    Squash Enchilada
    HanNa P.

    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.

    Chips and salsa and guac (no free chips but free refills)
    Julia Z.

    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.

    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.

    The special. Bowl of Tortilla Soup and Southwest Chopped Salad
    Julia M.

    A good option for lunch or dinner in Bellevue. Tasty salsa. Most amazing Southwest Chicken salad! Though pricey. Chips and salsa are not complimentary with your meal. Ambiance is fun, views of bellevue way. Service was nice.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken Fajitas 3/5
    Noah B.

    Not bad, but not super excited with our experience. I prefer the Kirkland location. Mexican street corn was definitely the best thing we got. Definitely would suggest as an appetizer. The chicken fajitas was a little dry and wasn't very exciting.

    Super good spot..I am not a big Mexican food fan but this place is definitely an exception. I always love the ambience here. Always busy, always bustling with people.

    Cactus Restaurants is fantastic. Authentic Mexican food prepared with care and quality ingredients. The service is professional and genuinely friendly. Great atmosphere and reasonable pricing for the caliber of cuisine. From appetizers to entrees, everything is expertly done. This is exactly what you want in a Mexican restaurant. Highly recommended for anyone in Bellevue seeking genuine, delicious Mexican dining!

    My husband and I went to cactus for the first time and we had such a pleasant experience. They even gave us a free plan because we were our first time customers we will definitely be going back. The waiter was very professional and good at what he does and the nachos was exceptional.

We did, but we were early -- and he immediately told us it wasn't a problem. He cracked a few jokes, which instantly made us feel welcome and happy to be there. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and set the tone for a fantastic evening. We were shown to our seats but noticed the bar was open, so we chose to sit there instead. From the moment we sat down, we were greeted by one of the friendliest bartenders I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He asked about our evening, whether we were celebrating anything special, and genuinely made us feel valued. His service and cocktails were top-notch. He took the time to understand what we liked, offered thoughtful recommendations, and every drink was excellent. On top of that, two different servers stopped by to check on us and let us know they were available if we needed anything while the bartender was busy. That level of teamwork and attentiveness really stood out. What started as a quick nightcap turned into a much longer stay because of how welcoming and enjoyable the atmosphere was. The staff truly made the experience. Highly recommend -- and I'm very much looking forward to coming back.

Locally owned, beautifully run, and absolutely overflowing with craft, Asa is everything a Mercer Island bar should be. The cocktails? Thoughtful, balanced, and downright impressive. The food? Elevated without ever feeling fussy. The atmosphere hits that rare sweet spot between date-night polished and neighborhood familiar. And then there's Zeke--the bar manager, the legend, the mixology wizard, my personal hero. Whether he's crafting something off-menu or guiding you toward your new favorite drink, Zeke and the Asa team deliver hospitality that sticks with you long after the last sip. Asa has quickly earned a spot among the Island's must-visit spots, and if you're lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar, you'll understand why. Come for the cocktails, stay for the people, and leave wondering when you can justify coming back again (hint: the answer is probably tomorrow). Cheers to Asa, to local ownership done right, and to the hero behind the bar.

It's a very small space, they made it cozy and the patio looked great. I had a lot of time to look around because I waited so long. The bakery items were on a plate on the counter right next to the contactless pay thing. There was no cover, or barrier between the pastries and the many people coming to the counter. I've seen buffets that have better distance and covering between people and food. There seemed to be only one barista and one bartender. More people kept coming in, At one point the bartender asked the barista if he could help her, though he wasn't trained. Seems unorganized and coffee was mediocre at best. If you want a cocktail you'd be in the right place, but a cafe this place is not.

    This fizzy drink station is located in the food court at Lincoln Square. Looks alot like a bar they…read moreplaced in the middle of the food court as they have bar seating that spans the front. The menu shows off many colorful fruit flavored carbonated beverages all of which sound delicious. Sometimes its really good and addicting. Other times ive been, ive gotten a few drinks that were flat and very bland flavor as if they skipped adding some of the listed flavors. I dont fully understand why. The concept is simple, they use soda and add a scoop of fruit pulp, a pump or so of syrup, and a sprinkle of dried fruit bits. I could be wrong, but I feel like i noticed they use large bottle of the carbonated drink to pour many drinks, but they go flat over time. Which means some people will get flat drinks. On my last visit i ordered several drinks. One was bland and flat.I tried to get them to remake my flat drink, but they warned me it would still be flat. I insisted as my other drinks we had taste better having more carbonated spark and sweet juicy flavors. They remade it using the same bottle of soda and it was just as flat and bland the second time so I just tossed the drink and sipped on my families drinks that tasted amazing. Idk if i would recommend this location as it seems to be so hit or miss. Maybe just make sure they use fresh soda and also that they give you all the mentioned flavors. Hey, maybe on my last visit they just ran out of flavor and fresh soda and didnt want to tell me. When they make it right, its absolutely worth a try.

Their…read morerefreshments are flavored with real fruit and don't include any added sugar, making them a healthy alternative to sodas, with much more pizazz than just a can of sparkling water. Nine enticing creations make up their menu, all of them being fruity and vibrant in color. Ordering is very simple on the kiosk as you just select your drink and also choose an Adaptogen, which is their version of a health "boost". A few of the Adaptogens are free of cost (I selected the immunity one), but other more premium options will cost a dollar or two extra. According to the staff member, most of the Adaptogens are flavorless. All drinks are $7 each and only come in one size. I've visited on two different occasions and both times, my seltzer was ready in just a couple minutes. + PINEAPPLE BREEZE: A refreshing combination of pineapple purée, passion fruit purée, freeze-dried passion fruit and a thin slice of dried pineapple. Both fruity flavors were balanced; I could taste the bright pineapple and the juicy tropical passion fruit. The seltzer was crisp and perfect to enjoy in the Seattle sun. The freeze-dried passion fruit dissolved over time, strengthening the intensity of its flavor with each sip. + RUBY REFRESHER: This drink included cherry purée in addition to lychee. The menu stated that it also includes coconut, but the employee who helped us said that they have never added coconut to the drink, so I'd suggest that they update the description. Additionally, she said that they were out of the actual lychee fruit which would have otherwise been placed on top, so she substituted with some freeze-dried strawberries. This said, the drink strayed from what was displayed on the menu, but it was still good. The cherry flavor tasted very natural and the lychee flavoring brought a juicy sweetness. With this being located within the Lincoln Food Hall, these seltzers are somewhat of a splurge, but are the perfect addition to round out any meal.

It's at the corner of one of the buildings. Dark, mid sized interior with some cool neon lights and light up marble pattern bar counter. Not very busy when I went at happy hour/dinner time on a Friday night, but the place is busier later at night on Friday/Saturday during the warmer months. Sometimes they have events and DJs. Sat at the bar and tried out some happy hour specials. Got the Korean sauce wings ($12) and cheese truffle fries ($8). Decent amount of fries, definitely has cheese flavor but not that much truffle oil aroma. I liked the wings which you get 6 per order. They weren't fried, but rather tender and juicy. Sauce was agreeable. Definitely enough food for my dinner. As for the drinks, I got the rosemary mule which is Moscow mule with some rosemary herb. The copper mug they use is good sized. Tasted refreshing although could feel the alcohol afterwards. Also tried a corpse reviver no. 2, which was a little sweet but has a punch. Cocktail prices are not cheap outside of happy hour, in the upper teens. Overall, was glad I tried the place out. Will drop by for happy hour once in a while.

We sat for about 10 minutes and had Cliff pour us water and walked away. He then stood in the corner where we were seated and ate what looked like a mango. We waited till he was done and waved him down to take our drink orders. We got our drinks and then he disappeared. We observed other servers taking care of their tables and being present but our server was not to be found. Cliff then appeared back with what looked like tea and stood and drank his tea. We again waited and this experience felt like a prank where there is a hidden camera, waiting for our next move. We were really ready to get up and leave. Slowest service ever. Finally cliff came and we ordered food. Food came out with 15min of ordering. Cod took a little longer. Cod and lamb chops were the best meal of the day. Cod was cooked in such a good gravy and very tasty and so was the lamb. We ordered a variety of naan which was a little chewy. Dessert was the sticky pudding which was very nice. Overall this place is pricey and tip is included so you can't except great service. I would go back here for drinks. But our experience today was awful. Maybe a more engaged server would have changed our experience for the better.
