The atmospheric Aztec Theater, restored and geared toward tourists, struggles to find an audience while its downstairs neighbor, the Iron Cactus, appears to be thriving. Could more than 100 tequilas have something to do with IC's drawing… Read Full Editorial

My Review by phillipg1927426631 via Citysearch on 5/6/2013

Iron Cactus is pretty pricey but I guess that should be expected on the riverwalk. I wasn't very pleased with my entree but a bite of my friends Rosemary Chicken was pretty tatsty. The mixed drinks and margs are delicious but again are…

Great food and a GREAT party! by wannabarunner via Citysearch on 10/14/2011

Iron Cactus is our favorite place to eat while in San Antonio, so I decided to have my husband's 40th birthday party in the Agave room. The service I received during the planning and the evening of the party was PERFECT! I could not have…

Shockingly poor customer service to locals! by MarSib via Citysearch on 9/4/2011

Exceedingly poor customer service. Attended banquet 09.01.2011. Group paid over $2K. Ran out of food with about 30% of the group left (including me & husband)! Iron Cactus demanded over $500 to bring out more food. They acquiesced and…

Good Margarita; not good food by remac via Citysearch on 4/18/2011

We were there on a Thursday evening during Fiesta 2011. There was a 20 minute wait for an outdoor table, but no wait to eat at the indoor bar. Indoors, our margarita was EXCELLENT!. Sadly, the service was slow, and the food was boring…

My favorite place on the Riverwalk by rickblan via Citysearch on 4/18/2011

The Iron Cactus is a classy-looking Mexican restaurant at the far end of the Riverwalk. Nice outdoor seating area, and the inside is nicely decorated and feels very swank. The food is always very good--I've had the traditional Mexican…

Great Riverwalk Experience by Ro S via Citysearch on 1/9/2011

We recently held a client event at Iron Cactus. It was a very good experience. The management team was exceptional in all planning aspects and particularly helpful as we were making last minute adjustments. The restaurant was very…

Great place on the River Walk by StephensA via Citysearch on 12/22/2009

The Iron Cactus on the River Walk is delicious, fun, and a great place to take a date or a large group of friends. I know this because I have done both. I reccomend the fajitas, steak encheladas, and all of the margaritas. Just be careful…

Much Improved by chris1973 via Citysearch on 11/30/2009

I read some of the other reviews and have to say that the Iron Cactus has much improved since it first opened. The last time I went the service was perfect. My tea never went less than half empty. The fajitas were tasty and the mexican…

Awesome atmosphere! by Aimee S via Insider Pages on 11/19/2009

The Iron Cactus has great mexican food. Their enchiladas are very good. The atmosphere is amazing since it's right on the river walk in San Antonio!

Iron Cactus is AMAZING! by Chase G via Insider Pages on 9/29/2009

This place has it all! Best cheese enchiladas Iv'e ever had and I eat mexican food ALL the time. Wonderful atmosphere & absolutely perfect service from beginning to end

Terrible Service & Sub-Par Food by CricketFoodie via Citysearch on 2/23/2009

We experienced horrible service at the Iron Cactus. A few of our dishes were dirty when brought to the table. The margarita was good but the food was aweful. We ordered Carne Asada and it arrived looking more like a cheap steak that had…

Poor Customer Service Part 1 by magellansatx via Citysearch on 7/27/2008

My party walked in the door at 7:45 and had tickets to Ron White?s 10:00 show at the Majestic. We figured we?d have more than enough time to enjoy dinner and a few Ritas. Oh how could I be so wrong? \r \r To start a heterosexual married…

Poor Customer Services Part 2 by magellansatx2 via Citysearch on 7/27/2008

I called the Iron Cactus while walking to The Majestic and spoke to the manager. He tried to tell me he showed up with out dinner as we walked out. Too bad I couldn?t ask Ron White to delay the show another hour so I could eat dinner. I…

What a joke! by Cowboys98 via Citysearch on 7/21/2008

What a beautiful restaurant to be so poorly run. The food was medicore, the service was terrible and the margaritas were tolerable. It is just another tourist trap on the riverwalk. I am not even sure this should qualify as mexican…

Food and drinks do not live up to first impression by beckcoms via Citysearch on 7/13/2008

The Iron Cactus seemed like a nice place because it has an attractive, trendy look and feel. Our waitress was nice but seemed to be bored with us after a few minutes. The margaritas overall were pretty slow even though the place was fairly…

Best "Table Side" Guacamole EVER! by JaniceDool via Citysearch on 5/10/2008

So a group of friends and I are walking the riverwalk and can't figure out which restaurant to eat at. We stumble upon the Iron Cactus. It is located at the end of the river by the WaterMark hotel. It is probably one of the nicest…
