    Pork tamales, beans, calabacitas, fried jalapeño corn and flour tortillas.
    Richard M.

    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.

    Trying Out a "New To Us" Mexican Restaurant. Friendly, Professional Service, Good Authentic Mexican Food. "ALL You Can Eat" Buffet, Great Veterans & Senior Discounts. Excellent Menudo. Comfortable Seating Booths. Highly Recommend it. Only Downside is its Only Breakfast & Lunch. We Will Add it to Our Eatting Spots for Our Guests.

    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.

    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.

    Menudo! (Heaven)

    Food is unbelievable good, a lot of home flavors... the environment is 100% for the whole family, people at the front desk at friendly an bilingual, great service overall.

    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.

    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.

    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%!

    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.

First Impressions: The hotel has one of the best scents in Vegas; if you know, you know. Whatever they're using in the vents, paired with their designated smoking areas, really keeps the air noticeably fresher than most other casino hotels. Check-In & Service: Big shoutout to Kim at the front desk for such a warm welcome. She gave us a choice between a room close to the elevator or midway down the hall, and advised going with the latter since the hotel was hosting a cheer convention (i.e., excited kids everywhere!). Her advice was spot on and her customer service was top notch. Truly a fantastic way to start our weekend. Room: Our room was gorgeous: spacious, super clean, and well maintained. We had a great pool view, loved the privacy door for the toilet, and the stone-walled shower with a bench was a nice upgrade. There was also a large soaking tub with a clear view into the bedroom, a desk, and a separate seating area with two ridiculously comfy leather chairs. Pool & Amenities: After unpacking, we went straight to the pool. The main area has two large pools separated by a walkway and cabanas, with two jacuzzis at the end near a huge outdoor screen. There's also a day club if you're looking for a party vibe, complete with its own bar, pool, cabanas, and a live DJ. We enjoyed relaxing in the sun and loved the easy access to drinks from the mid-bar or roaming servers (didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but maybe next visit!). Parking & Fees: There is plenty of parking available in the lots, which makes coming and going a breeze. A $40 or $50 daily resort fee does apply, but that's pretty typical these days and didn't feel out of the ordinary. Final Thoughts: Every detail, from the clean air to the thoughtful service and beautiful property, made this a memorable stay. M Resort is definitely a notch above most Vegas hotels. Highly recommend, and can't wait to come back!

There are for…read moresure some better value options outside the strip, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Wynn if you want a one-stop shop for a good buffet. Having had the luxury of eating at Bacchanal and Wynn on the same weekend, I would hands down pick Wynn. The food at the Wynn is mostly hits and you're rarely get a miss. That and, if you're a crab fiend like me, the warm crab just hits in a way that is tough to explain in words. The desserts are pretty good and there's enough variety for anyone to find something that'll appease your sweet tooth. Only downside is the service is a bit lacking but only in the sense that one waiter/waitress is handling a large area so it can be tough to get a hold of them. The interior is clean, spacious, and feels well kept compared to some other buffets.

On the day I came in, it seems to be a more expensive day - $100, around $15 more expensive. I think there may be more unique food options. It's definitely a pretty spacious place and I like how it's decorated. I've never been to Wynn before, so I wasn't quite sure what's the difference between a special day vs their normal day. They have a pretty decent selection of food. And I was interesting to try as many things that interested me as possible. Though in hindsight, that did fill me up quick. And because of that, I don't think I got my money's worth. If I was to come back, I would definitely instead eat as much of the crab legs as possible. Their crab legs comes in cold and warm. The warm tasted much better to me! Lobster is my favorite seafood, but I saw they also had lobster claws, but i was disappointed in that as I felt like it didn't have much taste. They also have a decent selection of desserts, including made to order crepes and smores. I enjoyed the smores, but the crepes was also a bit lackluster for me. The crepes came with several flavors, and I chose the mango passionfruit mousse. I liked the mousse itself! My favorite part of desserts was their ice cream wheel.

The exact amount in question was unclear, as I had been moving from game to game and had not been keeping track. The gentleman continued raising his voice, getting in my face, and placing his hands on me, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe.
