Delicious and authentic! Came here before the comedy show,…read moreand we were so glad we did. The place is small, but very clean and stylish, and intimate. Service was great. Our server was kind and helpful, but not pushy. I got the 3 tacos. They let me mix them up because it was slow. I got pollo, pastor, and the spicy asada. They were all very flavorfully but the asada was next level! I'd definitely get that if you have to choose. My friend got the chicken burrito, which I tried. A tad on the try side and was just rice and chicken. They also have a salsa trio which was fantastic. I couldn't pic a favorite because they were all so good. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic Mexican!

It is a bit smaller, but food wise I will be back! We went for a dinner and it did not disappoint. Lines for the drive through are long, so we went inside to dine. Loved how sweet and patient the ladies were taking our order. You order your food first, and then they will bring it out for you. Little salsa bar, Coke drinks, huge flavorful portions will make you happy that you visited. I ordered the birria, and although I wished for more consommé, I think if you ask they would have given it. The burrito is epic. Overall so happy to have gone and enjoyed it!

Ordered delivery. Great tacos and enjoyed the beans and rice! I got a fish taco and although the…read morefish was more deeply fried with a crispier exterior than I like (rather than lightly battered), it was still quite good. My husband loved the assortment of meat tacos he got and we both enjoyed a side of beans and rice which was a large portion. Only miss was the breakfast burrito. Parts of it were too bland and the contents weren't mixed well together so you either got a really bland bite of egg with no sauce or just a bite of all sauce and no egg.

By the time we finished, it was late, we were exhausted, and our stomachs had officially declared an emergency. One bite in, and we knew we'd found a winner. We loved it so much that about a month later, we came back just to relive those same delicious meals--and of course, we couldn't leave without an order of nachos to go! Sometimes the best restaurants aren't planned--they're the ones you discover when you're tired, hungry, and just a little lucky!

I visited today for lunch and ordered a shrimp quesadilla, three small steak tacos and three drinks. The total came up to $91. How am I paying for tacos and quesadillas for 91?

What really sold me was the Cheesy Birria Tacos that I spotted while checking out the menu and so I knew pretty much exactly what I was going to order upon arrival. And that was indeed what I got and they were excellent! The beef that was the specific meat in the taco (Birria can also be goat or lamb) and was absolutely wonderful. The cheese and the crunchy tacos rounded out this small lunch quite nicely and was very satisfying. There was a red sauce in a cup that came with my three tacos in which I dipped the tacos into it which added to the pleasant spicy heat. These tacos I highly recommend and they also have other menu options that look quite promising as well. I can't wait to go back!

Doing an update after not being in Moctezuma's for a long time…read more Someone gave me the impression that the food wasn't as good as it used to be and one of the last times I was here the wait to get seated was quite long. It's good that they are doing so well however. The parking lot always looks full. My last visit here was after a planned meal stop somewhere else fell through. I still wanted supper and I was in the vicinity and decided if I could get into Moctezuma's. I got in with ease (there was just me) and seated right away. I haven't had a taco salad in I don't know how long so I ordered one of those. I also got a small sized Spicy Cucumber Margarita. The taco salad was good, very satisfying as well as the chips and salsa that came along with it. The Margarita was great, very refreshing with the cucumber and spiciness blending together nicely. Service was prompt and friendly. I still have a good impression with what I had for this place from meals of several years ago and if you do precise timing (like early supper arrival time (4:30-5 p.m.) or lunch you are more than likely to find seating easier.

She did far more than simply hand me a bag her kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help made a lasting impression. Great customer service like hers deserves to be recognized.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cactus! This is my go-to place whenever I visit Tacoma!…read more The butternut squash enchiladas are absolutely the best, and the margaritas are fabulous!

Definitely one of my favorite spots!

Our waiter, Mark, was incredibly attentive -- checking in regularly, keeping drinks topped off, and making sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. Exactly the kind of hospitality that makes a meal memorable. We started with the Guacamole Sampler -- Traditional, Carlito's Way, and Austin Style -- served with warm housemade chips and their signature salsa. Every style had its own personality, and the flavors were spot‑on across the board. A fantastic way to kick off the meal. For my entrée, I went with the Seasonal Al Pastor Tamales, and wow... this dish is a true taste of the south. The ancho, guajillo, and achiote citrus slow‑roasted pork was rich and tender, perfectly balanced by cumin black beans, pickled pineapple, white onion, and serrano salsa. Every bite had depth, heat, and brightness. My wife ordered the Smoked Chicken Tomatillo Soup -- hominy, red bell peppers, carrots, onions, chipotle, buttermilk crema, cilantro, and blue corn tortilla strips. Served with fresh housemade sopes, it was comforting, flavorful, and beautifully layered. A perfect bowl for any season. We also shared the Navajo Fry Bread -- honestly, this should be listed under desserts. Warm, soft, slightly sweet, and absolutely delicious. The overall vibe was relaxed and inviting. It can get a bit noisy -- especially for someone like me who's hard of hearing -- but the energy is still warm and enjoyable. Cactus never disappoints. From the kitchen to the front‑of‑house, the team consistently delivers great food, great service, and a great experience. Hats off to the cooks and staff for another fantastic visit. We'll definitely be back.
