Reviews for Restaurant Méxicain El Cactus in Châteauguay, QC

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Montreal and south shore region. Service was fast and friendly, drinks were... refreshing and delicious, and everything we ate was irreprochable. There was a lineup of people prior to opening hours. Mightwant to plan ahead. Absolutely worth it. Read more

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. Read more

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

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

We went on a Friday evening, arriving a little bit before opening and there was already a group of people waiting. I'm not sure... if they take reservations for only 2 people or small groups, but I suggest you get there before opening on typically busy nightsif you don't have one, cause seats fill fast!! The decor is colorful, authentic and maximalist. I really love the tile workthroughout, and the restaurant is as much of a feast for the eyes as it is your mouth. It also has a fun, upbeat atmosphere andnice view of the water out of the back windows. The food was hot, flavorful and hearty and came quickly. We split the quesofundido and the bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp to start. Not pictured are the homemade tortillas they also gave us for the queso.The Chelada Papi I got to drink was refreshing and tangy. I had the Quesabirria as my main, and my partner got the Ensenada.Don't be deceived by the size of the quesabirria, it's dense and rich making it quite filling. We both left quite full, and itcame to a bit over 50$ per person including drink, tax and tip. I look forward to going back next time we have something tocelebrate! Read more

Really amazing Mexican food! We had a drink each. I had roasted vegetarian tacos and my husband had the enchiladas mixtas. We... both ate every single morsel of food. Followed by the most delicious très lèche cake. Beautiful terrace right next to theChateauguay river; the atmosphere is fun. Read more
