Menu is a mix of latin dishes, Spanish style rice with prawns, corn and beans was flavorful. The nachos were different than expected with thick tortillas topped with salsa, guacamole and pulled pork. A nice kick with jalapeños as well. The fish tacos were dry. No salsa just a square breaded chunk of fish atop cabbage. Average. The Michelada was ok. You can choose your beer and then a little tomato juice, lots of chili salt and lime juice is added. I think the food and drinks here are hit or miss. Would ask for extra hot sauce or salsa on the side to spice up the dishes.

Cheap and cheerful Mexican in Loughborough town centre. Although the interior is fairly basic, the…read morefood alone is worth a visit. Menu includes all the usual Mexican suspects - nachos (the best I've had anywhere), fajitas, burrito etc etc. Cactus Café is reliable - the food is consistently fabulous and I've never had a bad meal here. Mexican beers and cocktails also add to the appeal! Staff are friendly and helpful. It's worth booking, particularly on Mondays and Tuesdays which are cheap nights (two courses for about £8) and ask about their discount card which entitles you to two courses for a fiver on Mondays AND raises money for a cancer charity.

This is a genuinely good Mexican and I visit at every available opportunity. The menu is the usual fare Burrito's, Fajitas, Nachos, Quesidillas etc, but the taste is absolutely fantastic.

If you can fit in a dessert I would highly recommend them! Book as this place gets busy at weekends (and even during the week).

We have been here a few times over the years and have always been impressed with the food. Here, in Texas, we're used to a certain type of 'Texas-down-home-cookin' and Cactus Jack's gets as close to it as I'd expect in the UK. The ribs and chicken dishes are very good (better than some of the places here in Houston). The service is good, and that's saying a lot from us overly demanding Americans. The portion sizes are generous by UK standards. The part I love the best is the interior design. The restaurant isn't just Southwest themed, it's like walking into an old saloon. There is a old school jail cell in the back you can have dinner in. There's tons of gnarly wood everywhere. One time when we were in there, there was a whole troop of older people dressed in Western wear. It was awesome. I did have to correct them once because they had the Texas flag hanging upside down, but I can forgive them on it (people in the USA in other states would get it wrong too). They did fix it and I was satisfied. The only totally weird thing is the waffle dessert. In the USA, waffles are not dessert items, we eat them for breakfast. They do not taste sugary or have little lumps of sugar inside of them. We don't top them with ice cream and chocolate sauce. But honestly, the waffle dessert at Cactus Jack's is so good, maybe we should! If you live in the Donny area and haven't been... Go! Try it out! This is a recommendation from a real Texan who has a cactus somewhere in the vicinity (Houston is actually kinda like a jungle).

As a a treat my better half decided to treat me to dinner..fancying Mexican food he suggested Chiquitos.. I was like nope ..lets try here.. I had not realised it relocation until he said it was round the corner from him.. Stepping in, the decor was spot on. Nicely spaced out tables, perfect lighting oh and doors on the ceiling.. The background music was epic for me, full of nostalgic hits from my youth ahh. Immediately we were greeted and seated by a kind waitress who was a little too keen taking our drink order but then returned after a few minutes. For those that don't drink there is a plentiful innovate mocktail menu amongst a good selection of beer, wine and cider etc. I chose a standard pino colada which was the perfect consistency and booze balance, Himself had a standard cup of tea which was served in bone china :) The menu itself is varied too, it ranges from Mexican, Thai to Brazilian. Knowing by now not to not have eyes bigger than my belly I settled on a Seafood Stew served with rice and beans. Himself selected the beef strip burrito. The quantity of seafood in mine was plentiful. It contained fresh tasting prawns, whitefish, green lipped mussels and squid. It was similar to a Thai soup but thicker and went well with the accompaniments. He was very pleased with his burrito, I was too full to try any of his . Finally we checked out the desserts, I was slightly let down as it lacked churros :( so we passed and enjoyed a liqueur coffee instead. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty and averagely priced. The service was very attentive with friendly staff asking at the right times if everything was okay. Oh and they had lolly pops on the way out...winner.. Would I be back? Yes certainly.

I had the Hungry Gaucho which is basically a burger but that doesn't do it justice - the burger patty is topped with pulled pork, barbecue sauce, bacon and cheese and was astonishingly good. Served with fries which very nice if a little bit too salty for my taste and onion rings. Sparky went for the lamb tagine - not something we were expecting to see on the menu since someone had described the place to us as "steak and burgers". The tagine was great and the lamb practically melted in your mouth. It gets very busy here very fast, so book a table if you're coming. A little bit on the noisy side, and the drinks aren't cheap but the food is definitely worth it.

I had the fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding with custard. Entree was great, pudding was great, prolly will skip the custard next time though because, while it was delicious, they filled a cereal bowl full of it with the custard aaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll the way down in the bottom like a sunken pirate ship. Staff are super friendly, they have a playground outside and a WHOLE PARKING LOT. Just glorious. Now, my one real critique is this, and it's for the owners so if you're not them you can skip the rest of this review: per your Tex Mex chicken with the Cajun seasoning; Cajun is NOT Tex Mex. Cajun is its own cuisine from Louisiana inspired by French cuisine and African American soul food. Tex Mex is Texas (think cowboy Chuck wagon type stuff) and Mexican, so not French or Soul Food inspired at all. Not even a little bit. Not even close. That's one heck of a fusion y'all lol

(My first time!) For mains we had - Burrito - beef chilli with hot heat and some skin on fries, firstly this was amazing, a typical Mexican style Burrito, nice and warm, really tasty to! The guac really added a nice earthy bite! Sister had three tacos loaded with pulled pork and chicken again; she said they were tasty, the cheese melted on top adds a real nice topper flavour! For desert I had a Chocolate chilli tart, really weird for me however, a nice soft tart with a heavy chocolate taste and the chilli hits the back of the throat with the aftertaste, adds for a nice spicy bite! A drink to share we had the Chupacabra, a nice rum heavy drink with fresh flavour and a dang hit to the throat! Overall a nice evening topped off with a Mexican Sombrero to take home

The prices are outstanding, providing more than a full meal for a very minimal price. The quality of food in no 2ay reflects this cheap cost though. Ultimately I'd highly reccomend anyone to check out tortilla. Specifically the nachos. A plate the size pictured for only £5. Delicious Bargain.
