Cactus Taqueria

One of my all-time favorite burrito places. I recently got a chicken mejor burrito for take-out and it was as good as I remembered. Great portion size, good value, well-cooked chicken, good proportion of cheese and rice to meat, and it came with plenty of chips and salsa. I look forward to my next Cactus burrito!

East bay burrito review #53Initial taste - 4/7Meat - 5/7Beans - 4/7Rice - 3/7Cheese - 4/7Tortilla - 3/7Salsa - 3/7Overall - 4/7 rounded up. Not great texture. Tortilla was on the sticky side. The rice is probably best left off the burrito entirely. Steak was pretty good.

We've been coming here for ages so we have a soft spot for this place. Though we no longer live close I came by today to pick up lunch for the fam. Parking is street parking which is not easy to find. Plenty of tables if you want to dine in. Food is good and there are also drinks and desserts to accompany should you so desire. Take out can be a bit of a wait.

Consistently great crispy chicken tacos for the 10 or so years I've been coming here.Thank you Cactus!

I really dislike being upset with food that is served to me in a restaurant so I often try my best to not be picky but with the nachos of this place it was incredibly hard. Gosh! It was a joke. I wonder if I was being recorded to see my reaction. A $16 plate of nachos (plus extra for guacamole and sour cream) looking like this?! It even had carrots on the nachos but guacamole, sour cream and pico de galo somehow weren't part of the ingredients. Better to take out of the menu you guys. This is a dish I often get in other places so this one was the top of the top in how horrible it was in everything. To be fair, the tacos that my husband got were pretty good.

Tasty crunchy tacos. Salsa could be a bit tastier/spicy other than that the taco are a goto with guacamole added to the taco as a standard.

Cactus used to be the default goto comfort spot for me and my kids over the last decade. Just like several others reviewers, I am finding a big issue with the new menu in that it doesn't appear to add any star item and downgrades most existing dishes. Mejor Burritos used to feed me and had decent amount of basics including lettuce and cheese. In the new version everything is designed as an add-on including what feels like salsa fresca, and the base price is higher. The new tostada has a strange new sauce and pickled onions that just don't go together. Even rice and beans burrito kids don't recognize as the same.Please bring back the old menu, adjust prices if you have to, but at least make dishes delicious without having to figure out add-ons.

Great location on the corner of college avenue by the bart, mediocre service, average quality of food. It's definitely a solid option if you're looking for convenient and safe mexican food.

New menu is awful. In addition to higher prices and smaller portions, they've made it impossible to feed my kids there.Rice and beans can't be ordered separately now, only mixed in the same container. Their "bocaditos" small bites enchiladas now inexplicably come covered in jalapenos, and there's no option to avoid them. The adult food has had quality reductions too.This used to be a place I could happily feed the whole family at, but now I just have to accept that the restaurant we used to love essentially closed.

We received our order (pick-up):* Chicken Tostada - Mostly beans and lettuce. Hardly any chicken* Steak plate - cold and all lumped togetherFor the amount of money we paid, we expect higher quality. Bill about $50 (which included 2 flan). Also, we didn't get the ordered guac. :(
