The food, drinks, and service were amazing. Allison makes the best margaritas. Love this place. I will definitely be back.

The owners and staff are wonderful. They make you feel like a part of the family and the food is great. You couldn't ask for more.

We visited Sticky Cactus Mexican Restaurant and overall had a good experience. My daughter ordered the cheese quesadilla with fries, my wife had the cheese dip and a large strawberry margarita, and I ordered the fried fish tacos with rice and beans. The food was good for the most part. The cheese quesadilla, fries, cheese dip, margarita, fish tacos, and beans were all enjoyable. The only issue was the rice. It had a burnt taste, and once I tasted that, it took away from the rest of the meal a bit. Outside of that, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was nicely decorated with a good atmosphere. Overall, it was a solid visit with just one food issue that kept it from being a better experience. read more

My family and I have been returning for the past 15 years. The new owners have personally came to greet us and introduce themselves. The updates to the new decor are a refreshing touch. And the food is always amazing! Staff is great, very personable and fast service. We will keep returning! Give it a shot and I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Went there at 645 to watch the 1st half of the NFL game at 815. We were watching the end of the NASCAR race which was on the surround sound. We as the bar were notified by the bar tender that the owners would not allow the nfl game to be put on the surround sound. The bar tender stated that the owners would only allow the radio on after the race. Needles to say me and most of the patrons left and will not return. Apparently the owners dont care about there frequent patrons!! read more

DO. NOT. EAT. HERE. I should've known it wasn't authentic when they told me they put sour cream ON TOP of the burrito. Shout out to our server Ashley though she was wonderful. Anyway, I've been shitting straight liquid ever since I left. When I first went to sit on the toilet I thought my pee hole got wider due to the liquidity of my poop. I haven't gotten any sleep all night because my stomach has been hitting the quan since 8pm yesterday. My sweet sweet relief was throwing up a few minutes ago and getting that God forsaken food out of my system once and for all. My wife has also been shooting poop out of her butthole like a fire hydrant. All in all def DO. NOT. EAT. HERE. The margaritas were bad too. read more

I've visited this restaurant several times, and the California burrito is usually my go-to favorite. Unfortunately, today's experience was very disappointing from start to finish. When my waitress brought out my silverware, it was visibly dirty and greasy. She brought out four additional sets, and every single one still had residue on them. Instead of acknowledging the issue, she kept insisting they were just "watermarks," but this was clearly grease and leftover residue. At one point, she even asked if I just wanted plastic silverware. Then the food came out, and it honestly tasted burnt. The rice was crunchy, and the overall quality was nowhere near what I've experienced here before. When I asked to speak with a manager, the explanation given was that sometimes the black beans can taste burnt -- but this was more than that. I hate leaving negative reviews because I've genuinely enjoyed this restaurant in the past, but today was not a good experience at all. I hope management takes cleanliness and food quality more seriously moving forward. read more

Their beef Chili Relleno was the best I've had in decades! Whenever I go to any Mexican Restaurant, I always order a Chili Relleno. Sticky Cactus' brought tears to my eyes, it was that good. Order extra cheese dip to ladle more on it. The beef taco (no lettuce) was good as well as the beef burrito. Next time I'm ordering TWO Chili Relleno's and nothing else. The service was fantastic and playing country music was better than the usual Mex music. read more

They food was great good size portions. Our waitress was very friendly. Cute atmosphere. Price was fair. We will be back. read more

Once again I have been filled with joy. My Texas fajitas (chicken/steak) were absolutely delicious. Thanks to the owners and staff.This family will keep all of you in our thoughts and wish nothing but the best to your future patrons experience. A+ read more

Sticky Cactus - Once again the service is absolutely amazing. I had the Texas Fajitas,1800 Silver dressed an chilled and the cheese dip for the fajitas. - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

See all

Absolutely disgusting. I haven't had food this disgusting in a long time . The food had no flavor at all . It's almost like they just cook the food and don't season it . Service was nice tho the waitress was very kind and attentive. But I will NEVER eat here again . read more

Food is delish, service great and it's open on Sundays. Family friendly with good music

This restaurant was recently purchased and obviously the management changed. The shame of it all is one of the first things the management did was increased the prices but didn't improve the food. Since they have owned this place I patronized the place on at least a dozen different occasions. Unfortunately for me and the other customers on at least five visits during this winter, the temperature was, and I believe turned down around 7:30-8:00 by the owners on purpose by using a wi-fi controlled thermostat!!! On a few of these days the temperature outside was in the 20's. With that said, the indoors temperature was 66-68 degrees. Everyone in the restaurant, including in the bar had to wear jackets!!!! This is ridiculous and poor management. I anticipate the decline in this restaurant is eminent!! Not only that none of the employees can adjust the temperature for the comfort of the customers. The employees say I'm sorry there's nothing we can do! Absolutely a disgrace!!!!! read more

Food was great last night and Regina is a super sweet manager. She was working til close when her grand baby was about to be delivered. That's a hard dedicated worker and it shows. Will definitely be back. read more

California Burrito bowel just tasteless. This is a bowel beans with steak. I don't want to come back to this place. read more

Great waitress and service and foods was excellent!! Bingo night was great!! Will be back again

Sticky Cactus - Fried ice cream. Love it. - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

This is a two-edged sword kind of review. While as McDonough locals we have been to this restaurant a number of times, and the food is great, I would caution you not to order alcohol. We visited SC a few days ago and ordered a margarita with some good brand tequila. Unfortunately, when it came, one sip and it tasted almost rancid. We sent it back for that reason and asked for an iced tea. When the bill came, the charge for the margarita ($18) was still on there. The manager on duty said alcohol is "final sale." Never have I experienced a restaurant that charged for an unacceptable, awful tasting product. In trying to reason with the manager, she finally offered to split the cost of the margarita as if she were doing us a favor. I suggest you patronize Mexican restaurants with great food that don't have this bizarre policy. That's what my bunch is going to do. read more

Horrible, gross and disgusting..... don't eat here. Food is disgusting The restaurant is nowhere near clean the tables were gross and sticky there's cobwebs everywhere! ..... never going back!!! read more

They have a sign on the door saying they open at 12. You would think a small restaurant like this would open the doors a couple of minutes early when they see a party of 11 waiting outside but instead we had an employee give us a countdown of when they open. "7 minutes until.., 4 minutes until...., 2 minutes. We were the first ones on the door 12:01. It is 12:49 and 3 other patrons have eaten and left. Other tables are done eating and chatting. We are waiting on our food. We got our food at 12:55 and I had to send mine.back because it was lukewarm. read more

I had could leave less than 1 star I would. Every time we go we have a terrible experience. Servers are a joke. And the host . Attitude from hell. I leave 50% tip everywhere I go. I'm surprised this always happens. Food is decent at best, you expect the service to be above expectations, but not the case. If you advertise your business to operate between the hours of 11:30-9:00pm don't close 30mins early and get a attitude saying we are fucking closing. Idk who runs this place, but I would check in every now and again. Because it seems like you deserted the place and leave everyone free to do whatever they want. read more

My Texas burrito wasn't really good. the meat was very dry. I ordered cheese dip and it was cold.

First time visit. Have been reluctant to try Sticky Cactus due to bad reviews on Yelp and by friends and neighbors in the community. Thanks to some recent reviews and new management, I decided to give it a shot. Very upbeat, friendly and fun. They had karaoke so that was a plus. My girls love to sing! Appeared very clean and the staff was awesome. The chips and salsa were awesome!! The chips were light and crispy and not greasy at all! I had Tacos de Asada and the Girls had Steak nachos. I love that they grill the tortillas just a bit so they have that delicious hint of a crust. The steak was a bit tough, but it was late and I didn't think to order it cooked a specific way and the server didn't ask if I had a preference. Being from Louisiana, of course I LOVED the grits. Very unique and tons of flavor. The girls devoured the nachos so I would assume they were great. All in all.... not the best Mex I've ever had, but I will be back to try something else. And its much better than the other Mex restaurants that are close. read more

Sticky Cactus - Tacos de Asada. With grit and beans. Grits are on point!! - Mexican Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

If you have a food allergy or dietary restrictions, do NOT go here. I'm embarrassed to admit how many second chances I've given this restaurant, but I've given my last. I had to send my order back twice because they brought out astonishingly different orders. And this exact situation has happened probably the last 5 or 6 times I have been here. I'm all about understanding mistakes, but at this point, it's just complete negligence. If you want food that you actually ordered and a competent staff, do yourself a favor and go across the street to Castillo Real. read more

Food was great! Our waitress obviously just started and has not had much experience with waiting tables. We REALLY wanted another round of drinks and some dessert. We were there for our friend's birthday and was going to have them sing, but she showed up with our checks without even asking us if we wanted dessert. I would still love to have a sopapilla! read more

My 10 year old son and I stopped in for a late dinner last night after his baseball game. He was sad because his team lost the game. The staff noticed how down he looked right away. The hostess brought him over stickers, a ball and even came back with some quarters for him! Alicia was our server and she was just wonderful like the hostess was. The staff went above and beyond to make my son smile. Not to mention our food was WONDERFUL! We have eaten there in the past but this visit was hands down, the best. We live in LG but the food and service and food was so terrific, we may be driving to Ola once a week to eat there! Thank you Alicia and SC staff for making our night so much better! read more

I don't understand the overly negative reviews for this place. It's one of the downsides to user reviewed places; you'll always have the negative people who nitpick everything. I found the food to be good, taste fresh and portions to be reasonable for the price. Service was good and friendly. I enjoyed the chips. My only constructive criticism would be to suggest more seasoning in the dishes. Even adding a touch of salt to our salsa helped. read more

Not a bad little place to eat... We have been here a few times with our family and have never seen it really busy. I'll agree with the other reviewers about the menu being small compared to other Mexican joints, but that doesn't mean it's limited. We have always found something good to eat. The menu is not so limited that we wish we had gone to eat somewhere else. After all, its Mexican food, how many different variations do you really need? Most of these places can be judged by the salsa. Sticky Cactus salsa is some of the best. Great flavor. I think I have eaten about 459 bowls total. Yea, 459. I gets down like that. Never had bad service or an experience. This isn't one of those places where you leave saying "Holy crap that place was so amazing!" but it certainly is not bad either. One of the main reasons we like this spot is because it is off the main path, so while everyone waits 5 days for a table at La Parilla and eats in an atmosphere loud enough to be confused with a Korn concert, we are in and out with full bellies. read more

Update- I've been back twice in the last month and things have definitely turned around at this place. Mainly the food quality which is leaps above my previous experience, perhaps this is because of new ownership. I've had the chimichanga & burrito mexicana and both we pretty good. We went on wing night and tried a 10 piece mix of lemon pepper & medium. Wow, the wings are really good here! although smaller than most places sometimes I actually prefer that. The medium wings didn't have much sauce flavor at all but for me that's to be expected since I typically get mine on the hot + scale. The chips and salsa are very good as well. i think they may have gotten a regular visitation back from me at this point. I would say give it a shot or another shot if you haven't been here in the past year or so! I'm only going to up 1 star from my previous rating for now, but if they continue to impress with other dishes I'm going to give them another one read more

Pretty small place. took too long getting the food out. Portion wise I was really disappointed. Even my friend commented on the grossly minuscule samplings. The food itself was sub par to okay. The price range is okay. The menu does leave something to be desired, as there is not a very large selection. This seems to be a mexican restaurant for the sake of people settling who don't want to drive an extra 15 minutes to something far better. On the bright side this place did just open up so maybe with time it will get better. Also they usually have live music going on, which is a pretty ambient experience for the most part. read more

This isn't amazing Mexican food, but it's good. It isn't pricey and the staff is friendly. We come here frequently for family dinner. Not sure why some of the other reviews were so bad. Trivia night is fun. And we've never had an issue with the food or the service. Maybe the reviewers are the ones with the issue(s)? read more

This place is fantastic! One of the best places for food and drinks. Cant beat the service! read more

Very clean and attempting to be an upscale Mexican place. Food is on par only. Nothing special but has good flavors. The outlier is the made to order guac which is usually made table side but not when we ordered it. Good for family's or small groups. The chips and salsa are decent with the salsa a little on the hot side which I love. Their house special enchiladas are also pretty good. Downsides, the place is serviced and run by kids. Have had mixed up orders or forgotten items, et cetera. Been here a total of five times now and we will go back if we are on that side of town. The parking is also not adequate and we left with a ding in our door due to the small parking spots. Not worth a special trip or pilgrimage. read more

Dear Rosey working at the hostess stand...I hope you learn soon that you are the first point of contact for this business and it sets the tone for the experience. Needless to say you gave very poor, tactless, non customer oriented service (looking at me like i did not belong in your establishment) However...Emily and Blake your service was above all. Emily thank you for pay attention and even apologizing for the poor service from Rosey and attempting to do a job that was not your own. Blake you are a great server and we enjoyed every item we ordered. read more

I just lost an hour of my life to terrible service at Sticky Cactus in McDonough, GA. Waiter brings the non-alcoholic drinks and goes back to get the beer. 5 minutes later, he is playing with the hostess behind the hostess stand. I had to get his attention to go and get my beer. 25 minutes later, the waiter came over to tell me that the kitchen was out if what I ordered. Cancelled the order and left. I have had more poor experiences there than good. It's convenient, but I won't be going back. The only good was that the manager comped three soft drinks and a beer. read more

Glad I have given this place another try. Been back several times after my original stop. They really have done an about face and things are pretty darn good there now. Not the best Mexican I have ever had mind you, but pretty darn good. Glad to see them turn things around from my first visit! read more

Seems more like a drinking establishment than a mexican restaurant. It was dissappointing. I had the fajita salad and the bf had the steak fajitas. He really liked their salsa so the waitress brought him out a big bowl of it. I agree with the other two reviewers that the menu is very limited. read more

Great service! This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! If you haven't eaten here in a few years try it again! The current manager has completely turned this place around! Try the steak, It was great! The chips, salsa and cheese dip are the best I've had. read more

Love this place! All the employees are great. The food is consistently delicious! One of our favorite spots in Henry County! Thanks to the manager, Allison and all of her staff. read more

I wanted to let you know, if you want to be on your knees and hugging the toilet you should go eat here. The first time it was bad but I was talked into it from everyone to give it another chance! It was the nasty unreal &:$:& food and over price. I started burping up what I ate and by 4:00am I was on my knees but I was not praying but I was busy at throwing up my guts out. So if you need to be down on the floor go eat there. It is the worst food or go eat some great Mexican at Gambinos !!! read more
