Cactus is a fun, lively spot that I keep coming back to. The atmosphere is a big part of the appeal. It gets busy, energetic, and is a great place to meet up with friends. The chips and salsa are so hard to stop eating, especially if you like garlicky salsa. I always order the portobello fajitas, which are excellent and come in a huge portion. It’s easily two meals for me. Just make sure to ask for vegan modifications. There can be a wait during peak hours, but it’s easy to reserve a spot online ahead of time. The vegan options are somewhat limited, but the ones they do have are delicious. It's a great choice for a date night or when eating out with omnivore friends.
