    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.

    Cactus Mexican Buffet Breakfast & Lunch on Sunset Road in Henderson is a great restaurant serving authentic Mexican Cuisine. First time here for breakfast. Love the Comfy Festive atmosphere and the music playing in the background. Prices are $24.99+ tax for Adults. $11.99+ tax for Children (4-10). Drinks Included with Free Refills there is a Drink List on the Tables. Specialty Drinks are available for purchase. A good variety of food options starting with a Gordita Station, Stews from Menudo and Pozole, Rice, Beans, Chicken Enchiladas, Green and Red Sauce Chilaquiles, Chille Rellenos, some Breakfast items, Omelette Station at Breakfast time, Fruit and Dessert Station and Condiment Station. Breakfast served from 9:00am - 12:00pm. Lunch served from 12:00pm - 4:00. Lunch items available from Tacos, Fajitas and more. Nice friendly staff and great service keeping up with the cleanliness of the tables, buffet line and everything else. I like that the staff serves the guests at the buffet line. We walked out happy and our bellies full. Looking for a new restaurant to try this is the place.

    Horchata
    Jenny P.

    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.

    Hoy miércoles Celebramos el cumpleaños de mi esposo en Mexican Cactus Buffet en Henderson y fue excepcional. La atmósfera es cálida y el lugar está muy limpio. La comida deliciosa, especialmente las Gorditas y Calabasitas, que fueron mis favoritas. Todos en la familia encontraron algo que les gustó, y el servicio fue amable y atento. Recomendaría este lugar al 100%!

    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.

    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.

    Food was ok. Based on a buffet it was what you expected. Very clean and good service. I did like that they have kid friendly food as some kids only wants fries or nuggets stuff like that. I will say it's called cactus MEXICAN buffet but the don't JUST have Mexican food. So keep that in mind. For the price it's ok

    Marta M.

    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.

    This Mexican buffet is so DELICIOUS AND FLAVORFUL! We were greeted by the actual owner. She is very professional and extremely nice. I called before to see what food they had available as it was already close to lunch time. She actually took the time to look for me and made me aware of what was still available. She also came by several times to check knThey have soo much food items to choose from. I love the variety of choices that they have. The decorations and ambiance is so thoughtfully decorated and very festive. I LOVE the cactus Christmas tree, so stinkin cute, what a great idea!!! We are definitely coming back. Thank you for warm hospitality and service!

My absolute favorite thing on the menu was the sopa de fideo. This brought back many amazing memories of my mother's cooking. The view of the strip from the lower level was gorgeous. I suspect the nighttime view is even better. I can tell this is definitely a locals favorite. I was surprised they even had a few table top slot games near the bar. Staff was epicly friendly and kind. The food came out quickly. One of the members of our party had the Chile Colorado. They said it was not as spicey as it should be. I had a bite and the meat was a little harder than expected but flavoring was nice. Plus, I have never had it anywhere else. Overall a nice little lunch.

I like to refer this place as "that big orange building on the hill". They take reservations; call the restaurant directly to make yours. It can get busy during peak hours, so if you can't find a parking space in the parking lot, you can park on the street along Carnegie and walk over, which is what we did. We made our reservation at around 7:30pm and arrived on time, but we had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes for a table to open up. We got a table that had a great nighttime view of The Strip and other parts of the city. For drinks, I ordered a Raspberry Margarita on the rocks and my LTP ordered the Golden Road Mango Cart beer, a drink known to be very popular in other restaurants and bars these days. It did take a long while for both drinks to come out, but we passed the time by enjoying complimentary endless chips and dip. The dips were salsa and beans, but the salsa was incredibly spicy, so I stuck with the beans. Our food also took a while to come out - I think we waited about 10 minutes. A bowl of soup is offered with every meal. We shared a quesadilla appetizer (4), which was excellent and included a mix of sour cream and guacamole dip before moving on to the entrees. My eye caught the Torta (aka the Mexican sandwich) on the back of their menu, and I got this with grilled chicken breast as my choice of protein and fries on the side. The Torta was HUGE. It was really good and packed with sour cream and guacamole inside, but at the same time it was so big that I had to take the rest of it home with me. My LTP had the carne tacos, which were also huge and also had to take home with him. Service was a little slow, but the food and drinks were excellent. I also really enjoyed the view from our table.

We stood at the front for almost 15 minutes with nobody acknowledging us. My wife finally practically walked toward the kitchen asking if anyone was even working, and one of the bussers looked confused and asked where the hostess was. Turns out the hostess had been sitting hidden in a booth on her phone the entire time before finally getting up. She then told us there was a 10-15 minute wait for a table, despite there being at least 10 clearly open tables right in front of us. To make things easier, we agreed to just sit at the bar but asked for it to be wiped off since it was covered in food. In response the hostess looked at us with a disgusted smug look, like I asked her to do something that's not her job. Then it somehow got even worse. We finally sat down at the bar for another 15 minutes, while two bartenders completely ignored us the entire time. No greeting, no "be right with you," nothing, not even a water. Avoided eye contact the entire time but served the people around us. It honestly felt intentional by the end of it. For a place we used to genuinely enjoy and support regularly as locals, this was unbelievably disappointing. Service has completely fallen apart and the atmosphere feels nothing like it used to.

How can you beat that? The taco I use to gauge a good spot is the Al Pastor, and I thought they have one of the top 5 I've had in Vegas. I know pineapple isn't always a thing with Al Pastor, and I didn't come across any in my taco, but honestly the meat stood on its own so well with the onion and cilantro tossed on top. My wife had the Pollo Asado taco and I took a small piece of the chicken to try for myself (yes I let her have some Al Pastor too!) and it was great. Seasoned well, juicy, and although I wouldn't order it with cheese, she enjoyed adding it. Now, to the hot taco right now, the quesabirria! It was awesome. Flavorful to the max, lots of cheese, the tortilla held up well (I'd probably order extra crispy next time, my preference). Consumme was good but I've found a few in town with more flavor and a little less oil. Service was fast and friendly while the space was relatively clean. I will say that the tables are placed close together in spots so expect to play Tetris with the next table to get everyone seated haha. I will absolutely be back soon for more tacos, maybe even a hot dog, loaded fries, or some churros!

I live in Henderson…read moreand have dined with you a few times before, always enjoying both the atmosphere and the food. Because of those positive experiences, I chose to bring my family, who were visiting from California. We arrived while it was still light out, and the ambiance was lovely--the open doors, fresh breeze, and sunset created a very pleasant setting. However, as it got darker, the lighting became insufficient, making it difficult to see our table. Unfortunately, this also prevented us from taking a group photo. Our server appeared to be overwhelmed, which may have contributed to some communication issues. For example, I ordered sweet tea for my five-year-old son, but was not informed that it was unsweetened brewed tea, which he did not enjoy. Additionally, my daughter and my son's girlfriend ordered the enchiladas but were not advised that the sauce was sweet. This was unexpected, as enchiladas are typically more traditional in flavor. As a result, one dish was returned and replaced with ceviche, and the other was left unfinished due to dissatisfaction. one of the enchiladas remained on the bill. I want to acknowledge that I did not raise these concerns during the visit, as the server seemed either new or very busy. On a positive note, the ceviche was excellent, as it has been on my previous visits, and the birria tacos had generous portions of meat. My family also enjoyed the music and overall vibe of the restaurant. That said, there were a couple of additional concerns. My children were disappointed that horchata was not available, and the restrooms did not appear to be well maintained and had an unpleasant odor. I hope this feedback is helpful.
