We went to the Cactus downtown last Friday and expected the wait for 15 people to take forever. We were put on a 30 minute wait and were seated in 29 minutes. It was a friends surprise birthday. I asked our server if she could do seperate checks and it was not a problem. Drinks came out right away, even... more

My husband and I come to the Iron Cactus all the time. Our favorite times to go are during the happy hours. The first is from 4-7 and the second is from 11-when the bar closes.

The tuna ceviche was great and they didn't rip you off on the tuna like I assumed they would. The jalapeno poppers were good also, not the typical poppers at most restaurants. It is the perfect place for people watching and... more

Recently visited for my second time in as many months. Love the menu, the ambience and the food. Had the chicken with mango, served with rice. Also had the chicken tortilla soup. First time I went we sat upstairs on the outdoor roof. Great place on a warm summer evening. more

think the best thing about restaurants is the service you received. After being told that the restaurant would hold our food, we returned to find out that they had thrown it away. We spoke to the manager to explain what had occurred and he basically said I am sorry we do not hold food. Even after we spoke with several... more

Very good food, good sized portions, great tequila, like 80 types of tequila. The drinks were a bit expensive, but their margaritas were really awesome! more

we enjoyed the atmosphere, food and especially the margaritas. We actually returned back the same night for a nother margarita and appetizer. the service was great. Our waitress (the first time) was very helpful in helping me chose a margarita, without trying to get me spend the most money! I will certainly go back next time I am in Austin. more
