Fiery Mexican grub and an even hotter bar scene heat up the Back Bay's answer to Southwestern chic.

great, casual, fast. went 2 times i a row. 1st time everything was perfect minus the waitress not hearing my request to take my food home- $7 down the drain. however- she was a good waitress non the less. the next night that gal heard me and i later enjoyed my left overs.

its casual, its fast and its yummy.

MMM...mmm...Salt Licking Good!. Cactus Club is one of my favorita casual bars/restaurants in the area. The service is always friendly, food is great comfort food when you need it, and the infamous margaritas are delish. I hated margaritas untill Cactus Club showed me what an actual margarita IS! They have a great patio on Boylston Street (good for people watching) and the value for your money is very acceptable for Back Bay area.

Promise me if you haven't tried Cactus Club you will? Your missing out if you don't go!

Great Margaritas & Generous Portions with reasonable prices. I was very surprised on my visit to Cactus Club. The Staff was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about their tequilas. After a mini-tequila lesson from my bartender I opted to try their "Horni Margarita" and it was delicious! The sour mix was very fresh, a nice refreshment from others I had that taste way to sweet and artificial. The food was hot and comforting. For Boylston street Boston area you will not find prices/value that can compete. I was a first-time Cactus-go-er and will most definitely return again.

A+ MARGARITAS. Best damn food & margaritas!

Cactus Club knows how to do it right - from the great drink menu with delicious concoctions to the friendly and good looking staff you always leave here with a smile on your face. They play great music (even on the weekends) that appeals to all generations. They also have a HUGE buffalo over their bar that believe it or not, smoke comes out of his nose!!! You should go if you haven't been here yet. Highly Reccomended.

Great Food & Great Drinks. Expect a wait on the weekends especially! BUT Every time I've been there there are always great looking women from the customers to the employees - so chat up a girl while your waiting for your table and enjoy a margarita from their over agerage and unique maregarita menu. The food is above average & when you put it all together along with very reasonable prices for Back Bay...I grage it an A!

nice decor; average food. long wait (i don't understand. why?!?), ok food, thematic (tex-mex) decors that most restaurants don't care to spend the efforts these days. so i give them that much credit.

did i have a margarita? if i had it wasn't (good or bad) enough to be remembered.

Impressed!. I moved to Boston from Arizona last winter and I've been looking for a place with really good Mexican food. Last week some of my friends took me to dinner at the Cactus Club and I loved it! The food was excellent, not bland like a few other places I've tried, and the margaritas were great! I was really impressed with our waitress too; she was very friendly and attentive. I'm glad I found this place!

Great Time at Cactus Club. I've been to Cactus Club a bunch of times and have never been disappointed. Their margaritas are the best in Boston by far. The bar is always a fun place to hang out - good looking crowd. The staff is friendly and the service is quick (they keep my margarita glass full). I go after work a lot for half price food in the bar. Keep it up Cactus Club.
