Okay so the food was great. Service was pretty good. But the DJ on this night!!!! No no no nooo. It was waaayyyyy tooooooo loud. Literally deafening. Louder than being in a club. We just wanted dinner. We had no idea there'd be a DJ. But when we saw one setting up, cool, we like music. But immediately it started with a loud siren then into unintelligible talk into a microphone then music way too loud for such a small place. Again, we like music and we enjoy when there's live music at dinner. And DJs are fine. But holy smokes. I asked our server if there was any way to turn it down juuuuuuust a smidge. She asked the DJ. He said we are free to move to a different spot. Well we were already as far from him as you could get in such a small establishment. So I'm sorry, Crazy Cactus, but you are taking the ding for allowing such loud music. Videos for example. read more

We were seated immediately. There was only one other table occupied. The server was sweet but either she didn't put in our whole order or the kitchen messed up. My husband and I ordered the same thing except he added grilled jalapeños to his. My order was brought out in a reasonable time. She said nothing about his food when she dropped mine off. She came back and brought the tortillas she forgot and said his food would be right out. NINE minutes later he got his food. No apologies or explanations given. The food itself was bland. No flavor in the chorizo or chicken. The bell peppers were crunchy, almost raw. Disappointing experience. read more

Crazy Cactus - Alambres - Mexican Near Me - Olive Branch, Mississippi

The food was good and the proportions were generous. We had a late lunch and the service was fine. Didn't have to wait long for anything. Reading other reviews, it seems people are complaining about the automatic tip (ours was 15%). You cannot control the price of the food or the tax so you will take it out on the only person you can: your wait staff. For those in the back, not leaving a tip isn't hurting the people you want to hurt. The waiter has no control over when the food is ready or the quality thereof. You can always ask for a manager to adjust the bill but please don't take it out on the waitstaff unless they are truly incompetent. read more

Crazy Cactus - Margaritas! Best in town - Mexican Near Me - Olive Branch, Mississippi

Food was pretty good (see attached photos). The free salsa that came with the complimentary corn chips was too salty. My dinner companions really liked the various flavors of frozen margaritas that they had. Service was friendly and fairly efficient. The manager came by the table and said hi. He recognized some of my family members who had visited several times previously. Ambience was okay. It's just a cinder block building without any real redeeming artistic significance. For those dining inside of the restaurant, there is a mandatory, 18% gratuity, automatically added to the check. The men's restroom was relatively clean. There's a baby changing station only within the women's restroom. read more

Terrible service. Never got my food. Could not get any answers when I repeatedly called.

food was disgusting and cold, i didn't get what i ordered.I asked for birria and if you know anything abt mexican food then you know this isn't birria it's literally asada. my server was sitting at a table in front of me and my sister on her phone the whole time. didn't offer refills nor did she ask if our food was correct. Other servers at the bar were cursing extremely loud ( i don't mind that you curse but it is extremely un professional to do it where everyone can hear) The server also added a 20% gratuity on a one person check. She also never came to check on us and we had to flag her down for anything we needed. 0/10 food was disgusting and extremely upset our stomachs, been shitting for hours. read more

The food and prices are good. I don't live in the area. This is the second time I have dined on a Saturday night. They cater to a low-class clientele on Saturday nights. The rap music is so loud you can't hear yourself. I asked the owner if he would ask the DJ to turn the music down. He emphatically refused. I guess profits trump standards band decency. It turns into a rap club. This is my last visit. If I had known, I would have gone to a ghetto club! We must take a stand against the Degradation of values. read more

Food was good, service was great. So why only three stars? No business should dictate how much a customer should tip. This business automatically includes the tip. Not a good business plan and if the service had been poor sometimes a zero tip is deserving. It's bad enough Biden economics has raised inflation everywhere, don't need businesses doing the same. read more

Really good food. Really good service. Really good Margaritas, th eSunday special. Really , really good. They have a mandatory 15% gratuity. That's a pain because they don't really tell you and it should be higher. Not good for the servers. Some would say it's a bit expensive for Mexican food but I don't think so. Prices are up everywhere. read more

The food was okay but the service was terrible. It took a long time to receive our food and drinks.

The food was was okay, but the service ranges from poor to mediocre at best. In comparison to other patrons I received my drinks and food 5-10 minutes later. read more

We ordered take-out from here and the experience was just ok. We got two santa fe burritos, a crazy burger with fries, and some street tacos. The street tacos were decent, good filling but not much flavor. The Santa Fe burritos were wonderful. The crazy burger was not that good. The fries did not come with any ketchup. They charged us extra for a very small amount of salsa. read more

The worst Mexican restaurant! I ordered dinner from this restaurant using Uber eats on 2 occasions and both the times the order was wrong. The enchilada suizas should be only chicken and I got beef and chicken. I don't eat beef. The entire order tasted nasty. My earlier experience was equally bad but I thought I will give them a second chance but looks like I shouldn't have. Never ordering from this establishment again! read more

A lot of the low rating reviews are people being petty, or perhaps they didn't go to the same Crazy Cactus in OB that I go to. My wife and I have eaten here at least 25 times and have brought friends and family here when they visit. In all of those visits you would think that we'd experience one of the issues that the one-star folks talked about. In all of our visits the food had been delicious and brought to the table in a timely manner (even when we had an eight top). The service has always been exceptional, very friendly and prompt with refills. The atmosphere is great, not too loud but not awkwardly quiet. So again, I'm not sure where these other folks ate, but we'll always be back to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant: Crazy Cactus. read more

Had dinner early Friday evening. Good service and good affordable food. Would recommend for a quick evening bite.

I totally didn't think that another visit to this place would warrant an even worse review than the last one. I was wrong. I went with my youngest two children for a Sunday lunch. I let them choose the place and they love Mexican places, had seen this one, and wanted to try it. I didn't tell them I had been before and wasn't a fan. I just rolled with it and took them there thinking it had to be better. I'll keep it short as possible. This place sucks! They served me old ass carnitas that were cold, dry, and hard. Imagine the worst cook in your family's pot roast the had been over cooked, held, and then slightly reheated. The manager stopped by and asked "how are the carnitas"?. I said cold and dry. He looked confused and then bolted away and never showed his face again. My server asked "how is it" I said "it's not good". Again I was given no response, only a blank expression. Hello. I said it wasn't good! He finally came back after avoiding me and said "you can ask for your check anytime". My kid didn't even eat her cheese quesadilla because she said it tasted like rubber. Now hear this. I will always pay for what I order no matter if it sucks due to mine or the businesses fault. I leave it all up to them to make me happy. Otherwise you get one fucking star! Done. Done. Done. read more

It's okay, everything had too much cheese. Other Mexican spots don't use cheese sauce on their molcajetes. Flavors were good but too heavy. People were intoxicated in the parking lot and being obnoxious. Don't know if I would return again. read more

Terrible, horrible I will never go back again. Service sucks. Couldn't understand me. They automatically tipped gratuity with two people. And added 20% tip They suck. The food wasn't even that good overcharged never recommend again. read more

We decided to give this place a try. What a mistake. It was pretty much the worst Mexican food we ever had. Absolutely tasteless in every way. No spice, no cilantro, simply no flavor whatsoever. I am not quite sure how they managed it lol. I would really advise a hard pass on this place. Won't be giving them a second chance. read more

I have been passing by the Crazy Cactus restaurant for months here in Olive branch. I finally decided to give this place a try. My wife and I arrived around 6:30pm. Happy hour was still in place, so we decided to try the lime Margaritas. This were very good! I ordered the Enchiladas Supreme nd my wife ordered the Chicken Chimichunga(both served with rice/beans) for $9.99 each. These were both cooked very nicely seasoned and had a very authentic taste to it. I have tried multiple Mexican Restaurants and this one ranks in my top 5 now :) Food was abundant and almost did not finish my Margarita! They have caryokie starting at 9PM so this place on the weekends is packed! The only negative about the Crazy Cactus is the parking is not very plentiful; However, people come and go with carryout orders so there is some open spots. This will be for sure a repeat visit for me! The atmospere is like a sports bar, but there are both tables and booths for couples. The owner came by are table and told us they have been open for a year(since 2016). Highly recommended for good Mexican dishes! Check it out if you come to Olive branch :) read more

Great Authentic Mexican Restaurant! The food was delicious, good margaritas and my father said it was the best rice he had ever had! I had the fajita chicken tacos...they were fresh and wonderful like authentic street tacos I had in El Paso! Our service was a little slow and lacking but that's an easy fix. Once word gets out about the excellent food better servers will come! read more

Enchiladas Rancheros were so salty that I could not eat it. I gave part of it to my wife to see if she liked because she likes salty food. She couldn't eat it either. However the lettuce and sour cream were wonderful read more

Never ordering from this restaurant again. I used Uber eats to order dinner twice and on both the occasions they got my order wrong. I ended up getting beef in my vegetarian order!!. The restaurant made no efforts to rectify the situation. The food tastes terrible as well. Regret wasting my money on this establishment. read more

Ordered a burrito with chips and salsa. I enjoyed that the burrito was full of meat. You don't often get burritos where the meat isn't lacking in ratio to other ingredients. Nice work! read more

watch out they include a 15% tip automatically. Also some kind of cash discount? Dont know why that was charged. two margaritas and dinner was $95 dollars!!!!!!!! crazy for sure!!!! read more

I honestly don't feel like they deserved two stars. I was craving tacos. I usually go to the food truck near my house. Got on door dash and then came on here and compared reviews. They said the street tacos were good. I ordered two orders. For how much I paid they should have came with cheese. No biggie I ordered a side of cheese dip. Man these were the MOST UNDER SEASONED tacos I've ever had .I am so forgiving but I honestly wasted my money tonight. Maybe their other items are good. So maybe I will give them another try and dine in. But if you do go, don't order the street tacos. read more

Good food, excellent margaritas, and friendly service. Music is a little loud, but it can be overlooked if you talk loud enough. One of my go-to places for casual Mexican food. Only thing I don't like is the mandatory included gratuity, no matter the party size. read more

I love Mexican food and the more authentic, the better. Not that I don't like Tex Mex, I do, but we all have our preferences. The place is sort of subdivided into dive bar section, large open group space, and booths. We were seated at a booth. I normally prefer this, but at 5'6" I felt like I needed a booster chair for this table. I'll ask for a table next time and maybe they'll get an extra star for not making me feel small. Now for the food, please pardon my lack of knowledge of the menu as went a couple days ago and don't remember the name if my dish. First of all it's pretty much standard fare with a couple of exceptions. The salsa is spicy but good. My husband ordered the chipotle chicken quesadilla and enjoyed it. I ordered something out waitress recommended that I think started with an "a". Had a choice of meat so I chose steak. I liked it but was surprised it wasn't served with tortillas. I would get it again. Our waitress was Irma. I thought she was going to be standoffish at first, but I'm happy to say I was very wrong. Turns out she had a great personality and makes good dinner recommendations. There is another waitress there we know from elsewhere, Krystal and I can tell you from experience she will be good to you as well. Other staff members checked on us throughout dinner as well, which was nice. Overall a good experience, but please play Prince Royce, Don Omar, Enrique,....anything other than country. read more

Had the best chicken street tacos here that I've ever eaten anywhere... literally anywhere - in my life. Shockingly delicious. My husband ordered chicken and cheese with beans and the beans were amazing... just exceptional. The salsa is fresh with hunks of veggies and the service was fast and attentive. No wonder this place is always so crowded. I will be back... often. I told the manager (nice guy) how much we enjoyed the food and he was very appreciative. Nice vibe with the staff - good vibes in general. I'll try to give other dishes a try, but I don't know I can come near this place and not order the chicken tacos every single time. Literally cannot wait to come back. Yum!!!! read more

On February 16 around 7:45p, I called Crazy Cactus to place a order for pick-up. I told the guy I wanted a Steak Burrito No Beans. He then asked did I want the cheese poured on the burrito or on the side. I told him that I would like to have the cheese sauce on the side and I emphasized that I did not want beans. They gave me a burrito with just tortilla and meat. I called the manager to tell him and he told me that people order their burritos as such and I should have told the guy taking my order what burrito I wanted. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I eat at this place a few times a month. But just for his poor attitude and his lack of response to fix the issue, I DEFINETLY WILL NOT ORDER THERE AGAIN. Thanks read more
