Cactus Cantina

My friend and I were finally able to eat lunch here yesterday, and we were SO glad that we did.
First thing we noticed: The home-​y décor and atmosphere. No frills, no obnoxious music… just some cute art on the walls and the smell of good food.
Then: Delicious chips and homemade salsa. Two kinds. One that was more mild and thin, and the other with a distinctive cilantro taste. I could have eaten this as a whole meal (and I almost did!)…
Next: Great prices on the menu and a huge selection. Bonus points for a vegetarian section! Yes. I ordered the veggie quesadilla and my friend ordered the chicken flautas. Unfortunately they were out of rice at the time, so they offered a side of extra beans, salad, or fries. I got the salad and she got the fries. The salad was just some fixins they would probably put on a taco, so nothing special there, and the fries were pretty basic, but still good.
After that: So many bits of fab on the plate! The refried beans were very tasty (and my friend, who would know the difference, said they tasted homemade)…the sour cream was somehow better than other sour cream I’ve had, the guacamole was perfect as a topping on the quesadilla, and I have to say that the quesadilla was one of the best I’ve had, if not the best. I was expecting some onions and peppers, and what I got was a perfect amount of cheese with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, and onions. I couldn’t identify the seasoning on the quesadilla but boy was it fantastic.
My friend said the flautas tasted very fresh as if they were made very recently. I was a bit jealous at her ability to communicate with the servers in Spanish (I’m getting there, sort of).
Last: The whole bill was under 20 bucks. We breathed a sigh of relief and satiation at that beautiful sight.
I cannot believe there aren’t more reviews for places like Cactus Cantina. You better work on your Unilocal game, Wilmington!

I visit this place with my colleagues for lunch once in a while, and it never disappoints. It is reasonably priced (less than 10 $ lunch), has a nice ambiance and is surely one of the best places to visit in downtown.
Being a vegetarian, I am generally limited to a few options which are mostly modifications of dishes on the menu and most of the times destined to see my friends enjoy their food with me sitting with something that is unearthly. But at ‘Cactus Cantina’ I have 5 – 7 choices in the menu, and the food tastes great!
The only downside is, they have only a couple of waitresses, hence if it is crowded you might wait a little longer to get your orders. But trust me the food is worth the wait!

Recently had lunch there. Great taste.
Family owned, neat place. Come early during lunch time to miss the crowd.

The food is very good and authentic, however, the chef and owner introduces new flavorful creations by fusing modern twists to traditional favorites. I.e. The swiss enchilada, a new addition featured on Enchilada Mondays, where all Enchiladas are discounted! The chunky pico de gallo salsa is fresh and explodes with flavor. The salsa verde n roja come packed with heat from mild to hot– you choose!
The steak tacos which I recently had were tasty, tender and full of meat, same for the Fajitas-​perfectly tenderized as they sizzle on your plate! The service is pleasant and you can taste the passion and love that goes into the preparation of every dish!
