El Señor Cactus Authentic Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Iowa City

This restaurant gave me diluted iowa Mexican food vibes. I would use the word "authentic" loosely. The menu was missing many Mexican favorites I've eaten at most restaurants. The queso is delicious! Although it's weird that they put queso on most of their chicken dishes. Also weird that some menu items some with rice not rice and beans. Pictured is the chicken fajitas and the garlic chicken. Overall food was really good but I could enjoy some of my Mexican favorites because the restaurant didn't even carry them which I found odd. Also chips didn't seem like traditional freshly made chips I've had they were thicker. Would maybe return, I've had better Mexican food in Iowa...

Went in today because we were feeling Mexican food. Board inside restaurant said “today’s special: tacos $1.25” so we each ordered 4 tacos. Ate and were happy dispite chicken tacos being drippy watery, steak tacos were good.

Go to check out and the tacos were 3.75 each. Brought this up to our server and three women came over and started arguing, that’s only the ground beef taco, blah blah blah. Board does not say ground beef taco, it says tacos. No distinction made. Instant hostility leads me to believe they have had this confusion happen before and refuse to change their board.

Beware bait and switch. Food was fine but not good. Definitely not worth dealing...

I got the carne azada tacos and they were tastey, it was just meat on a tortilla but it was still good, i got the chimichanga special, it was excellent, slapped some sour cream on it and was in love. The queso is fantastic it doesnt harden when it cools down, and the salsa is very unique they add some fajita seasoning to it and it was a cool experience. I overall enjoyed this choice, since my fav place left grub hub. This is my new place, i appreciate the excellent service. I do suggest to add some more veggies like zucchini to some dishes, and the creamy part. But Thankyou...
