Fat cactus is always a good bet, you can’t go wrong with a moggyrita and the pulled pork tacos are my all time favourite!
Vibe is great, you can watch sportsball if that’s your thing, and the food and service are good.
Stopped here as part of the Burger Brews beer route. Had some Rosebank beer, and they had a special of free small nachos when you order a portion of chilli poppers.
These poppers were really good. Nicely stuffed and a really good batter. Nachos were great as well. Place has a really nice vibe and service was excellent.
Awesome vibe. Youthful, fun and fresh. Tangy Mexican flavors with a kick. Food is extremely filling. Place is quite loud and crowded though. Enjoyed the pulled pork quesadillas and the beef tacos.
Great vibe, usually Mexican is heavy in one of the four main elements but here their dishes are perfectly well balanced flavors of proteins, spices, cheeses and veg mix’s .
Fat Cactus has a really good vibe. There's indoor and outdoor seating, is great for groups, however, can get a bit loud. This is a perfect place to catch up with friends - they have a pretty good happy hour. The food is really good. I ordered the Chicken Fajita and it was delicious. My party ordered various items and everything looked delicious and fresh. The service is really good, we were quickly seated and one of the best there !!!
One word, nachos... These are some of my favorite nachos and the pitcher of margaritas doesn’t hurt. A great little spot on Park street in Gardens, nice vibe in the area and good food and drinks here.
What a lovely lovely place. We are visiting SA from India, have been to Fat Cactus twice already. Just love the vibe here. The menu and the food is lip smacking and clearly says that it is made with love and that they care.
Also, the service is amazing i especially liked the cool guy with glasses, he made our visit very pleasant and that dragged us there again.
Highly recommended!!
One of the best nachos in Cape Town!!!! The service was quick and friendly! Really awesome vibe and cosy from the cold and wet outside. Will definitely be back!*
Love Fat Cactus! Great place, great vibe. Food is good and the staff are very friendly. Their Gingerbread tequila is amazing! And they now have Gin and Tonic slushies. Only improvement... the frozen margarita jars... its too sweet, not the best.
Went with a group of about 20 people. Such a great young vibe, especially since the World Cup was on.
Food was delicious, packed with flavour and portions were filling.
Having a bar contributes to a nice place for pre-drinks before hitting town.
Definitely will visit again.
10/10 on all aspects.
This is hands down the only place I’d go for tacos and nachos, there’s sooo much flavour in these dishes and its extremely affordable too if you’re getting both items and sharing with a friend.
Defnitley more for a much younger generation than me.
Very noisy and very busy.
Lager mafe very intresting with ice on top.
Fibrant atmosphere.
Very limited parking outside be here early.
It's a quite nice place for hearty food and drinks.
A cool idea is their combination of beer and Margarita. The food we ordered was good but far away from genuine Mexican food... doesn't seem to be the objective here.
Service was good bur not high above average (parts of our order were forgotten).
Really nice place but not spectacular.
Always such a good time at Fat cactus. The frozen margarita Jugs are just the best. Food is ridiculously good (The chicken Burrito is my fave) and the service is always super fast and friendly.
Been going here for years. Amazing food and drinks. Current favourites are the fish tacos, gingerbread tequila, castle lite ice berg, and the mangorita! Great vibes and service, so much fun to go with friends. Always love the experience!
Great restaurant with colourful interior, friendly staff, and fabulous food, and we had a lovely jug of Strawberry Margarita...
First time visit. Great menu, reasonable pricing and super delish real deal Mexican food. Enjoyed every bite, full of fresh flavours. We were there at lunch time but I reckon there is a great evening vibe, happy hour and all! Slightly confusing American cowboy decor but hey, if the food is good, it's good!
Great food and atmosphere.
The mojito just had too much crushed ice, especially at R75 it should be more drink, less ice.
The food is excellent and the frozen margarita jugs are THE BEST. It's also always full and vibey, even on a Monday night. Best to always book ahead for supper time. The drinks special before 6 is also fantastic.
It was my first time there, although it was fully booked we got a 2 seater table. The vibe is so fun!! I had the cow boy nachos & it was bomb af!! And had a margarita, the prices were soooo good, paid R43 for a margarita in happy hour. The waitress was also soo friendly!
