Cactus Cantina - Calumet-Norvelt

If you want a margarita made from a mix that tastes like gasoline, this is the place for you.

Discovering this spot was a pleasant surprise during the time I lived in DC. Offering authentic Mexican cuisine, it provides a taste of Mexico right in the heart of the city.Beyond the food, the service was friendly and attentive, adding to the enjoyable experience. Additionally, the restaurant maintains a clean and welcoming atmosphere.

My favorite tex mex restaurant ever. Great service, great food. Have been coming for 25+ years.

As a native of Southern California I am very particular about my Mexican food. That being said, Cactus Cantina is the closest thing to home I have found in DC. From the homemade tortillas to the sizzling fajitas, they really know how to do it.On top of that, the service is great!

Cactus Cantina is fine. If you're looking for Tex Mex in the neighborhood then it's a good spot. Also good for groups. The food isn't that flavorful but the service was efficient and nice.
