iron cactus

we love the cactus. themexicancornbread is da bomb!

awesome!. my family and i eat here atleast twice a week if not more! staff is awesome and food is the bestmexicangood in town! defentaily recommend!

iron cactus is by far my favoritemexicanrestaurant! i absolutely love their chips/salsa, salad with salsa ranch dressing,mexicancornbread, steak, and burgers. i'm sure the other menu items are just as good. they almost always have a 30-60 min wait on any night, but it is worth the wait!!! we make frequent trips to calhoun just to eat here.

i love iron cactus! it is the bestmexicanfood i have ever had. i would recommend the lunch fajitas. the are amazing. but just to add. i would hurry home to go to the bathroom!! luv it.

i've eaten at a multitude ofmexicanrestaurants, and very few compare to the quality of iron cactus. tonight i had some queso with my chips and themexicancornbread, which i would recommend to anyone. it was delicious, and to top everything off, the service was really great too. 9/10.

worstmexicanfood ever. we had heard several people say this was the bestmexicanyou could eat. was we in for a surprise! first off, the waitresses walked around in blue jean shorts and flip flops. so unprofessional! the chips seemed like they were right out of a bag of generic brand. the salsa was bland and garlicky. we ordered the enchilada plate. the rice seemed like it was mahatma ready made and the beef inside the enchilada was seasoned with taco mix. we asked for cheese over the enchiladas and what we got was thickened cheese over everything on our plate. the plates were so hot that you could tell they just came out of the microwave. for you people who think you are getting the bestmexicanfood you ever had, then you must have never had realmexicanfood before and don't know what you are missing. by the way, we hope you make it home in time to get to the bathroom. first and last time going there!

iron cactus is the bestmexicanin this area. everything is fresh, tastes great, and you will never leave hungry. themexicancornbread, fajitas, and puffy tacos are my favs. great salsa and chips too. all those make it worth the drive for most people. it's popularity makes you want to go early or late for a meal because its small and you will be waiting for a table! despite that, it's worth it!!!!

ok for tex-mex. my family lives in west monroe and we drive all the way to rayville to eat at themexicanrestaurant there because it is actually authentic. we can't wait for san miguel to open in calhoun so that we can enjoy the awesome food closer to home; try it instead!!!

love the cheese enchiladas. chips and salsa are very good.great service here.

2 for 2! that's a good thing!. my husband declared this has got to be his favorite place to eat out. we wanted to make sure it wasn't a "fluke" the first time we went to eat there, and they were just great 2nd time around.

well worth the drive!. i had the fish taco's with a sauce that was awesome. my husband loved the enchilada's. i normally can't eat salsa, but knew i could theirs because i bought a jar of it at the taste of the twin cities event. it was as tasty as i remembered. very homemade, fresh and delish! service was outstanding. owned, operated and prepared by local married couple who are american. we found our newmexicaneatery.

we love this place! just had a taco lunch today with rice and beans. the staff is so prompt and courteous. great food! way to go... now for a nap.
