Wild Cactus Cantina & Grill

Great birria tacos. Might have been my favorite ones I've had. Pineapple margaritas are on point and Tuesdays tacos are cheaper. Good place to go for small groups.

Our waitress was sweet. The food menu was limited. Happy hour was from 4-6 Monday through Saturday. The margarita flight was great. The Birra tacos were different. They did not have iced tea available nor did they have guacamole. The salsa was warm and had a nice heat to it. Parking can be difficult. Seating is mixture of high top and regular tables with hard and soft seating options available.

I would say- come here for the vibes, drinks, and chips.If they didn't have food and it was purely a bar honestly I'd give it a 5/5. But I would give it a 3.75/5 if that was a thing since they are labeled as a restaurant I have to be honest and say I was not a fan of the food. The portions are affordable for sure, but super small. You would need 2-3 tacos to get full. Also, the menu is super limited so if you don't like the flavors of what you order you're kind of stuck. The chips like I said amazing out of this world- but the salsa as not my fave- and I ordered elote which I didn't finish because I didn't like it. On the up side, the interior is so gosh darn beautiful. I mean cmon- the lighting, furniture, tile work- to the T was perfect. I have a feeling it used to be a hair salon previously or they got some inspiration from that because it's super unique- like a boutique salon setup- open, and semi walled. You'll see when you walk in. Also, my drink was so delicious- especially with added simple syrup. It was floral and sweet just how I like it and beautifully garnished as well.Our waiter was super sweet, prompt and never forgot anything. You could tell he took his job seriously.So even though I wouldn't come back for the food per se due to the food experience I'd come back for drinks and to hang with girlfriends if they really wanted to come.

This is a great place to hang with friends over happy hour, first date, anniversary, you name it, it's the place! Drinks are delicious. They have lots to choose from. Even if you're not a tequila fan the drinks are so good you won't even notice. Parking can be pain, but it's close to downtown Denton so it might be a walk. Service is always nice. The menu is limited, but also very good. They've increased the business hours so there's plenty of time to enjoy!

We chose this place for a date night dinner on a Saturday. Upon walking in, there was no hostess to greet us and we waited 10 minutes until we approached the nearest staff member we could find. After that we waited another 15 minutes to be sat for a party of 2. It was a tad bit understandable given how busy it was. The ambiance was great, the lighting was low and moody which was perfect for a romantic date night.Once we got sat it took the server another 10 minutes to take our order, but we will say the chips and homemade salsa were delicious.We ordered the following:- Taco Flight with pulled pork, birria with the consome and vegeterian pastor. Unfortunately, they were completely out of chicken so that was not an option. This was a bummer considering this is a basic protein that most if not all restaurants carry. Other than that setback, all the other proteins were great!- Street Style Elote, honestly, nothing to rave about. It seemed to be out of a can. - Quesadilla with brisket and it was delicious! We love a good quesadilla and this did not disappoint especially with the chihuaha cheese it's made with. - Spicy pineapple margarita which was tasty and the mocktail lavender sour, also tasty!We did try to order dessert, but again, they were completely all out.Overall, the food made up for their lack of service and preparation on a Saturday night. Our server was friendly and we only saw her serving so she was busy. That would be on management to schedule more servers. We will most likely come back another time and hopefully they'll have chicken and desserts!

We dropped by for Happy Hour and sat at the bar. Great food and drink specials. Both were delicious! Loved the bohemian decor and indoor/outdoor casual vibe. Will definitely be back. Right off Denton Square on a side street.

Ambiance and drinks: 5 stars. Just don't go there hungry. Everything is a street taco, even quesadillas, which were just like a larger griddled street taco with no cheese. We had pulled pork, and it was so salty it was inedible. We told the server and he took them off the bill, so that was nice. Elotes was canned corn, also too salty. Left there hungry. Think of this as a bar that serves snacks.

Their social media rep is a total star! Their posts always make me want to swing by and grab a bite or a drink... I can't resist!

Let me preface this with this place is amazing.If your looking for average Tex-Mex and Mediocre Service Do NOT stop here.Let's start with walking in the door where you are quickly met with a Smile, the Hostesses here do not know the word No! They go above and beyond to accommodate the patrons!Since it was just two of us we asked to be seated at the bar as to not tie up a larger table, wham right to the bar, two open seats and orders rolling in Promptly greeted by both the bartenders!Menus placed like clockwork. Drink orders taken and wham in a quickness! ice cold Modelo Negro for me, the Wife had the Four Berry on the rocks, "she is really happy right now" so Bar service is on point.Let's talk about food.Salsa Board Not Salsa and Chips, you actually get a mix of homemade Salsas, the House Roja absolutely Beyond words, the Salsa Verde reminds me of the salsa verde in Oaxaca Mexico, now the fire roasted salsa I wish they would sell it by the jar!We of course asked for Guacamole the bartender jumped into action and made a bowl at the cart it was Amazing Perfect, spice tender avocados. We ordered some Empanadas and Bacon wrapped Shrimp.First the Empanadas are fresh made every day with tender slow cooked Brisket!The Empanadas are corn not flour based, which makes them even more authentic and delicious. The Bacon wrapped shrimp are absolutely mouth watering, crispy bacon wrapped around tender large shrimp!!!This isn't your neighborhood taco shop, it isn't the over priced we are serving you in bow ties wanna be authentic food.This is Authentic Homemade from Scratch that all the others wanna be place claim to be!Mucho Gusto!!

We went with a large group and we were a little underwhelmed. First there are only a handful of food items on the menu. Hard to call it a grill when there's nothing grilled available. Went during happy hour so luckily the prices were ok. But I would not go back during normal hours for the food or drinks. Imo, if you aren't going to have much food, at least do the drinks well. And I can't say that I was impressed by the margaritas or other drinks the table ordered. Should be called a Tapas bar. Also, the salsa was more like a marinara than hot sauce.
