Good food, not great by Zogsauce on 9/29/2010 via Citysearch
The place has pretty decent food. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible either. It's convenient and quick if you want to grab a quick bite to eat. They get extra points for friendly service.

Cactus Taqueria by William H on 8/6/2009 via Insider Pages
I have family that lives down the street and I try to make it down to Cactus every opportunity I get. The food is delicious and there's plenty of seating. Prices are reasonable and I'm a big fan of the salsas.

Great Mexican place; very family-friendly by Jennifer M on 6/6/2009 via Insider Pages
This is kind of embarrassing -- I live in the Mission district, but one of my favorite Mexican restaurants is in Rockridge! There seems to be a bimodal distribution of Mexican restaurants in the Bay -- greasy hole in-the-wall or overpriced…

DEE-licious Mexican food by alingane on 1/12/2009 via Citysearch
The food is unique, but also authentic. They serve a wide range of burritos, enchiladas, plus tamales, chile rellenos and more of the platos tipicos that you'd expect from a sit down restaurant in a fast environment.

Fast, Delicious, Reasonable by Kyoko R on 7/31/2007 via Insider Pages
Pro: Fast, Delicious, Reasonable, family friendly\r Con: parking, (could possibly be) long line.\r Try their Mole sauce, as well as crispy chicken taco.

this place attracted my attention one day when i was getting off the BART. it was justs remodeled and it had the look of a really nice fast food place. naturally i had to try it but i was sadly disappointed. their food was mediocre and…

Free-range meat and tasty desserts! by Dani N. on 6/8/2006 via Judy's Book
I love, love, love Cactus. I love anyplace where I can cram a healthy and fiilling burrito into my hypoglycemic eight-year-old for maybe three bucks. I love that they use Niman Ranch free-range hormone-free meat, and still only cost around…

good food, but overpriced and poor service by alyk on 5/13/2006 via Citysearch
been going to cactus for 5+ yrs and the food just isn't worth the trouble any longer. the last 8 times we've gotten to go food, there has been a mistake.

Great quick meal by jcm55 on 4/25/2006 via Citysearch
Cactus is my default location for a quick meal. It's walking distance from my house, and the price is right. Best fish tacos and fish burritos I've had anywhere. I see several negative comments about the service here, but I haven't had…

Awesome shrimp plate and flan by jessgopal on 2/22/2006 via Citysearch
This is my favorite mexican place. You can't go wrong with anything you order. It's all really fresh. A little noisy and crowded most of the time, but food comes pretty fast. Try to get the flan when they first cook it and package it --…

Como se dice "grubbin' burritos"? by chula on 8/30/2005 via Citysearch
I come here regularly, and now that I've gotten used to their burritos, everyone else's seem to be lacking something. I've never gotten anything but the "burrito mejor" so I can't speak to the quality of the other items. I always get my…

best in the bay hands down. i love this place and highly recomend to everyone.

Great for families by Brian B. on 5/25/2005 via Judy's Book
The burritos aren't great, but they are very good. The carnitas doesn't melt in your mouth, the salsas aren't smokey perfection. If you're used to the best of the Mission, this is a pale shadow. 10 years ago (when they had the one location…

Best in the Bay by hjs5114 on 5/20/2005 via Citysearch
I lived in Rockridge for three years. During that time I becamed hooked on Cactus Taqueria. The food is always fresh and tastes great, the portions are generous and the service always friendly to me. Now when I return to the Bay Area I…

I love Cactus. by Peter I. on 3/23/2005 via Judy's Book
From my experience, you really can't go wrong at Cactus; however, the Shrimp Crispy Tacos and the Green Mole anything are particularly strong choices. If you haven't been there, it is definitely worth giving a try.

Hearty Burritos, Great selections by Dara R. on 2/27/2005 via Judy's Book
Definetly the best burrito place in the East Bay. Fabulous choices of dishes and fillings.

no problems here by owenseightbal on 8/30/2004 via Citysearch
I go to the new catus a couple times a month and have never had a problem with the staff. I wait in line get my tacos and go. I am not there to chat with the assembly line. I have only once had my order screwed up. They gave me prawns…

East Bay college kids swear by this small local chain that serves cheap, fresh, generous portions of Mexican fast food. by Contributor on 6/30/2004 via Citysearch
The Scene
Long a favorite with families and college students, the cafeteria-style service is quick and kid-friendly. The place has a festive air, with wooden chairs and tables lacquered in primary colors, and the open kitchen…

Rude staff = no return business by pdevaux on 1/13/2004 via Citysearch
The food at Cactus is tasty and relatively cheap, but the service is anything but stellar. Here's a hint for management: You're surrounded by many equally good burrito joints, so when your staff is surly and confrontational, don't expect…

Rude Service Has Driven Me Away by lupina on 10/27/2003 via Citysearch
I used to be a Cactus regular, eating there at least twice a week. Ever since they moved to their new corner location, however, I have been sorely disappointed. The food quality has gone down, but the thing that is keeping me from ever…
