Waited for about 10 minutes after being seated for someone to take our drink order and no one came. We walked out and told the hostess and the 3 waiters standing at the check in stand what happened and the response was "no worries ". No worries indeed, need not worry about us returning again.

Great place to try when you're visiting the River Walk. The food was delicious and definitely worth it. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the meal. The servers were moving quickly and appeared to be handling too many tables, which made it difficult for them to check in or see if we needed anything. Overall, the food was great, but the service could be improved.
Yall! Go here for a margarita!!! So so so good. Made fresh, was delicious, and at an awesome price. Was recommended this spot by a server along the river walk and wow, it did not disappoint.
Didn’t eat this time but would definitely return to try the food. The tacos looked amazingggg.
The passion fruit marg was wonderful, along with the more traditional double barrel.
Special shout out to Mike for taking such good care of us!

My friends and I came to eat at Iron cactus, the server Juan was great! However the 60$ fajitas came out well done after being ordered medium rare, Juan went to grab us a manager who never came. The whole table finished eating and everything was cold. The manager finally came over after requesting one again, Mike came over and blankly stared at us. We told him what had happened and he was obviously annoyed and did not want to talk to us, he was extremely dismissive and ended up taking the fajitas rolling his eyes and not saying anything. He never followed up or ended up taking care of the fajitas, we had to tell Juan once again who was assertive and took care of it himself. Very unprofessional, as someone who works in the service industry and knows the bare minimum. I was highly disappointed with this experience. However Juan did a great job was super kind and made fantastic drink recommendations!

While visiting from out of town, I always like to check out local restaurants and experience different styles of cuisine. I decided to stop by Iron Cactus for dinner, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
If you’re looking for authentic, homemade-style Mexican food, this may not be the place you’re expecting. However, if you’re looking for a modern, American-style Mexican grill with great flavors, quality ingredients, and a fun atmosphere, Iron Cactus definitely delivers.
What really stood out to me was the customer service. My waitress, Izzy, was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, attentive, and took the time to recommend different menu options, which made the experience even better. Great service can make a big difference, and she definitely helped make the meal enjoyable.
The outdoor seating area was another highlight. Being able to sit outside, enjoy the breeze, and relax while having dinner created a great atmosphere and added to the overall experience.
The food was good, the service was excellent, and the environment was welcoming. If you’re in town and looking for a solid Mexican grill experience with outstanding customer service, I’d recommend giving Iron Cactus a try. I’ll definitely stop by again the next time I’m in the area.
