I almost gave this place three stars, but the tacos were excellent. Wife had cod and I had al pastor. Both were outstanding. The rice is blah and they don't serve refried beans. The cashier had the personality of a tick. We will go back, but just for tacos. Most likely, to go. read more

Mexican Cactus was BOMB.COM . I tried the Al Pastor, Mazateño, and Wagyu Carne Asada tacos, and every single one was packed with flavor. The portions were hefty too, so you definitely get your money's worth. I went during happy hour and the drink specials were solid ($6-$8), which made the experience even better. Tacos are pretty affordable overall, so I had zero complaints there. Now let's talk about the guacamole... easily one of the best I've ever had. Fresh, perfectly seasoned, and addictive. Service was QUICK as well. Absolutely adore the staff. Great food, great vibes, and well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back. read more

This is my favorite street taco place but I wished they had queso. Mezateno was my favorite then pork belly then wagyu. They have a good happy hour special but it's only on the cheaper cuts. Service was super quick & friendly! read more

Loved the ambiance, service and food! This place has a nice energy and vibe. Service was very friendly. We tried five different types of tacos, all were perfection! My fav was Baja shrimp. We only tried the mild red and green tomatillo salsas which were packed with flavor. We happened to go on a Tuesday, so got their Taco-Tuesday pricing, which was great! I wish this place was a bit closer to where we live, so we could go every week... read more

Went here for taco Tuesday. The drinks were pretty good but the tacos were dry. This is one of those places where if you are looking for a deal, it may be where you want to go but the food just wasn't that great. read more

On our first night in Texas, we shared a variety of tacos, guacamole, chips, and sauces. First, let me tell you that guacamole was addicting. It was so good and I couldn't stop eating it. Then, the variety of tacos was mind blowing. They had pork belly tacos, wagyu beef tacos, shrimp tacos, carnitas tacos, lengua tacos, and Al pastor tacos. They were all really tasty and delicious. The portion size was really good too. They gave you a lot of meat in your taco. Service was great. Our order was ready when we arrived. I can't speak to the ambiance, because I did not go to pick up the food. But, I can say that the food tastes great, it was packed well, and we demolished our order. I would definitely go back when I am in the area. read more

Really enjoyed our visit here. We started with the fundito queso, which was rich and tasty. The asada taco was the standout, super flavorful. The shrimp taco was good too. The fish taco seemed more like salmon (it was also pink) than mahi, but still tasted fine. The al pastor didn't have much flavor, but the fresh flour tortillas were a nice touch. I'd love to see fresh corn tortillas offered as well. Ask for the red and green salsas, they're great! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the place felt clean. The big mural on the wall is really eye-catching and well done. Overall, a solid 3.5-star spot that I'm happy to round up to 4. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I want to give this place 5 stars. BUT, they use CANOLA OIL, the most toxic of the "seed oils", in their cooking. I was soooo disappointed when I asked. As a certified nutritional therapist, I know how dangerous this oil is to the human body. I had high hopes that this wonderful restaurant would be bold and make the decision to use safe oils in their food production, bc they boast about making so much of their offerings "in house" and "from scratch". The atmosphere its cool and fun, the food is absolutely amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. But canola oil is POISON and it is time that restaurants STOP using it!! Do better Mexican Cactus Taco Bar!! Other than that one thing...you are 5 star for sure!!! read more

WOW! I searched for local lunch specials and this one caught my eye.. $10.99 for three tacos, rice and beans.. steal! They also a daily flavor for margaritas so I elected to go try them out on a Wednesday because I'm a sucker for guava. It was pretty busy inside which I took for a good sign. The staff I encountered were all friendly and professional, I especially appreciate how on the ball they were with keeping the restaurant clean even during a lunch rush. I ended up ordering 1 carne asada, 1 baja bang shrimp, and 1 pollo azteca taco. I can't even tell you which one was my favorite because they were all so delicious and flavorful. The beans and rice tasted fresh and on point. My guava margarita ($7.49) with a sugar rim was strong and insanely yummy. This spot will be a regular one for me! :) read more

The menu is FULL of great choices. Meat. Fish. Chicken. Pork. Several varieties of tacos in each category. Then a breakfast, kids and vegan selections. Amazing variety. Made so fresh and so tasty and so fast! Order at the counter and a runner brings to table - and checks back later. Super fresh. The restaurant seats so many ppl! Low tops. High tops. Bar seating. The food prep line is super clean and well run. Ingredients are thoughtful and very well matched to food. They have beer and limited liquor too! And order counter employees are friendly and efficient. Cafe is incredibly clean. A 10/10 experience! read more

We rolled in on a Tuesday. Tacos were $3.25 each (except the fancy specialty ones). * Al Pastor: not fatty at all just pure flavor. * Pollo Azteca: juicy, bold, and flavorful . * Baja Shrimp: crispy but not greasy and packed with flavor. To wash it down, I had a strawberry mojito on happy hour for $8.99 because tacos and mojitos go perfect together! The staff? Super friendly. The restaurant is very clean and everything in place. And yes, even the restrooms. We'll definitely be back! read more

Mexican Cactus Taco in McKinney is a taco lover's dream--any kind of taco you want, and every one of them packed with amazing flavor! My favorite was the Panela taco with grilled queso blanco, refried pinto beans, cilantro, and a sprinkle of cotija cheese. Absolutely delicious. But honestly... everything was EXCELLENT! Great flavors, fresh ingredients, and friendly vibes. A must-try spot in McKinney! read more

The absolute BEST tacos! Love the carne asada and the pork with pineapple. Food is always consistently yummy!

What I don't understand about this place is why there isn't a long line out the door. This is by far the best taco spot my husband and I have ever been to. Carne Asada Tacos: 11 out of 10 Wagyu Carne Asada Taco: 8 out of 10 Baja Bang Shrimp Taco: 10 out of 10 Mahi-Mahi Taco: 10 out of 10 Carnitas Taco: 10 out of 10 The only down side, but didn't affect my rating because the tacos were amazing, was the guacamole. I didn't realize that their guac was loaded with cotija cheese and I can't have cheese so I went to the front to see if they can make me a new guac. They happily said they would give me a new one without cheese but you can tell that they just scooped the cheese out the old one and gave it back. (There was the cheese on the side of the guac holder) They should pay more attention for people with allergies because this being anyone else they could have spazzed out. Other than that, this place deserves all the hype they can get! read more

I admit I am a bit of a taco snob. That being said, this place is legit. Modern Latino feel, counter service but friendly service nonetheless. Fillings are great. Had the asada, bang-bang shrimp, pork belly and chicken Azteca. Full of flavor with variety of home made salsas. Rita's are delicious-top shelf was a favorite. Suggestions to make this a 5-star review: better corn tortillas worthy of the filling and roasted corn for the elote. read more

Do not order from this restaurant through Yelp. Paid Grubhub fees - I'm okay with that. Missing chips in the chips and salsa order ($4.29). Contacted the restaurant. They said get a refund from Grubhub or come to the restaurant and pick up chips. We got delivery for a reason and couldn't go get the chips. Couldn't get a refund from Grubhub because I didn't order through the app. Restaurant had no accountability for packing the bag incorrectly. Bad business in my opinion. read more

OMG, this place was amazing. Gluten Free and the flavors... These people have got it going on for sure. If you are wanting street tacos then stop by if you are in the area.

I have been putting off coming here for some time because I assumed I knew what I was getting into. What the heck,today is National Taco Day so, I through caution to the wind. I've seen strong reviews by a dependable Yelper or two so I felt comfortable asking Mexican Cactus to " Bring It"! Really glad I stopped in for National Taco Day. Their food is fresh,well prepared and generous. Prices are good and atmosphere is new. Friendly service rounds out a easy experience. Elote- corn in a cup was decent Fundido de Chorizo was excellent Cod Fish Tacos were large and flavorful Carne Asada taco was fantastic They have beer, margaritas and soft drinks available. Order at the counter,take a seat and your order is brought to you. They did a great job for a casual dining place, of bringing the Fundido appetiser first with time to enjoy before the tacos were brought. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend you... Go! read more

What a cute taco shop in Allen. Glad I checked out this place. It is clean and very spacious. Their service was fast and all the staff were friendly and helpful. I was surprised by their tacos... I thought they were really good. I absolutely loved that they had like 6 different salsas to try with your tacos ranging in degrees of hot. I do love spicy! I will definitely be back to visit. read more

Have my staple of DFW area Tex-Mex locations, but tried this on recommendation of a friend. It didn't disappoint. Large selection of tacos in a small strip shopping center storefront. The service is friendly and quick. Tacos are served fresh and hot. Tacos are much larger than expected for street tacos. I ordered the 3 taco combo and couldn't finish it all. Recommend the Al pastor, carne asada and carnitas tacos. read more

Great little taco shop. We went for taco Tuesday and didn't disappoint. Had a few cocktails and beers. Excellent food and service.

Went for the first time for lunch. This won't be my last! Great service, large food menu and drink selection and food was delicious! Guacamole was fresh. Ordered the Carnitas and Mahi Mahi! Mahi was my favorite. The prices are extremely good! The place is very clean! read more

Bought 3 taco's, chicken, Al pastor, and tofu. Great taste and seemed fresh. Their sour cream also nice. Also bought a chicken quesadilla, which was good. Only complaint is when I asked for hot sauce they told me there were two in the bag and there was just green sauce. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this place for lunch because it was surprised to see such a high rated taco place in Allen. It was pretty busy for a rainy day during lunchtime. We took advantage of their lunch special - 3 tacos for $9.99 with rice and beans. What a steal! Between the both of us we ordered the pork belly, shrimp, codfish, and carne asada. The only one I wasn't a fan of was the codfish - it wasn't flavored enough but cooked perfectly ! The elote was also subpar. I would come back over and over again, especially for that pork belly. This will definitely take over my Torchy's Taco obsession. read more

Highly recommend trying this place. A few things stood out to me: amazing service, great and friendly staff, really good prices especially on drinks, cleannnnnn establishment, beautiful murals, and good food! The food was so good. The street-style tacos are authentic and packed with flavor. The ambiance is both vibrant and welcoming, further enhanced by the enjoyable music that plays throughout the restaurant. Pair all this with their diverse and refreshing beverage selection and you have a winning combination. read more

Large variety of amazing tacos, sides, and sauces. Love the carne asada and fish tacos!!!!

Overall I was happy and satisfied. I tried the 3 TACO lunch special and the price was great. The food was tasty and quantity AND quality were both good. I love that you can mix and match tacos. Inside was clean and the staff was busy with lots of customers. The tacos were very fulfilling. The meat was well seasoned. The Al Pastor was probably my favorite it was full of flavor. The steak was my 2nd favorite well seasoned and the cilantro, onions and lime gave it the perfect touch. The shrimp taco was ok I don't have to get it again. I think if they were grilled shrimp and not fried I would like it better. It just didn't do anything for me. The salsa red was better to me. The Margarita that day was Pineapple. This drink was better than I expected. It was refreshing, but had a nice mix of alcohol. They have daily flavors and I look forward to trying another flavor. Quick, simple fast food concept with flavorful tacos and drinks! I will be back and will make sure to take photos of the food. read more

Vegan taco Tuesday! The staff is super helpful. They were able to "veganize" our tacos by taking off the eggs, cheese, and sauce (when applicable), as well as use corn tortillas. Both the red and green salsas are vegan friendly so we used them instead of any other sauce we removed. We were able to have full vegan meals with a margarita, 3 different taco types, and chips and guacamole. Chips and salsa are vegan as well. On Tuesday nights they have specials on both tacos and margaritas! We'll be back. read more
