We got two fish tacos and the beef chimichanga for take out. They were very good. Food was cooked perfectly! The chimichanga was still crispy when we got home, which was great! Great price too! Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

This is my favorite local restaurant. You can tell they marinade their meats & the portion sizes are big for a great price. I've always gotten good service and fast delivery when I go that route too. I order from here all the time & never get tired of the food.

I pass by here so often but randomly decided to give them a try the other day. The service was fast and friendly. The place is small and homey. I got a burrito bowl with steak and it was seasoned very well, with a generous amount of steak. The steak was slightly tough, but not too bad. A little heavy on the lettuce and cheese, but overall it was a delicious meal and I can't wait to try them again.

Ive been there a couple of times, and they were both good experiences. I like it that they are conveniently located close to my work in Arbutus and close to the UMBC area. The staff are friendly and the food is good. The first time I went there, I got fish tacos. It came with 2 tacos for 6$. I liked it, bc the fish was cooked to order, it came out fresh, hot and tasty. The only thing is that I would have liked it better if the fish was left whole pieces and not chopped up to crumbs. The second time I went there, was for taco Tuesday, when you can get beef, pork, or chicken tacos for only 1.25$. That is an excellent price. However, I felt that the chicken and pork were a bit dry, and did not taste freshly made. It tasted like it was made ahead of time and put into shells when ordered. Still, they were flavorful and were a good value. They have a lot of other scrumptious looking items on their menu, like fajitas, quesadillas, flautas, chimichangas, and other Tex Amex specialties that I'm looking forward to try, so I'll definite be back for my next Mexican lunch.

Atmosphere: I have a bit of an issue with their plastic covered tables with red linen underneath, just not very nice feeling when you are eating- and the fake roses were a poor touch as well. Ordered nachos and asked for plates to share among the 4 of us, and you know wanted silverware too! They brought these flimsy plastic plates! Ugh! Not impressive...to add insult to injury as they served our food they turned on a noisy TV- family feud I believe. Ugh again. When they served our dinners they did so one at a time. One of the party had to wait 5 minutes extra.Food: nachos with beef were a bit salty and greasy. Decent taste but not overwhelming. Comes with guacamole and sour cream so how can you argue it isn't packed full of flavor- fat carries flavor! The "queso" was more like Cheese whiz than authentic Mexican anything. I had the enchiladas with the rotisserie chicken- nice red sauce in top and the meat and cheese.

I liked the beef burrito that I ordered. I thought the guacamole was average at best, but everything else was pretty good

I usually like this restaurant. My favorite item is the Tex-Mex Grilled Chicken & Shrimp Salad. It comes with chicken shrimp, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and cheese. Today it came with 2 pieces of shrimp and the very unwelcome onions, green and red peppers. I don't like onions, green and red peppers. They are not listed on the menu. I threw most of it away. Worst salad I ever had.

We have eaten here a number of times and the food is always great! Updated decor has brightened the place up nicely. Service is consistently good. Favorites include the shrimp taquitos and the taco platter.

We've been ordering from Cactus Silvestre since we moved here in 2021, and we've never been disappointed. We had lived in a place that only had fast-food tacos, so when we realized there was an actual Tex-Mex restaurant in Arbutus, we were so excited!The staff is super friendly, and will always make you feel like your order is important. The food is always hot when we receive it, and it is packaged with care. Everything is seasoned perfectly, and you can tell they take pride in their food. My favorite is the Steak Quesadilla - it has a generous amount of cheese and steak, and comes with guac, sour cream and pico de gallo. We order every week - it's our tradition!
