cactus flower cafe navarre

great food,greatstaff! you will not be disappointed. actually, you may be disappointed about how much you will eat.

fish tacos!! ...and their specials are awesome too.greatservice and an awesome menu.

i liked the nice atmosphere. the complementary chips were good and i liked the queso dip despite the high cost. as for the meals, the shredded tacos were good(had a lot of lettuce though), the pinto beans were excellent and the rice was okay. the prices range from good to a bit much, but they are generally reasonable.greatservice and i recommend it.

outstanding meal - authentic mexican cuisine andgreatservice. we will be back !!!

fresh and delicious. fresh ingredients,greatservice, a nice clean atmosphere, and reasonable prices make the cactus flower cafe in navarre a winner. i had the beef chimichanga and my wife had the fish tacos. both dishes were excellent, with tasty sides, served promptly and with a nice presentation. our server was very knowledgable of the menu, pleasant and helpful. the chips and salsa flowed freely, with the chips being light and crisp, and the salsa perfectly made, with the right balance of spices. top it off with a cold beer, and you have the perfect meal. local or tourist, make a point of stopping in at the cactus flower, you'll be glad you did.

the best restaurant in navarre by far!. it is quite the understatement to say cactus flower is my favorite restaurant! i have never been disappointed! anyone who says otherwise is obviously too picky and uninformed of how to order properly.
the relaxing atmosphere always calms my hunger pangs and soothes my stomach after becoming too full! the service is nearly almost perfect, complete with smiles, laughs, and excellent dress code. i feel like my server truly enjoys serving me and strives to make my dinner as wonderful as possible. (and it always works!) they definitely deserve the taste of navarre awards they have received!

as someone who has worked in a restaurant before, i understand the highs and lows of a busy evening. the greatest thing about cactus flower is that even under pressure, when all of the tables are full, i was never disappointed with my service. even if a slight stumble was made, it was certainly made up for by the end of my meal.

anothergreatplus is the prices! my boyfriend and i have never spent more than $30-$35 for a meal well worth the money! we always come back excited to try something to new!

my favorite is the quesadilla! the only complaint is that i always get too full to finish my food, so i unfortunately have to skip out on dessert. however, the large portions are perfectly fine because the food makesgreatleftovers!

p.s. congrats on the upcoming pensacola beach location! it's going to do fantastically out there!

reminds me of socal. i spent some of the best years of my life on the west coast and have eaten at a ton of calmex restaurants. this place is on par with some of the best. the food is light and not over-spiced. i left full and satisfied. the service wasgreatbut not over the top. i will be back.

hit or miss, mostly hit!. with not many places to findgreatfood in navarre, there is a need for cactus flower. i have been several times as i live in seagrove and pensacola, so i pass thru navarre often. tho i really prefer the pensacola location, i have hadgreatfood at the navarre location too. the tacos & salads are good, and quesadilla is the best. avoid the chili soup. the wait is long, but the wait staff are kind, making sure you pass the time with a lot of chip and salsa refills.

quaint little mexican restaurant withgreatfood. my only complaint, albeit a big one, is that they unapologeticly serve grocery store tortilla chips.

the mango shrimp appetizer will make you divorce your spouse and run away with it. get them.

best restuarant in navarre. cactus flower brings delightfully fresh flavors to a cuisine that is known for it's heavy cheeses and oil use. not the case here. it's "california style" mexican is something to cherish indeed. the food is always delicious. i have eaten every single item off the menu and have never been disappointed. first timers should try the queso bites, chicken tortilla soup (best i've ever had) and the chicken salad w/southwest ranch. their rice also gets a shout out because it is top notch.

they use mostly olive oil and canola oils for their dishes and i can appreciate them trying to be a healthier place to eat.

one of my favorite things about mexican restuarants is that when you sit down you are given immediate gratification in the form of tortilla chips and salsa, cactus flower does not disappoint in this regard and their salsa in particular is amazing. i've noticed that they have toned the heat down a little recently which is definitely a smart move for all those out there who don't prefer spice (my wife included).

the service is alwaysgreatand i've never been caught looking at my watch wondering when the food will get to the table. the atomsphere is very calm and relaxing.

cactus flower is original and the only restuarant of its caliber in navarre, if you are visiting it is a prerequisite before leaving the area.

awesome food! this is agreatplace to get quality mexican food and an outstanding glass of sangria! the dinning room was a little small but aside from that you'll enjoy!

my husband and i frequent this restaurant often! we love the fresh guacamole and love their salsa. one of my favorite menu items is the chicken tortilla soup. agreatrestaurant addition to navarre.

great food not suchgreatservice. the food was amazing. everything was fresh and delicious. the service was awful both times we have gone we got the same waiter and he was awful, never refilled our drinks and took forever getting them. our check took 15minutes to get after we asked for it. hoping next time for a waiter that knows what they are doing.
