Restaurant Méxicain El Cactus in Châteauguay

Excellent restaurant, well located in the center of the city, I loved the seafood tacos.

The food has good seasoning, and the service is very good. Congratulations

The food was absolutely disgusting! I havent eaten as well as this for a long time! Very satisfied! Recommend to everyone!

3rd experience at el Cactus and best Latin cuisine experience on the South Shore of Montreal, I recommend it to everyone

Woow!! Excellence !! Tessa was awesome!<3

The food is excellent. The staff is exceptional and courteous.

3rd time at El Cactus, still good!

The best Mexican cuisine. Very tasty dishes. Nachos and tacos a big wow. I recommend it.

Excellent Mexican cuisine. The only flaw in my opinion is the lack of choice on the menu.

Delicious ! The menu changes according to the season. Sunday is Tapas evening. Beautiful interior and exterior decor. Pretty terrace in summer.

Really a great discovery! Super warm little place with a super nice atmosphere that allows us to escape. We ate very well and had a good time

C étais ma première fois, et ma dernière. Les plats étaient pas vraiment délicieux. J ai pris des tacos el pastor généralement il y a des ananas il n y avait pas d ananas, la viande était très sec. Les Quesadillas étaient aussi très sec et salé la sauce était sans goût. Ce n est pas un vrai restaurant mexicain. Les amateurs de tacos ne vont pas être satisfaits.

Good meal but I preferred the dishes of past years....it was more delicious but a place to discover!

We had a little wait to get our drinks but for the rest its just too good even perfect

I really liked my first visit, good food, good tequila, good beer, good service! First octopus Ive eaten and Ill recommend some next time! Super good tacos!

Wow what a beautiful evening at this restaurant yesterday the food was delicious and the service impeccable our waitress was super friendly wow thank you very much

El Cactus is a true culinary treasure in Châteauguay! The experience there is wonderful from start to finish. The decor is vibrant and welcoming. The staff are incredibly friendly and provide exceptional service, making every visit enjoyable. The al pastor tacos were incredibly tasty, with perfectly balanced flavors, and the marinated chicken was tender and juicy. The portions are generous and the quality of the ingredients is felt in every bite. The warm ambiance adds a special touch to this already great restaurant. It s a place that I highly recommend to all lovers of Mexican cuisine (and good drinks).

Food was OK, but service I had to order my dish twice because they were not listening. The place was really crowded and the waitress were really overloaded

The cocktails are very excellent definitely 5 out of 5 n the food was excellent

Very salty food, passable service, 18% minimum tip displayed

Unfortunately this restaurant is no longer what it used to be. The new decor is less beautiful than before but above all, the service is mediocre. Such a shame!

Im changing my original review since the experience has changed over the last few years. The drinks, although delicious and original, are now no longer worth it. The mason jars as seen in my photos have been replaced by glasses half smaller, and yet the price has not changed. The meat in my tacos was gray and lukewarm, sadly looking like it had been reheated in the microwave for the occasion. Possibly a bad luck, the rest of the food was OK, but not extraordinary either. Difficult to explain, but the magic or the feeling of authenticity was no longer there. The terrace is nice and sunny, the service is excellent and fast, but as for the food (quality, price & quantity), I will have to give it up given the downward trend during my last visits. This restaurant has become for me a shadow of what it once was, in terms of cuisine. At $50-60 per person, Ill look elsewhere if Im there... My original 5 star review is now 3 stars.

Decent atmosphere and service. Very disappointing food; bland, salty, without character. Was the chef on vacation? An eight year old child was having fun in the kitchen? As a starter, a block of orange cheese melted in the microwave with a sad strip of red pepper and a few tablespoons of salt. Chips (the highlight of the meal) and cold white flour tortillas to wash it all down. For the main meal, rubber tortillas hold a flour sauce worthy of a frozen grocery store meal where a few cubes of chicken and three kernels of canned corn are hidden. An aragula salad dripping with oil accompanies this, you would like to believe it when you see it but nothing; its only kick is salt, salt and salt.

Very good restaurant

Great place only concerns are about the food. First we got the nachos with pico, which is store bought chips with a side of pico. As a main course we got the birria tacos, what a disappointment. Flavourless, tiny tiny dish of consume, mostly fat, no onions nor coriander. Would not go back for the food, maybe drinks with friends because the atmosphere is cool.

We werent sure what some things were on the menu. But everything looked amazing and the food was delicious! A very Mexican aesthetic. Wheelchair accessibility: Its not wheelchair accessible at all. Its not to be mean, its fine, its just to say that there are shaky stairs to go down and the bathroom is very small. Its an amazing restaurant but its just not handicap accessible.

This restaurant has its good and bad. First of all, the margaritas are excellents! Sadly, the service is very bad. It takes so long to be welcomed, to order and to get the orders. (That was our experience, but the people next to us arrived after us and got everything so quick, they left before we had our meals. *we ordered tacos, just like them*) maybe they were the lucky ones or they were regulars The food has a lack of flavor. It s not bad, but it s not wow . They could use more spices and tastiness. It is totally overpriced for what it is. The restaurant is very nice and well decorated. It is nice to look around and discover all the cute things everything. They have nice merch. Overall, I would not recommend.

I came to eat with my family today 05-29-2024. Once I finished eating I asked for the bill which was around $85 taxes included. I ask the waitress to add $5 tip and she tells me that I should tip 15% of my bill and that its the law. I made him understand that I knew my laws and that the 15% was not obligatory. With my three children getting impatient and her doing everything to convince me, I stuck to my position and she ended up giving in while showing me her disapproval. I will never set foot in a restaurant again. I do it to please my family. Just as I learned to go there, I will also learn to do without it and eat with my family at home! This was an unpleasant and disrespectful experience for me and I will make sure it is the last time!

Best Mexican place in the Montreal area. Dont be fooled because it s hidden in chateauguay

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent food.

The food is excellent and the atmosphere is pleasant, but unfortunately the quality of service is disappointing. On a Friday evening in May, in addition to waiting to get in, we waited an hour before getting our entrée and another hour before getting our main meal. No apology or explanation was given to us. With the vast array of restaurants in the area, we wont take the chance of ruining another couples outing. Damage.

My expectations were high for this restaurant which apparently would be well known. Very disappointed with our meal. Firstly, between the starter and the main meal we waited 45 minutes. I had the 3 pescado tacos and when I was served my plate I immediately looked for where the halibut was. Very tiny portion and not put in the foreground hide under the cabbage. No particular flavor . It was quite disappointing.

If you want to go on the brush with your friends and chill with the waitresses. This is the ideal place. The food is super good but expensive for a small quantity. Dont go there if its for a date with your girlfriend, youll hate your experience. The atmosphere gives the impression of being in a neighborhood bar run by busy children. Its sad because the place is visually great. Outdoor mosquito management would be required.

Nachos are good

Wonderful experience! Margaritas! Tacos! Octopus! WOW!!!!!!

Excellent ! The food, the drinks!

Maybe Im in trouble, but paying a little more than 4 times the price of a bottle seems expensive to me. Everything about the decor is superb :) Our waitress was very nice and we didnt miss anything. I was disappointed that there was no soup, but I had a tapas for $22 which was delicious...but tiny. Someone with a normal appetite would certainly eat 3 or 4 Parking: There is a small parking lot available, but fills up quickly. We cheated and parked in the restaurant parking lot across the street

Nice décor, good margaritas, decent food. Honestly, though, I did a little warm/stuffy inside, so much so that we cut our dinner short. Tacos are OK, but there s better Mexican restaurants around. I find it very pricey for what you get. 140 bucks for some tacos, salsa and chips, and a couple drinks Seems a little extra extra.

We came here before the renovations & new menu which at that time the food & atmosphere was already good but I must say that you have outdone yourselves! The place looks even better; the colors & decorations are beautiful & relaxing along with the Mexican music in the background. We are transported to Mexico without leaving here! Your new menu is even more delicious & we like the new choices. We are for sure returning & bringing the family too! Wishing you a continued success! See you again!

Great food, but our order took longer than normal. But it was worth the wait. Food

It was the first time and it was the last, Very long service, the plates are not filled and it is expensive for what is on the plate, we were 5 adults and we all stopped at McDonalds for each eating a trio because we were all still hungry, very disappointed to have wasted my time in the restaurant.

I really loved it. I thought at first it was just spicy food. Well no. The food was very good. And Ive never had such good cocktails. The service was very good. And yes I will definitely go back

Great discovery for me without having to go to Montreal to rediscover the traditional tastes of Mexican cuisine. What can we say about the cocktails they are DELICIOUS!! It has as much for savory tastes as for sweeter ones. I went there on a Tuesday when there was a $5 taco promotion. I told myself that the quality/quantity would perhaps be reduced but not at all!! I recommend that anyone who likes authentic Mexican cuisine go there quickly

Second time there and loved the experience! Food is authentic and so delicious. Prices are reasonable. Friendly service. Place is soo well decorated and quaint. Highly recommend Lisa

food was great! we did a tasting menu on a Sunday and the favorite was the shrimp taco!

IDK what happened this time but the pirata cocktail that I always take at this place was not so great, the taste wasnt balanced. My wifes drink wasnt prepared well as well and when she told that to the waitress she started to convince us that this is okay, we returned it and asked to redo, food was so-so beef tacos were great but the chicken shrimp wasnt, chicken was overcooked and dry. We ended up with a 125$ bill without tips for two people. At the end this was great evening, will come back to El Cactus

The best restaurant in Châteauguay. Review changes January 2024: 2 star atmosphere and I remove 1 star... Unfortunately the renovations and change of decor are, in my opinion, a failure. The colorful atmosphere of the old decor is no longer! Made drab and very ordinary... disappointment during my visit when it reopened on January 25. But the food is still so good!!! I am changing my previous opinion: THE best Mexican restaurant!!! Great atmosphere a must!! Everything but everything is good I just came back from Mexico and I would say its better at El Cactus!!!!! Thanks to the new owners for keeping the concept! Parking: You can always park at Maison Le Pailleur, a stones throw from the restaurant. In the evening, the Maison Le Pailleur site is available for parking.

An institution in Chateauguay!!!

Overrated place! Very small! Everyone is cramped up; no real privacy for a date night. The food is so expensive for what it is, and the taste is very ordinary! They just take advantage of being the only taco place in Chateauguay, which is very disappointing!

As for the food, everything is very good and the service too. In terms of atmosphere, the only downsides were the music too loud in my opinion and the tables too close together, so much so that the waitresses had difficulty moving around. But all in all I highly recommend it, it s like being in Mexico!

What a pleasure to have a restaurant like this in the area! Everything was perfect, my only downside was the music in the carpet... We couldnt hear each other too much and as a result people spoke even louder - so a little tiring in the long run...

Fine Mexican food

Happy margarita! Well-appointed traditional menu with surrounding decor

Typical and tasty dishes + festive atmosphere with warm and attentive staff

Great meal! Great service!! THANKS!!

Food is delicious, but probably the worst service I ever received.

This place is so wonderful. If you get there right at 5:00 youll get a choice of seats. But it fills up fast. So delicious 100% go!

Excellent food. Good service. I recommend you

Save your money and go to Boulevard on Tuesday

Our waitress was at her second shift, so she had trouble recommending dishes, but the food was good. We also tried the lemonade, and it was delicious. Overall, good spot yo try out if you like Mexican.

Very good service despite a busy evening. The small drinks are reminiscent of those served in Mexico. It feels like we re in Cancun! The quality of the dishes was superb. I recommend!

I normally love this restaurant but sadly, tonight I experienced horrible service. We had been waiting for over an hour to get our first round of drinks. The waitress never asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. Our food was great but took almost two hours to come. Our waitress didn t bring our cutlery until we asked and she would often ignore our table. It seemed like we had been forgotten. It may be because it was busy but we noticed other tables we re being served in a timely manner, expect ours.

Really poor service. Meal good but not enough. It took 2 hours before having the main meal. The two of us had time to finish our bottle of wine before having our meal. Unfortunate because beautiful place

We were a group of 12 people. Disastrous service. It took over 45m to get my drink after asking for it 4 times. Starter: 1 and a half tablespoons with a piece of overcooked octopus! 3 tortas too dry as a meal. Not the waitresss fault but an expensive evening for what it was...

Cute spot, but food is quite overpriced and theyre often out of things. The last 2 times I went, they seated us without telling us they were out of everything that wasnt meat (I dont eat meat!) and last time, they were out of guacamole. Lovely view of the river and good cocktails though!

Good food, authentic, colorful atmosphere. Not much parking or room inside. A good place to discover. Update: Its a lot worse since the change of ownership, and the music is so loud that you cant hear yourself speaking.

They dont take reservations for everyone but we wait an hour, then another hour and then 30 minutes to finally go eat elsewhere. Wait 2 hours and 30 minutes to eat elsewhere. They should take all reservations and those who dont reserve then its their choice but make people wait 2 hours 30 minutes to then go eat elsewhere (it was 9 oclock in the evening).

Best Mexican restaurant

Super fun atmosphere. Great way to end the week. Margaritas were delicious! Ordered pico de gallo, barril tacos and beef tacos. Super fun. Friendly staff but packed, so lots of running around. Line up out the door. Go early.

Far from being like before. Service so slow (1 hour having the main meal, having the starter after the meal 30 minutes later). Price too expensive for what it is. It changed. Damage.

A bit of a wait but understandable considering its a small space and we went on a sat night. The food was A1! We wanted the steak tacos but they had none left so we opted for chickem and shrimp. They were delicious! Full of flavor. The cocktails were also very good. I find them to be generous with the alcohol . Get the nachos with beef to start and thank me later. I did not expect to be blown away as much as I did so we will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu!

A year or two ago I gave this restaurant a 5 star review which was more than worth it. I went back recently and although the taste of the food hasnt changed, the service is not at all the same as before. We stayed there for 2.5 hours for 3 tacos and a plate of nachos. Our main courses ($22 for 3 flank steak tacos which would have cost $3 at the warehouse considering the quantity of meat present) arrived before the starter, which the waitress had completely forgotten to call to the kitchen. In short, a disappointing experience, especially since this restaurant was previously one of the best in town

Good food, nice terrace.

Waited 2 hours for an unsealed quesadillas, so my food all dropped on my plate. Was disappointed that the chicken had a tuna consistency. The margarita is 65% ice

Very disappointed with the service and attitude of the restaurant owner. A big 0 overall! This is the 6th time Ive eaten here and the service we had is beyond ridiculous. 10 minutes to wait at the bar for the menu while the employees clearly ignored us! Dirty water glasses received!! 0 water refills for the evening!!!!! I leave the table on a Sunday serving 7 tapas and I go to eat again because Im still hungry. Basically, its like a lottery, sometimes you come and youre hungry en masse and sometimes you come out still hungry! But above all the landlady found an excuse for everything. The dirty glasses are because they came out of the dishwasher... For the water, they dare tell me that I just had to ask for a refill? Go take a management course and youll see that its not an answer to give to your recurring customers. I will definitely come back to this restaurant, if you want to be silly go eat at El Cactusssss yummm Too bad you have a nice terrace and good food sometimes, but you treat your customers with 0 respect. By the way the waitress was superb and she got 15% tip. Little message for the owner; sometimes accept your faults and stop finding excuses for each reproach because we are not perfect in life!

Wonderful. The food is great and the drinks just add to the to an already great experience Parking: Limited parking near the restaurant, but if you dont mind a little walking you can park at the municipal parking at St Joachim Church

My compliments to the chef ,we had the Sunday fixed menu. Eight dishes ,all delicious. I was more than pleased . Will definitely be going back.

Good price and nice staff

Beautiful place and amazing food

Its a must! A great gastronomic experience! To do again!

A first for me but what a first...a Mexican restaurant on the south shore with the atmosphere and flavor of Mexico

Excellent restaurant, a little treasure to discover. The wait can be long, dont show up hungry! But its worth the wait.

The food is very good! The nachos are excellent. They have a beautiful little terrace on the waters edge. The only negative is the parking, there arent many spaces available.

Difficult to park. The service was so long. Not the most authentic cuisine. Beautiful decor, friendly staff.

The parking wasn t great. We waited 20+ minutes before we were served, which was longer than expected. The food was a small portion and the price was pretty high for what it was. Our meals were very bland, no hint of spice, chilli or flavor. I was also surprised to see that the beef was ground beef - I guess this was my fault for having the expectation that it may be barbacoa, or another braised version of beef. I m sad to say that we left disappointed and not full. The decor was really fun and eclectic which was definitely the highlight!

Excellent

Update June 2023 I have been a regular for over 5 years. I have come there dozens of times with great pleasure. I havent been back since the pandemic. Unfortunately prices have exploded (like everywhere else you tell me). Thats not so much the problem as the quantity of food. I ordered birria tacos, the taste was very good despite the fact that the tacos were not fried in the meat cooking fat as is usually the case. But the portion of three tiny tacos for $24 with tax ($27 with tip) was completely unrealistic. My friends plate wasnt much better. It was with great disappointment that I returned home. __________ 2018: The best Mexican restaurant on the South Shore. You must arrive at the opening or have a reservation several days in advance by email. It is only open in the evening and only from Wednesday to Sunday from 5:00 p.m. They take vacations during the winter and usually close for a month. Its a family restaurant thats why... Now what is striking when you arrive is the decor, all from Mexico of course. Its eclectic but we dont get tired of it. We discover new things each time we visit. The food. WOW! Everything is fresh, everything is good, very spicy but not necessarily spicy. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the dishes are tapas at $6 each. Which allows you to take several things to taste as many things as possible. Usually 3 tapas make up a dinner for me. The staff is friendly and pleasant. And I heard they make good cocktails. A must visit Chateauguay.... with a reservation of course. Parking: Very limited spaces and the residential area is not conducive to parking

We had dinner twice. Horrible service .Long wait time before getting our first drink (45 minutes) non-existent waitress stupid waitress.Ordered beef quesadilla and tacos extremely tough beef and plate of tacos for a childs portion Very expensive for the quality of the restaurant.

For a true Mexican experience. Very good food and excellent service. I highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere and good food. Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is accessible as such, however the terrace is not. The toilets are not accessible however, much too small, the only downside.

Very good food very good

Excellent, as always

Wow! This is by far the best Mexican food experience outside of Mexico that we have had simply delicious!!!

Just wow

What an incredible meal! Everything is simply delicious, tasty and authentic. This restaurant is so worth a detour . Even a very big detour to Châteauguay!

I love the food which has nothing to envy of Mexico...... Incredible I recommend it

A good choice that goes beyond the chicken specialty and surpasses many competing restaurants in their genre.

Impeccable service with a wonderful atmosphere, magnificent evening

Average food and service, very average

WoW it was more than delicious the service with Laurie impeccable, the shrimp starter, the guac, the drinks, the tacos and the churros omg we will come back and even often

The food is excellent, the restaurant is beautiful, the terrace is well located along the river and the service was perfect.

It s worth the detour! Everything is fresh. The classic margarita is absolutely excellent!

Taco Tuesday!!! Everything was awesome

Completely delicious! Dietary restrictions: Delicious

Beautiful terrace, in October it was just perfect. The food is very good. Beautiful presentation. Portions OK...could be a little better considering the prices. Good and beautiful cocktail. Great service. We will definitely return.

I wanted to give 10/5. Simply incredible Vegetarian options: Vegetarian taco option

Awesome and authentic food! Not your typical, Americanized, Mexican restaurant. Quaint little place, decorated with all the charm that the Mexican culture has to offer. If you like Mexican, you cant go wrong.

Excellent restaurant! Its beautiful in addition to being good! Beautiful atmosphere, the service is impeccable and the dishes well presented. Bravo, its a must!

First and last time! We were a group of 12 The first person who placed their order finally ate the last one 3 hours later and had to settle for a plate that she hadnt even ordered, because like most of the people sitting at this table we had Did not receive what we ordered. As we were leaving a lady from the staff asked us what we thought of our experience and we told her we were very disappointed. We did not receive the dishes we ordered, it was all mixed up, it was cold, steak not cooked and cold inside etc... The lady has become arrogant, but if you dont want to know, maam, dont ask the question. I give your attitude a zero. With an apology and a less haughty attitude on his part and less denigration for the city where we came from it would have done the same :) The bill of almost $100 would have been easier to digest. We still had a 1h30 drive there and back.

When its good I say it, when its bad I say it too. If you are not able to take comments, change jobs. Arrival 6 p.m., departure. 9 p.m. Endless wait to receive our order,,,which was not what we had ordered and whats more it wasnt even lukewarm it was cold. 2nd attempt, they arrived with a flank steak supposed to be medium-rare but which was rare and still not hot enough (lukewarm). The owner was unapologetic and had an attitude of haughty indifference that I have never seen before. No nachos with salsa are offered as appetizers on the tables like most restaurants offer. Definitely not a respectable restaurant. It is extremely rare that I am disappointed to this extent and it is not the absence of nachos that determines my opinion but rather the absence of good manners on the part of the owner. Wheelchair accessibility: Impossible for wheelchair. Very small toilet, more than 250lbs good luck.

BEST RESTAURANT EVER! The owner has such a great attitude. So sweet to listen to. A person with a lot of humor. The food was excellent, the flank steak was excellent for inspiration Super fast service. The delicious cocktails The employees are magnificent, the restaurant is simply worth the detour

Impeccable service, the waitresses are really really nice I had the beef burrito and it was terribly disappointing. It tasted like the old el paso mix. The burrito was tiny and it was dry ground meat. More green salad than burrito, for $22, its flat. My partner had chicken and it was better though. The guacamole was excellent!

Our first time here was during their Sunday Tapas. I would have preferred to go on a regular night because I dont think some of the things they served were worth it.

Great atmosphere and excellent food

Wow always so refreshing. ... Vibrant... Delicious... Impeccable service. I adore !!!

Best Mexican restaurant around. The staff is friendly, the food is excellent, I go there regularly with friends to have a good evening!!!

Fast service, attentive staff and food as good as ever! On the other hand, despite the obligation to wear a mask in force, no member of the staff wore one.

Good place

So delicious, exceptional service food exploding with flavors...wow! Like in Mexico.

Very good, but don t forget to smile

Beautiful and delicious

Great experience, food service and venue all super. Not cheap, but dont feel ripped off for a change. Worth the money, great value!

Really delicious, but small portions. Dishes average around $22 dessert 8 which easily raises the bill to $50 pp including tax and tip.

I loved it! Really great service and the food is delicious. Mojitos

This is a very good restaurant. The food is very delicious. The wine is very delicious. The waiters served very well. Really good

Great vibe and food. The cocktails were delicious too. Service was courteous and fun. Great place for a date, family, parties or just a few drinks. Will definitely return.

A cute hidden gem with a beautiful view in the back! The decor and music were great! Awesome cocktail options and really great Mexican food of high quality! Would def recommend the cheese fondue as an appetizer ! Cant wait to go back and try more!

Very good restaurant with charm. Good drinks, good service and a good atmosphere. I highly recommend.

So lets see the inflation, 3 mini tacos for $21.. It was a good idea

Awesome !

We ate delicious tacos Our kids loved them. Cute decoration and very friendly service. Highly recommended

Everything is perfect! The food is authentic! A real Mexican. WELL DONE!

Great selection of authentic Mexican &south American dishes and cocktails. Reserve a riverside patio seat ahead of time...

Everything is excellent as usual, very good service and smiling and attentive staff

Vraiment cher, pas bon du tout et je trouve regrettable de dire ça. Cétait très bon, AVANT. Ceux qui connaissent la culture mexicaine savent quun pico de gallo a besoin de bcp de limes et doignons et que le taco al pastor nest pas fait avec des cubes de filets de porc et quon accompagne TOUJOURS les plats avec de la sauce piquante !

Worst Mexican restaurant Ive ever been to. The service was very bad. I asked for a non-alcoholic mojito and was told they couldnt make one for me. I asked for water. I had to take a bottle of water from a table behind me after 30 minutes with my empty glass. All the food lacked spices. It was very bland and considering the price of the dishes, I would like to make a comment to warn you not to waste your money in this restaurant. The plates were not all hot when they arrived at the table. A place I will never return to in my life.

The tapas evening is not worth the trip. They are good but some are prepared with ingredients already prepared in advance, commercial style. For value for money, something is missing. Cocktails are delicious!

Great food, authentic experience, friendly staff! Very tight quarters though. Drinks are very good. Love the ambiance and music!

Real mexican taste, real good but a bit expensive Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs

I discovered this restaurant this year and it quickly became one of my favorites for its very good Mexican dishes (and not Tex Mex), its warm staff, its festive atmosphere, its excellent cocktails and its beautiful terrace on the edge of the river. River. The decor is also very successful. This evening, our experience was most pleasant thanks to Patricias admirable service. A waitress who takes the time to ask our names and still remembers them at the end of the meal is the kind of detail that enhances a great evening! When are salsa verde enchiladas due?

Decent. Food has changed since original owners sold. Drinks expensive

Normally I dont write reviews ,Very disappointed that the new owners have taken so much off the menu. The cheese appetizer we ordered was very bland and dry. The previous one was so delicious and served with 3 different things, and little tortillas. The one tonight was thick white cheese with a a few bits of Chirozo sausage and very little mushrooms, and served with what seemed like store bought chips. The main plate wasnt really good either.

Excellent food!!! I love the colorful decor, I highly recommend.

No changing table due to the small toilet on site, interesting menu and consumption

Such a gem in Châteauguay! This place is kinda small, but the ambiance is amazing. The drinks and food are delicious, the portions are big. You really feel like you re somewhere else! A must go.

Wonderful food. Because I dont appreciate too spicy food, they were able to accomodate my taste to a nice dish with shrimp, what I liked pretty much. Ill return for sure.

Very good food with very nice ambient, location and attendance.

The food is delicious, note they dont take reservations but the place is amazing

I love this place! The atmosphere is excellent, the food is good quality, the cocktails are very good and the staff are friendly and courteous. I recommend you without hesitation and I promise you an excellent evening!

I loved the food there

The food was outstanding! Best Mexican Ive had in a long time. Try it out you wont be disappointed.

If you like to lose your money, I recommend El Cactus. From my experience, I felt extorted both times I decided to eat there. First time (years ago, before inflation), our plate arrives, ridiculous portions (2 small tortillas with two bites of meat each) and you dont taste the authenticity, its like minced meat from maxi with a little Cajun spices, gratinated with Petit Québec. I do better at home. But what shocks us is the lemonade. $7 for a glass of water with a quarter of lime in it. (It doesnt taste like lemonade). $75 total and were still hungry when we leave. Ok, we said to ourselves that maybe it was just us, a bad experience, but I really gave up on the restaurant since I went back. Honestly casa di mama was 100% better in my opinion. We thought that the 8-course deal at $25/person in times of inflation was a good special, but we realized that the 8 courses are in reality 8 snacks, it tastes like torch gas, we wait 45 minutes between each service (and honestly weve seen restaurants busier than that for less waiting) and in the end, were still hungry for $65 total and for food that doesnt really look authentic. You expect to pay a lot for the experience, but its not even close to it. Incidentally, the waitress who welcomed us was unpleasant. I would feel less robbed paying for a ticket at the end of the month than going back to eat at El Cactus.

Enjoyed our meals here!

Best Mexican resto i have tried so far, Authentic taste, best service. Hmm well, everything is the best.

Excellent food for reasonable price. I have only been once there, but I will surely go back. Food and cocktails are great. Personnel is very nice, polite and accomodated my choices taking into account my food intolerances. The view from the terasse is magnificent. The location could not have been better. Even if I try my best, I cant find any drawbacks

Excellent customer service with a smile, superb food and drinks, great atmosphere. What more can you ask for?

I loved my experience! The food is excellent and what can we say about the atmosphere!!! Wow

Small portion. Raw rice, nothing Mexican apart from the decorations.

Bad value for money, lack of filling in the tacos and flavor. Friendly service but lacks speed. Dont waste your money there! Very disappointing experience

Flank steak tacos are stupid! Good service, a little overpriced. But hey, thats what inflation is.

A great experience, the food is super good, fast service. I highly recommend
