Description

Guests are primarily young professionals from the neighborhood, though some tourists from the nearby National Cathedral do come by. The interior is decked out with Tex-Mex artifacts like Indian headdresses, Stetson hats, and other antique clothes and weapons. In warm weather the more popular spot is the outdoor deck on Wisconsin Avenue.

Cactus Cantina applies a 10% service charge on take-out orders, and a 15% gratuity on groups of eight or more. Seperate checks are not available.

Loud, busy, kid-friendly
This is a big, boisterous restaurant that seems always to be doing a lot of business--but they do it well. There's a large selection on the menu, with a number of specials.
There is frequently a wait, but it isn't usually very long, and the in-house pagers allow you to hit the bathroom or the bar before you are seated.
Children are welcomed, and they will enjoy watching the gas-fired tortilla maker almost as much as they enjoy eating the fresh tortillas.    [22 Jan 2004 16:35:00]
