    Was very impressed by my first visit. I picked a Baja favorite burrito that day, customized to my choices. It was too good. Loved the flavor and delicious. I was wondering how this place got all the negative reviews! I found the answer on my next visit. This place lacks consistency. I ordered same exact burrito along with the classic burrito bowl. The Baja burrito which I loved last time - I hated it this time. lacked everything I enjoyed about it this time. The burrito bowl was half decent. Their service is good. It's fast, quite engaging with the customers. Liked that. Is this economical comparing to the other Mexican options? Yes. But a huge compromise on the quality. Was happy when I found this place but that just short lived!

    Went here for lunch and got the daily special which was the two fish tacos. There was not any fish already made so I had to wait a few minutes for them to heat up some more. If you have never had fish tacos from Taco Del Mar, you know the fish is like a fried fish filet / fish stick. Not the best quality but not bad either. Do not come to this chain expecting something more. I got a side of rice with my order which was freshly made. Sometimes you can come here and the rice be dried out and you can tell it is not fresh, but not today! The rice does not have a lot of flavor but if you want rice, it is what it is. The fish tacos come with a white sauce, pico de gallo, cabbage and/or lettuce. It is not bad and hits the spot if you already know what to expect. The staff is always very friendly here. The shop is always clean and well put together. I would recommend coming here if you are in the area, want quick service and a quick meal.

    Everything was reheated from the Cash and Carry next door. Convenient for them, disappointing for me.

    The food was not great, very mediocre. The staff was rude. On their phones when serving us. Will not be back.

    Yuck! Stay away from their fish tacos, horrible! Their other meat choices don't taste fresh and tasty.

    Delicious hidden gem. I can't believe I didn't know about this place. The jicama tacos are a…read morewonderful gluten free option. I asked for the sauce on the side so I could try the other salsa with them. I am so glad I did. The carne asada tacos were really good. The salsa that comes with the chips was super good and I added it to my tacos. They also give you a complimentary tostada per person. You can ask for no cheese. The service was really good as well. The place is primarily a bar with a few tables in the under 21 section. But well worth coming to this place with kids. The food is great.

    I can't tell you how many times I drove by this place without even knowing it was here. There is a…read moresmall cluster of restaurants that honestly don't have the strongest reviews. La Gloria is the exception. Reviews glow, but since you have seen my score, it's clear there is room for improvement. Once seated, we were served a Tostada. This was a single small fried tortilla with beans, cabbage and salsa. Probably cost less than $.25 in material, but sells for around $7. Now whenever, I talked to my God Mother, rest in peace, about a new Mexican restaurant, her first question was always the same, "How were the Frijoles?". These beans were creamy, well-seasoned and flavorful. The best refried beans I've tasted in some time. I still say the appetizer is overpriced, but I also see why they serve you one free for dining in. We started with chips and salsa. I still say, they should be free, but at $4, it's a little tough to complaint, but I will. The chips came on a dinner plate. A dinner plate of chips would be about the same size as a restaurant basket of chips, however, there was a large bowl big enough for soup with the smallest amount of salsa in it. So now, 25% of that surface space is gone. This bowl which most likely holds 16 oz has about 3 ounces of salsa, in it and 1/3 of the plate space is empty, So you have enough chips for one person and barely enough salsa for dipping. The salsa was also tart, no heat, no seasoning, we were very disappointed. Last, if you charge me for chips and salsa, it better be bottomless, but once the chips were gone, they removed the plate and bowl without offering to refill either. There were a couple items that looked good to me, but they both had squash. Sorry, I've never heard of squash in Mexican food, unless it's vegan, but maybe it's popular in the region this family is from. Rather than ask if it could be removed, I decided to go with the Carnes Asada. The food took a while to arrive, but they said everything is made from scratch and fresh, so I anticipated a meal worthy of El Presidente himself! Now, clearly this place was not without its flaws, but this was the best Carne Asada I've ever tasted. I was really skeptical, because it was thick cut and when Carna Asada is thick cut certain things tend to happen, it's not cooked evenly, the meat isn't seasoned well enough, so bites end up being bland. No, this was juicy, well-seasoned and cooked evenly, flawless. It also came with a generous scoop of guacamole, that didn't really impress. It was also served with Fried Cheese, no idea what that is, sounds like something served at the fair on stick. I got several tortillas that were hot and fresh and a small cup of whole beans that could have used some crumbled cheese on top. There was also a large portion of rice, but the flavor was a bit fishy. I don't know if they used a seafood broth, but for me it was inedible. There was also a smoky, spicy salsa served, but again, it was a tablespoon. Stop being so cheap with the salsa! This also would have been a far better salsa to go with chips than what was served. Glad I tasted everything, but not sure I would order it again. I didn't eat half of what was served do to taste which means I overpaid. If we do make it back, it would probably be for happy hour. That way we could sample a couple other items in a smaller portion for less. Would I recommend this place, sure, but not without the above cautions included. I like to clean my plate and feel like I got a deal, neither happened here due to some questionable choices in flavor or seasoning. The people could not have been nicer, but I can't say we left completely satisfied.

    I don't know who needs to hear this but honestly if you are in the mood for American Mexican…read morecuisine, you cannot go wrong here, but not only that, their drinks and their desserts are just as good (especially that caramel cake with pepitas when its around). I ordered my fav which is the chimichanga in chicken (please be aware shrinkflation is real and this little guy has definitely shrunk lol) still tasty and plenty for one person. We also ordered the Burrito Lanera, which is ginormous and I believe a seasonal Shrimp Tamale as well, both were very flavorful, but between the two I think the Burrito won. As always the Hibiscus Mango Sour is a clear winner and favorite with the fam so make sure you try it out if you haven't already Shout out to the wait staff, you guys are awesome and just to note for whatever reason it's quieter at the bar than the family section so if your wanting less noise that's the place to be

    I recently visited Cactus and honestly felt disappointed by the service experience. I understand…read morerestaurants get busy, and as someone who also works in the industry, I try to be patient and understanding. But our server made us feel more like a task to get through than actual guests. He did not run any of the food himself, never checked in to ask how everything was, and overall gave the impression that he just wanted us in and out as quickly as possible. At one point I said thank you and he just stared at us without responding, which felt awkward and dismissive. What made it more frustrating is that we were a very easy table. We made zero modifications to our order, were polite the entire time, and the most difficult thing I asked for was a to go box. He even seemed annoyed by that request, although I will give credit that he at least packed the leftovers for me. I'm usually a very generous tipper and almost always leave 20 to 22%, especially because I understand how hard restaurant work can be. But this was one of the few times where the service genuinely affected the tip I left. I completely understand being tired or overwhelmed during a rush, but kindness and basic acknowledgment go a long way in hospitality. That is something I always try to give my own guests no matter how busy I am. I will still come back and the ambiance is great, i just hope the service matches that next time too.
