The Cactus Lounge

The review I wrote for the Cactus Lounge just a few weeks ago was based on my last visit there, two and a half years ago.

I couldn't believe it was that long, so I've had to go back to my favourite Mexican to see if anything had changed.

And thinkfully, it hadn't.

I chose a busy Saturday night and turned up without a reservation. They were fully booked but managed to find a table for us anyway. (It's always best to book in advance here, especially on a weekend).

The Mexican Bean Soup was much nicer than I'd expected and the main course, chicken and cheese Enchiladas, rice and side salad was as delicious as I'd remembered it to be.

The only thing that slighlty let down this visit was the service. It wasn't bad service at all, but getting a waiters attention wasn't always easy when there's a full house (I counted 52 seated). I simply hate places that keep pestering you to see if you're ok or if you want another drink, but the opposite was evident here on Saturday night. Nobody did that - and I like a little bit of attention when my drinks running low and the spices are tickling my tongue!

Still a 5 star rating - it deserves it for the food alone, but fitting us in when there were no spaces is great service & good managent too.
