The Cactus Mexican - Waterloo

Fantastic, authentic Mexican food. Home cooked with love, and fresh ingredients. Nothing fancy, but you won’t be disappointed. The family ownership, and kind service tops off a great experience.

Looks like a family run restaurant…but the food is definitely recommended. They serve with love and very close to actual street Mexican food. They revised the prices recently so expect 25-30$ per person bills. I loved their enchiladas and they rarely serve the onion hot sauce which is amazing

Hands down best Mexican food around! Just like Mexico....guacamole was best I've ever had! Definitely a hidden gem we will be new regulars for sure also friendly comedic staff

Went for lunch a couple of weeks ago we were there at 12 no one there they wandered in about 5 minutes later So when we ordered our food, it was obvious that nothing was cooked fresh and beef was dry and overcooked tasted like it had been sitting for days in the refrigerator. Have always loved this place but feel like they have given up on quality and service Probably wont go back

Really nice Mexican restaurant in Waterloo! Visited around October and had a lovely meal!
