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

Start of finish- it's all good. Great homemade guacamole and salsa...Good vegetarian selections, and the fried ice cream is a great way to top it off.

Great Drinks!!!. I went to the Cactus Club last night for the first time and had a great time. The bartenders were cute and friendly and the drink selection was awesome. I recommend one of the huge bowl drinks. I will definitely go again after work.

Great food and a great atmosphere. I've been in boston for a few years now and I recently found this place. I was impressed with their friendly service, great food, and nice atmosphere. I make it a habit to head there after work on a weekly basis.

Great place to catch up with a friend... I love this place. It has a casual atmosphere, which is refereshing. We were going to check out Vox Populi but the attitude that emmanated from that place kept us away. We headed right to the Cactus Club and shared a yummy cactus bowl. A HUGE drink in a mammoth sized glass with 4 straws for $14.

Not your mother's snowcone. Try the snowcone margarita...3 flavors in one. The food is great, the atmosphere is awesome. They've got beer, 'ritas, scorpion-bowl-esque drinks...outdoor dining...great place!

Ouch!. Wacth out for the really great magaritas. This is a really nice college crowd bar. It gets extremely crowded. This is not a fany bar by any means. It has a Texas bar feel too it. It is nicely decorated to set the margarita mood.

Big Bowls!. If you haven't been to the Cactus Club yet, then you are really missing out. Yes...it is crowded. But it is very easy to overlook that when you have such a tasteful drink in your hands. They serve these extra large margarita's in fish bowl looking glasses. Try the blue margarita...you won't be disappointed. As for the food, try the fajitas, or the mix and match quesadillas. A great place to celebrate an event.
