for asking for more food. It's manipulative, it's cheap, and it ruins the entire experience. For around $30 per person, you have so many better buffet options in Las Vegas/ Henderson with far superior, premium food and more diverse option. And if you're thinking of coming here to "try authentic Mexican cuisine," please don't. This is an embarrassment to authentic Mexican food. I'm easygoing, I've eaten Mexican food everywhere, and my husband is Mexican -- if I say this is terrible, believe me, it's terrible. I don't know what the trick they do to get people's reviews with such good rating. I've never strongly hated a restaurant before, but this one earned it. If you don't understand why, go try it -- you'll end up just as frustrated as I was. read more

I had a terrible experience at Cactus Mexican Buffet. When you go out for Mexican food, you expect some flavor and freshness, but the food here was awful. The meats were completely dry and overcooked, and everything else was so overwhelmingly greasy that it was hard to eat. On top of the poor food quality, the customer service was highly unacceptable. The staff made us feel like an inconvenience rather than paying guests. It is extremely frustrating to pay for a buffet only to receive low-quality food and disrespectful service. I highly recommend skipping this place and finding a different restaurant in Henderson. read more

Cactus Mexican Buffet - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

To be fair, I would not consider myself to be any sort of expert in Mexican cuisine. However, I did grow up in Southern California and have had my fair share of Mexican food, so take that for what it's worth. I was there on a Friday around 11:30am, because I wanted to try both their breakfast and lunch items given that it was the same price. My preference, come after 12pm for lunch. The tacos (see below) aren't there for breakfast. They seem to rotate items, so some things might not be available on your specific visit. For example, I was looking forward to trying their quesabirria after seeing pictures of them, but they sadly weren't there when I went. Some of the dishes are designed to fill you up quickly. For the less experienced like myself, ones to be wary of: Pozole - tons of chickpeas with just one piece of fatty pork, soup itself isn't bad Tamales - Not dry, good flavor although they're 95% dough with just a sliver of meat. Both the pork and chicken were equally stingy on the fillings Flautas - nice crispy exterior, fun to try but could use more filling, not as bad as the tamales but still, not worth the stomach real estate Favorites: Machaca - super tender meat and oh so flavorful, must try Chilaquiles - thick crunchy tortilla chips with your choice of toppings at the toppings bar. I got pico de gaillo, cilantro, red onions, cheese, salsa verde. WARNING: the red salsa is quite spicy, try a little bit before dousing your food in it Tacos - the absolute highlight. Love that they don't double tortilla. All 3 meats were cooked to perfection. Carnitas were so tender with a nice mild pork flavor. Carne asada had a kicking smoky flavor, and was not dry at all. I've always assumed that being a leaner cut of meat, carne asada is going to be a bit on the drier side, but this has now set the standard for me as to what good asada should taste like. Barbacoa is sooo rich with an intense beefy flavor that just melts in your mouth. Topped with cheese from the topping bar, it became almost too rich. Definitely add some fresh pico de gaillo and onions to balance out all that intense savoryness. Churros - not too sweet, very cinnamony with a surprising mild chocolate filling, optional to add chocolate syrup and/or condensed milk for the more sweet inclined Mids: Menudo - seems to use same soup base as pazole with chickpeas, does have a strong beef offal taste that was too much for me Pork ribs - tender but bland Chile relleno - flavorful with an interesting spongy batter, decent but I wouldn't count it amongst my favorites Chicharron verde - might just be me, but the spongy texture just wasn't appealing Friendly servers that stayed on top of topping off drinks and clearing plates, one even helped me carry one of my plates back to my table on my first round when I accidentally attempted to try too many items at once. If you let them know someone at your table is celebrating a bday, they'll put a colorful mexican hat on them and sing to them too. It's not a big restaurant so everyone's watching :D read more

Decided to try this for breakfast, bad idea. The food was OK, just not alot of choices. What killed it for me was the price. $32 for breakfast? I mean seriously, that's ridiculous. I had calabacitas, beans and 2 pork tamales. The tamales were OK, not great. The calabacitas were pretty fresh, but no cheese in them which was odd. The beans were good, refried and hardy. Also had corn and flour tortillas, and a fried jalapeño. You can't really mess those up honestly. The tortillas were nothing special to be honest. The one thing i did enjoy was the churros. Very fresh and warm, encrusted in sugar and cinnamon, so good! I would have rated this place a 3 if the price was half off. The service was great, everyone was nice but this place is a rip off. read more

We went on a Sunday. Place was full and there was a wait. We arrived at Noon. We asked the cashier if breakfast was still available. She didn't know but asked another co worker. Co worker confirmed they would still have breakfast. They didn't. The servers informed us that at 12pm they remove breakfast items and bring in lunch items. In a nutshell, it was $30 for unlimited tacos, tamales, and gorditas with a drink. Fruit was limited to melon and watermelon. No salads. Churros and mini conchas for desert. If you have picky eating kids, they have really bad pizza and chicken nuggets. I also had a menudo spill on my clothes because the server gave me a bowl on a plate over the counter and it slid off. Luckily the menudo was almost cold. Next trip I asked if I can get it on the side of the counter. Overall, IMO nothing special to come back to. For $30 Golden Corral would've been better. read more

Cactus Mexican Buffet - Price per adult and child on Sunday at noon. - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

We went in this place with really high expectations and amazed at the idea of it being a buffet. The food was not the greatest unfortunately. The service was good though! I hope they look into bettering their recipes or something to make the food better! But it's a no go for me, and won't go back even though we live so close from it. read more

Worked for the first time. It won't be the last time. The staff was friendly. The place was clean. And me and my girlfriend were the only non-Hispanics in the place. Very authentic food. Menudo is some of the best I had in my life. If you're ever in the area when it's open, you have to go. I love to tamales the Gorditas. I can't see enough nice things about the place. read more

Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing. The restaurant needs much more attention when it comes to its overall presentation, cleanliness, and the way the food is served. The food didn't look very appetizing, and the quality did not match the prices, which I found a little too high. The only dish I truly enjoyed and felt was prepared well was the menudo. Overall, the atmosphere, service, cleanliness, and food quality made the entire experience feel underwhelming. I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately, I won't be coming back. read more

So glad we tried this place. I have seen them all over tik tok so we decided to give them a try. The staff is friendly and the waitress is attentive. The food tastes like someone's abuela is back in the kitchen cooking. There was not one thing we didn't like. My favorite dish was there albondigas soup. It was perfectly seasoned and the veggies were cooked just right. The meatballs were tender and flavorful. The papas con chorizo Gordita was so delicious. I would also recommend the barbocoa tacos. They have found the perfect balance most buffets miss. They have moderate amount of food on their buffet, but it's more than enough items to satisfy all, and all the food is perfectly cooked. The only thing I would like to see is more dessert options. This buffet is worth paying a visit to. read more

Seriously I don't recommend this restaurant to no body, food was old like a days before they did it and just warm up in the microwave , menudo smell bad like they don't clean it up , service was right , but was foot terrible read more

If you are looking for a authentic cozy Homestyle Cooking like you walk into your grandma's house or a friend's house that welcome you to have dinner or party it's like that type of cooking. . When you first enter you will have to pay first and then they will see you and then you go to the buffet line and they will serve you because there is no self-serve. . The buffet is included with soda juice and coffee. I had their coffee and it was really good with spices and cinnamon. Also we did get a Diet Coke as well. . For the buffet line it went pretty quick and did you serve you and ask if you need more portion or less or if you like a specific piece you would just let them know. . I went during Thanksgiving weekend so they did have something special which they did have a whole turkey. They also had a pineapple and strawberry tamale which was different and homemade and it was on the sweet side like a pastry. They also have your Savory tamale as well with jalapeno and cheese or pork tamale. . They also have your Mexican soup like menudo and pozole which was really authentic and I really like the menudo because it has the beef stomach in it. The pozole has a lot of chickpeas and chunks of pork with ribs too. I also like how the garnish was not self-served so you can put as much onions and cilantro and any spices you need for the soup. . I really like their steak fajita with cactus stir fry it was really great and the meat wasn't dry and it was actually flavorful and had a nice tenderness to it. . They also have a lamb leg or beef leg I wasn't sure what it was but it was really great and I do love the presentation where they do cut pieces out of it to serve you. You do not get the bone but there is a big bone attached to the meat while they're cutting it for you. . They also have your chili relleno which was really authentic and it was a great texture and flavor. They also have your chips and salsa with guacamole and different sauces at the bar where you can self serve. . Overall I really like the cooking because it really reminds me of walking into a friend's house that welcomes you to their party and you get to try their cooking. It's very cozy and a nice selection to choose from. The price was about 30 bucks for an adult and 10 percent off for seniors. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. read more

Cactus Mexican Buffet - Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I was so looking forward to my visit here! My friends and I went for lunch. It was 28 dollars for all you can eat. It reminds me more of cafeteria style dining. I tried the tamales, chili rellenos, machaca, calabasitas, plantains, beans, rice, enchiladas. My friends tried the same, including carnitas, gorditas. Of everything I tried I would recommend the carnitas and machaca! The Machaca was the most flavorful! The waitress was nice and friendly, taking care to keep our glasses filled. There is no sign to request tortillas, so if you haven't been and want to try, ask for them. Would I go again? Probably not. No pictures to post. read more

Food was very delicious and with many authentic flavors. I was not too happy with being charged 8 dollars for the Horchata since it was nothing extraordinary or extravagant. I think they should have horchata in their included drinks since it is a staple in the Mexican cuisine just like drinking Coke-Cola. The ambiance is nice, good music playing, servers in the buffet area are attentive. The dessert area does need some attention since it is a small area and during my visit didn't get much options besides mini concha's and cookies. Was able to get some fresh churros which was glad to see they offer that. I am glad that a restaurant like this does exist since you can try many delicious Mexican dishes but dont get fooled to pay too much for regular horchata drink. read more

Cactus Mexican Buffet - Pozole - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

The Cactus Mexican Buffet is super welcoming with a check in for the waitlist right near the door. There isn't a ton of seating to wait inside. They offer all the favorites and some cool specialty non-alcoholic drinks. It was super busy and staff checked in a bunch. The buffet area was clean and labeled and staff serving were friendly. My favorite things were the tamales, plantains, chilaquiles, and rice pudding. Everything was very well seasoned and warm. I got the strawberry horchata, which was super creamy but the strawberry on it was a bit wilted. My only concern was that certain parts of the restaurant in the dining area and the restroom were not as clean as they could be. It was a great value and I'd definitely return for another visit to try the items I couldn't this time around. read more

Cactus Mexican buffet is a must go to when going to Las Vegas! My husband and I are visiting from Pasadena, California and found this place on instagram last year, and ever since we make sure to come here anytime we come to Vegas. Their service is amazing!! Jesenia the owner (sorry if the name is spelled wrong) but she is amazing she is soooo sweet, always smiling and making sure everyone is taken care of. It's such a nice clean environment, and the food is sooo fresh and delicious! I can't wait to come back again. Their menudo is to die for and all of their entrees are sooo yummy! read more

I came, I tried, I crossed it off my list. $24.99 for adults, $28.17 with tax (WOW), drinks included. I don't want to be too critical because the place was packed and forming a line. I heard the owner telling customers that it was family owned and used authentic family recipes. They were raving but it was too authentic for someone who grew up eating at Macayo Vegas. The posole soup was ok and I liked the green sauce on the chilaquiles, but there was no fried eggs or meat to put on it. The "pork" was nothing but pork fat. Seriously, no meat just pieces of floppy sloppy pork fat. No tacos, burritos or enchiladas. The chile Relleno had no sauce but was ok with a little guacamole. I don't know where the deserts were but I couldn't find them. When I tried to ask they all spoke Spanish. The server who brought me a coke was very sweet. For that price I expect meat. Very disappointing. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it was so hyped up and it was a big no no to us !! The food was not taste at all!! You can tell the food is not made fresh daily as they say . I really think if this is a buffet people should be allowed to self serve there selfs . I read in a review they do it for safety purposes and believe me I'm from California and over here in the Mexican buffets or any buffet your allowed to self serve cold hot or any temperature . I definitely should have googled reviews before coming in and wasting $120 for 4 of us and my family not eating! The gorditas were so hard and cold the chicharrón had an off taste ! For the drink I asked for water and the water tasted so bad !! read more

What a great find. We had to drive to Costco for work and hadn't eaten yet. After a quick search in the area, I came across Cactus Mexican Buffet. I LOVE chilaquiles and they had it. So my husband and I decided to try it. Wow! The food is great. It's prepared in small batches so what you're eating hasn't been sat out all day. We had chilaquiles, chile relleno, enchilada, gorditas, elote, tamales and more. It was all VERY GOOD. The staff were all so sweet. The ambiance is awesome. Not stuffy and not dingy. I'm excited to come back. $25/person for great food and all you can drink soft drinks is well with it. read more

Cactus Mexican Buffet - Menudo! (Heaven) - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Review: I would not recommend Cactus Mexican Buffet if you're looking for food that really feels authentic or representative of Mexican cuisine. The food was very plain, and there was nothing signature or memorable about it. Some of the dishes didn't even seem like recognizable Mexican-style food, which was disappointing for a place with this name. For the price, it just wasn't worth it. The service was nice, and the staff were pleasant, so that was a positive part of the experience. The ambiance was pretty basic, with normal tables and a bar area, but nothing special or particularly inviting. Overall, the service was fine, but the food and atmosphere did not stand out. read more

I absolutely love this place. We go frequently and they surpass my expectations each time. The owner and his family make us feel at home: superior customer service. The food is delicious and fresh. read more

The service was excellent, but the food was just okay since it's a buffet-- all you can eat. However, they require you to line up each time you want to get food, and you may need to do this multiple times for additional servings. For example, when you're ready for your next plate, you'll have to wait in line, unlike simply grabbing what you want. I understand the reasoning, but it feels somewhat restrictive. The price per person is $30, which includes drinks, but only some drinks are included; others require a separate payment. We visited on a busy Saturday around noon, which was quite crowded. read more

I was there and had a few complaints... Food was very bland no flavor even the tamales seemed to have been bought from Walmart dry no flavor . The aguas frescas at $8 was a joke They charge automatic gratuity yet they don't give you service you have to get up and get your own stuff , the drinks took them like 10 minutes to come and take the order and after that it was hard to get their attention. The place was dirty and understaffed took like 15 minutes as you wait in line to get food as they serve you . Take your money elsewhere where ! read more

I only give 2 stars because the service was very good. Not impressed with the food I tried cheese/jalepeno tamale-very small,dry, not impressive just okay. Pazole was good Chile rellano was dry- did not like Shrimp with veggies - shrimp not cleaned, big turn off. I thought flavor could have been turned up. Limited desert. I usually love Mexican food- I was very disappointed, couldn't wait to try this place. The cost was $60+ for 2 Not for me. read more
