The Scene
Exposed-brick walls, stylish wood furniture, fireplaces and bright Mexican landscape paintings create an urban, easygoing vibe. The second floor has an open kitchen for tapas and a low-lit bar with a balcony overlooking… Read Full Editorial

Disaster by User G via Insider Pages on 5/16/2012
I invited eighteen of my family member to enjoy Mother's Day Brunch! I had been here on my anniversary and it was fabulous. Well Mother's day was awful. No food, improper seating didn't seat at reservation time. This was the most…
Yea Brunch by getemdone via Citysearch on 1/20/2010
The Sunday brunch from 10am-3pm is a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday. We sat on the patio and had the best view. Our server kept our $5.00 bottomless mimosas coming. My favorite food items were the biscuits and spicy gravy, omlets,…
Good food by Aimee S via Insider Pages on 11/19/2009
The Iron Cactus is a Mexican food restaurant in downtown Dallas. I was excited to eat there because of my experience at the location in San Antonio. The food was good, but I was annoyed by the flies that kept trying to get to my food!
Great Place by BrendanJ via Citysearch on 11/16/2009
I do not ever write reviews but I had the best birthday at the Iron Cactus. First of all, thank you for not singing. Nothing is more embarassing than ten people you do not know trying to remember your name while singing happy birthday.…
Hostess Confusion by Rachel L via Insider Pages on 8/16/2009
I've been to two happy hours on the second and third floors of this restaurant. Hostesses seem to have some type of memory loss because they always direct us to the wrong floor. Bartenders are very courteous and helpful, but sometimes…
Cactus by hiplady via Citysearch on 7/27/2009
My husband and I had our engagement party there and it went great. They did a great job setting up and keeping our guests happy. The smiles were always there and drinks full. The food was amazing! Recomending it to you for large parties.
Definately Wow'd by JACKIEANDREWS via Citysearch on 3/4/2009
OH MY GOSH! Our rehearsal dinner was WONDERFUL-- Everything was just perfect and I can't think of anything I could tell you that could have been changed for the better...Everything was just how we wanted it, from the pictures being…
Great Restaurant & Bar by cbooth1215 via Citysearch on 4/18/2008
I have been 3 times to this location, and each time the food has been amazing, the service was great, and it was just a nice relaxing atmosphere. I even took my family here for my dad's birthday, and we were treated like we were the only…
very helpful by newtodallas via Citysearch on 3/31/2008
I recently came to Dallas for a few weeks on a company trip. On one of my first days in Dallas, I went over to the Iron Cactus to have something to eat, and I sat at the bar. While I was waiting on my food and having a drink, I was trying…
Avoid it by Erica277 via Citysearch on 3/7/2008
The drinks are acceptable but the food is really bad and overpriced. I definitely don't recommend this place but if you want to try anyways do it on weekdays when the grown-ups are around downtown; on weekends the place gets crowded with…
Horrible large group experience here by dallaskate via Citysearch on 8/5/2007
My complaint about this restaurant could go on forever, but I'll keep it as brief as possible. Made reservations over a month in advance for a large bachelorette party here for dinner & drinks - hostess tried to seat us on the patio,…
I'd go back by chicagotodallas via Citysearch on 11/2/2006
I've been there a couple times and enjoyed it. Not many combinations of ways to put together rice, meat, cheese and beans but, they've got a few variations and creative dishes (chicken stuffed w/ corn and corn bread for example is pretty…
Best Neighborhood Restaurant and Bar by mcave via Citysearch on 10/31/2005
I have been to the Iron Cactus quite a few times recently. Being a downtown resident I can't express what a plus it is to have the "Cactus" as part of our neighborhood! The management team is outstanding as the consistently GREAT food and…
