    Shake Hands with Delicious Bistec [Steak] Tacos!!  Diggin In
    Bill M.

    Holy Moly These Street Tacos Are Legendary Legit!! First time here I went with 3 Bistec [Steak] Tacos which were LOADED with deliciously seasoned cubed steak, onions, and cilantro all on freshly made tortillas. Plus they give you radishes, sautéed cactus, cucumbers, lime, and cambray onions all on the side. I mean my plate had absolutely no more space on it, Lol.    Plus, they even bring out several bowls of different sauces to try which ranged in spice levels to give these already tasty Tacos an extra kick. WOW!!   Service here is super friendly, fast, and efficient. All I can say is come here Hungry, but whatever you do.. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

    A hidden gem in Pine Brook, this small restaurant had great authentic Mexican food. Their delicious tacos were loaded with juicy flavorful toppings and came with a variety of sauces from mild to extra spicy for the spice lovers! The rice and beans sides came in cute little dishes and overall it was a yummy meal with good service.

    Large Horchata!  I think it was 28oz?

    Don't waste your time or money...staff isn't able to handle any type of business whether it's sit down, to go or online orders.

    Pleasantly surprised to have such authentic, flavorful, homemade tacos & plentiful salsas. Don't forget the horchata.

Talking about one of the largest selection of Loaded Tacos that I've ever seen around here locally. Offering everything from: Al Pastor, Lengua, Chuleta, Pollo, Bisteck, Carnitas, Pescado, Cabeza, Suadero, Tripa, Alambre, Chorizo and a whole lot more. Plus you can get them on your choice of Corn or Flour Tortillas to boot.     You'll find Classic Peruvian Plates here as well, with variations of Lomo Saltado and Ceviche highlighted on this deliciously infused menu which is just full of amazing and diverse dining options. I noticed their Rotisserie Chicken in the back that was spinning away and calling out to my tastebuds but that's gonna have to wait for another day, Lol    Anyway, my first hand experience has been a very positive one and I thoroughly enjoyed devouring my Carnita Street Taco Platter. I thought it was Super Flavorful in every way possible, or as I like to say !! YUMMMMMMERS !!   Yelp likes it when I talk about ambiance and service too, so I'll add that the decor is colorfully bright and full of Cactus plus Service here is very friendly.

They're knowledgeable about the many items on the menu and kept our waters and chips topped up throughout the meal. The actual food wasn't as great. I tried some barbacoa street tacos and some fried fish tacos. Everything was fresh and well cooked but lacking in flavor - each dish could be seasoned a bit more. I'm hopeful for the restaurant, and I may try it again if they try new recipes or something different to season their food.

I do feel everything would have benefitted from salt, and I wish that as a dine-in customer my burrito had not come wrapped in to-go paper. To give you a sense of the ambiance: the Spanish-speaking cashier/cook was reading a book when I walked in, and the television on the wall was blaring a Spanish-language TV show. I was one of only two customers when I went for a Saturday lunch around 1p. The other customer was also conversing in Spanish with the front of house. I appreciated that a bottled green habanero sauce was at my table, along with Cholula. It helps add to the authenticity. All that said, maybe don't come here for the tex-mex. If I came back I'd try one of the five different kinds of tacos they offered.

    Visited a Fat Cactus for the first time and I was impressed…read more The restaurant is located right off of Route 46 and is HUGE! After being seated, I walked around the premises and saw a large room for private events, a vast area for outdoor seating, very nice wall artistry, and even a good-sized individual room for a private meal. Shyam was an exceptional Server. He took very good care of us and contributed to an enjoyable meal. I started with a Classic Margarita and it was served in a LARGE glass. So large, that I had to hand over the car keys, afterwards. The Fat Cactus complimentary chips and salsa was AMAZING. First, the salsa had chunks of tomato, onions, and lots of basil. It was so throughly enjoyed, that we asked for a second helping, which they gladly obliged. Our selections were: Chicken Tortilla Soup (Rich chicken broth flavored with onions, tomatoes, corn, black beans, finished with a dash of cream, crispy tortilla chips, avocado, sour cream, and cheese). This soup was served in a deep bowl, had a very nice presentation, and every spoonful was flavorful. The next item was the Burrito Michoacano (Shredded chicken seasoned with authentic Mexican spices, Mexican rice, black beans, pico de gallo, cheese, and chili arbol sauce). This Burrito was huge, all of the ingredients were well seasoned, and I took some home to enjoy during the NFL playoffs. The final item was the Tamales Chicken Pastor (Homemade masa tamales, stuffed with Chicken Al Pastor, served with red enchilada sauce, and topped with creamy sour cream). I'm glad, that I discovered Fat Cactus and will definitely revisit and/or dine at their New Brunswick location.

    Food is good. Server was good. Though most places charge a…read morecredit card fee these days, this place is excessive. Normally 2-3% here they charge an extra 5%. $12.00 more on a good size tab Not a fan of the service fees to begin with, its a cost of doing business and here they do warn you on the menu that "prices are for cash, credit cards extra" but its still an excessive amount.
