Reviews for Cactus Pear in Cincinnati, OH
Decent tex-mex place. The location is within walking distance of the Cincinnati zoo; we ate here for lunch when we went to the... zoo. The flavor on the cheese fajita was bland, my partner's blue corn fajitas definitely turned out better. The speed of theservice was quite impressive. Read more
Was hoping this place would be better than it was after driving by it for years and finally going here for dinner! The menu had... a wide range of items that didn't really seem fitting for a restaurant that I assumed was Mexican based on decor, name, etc.Prices were high on all the items for what they were - margaritas, quesadilla, nachos are the things we ordered. The waitresswas really nice. I ordered nachos that were definitely microwaved in the back to warm up, and an overpriced tiny margarita. Wishthis place the best of luck and success! Read more
Was hoping to be more impressed, but everything was just ok. First off the whole place kinda smelled like a bathroom. Like they... are having sewage issues. We was the only table in there and the waitress never came back after we got our food. We ordered 2 ofthe 'perfect margaritas', they was anything but perfect. They were watered down. Tasted like lime and salt. Waitress was niceand got us different drinks but not before she explained how they were made and in a nice way made it seem like it was ourissue. But I've tried many margaritas and these were some of the worst. The food was good. But nothing special. Read more
Please don't waste your time, money, and appetite. It was my 1st visit today and I wish I had read the reviews prior of deciding... to eat here. The only positive part was the server did everything as she was supposed to and I'm appreciative for that, howeverthe food, ingredients, temperature, and pricing on what I had received was sad. I ordered the fried pork belly tacos and amargarita on the rocks with regular Jose Cuervo not an expensive tequila choice by any means ($9.49 for that margarita,yikes!). Tacos came with rice which was the only time in my life I've had cold rice and little to none flavor. The chorizo onthe tacos was terrible and the consistency of canned cat food mushiness and weird weird taste. Makes me sad to have to writethis review. My advice start complete over and find an authentic flavor and quality ingredients. Read more
My absolute favorite margaritas out of any Mexican restaurant I've been to. The bartender Tracy is almost always working and... shes SUPER nice and helpful! Ive been coming here for years, and my two favorite things are the chicken nacho salad, and theirfrozen prickly pear margarita Read more
My fiance and I had a really great time here. I used to work here way back in 2001... Can't believe this place is still open!!... People still drive from far (like I did today) just for the chips and salsa, which I highly recommend (of course, now theycharge for it, but it's worth the $2.50)... I also covered a new reason to make the drive: crab cake sliders!! Oh my. Thesethings are AMAZING!!! You must try these two things, if you try nothing else! I've never had something so perfect. Wow!!! Andthe total cost for everything? Super reasonable! We will be back again from Indy soon!! Read more
They food was good. We went because we wanted Mexican with outdoor seating. We called first and was told they were full. We... decided to go and hang at the bar until a seat open but when we went the restaurant was almost empty so we had no problemgetting a seat on the patio. The patio was walled on all 4 sides and decorated. Services was slow. No refills or drinksoffered after the first one. Food was good but soso service. Read more
Food was great, nothing too fancy but very competent. We always get the frozen mango margaritas when we come here, and they've... never disappointed. Read more
