New inside

So they finally moved to a different location. Still close to the old location. Use to be the old Danny's, next to Roy's. Same great food (I've left a review before on the food, just giving an update on the new location). More table and even have a small party area. A waiting area in the inside now. Same nice staff. Parking outside is not Hugh but they are not sharing it with other businesses anymore.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The grilled chicken is incredibly seasoned well, the rice is always fresh and the beans are packed…read morewith flavor, as well as nice and hot. Service was fast and attentive, searing took a little bit but this place is always busy so expect a short wait. The atmosphere was bustling with customers and hungry folks. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

I…read morehad the Mexican meatloaf, which was definitely not something I would normally expect at a Mexican restaurant, but it was unique and wonderful. The chorizo and ranchero sauce really made it stand out. The Mexican street corn on the side might have been even better. That stuff is seriously addicting like crack. I could have eaten a bowl of it by itself. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Iron Cactus sits right along the River Walk and has a pretty good-sized space. Walking in, I could…read moreimmediately tell they were going for that moody, dimly lit, relaxing atmosphere. Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.
