The menu
Yadhira L.

It's an easy spot to miss being such a tiny building next to another tiny building sandwiched between bigger restaurants down SW Military Drive. I've been here several times and I still set my gps to find it. The menu is straightforward. You must always get an order of quesobirria. That cheesy taco with consome is the stuff of midnight cravings. The servings are very generous and even though I order it plus an order of trompo tacos I can never get to the trompo. I save it for later. Their aguas frescas are also delicious. They have more than the usual 3 offerings. It's more like 7 flavors. I tried the coconut the last time. It was good but too many chunky bits. At least you know it's fresh and not powder mix. I've also had lemonade and pineapple. My friends like the cucumber flavor but it can be extra sweet. The place is small but has decent indoor seating. The music, however, is blasting! You can't hear anything. We have to ask them to lower the volume. Even the waitress was like "Que??" We're like, exactly! Turn down the music! Usually we do drive thru but feel like it takes too long. We just sit and wait because I don't think there's another quesobirria place nearby.

Such a colorful experience

Listen, this spot is freaking adorable and delicious! When you pull up don't miss the great photo opp spot in the back of the building When you walk in you'll see they are really aiming to make this spot feel authentically Mexican. From their colorful, perfect for food photo countertops to their casually classic corona dining tables, it all served a purpose NOW, THE FOOD We tried the Trompo, Bistec, & Lengua mini tacos along with the amazing Quesabarria with the beloved consume THIS WAS THE WINNER! Opened that bad boy up and poured in their tasty salsa verde and a little pico de gallo, then followed that up with a deep dip in their consume...WOW!!! We paired these up with a cocacolamx and Topo Chico for the perfect Mexican street food dinner! Get out to support this Southside business between 11AM & MIDNIGHT weekdays & until 1AM on weekends. Tell em who sent ya #AngelFoodDude

Tacos de bistek

A tiny yet comfortable place, that came across looking for torta and end up ordering, Mini tacos de bistec. First observation was the meat, most of the places now in days smash the meat so tiny you can hardly see a piece, garnished with the traditional cilantro and onion but with a touch of freshness cucumber and radish ! Also the birria quesadilla was delicious served with consomé not spicy just well seasoned. Worth driving to the south from the north, lol. Good place for hangovers just saying.

My son really wanted tacos & we've been wanting to try this place out. Walking in it's a pretty small place but it's so beautifully decorated! I absolutely love the vibe it gives. It also smells absolutely amazing. He had the bistec tacos and they were good. My son & I rate restaurants on how good their green salsa is, as it's our favorite. He rated it a 9 out of 10. So we recommend !!! @ I can't wait to come back and try out the rest of the tacos.

Hamburgers and Hotdogs

Food was great. The boys loved the Birria Ramen and Me and the Little Lady really enjoyed the Quesabirria tacos. It's a small restaurant but there is plenty of seating inside and there is even a drive through.

Our waitress didn't speak English but she was still very helpful there are people there who speak English tho the food food came out very quickly ...it is not very large so if you're planning on having a big party it would probably not be that comfortable But the food is amazing we had the beans the number two the Number three and then just plain bistek quesadillas Plus we had the Peppino con lemon drink and the Horchata fresa everything here is a very good very flavorful very fresh.... definitely coming back and bringing people if you want some yummy food like streak tacos or birira come to this awesome place

Menu if your not feeling like tacos

If you are a taco connoisseur of any sort this is the spot. I am a sucker for taco trucks when I see one and it's lunch or dinner time. This restaurant is top notch for offering specialty tacos normally not seen on any taco truck or restaurant. Some very good examples of tacos not seen in everyday USA menus are tacos de "campechana", "labio", "ojo", and my favorite "suadero". These types of tacos are more "cultural" to certain types of Mexican regions but all under one roof. This will be my top recommendation for tacos in Texas and maybe the USA until I find better.

Quesabirria

Hands down, the best birria I've had. The meat was juicy and tender. Really enjoyed the quesabirria tacos and consomme. The added potato was interesting. Also had great lengua taco, buche taco, and beans. Fast, friendly service. Lots more items on the menu I'd like to try.

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.

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.
