Good food and good service at reasonable prices. What else is there to say? If you are looking for a nice selection of salads or just good SW food it's a great lunch or dinner spot that won't break the bank. read more

Stopped by after a day of shopping at Bellevue Square with my family and I'm so glad we did! From the moment we sat down, our server was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The service was also impressively quick, we had our drinks and food out in no time, which was perfect after a long shopping day. We started with Moscow mules, and they were perfectly balanced and refreshing. The chips and salsa while we waited were a great touch and super satisfying! For food, we ordered the carne asada, smoked brisket tacos, and the southwest chopped salad and YUM. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, the portions were generous, and we genuinely enjoyed every bite. Safe to say... we left our plates completely clean! Overall, such a great experience with amazing food, fast service, and a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

First time. Good service from the start. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted. We got the Squash Enchilada, Spicy Ahi Tacos and Carne Asada. Quantity wasn't much but flavors were tasty. The rice was cooked well. Inside looks clean. I quite liked it. We came during dinner and it was organized. Mexican food fusion. Private lot in back. Will return with my husband. read more

Garbage customer service. Came as a party of 8 and they put to even tables together meant for a 6 people with the heights uneven by 1 inch so two people in the middle have an uneven eating surface. Asked Antonio the manager to find two tables that are even and he got mad saying that there are NO tables in the entire restaurant that line up. Antonio was completely rude with zero sense of customer service. His main objective is to have customers sit, eat and leave. Been coming to Cactus for years and this the last time. They just lost a loyal customer because of the rudeness exhibited by a manger. He needs to be talked to about his behavior otherwise they will continue to loose customers. read more

Not too shabby. Came here a couple times for lunch. Food is solid mexican cuisine. Burrita Brisket Lenera (4): Portion was big! The brisket was tender. Decent fork and knife burrito. Carne Asada Plate (4): The steak is done nicely with good char and seasoning. Get the tortillas on the side so it doesn't get soggy. Overall, decent spot for tasty mexican food in a sit-down setting. read more

I went here for dinner and drinks with my husband and a friend. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. The server was kind and food was brought out quickly. We even got a free dessert as a surprise for it being our first visit. I will definitely be going back when I'm in town again. read more

Convenient location, they weren't really doing reservations, only waitlist. The food is pretty tasty and I do like my Tex Mex food. The mocktail I got was also quite tasty. We did get chips this time and I knew it would cost money, though I did forget how much. I still feel like the waitstaff should mention it, because they ask about the chips and salsa prior to having a chance to look at the menu even (basically sit you down, ask if you want water and chips/salsa), and there do exist many places that give you free chips/salsa but want you to say yes so they don't waste food. read more

This is one of the favorite restaurants of my grandchildren, they alternate between Cactus and Din Tai Fung. Ask my 4 yr-old grandson what he likes here, he would say " the chips"!! And he is right, they serve complimentary warm chips and salsa. They were sooo good!! The staff is very friendly and efficient. We have great service each time we come here. Since we always arrive early at opening time, it is not noisy or very crowded. And we like the good here. It is located in the Bellevue Square mall, so plenty of parking. read more

Cactus Restaurants - The special. Bowl of Tortilla Soup and Southwest Chopped Salad - Mexican Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Cactus is one of our Go-To faves in Bellevue, but we've also been to the SLU location many times before moving closer to Bellevue. We are obsessed with the Austin style Gauc, and I've only ever gotten the Sonoran spa chicken, it's insanely good! My fiancé usually gets the brisket burrito, or whatever special is going on. Tonight, as well as a previous experience, we were Lucky enough to be served by Branson. He was so incredibly polite, and kind, so much so as to leave us surprised. From drinks, to the hottest hot sauce he even ranked for us, offering dessert and joking with us in between being slammed during a busy Saturday, we couldn't have had a better experience. Thanks Branson, for making us love our fave even more, and I'm sure many more would agree! read more

Cactus has been one of my go to restaurants for Mexican food. We always get their veggie nachos, soups, chicken quesedillas and prawn fajitas. They had Mexican pizza as seasonal special and I must admit one of the best pizzas, I have ever tried. Went the next week to try the Mexican pizza again and weren't disappointed. Their season squash blossoms are amazing. Their Tres leches cake was yum too. read more

Stopped by for drinks and appetizers during happy hour. The nachos were a good price but underwhelming. The drinks were delicious. The taco appetizers weren't too my partners taste and made him feel a bit gross. Service was great and the place was lively. read more

First time eating at the Bellevue location and they did not disappoint! We were really hungry and they were one of the few places open on a long weekend Monday. We had tried their Butternut Squash Enchiladas at SLU location so ordered those again along with Jackfruit Chimichangas. Not many places have vegetarian chimichangas so we were curious. Both the dishes were amazing and service was good too. The place has a very date night ambiance. Good for people watching too if you can get a table by the window. read more

Amazing food and great service. Their sessional menu is fun and creative. The service was very attentive and nice ambiance

Cozy spot to grab some food. The order came out quick and was delicious. The shrimp taco had a nice mild kick and flavor. They've got a good drink selection and even a kids' meal. Only downside was the glare from the sun. No window covers so it was a bit distracting. May want to avoid a window seat depending on the time of day. It is right next to the parking garage, shopping, and the movie theater. If in the area would recommend it. read more

The food and atmosphere were amazing, and the service was excellent. After I paid, the manager even brought me a complimentary flan after hearing it was my first time visiting--such a thoughtful touch. A friend had recommended this place, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The mojito was fantastic, and the chicken burrito came in a great portion size. I would absolutely recommend coming here. read more

Roxie was our server and super sweet and served us in a timely manner. Loved the queso. The Chile Relleno was fantastic, it was like a state fair, battered Chile Relleno with the most amazing amount of cheese and flavor! I give four stars because I was very disappointed in the margarita. A margarita should not be served in a tall glass as if it was a water especially at a place that focuses on margaritas. We ended up not even drinking it because it was super sweet and appearance is a big deal for us. Great spot overall. I would return for the Chile Relleno read more

Visited Cactus for the first time and had a good time! The place was bustling with people enjoying food. Service was super quick. We ordered the loaded vegetarian nachos and the portion size was huge - more than enough for 2 people! Paired it with the chile hot soup which was slightly chunky but good. Since it was our first time, the restaurant gave us complimentary dessert - delicious flan! read more

This is the second time I've had a meal at this location in Bellevue Square. The first time wasn't memorable- it was average- I went last Sunday late afternoon- Was seated immediately -no wait. I ordered the fish tacos and they were fresh and cooked to perfection. The slaw / trimmings were good too! They don't slap down the chips and salsa. It's treated like an appetizer they charge for. I didn't order them - Back home it's free and you tend to fill up on chips/ salsa and then you're too full to eat the entree. That's all I had to eat but it was very good-.I ordered two. Could barely finish- Had a frozen margarita- not bad but not enticing enough to order a second one. Service was friendly and efficient. The host was very nice over the phone. You don't get very much of that nowadays. I'd definitely return another time to try a different dish on the menu. read more

A friend that I hadn't seen in many years and I went to the Bellevue Cactus at Bellevue Square yesterday. I had the roasted corn quesadilla and we shared chips, guac, and salsa. I believe our waitresses name was Roxy and she was friendly and fun. The food was wonderful, but the sweetest thing was that at the end of our meal, one of the servers brought over a dessert and told us it was complementary since we were celebrating a reunion. It was the warm toffee cake and it was amazing! It was such a nice touch to top off our first meeting in many years! read more

This Restaurant was amazing. The food was super good and i could see why this place is famous for their tacos. The day was quite busy but they managed to get us a seat in 15 minutes. Our server was really nice. I would definitely come here again. the decor was amazing, and the lights were perfect. The price was great with the amount of food they gave and how filling it was. We didn't get free chips, but the chips and guac came with salsa. Great restaurant, 4.85 stars. read more

Always delish, salsa starts you off solid, service was impeccable. Chips bowl was never empty and even tho our guy was slammed he was so thoughtful and kept up posted on when our food was coming out and just had the BEST attitude. Dinner was delish as always! Cheers! read more

LOVE the fajitas from here. As someone who doesn't like bell peppers, this is one of the few places that serves their fajitas without them. I also love their hibiscus chi chi drink as well as their margaritas. The place is always busy and I personally prefer this location over the one in kirkland in terms of quality of service. I will say during peak hours it can be hard to get a table so be prepared for that. read more

We were on vacation and it was our first time. Everything was delicious and service was great. I started with a cup of pozole which came out right away, super hot and tasty.

Been here few times. It's in Bellevue Square. Parking: plenty free parking in Bellevue Square Restroom: men and women restrooms. I miss their Sonoran spa chicken so that what I ordered. For some reason, it doesn't taste as good as before. Besides that we ordered: Brisket chimichanga Chilaquiles divorciados Chicken fried chicken and waffle. They apparently got one of the order wrong. We ordered chicken and waffle, he brought us chicken fried chicken only same price as the one we ordered in brunch menu. So the guy took back, it took them a good 15min before the order comes out. But still missing the butter. We said don't bother, we don't want to wait another 15. They could've just leave the chicken there on the table and just make the waffle. Anyway, he apologized and told us the dessert is on them, which we appreciate the gesture. It's on honest mistake. The restaurant is pretty clean and nice as usual. Not too loud. Great for group and family. read more

On February 20, 2026, I visited Cactus for dinner, and the only meal I ordered was the vegan jackfruit tacos. At first, I felt like there was something slightly off about the flavor. I assumed it probably just needed more seasoning. I added hot sauce, but that didn't really change much. I also noticed that the jackfruit itself was slightly cold compared to the warm rice and beans served alongside it. I didn't think too much of it at the time. I ended up finishing the rice and beans first and thought maybe I just wasn't that hungry, so I packed the rest of the tacos to take home. Later that night, both I and another person who ate the leftovers became sick and vomited. I had not eaten anything else that day. The only common food we both consumed was the jackfruit tacos. The next afternoon around 3 p.m., I called the restaurant simply to let them know about the experience so they could check their food. The manager said he was on the floor and would call me back in a few minutes because he wanted to ask some questions. I assumed he wanted food-specific details -- timing, batch, preparation -- so they could track what might have gone wrong. About 10 minutes later, he called back and started asking for my personal information to fill out an incident form. When he asked if this was a good number to call back on, I told him I wasn't expecting any follow-up. I just wanted to pass along the information. That's it. I told him I wasn't looking for further communication. I used to be a regular at Cactus when I lived nearby, and I was genuinely bummed that the jackfruit tacos were not the experience I'd had before. Then, unprompted, he said that their jackfruit tacos are one of their most popular items, and if there was truly something wrong with the food, they would have received multiple complaints -- and that I was the only person who had called to complain. That statement was completely uncalled for, especially when I wasn't accusing them or demanding anything. I was informing them out of concern for food safety. Instead of leaving a public review immediately, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and chose to call directly. Instead of immediately saying they would check the food and ensure nothing was wrong, he chose to argue popularity and the lack of other complaints. I believe their handling of food safety concerns deserves a review. read more
