Most recent review: We've been here a couple times since the last post and I'm happy to report, they've redeemed themselves. Food has been much better, service has been excellent. Even the gentleman at the register seemed fairly pleasant the last time we were there. I'm glad, I really like their food! Recent Updated Post: We have been coming here for a while now and we have always enjoyed it, but this last time was awful. First of all, I don't know who the guy is that sits at the register, but he's extremely rude and has been the last couple times we've been. During our last visit we ordered the carnitas, it was almost all gristle, fat and we even found a piece of bone. Our bill was $50+ and in all honesty, it was so bad it wasn't worth $20, the dips were runny, there was a spoonful of beans and a huge pile of rice on the plate. Just not up to par at all. We won't be going back for a while, hopefully that will give them time to get their act back together. OP: Delicious Mexican food! The Carnitas were excellent, great flavor! Service was good, salsa and chips were on point, guacamole tasty! Highly recommend, we will be back!

My co-worker told me he found this restaurant, so it was another 1st timer. This a very nice place on the inside, it's very environment friendly. As soon as we walked in, we were seated. They have plenty of seating on the inside, as well as the outside. The staff is very friendly, and the service was excellent. The food was top notch, and the pricing is reasonable, it's definitely worth going back too again.

A solid choice for Mexican. We have been going here for a while now. I have had several things off of their menu and haven't been disappointed once. The burritos are great, tacos, and much more. All ways have had speedy service and have never had a food issue.

Red Cactus is a great little place offering Mexican fare. We had a fantastic afternoon out on the patio with attentive service and delicious food. We split a pitcher of margaritas and our food came out hot and fast. The server stopped by now and then to see if we needed anything, but our table was set. Thank you for a great Saturday!

I was recently there for a work lunch. We sat on the patio. The food was excellent. I tried the new Taco Salad Texano, and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and efficient. Patio seating was perfect, considering the gorgeous weather. I will definitely be back to try the new taquitos.

Love the Red Cactus! We stumbled across this place in Franklin. Wow! It is one of the best Mexican restaurants we’ve been to. Our waitress, Michelle Salgada was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back soon!
