A very fine place to go, great service, excellent food, and the spicy margarita has a nice little bite. Will be going back.

I was walking past Iron Cactus with a group of friends on Aug 6th around 8pm when we were approached by a member of their street promotion staff. He aggressively pushed us to come inside. We politely declined, explaining we had just finished eating across the street. He kept at it anyway, repeatedly getting in our faces, asking where we were headed and what our plans were, I responded with its none of your business and to move onto another group of people. He then told us he was the owner of Iron Cactus along with some snide remarks.
If that's how the owner treats people on the sidewalk, I want nothing to do with this establishment, and I'll be encouraging my friends to stay away as well.

I visited iron cactus for the first time this weekend. Sat at the bar, ordered the ahi tuna ceviche. I’m about 2 bites in when a cockroach crawls out from under the bed of lettuce the tuna was on.
I politely tried to wave over the bartender. After a few failed attempts I went to the host stand to tell them. Keep in mind I’m still staring at this cockroach roam all over this dish. She tells the manager, who walks over and asks me what’s wrong. I tell him the situation, and he responds “that’s just Austin.”
I am so horrified and disgusted. You’d be wise to never visit.

Service was decent, and the food was pretty fresh, however it was incredibly overpriced for what you get.
I ordered a shrimp salad, (had to remove tortilla strips due to dietary restrictions) but expected a bowl full of greens with loads of corn and tomatoes, and a good portion of fresh shrimp. I got a plate with some mildly garnished greens, and only 4 shrimp. The shrimp was flavorful, however, it was a highly unsatisfying meal, lacked depth, and was not at all worth the $20.
The frozen margarita and peach mule were pretty good. I wouldn't recommend the food but I would consider stopping here again for happy hour.

Great food, great service, & pretty cool place to people watch if you sit by the window. Spent a lot of time looking for a lunch spot & picked a good one.
Cucumber smash was one of the best I think I’ve ever had. Decent drink prices as well. This was one of the best looking, inexpensive restaurants we looked at on 6th.
Service was great & would def come back again.
