Cheap and cheerful Mexican in Loughborough town centre. Although the interior is fairly basic, the…read morefood alone is worth a visit. Menu includes all the usual Mexican suspects - nachos (the best I've had anywhere), fajitas, burrito etc etc. Cactus Café is reliable - the food is consistently fabulous and I've never had a bad meal here. Mexican beers and cocktails also add to the appeal! Staff are friendly and helpful. It's worth booking, particularly on Mondays and Tuesdays which are cheap nights (two courses for about £8) and ask about their discount card which entitles you to two courses for a fiver on Mondays AND raises money for a cancer charity.

Cactus Cafe is the only Mexican restaurant in Loughborough, but even if it wasn't, I'm pretty sure…read moreit would still be the best! This is a genuinely good Mexican and I visit at every available opportunity. The menu is the usual fare Burrito's, Fajitas, Nachos, Quesidillas etc, but the taste is absolutely fantastic. The prices on the menu are also very reasonable and there are special party rates for larger groups. The margaritas are fantastic as is the Sangria that is on offer. If you can fit in a dessert I would highly recommend them! Book as this place gets busy at weekends (and even during the week).

Two words; Mexican Heaven. Ok now for the rest of the words…read more Gringos restaurant, Huddersfield is one of those places that are a hidden nugget of a town, that soon becomes a little bit of a local legend. You walk in and you're greeted almost instantly by a member of staff, before you get to know your bearings, you see a brightly decorated restaurant floor. Purple and red are the colours of choice. The tables are grand wood things with matching grand wooden chairs. You're seated, and menus are delivered and drink orders taken. Scanning over the menu, there's something for everyone who's willing to try something different to pizza, pasta and curry. Don't worry if you don't know the difference between a chimichanga and an enchilada, it's all there for explanation. Personally, I decided to try the chimichanga. I was not disappointed. First I was in awe at the size of the plate. Portion size, HUGE. The gargantuan chimichanga was full of the spicy lamb filling I ordered, and there was a nice portion of refried beans and potato wedges, all tex-mexed out, naturally. I'm glad I didn't go for the starter, by the time I'd finished my absolutely tasty meal, I was packed out to the limits, as was the rest of the overstuffed and replete members of my party. There were eight of us in total, and as we had pre-booked the table, sat down, and ordered all before 7pm, and the bill was brought to us before the hour of 8, all of our mains were 241, or bogof depending on how you look at it. In my opinion it was a royal bargain. Call it £1.50 for a small coke, and the total bill price for each person was £6.50. The only down side of our eating experience was that we were so full with our yumtastic and sizeable meals that we were all unable to roll our bellies forward to fill them with deserts, which were not two for one, but were very tasty in their appeal. So pleased we were with our meal, we re-booked for a second sitting a few weeks later, this time with 12 in our party and at a later sitting time of 8pm. Again the staff were very hospitable, and the place was packed, all good testament to how good the food is. As it wasn't two for one, various bods were willing to try the steaks and specials available, again all with accompanying noises of approval. And as it was after work hours, there were indulgences into the cocktail pitchers available, and also the shooters for the more daring. The alcohol is a bit steep in price at £15.95 a pitcher, but apparently the taste warranted it. Gringos has a great atmosphere, one of those places where you feel you could spend all night and have fun in a casual environment. Beware of elbow room, so popular is the place that there isn't a lot of room for manoeuvring oneself. I say get booked and eaten for 8pm and enjoy a full belly at a great price.

I'm a native Texan who frequently visits Doncaster to visit my husband's family (he's from Donny)…read more And, if I can give Cactus Jack's 4 out of 5 stars, that's pretty darn good! We have been here a few times over the years and have always been impressed with the food. Here, in Texas, we're used to a certain type of 'Texas-down-home-cookin' and Cactus Jack's gets as close to it as I'd expect in the UK. The ribs and chicken dishes are very good (better than some of the places here in Houston). The service is good, and that's saying a lot from us overly demanding Americans. The portion sizes are generous by UK standards. The part I love the best is the interior design. The restaurant isn't just Southwest themed, it's like walking into an old saloon. There is a old school jail cell in the back you can have dinner in. There's tons of gnarly wood everywhere. One time when we were in there, there was a whole troop of older people dressed in Western wear. It was awesome. I did have to correct them once because they had the Texas flag hanging upside down, but I can forgive them on it (people in the USA in other states would get it wrong too). They did fix it and I was satisfied. The only totally weird thing is the waffle dessert. In the USA, waffles are not dessert items, we eat them for breakfast. They do not taste sugary or have little lumps of sugar inside of them. We don't top them with ice cream and chocolate sauce. But honestly, the waffle dessert at Cactus Jack's is so good, maybe we should! If you live in the Donny area and haven't been... Go! Try it out! This is a recommendation from a real Texan who has a cactus somewhere in the vicinity (Houston is actually kinda like a jungle).

Very large varied menu, good variety of drinks also available. I find the mexican food, fajitas etc and the steaks are the best buy here and are usually nice and a good portion size. The one thing i often find off putting here at a weekend are the large parties that seem to be in, often it seems a bit druken an rowdy so better to go early on. The location is convenient just outside the city center with some nice local bars to make it a good night out.

If you want a breath of fresh air and a nice vibe! COME HERE!…read more I and my sister shared for starters the Queso Fundido (if that's how you spell it), absolutely amazing, took a bite of the bread mixed with the QF and holy.... it was like biting into a punchy yet slightly spicy cheesy mix but I'm guessing that's what this is! (My first time!) For mains we had - Burrito - beef chilli with hot heat and some skin on fries, firstly this was amazing, a typical Mexican style Burrito, nice and warm, really tasty to! The guac really added a nice earthy bite! Sister had three tacos loaded with pulled pork and chicken again; she said they were tasty, the cheese melted on top adds a real nice topper flavour! For desert I had a Chocolate chilli tart, really weird for me however, a nice soft tart with a heavy chocolate taste and the chilli hits the back of the throat with the aftertaste, adds for a nice spicy bite! A drink to share we had the Chupacabra, a nice rum heavy drink with fresh flavour and a dang hit to the throat! Overall a nice evening topped off with a Mexican Sombrero to take home
