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

Amazing Quesadillas

by MRS19129 at Citysearch

I thoroughly enjoyed this place when I was visiting Boston a couple weeks ago & sat on the patio for a late lunch. They're quesadilla menu is really extensive & you can make some strange options. I had avocados & black beans. SO good. I've tried already at home to recreate it! I recommend eating here.

  • Pros: Food, Bar selection, Outdoor seating
2 Star Rating: Below Average

Not so great

by CSMobileUser3 at Citysearch

This place is overrated. Classic margs are good but the specialties miss the mark. Border cafes chips are much better. The coconut shrimp has no flavor and the servie so so. Unless you have downtown shopping stick to border cafe.

great, casual, fast

by SMcNally at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: fast service, "fast food"
  • Cons: speak up so wait staff hears your requests, salty margaritas

MMM...mmm...Salt Licking Good!

by SparkySpark at Citysearch

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!

  • Pros: Best Margaritas Around
  • Cons: Best Margaritas Around....You drink more than you'd like

Great Margaritas & Generous Portions with reasonable prices

by malcamsam at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: Fresh Sour Mix & large variety of Tequilas + Value for the Money + Service
  • Cons: Parking - goes without saying for anywhere in Back Bay

A+ MARGARITAS

by jwcarp at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: Margaritas
  • Cons: Crowded Evenings

Great Food & Great Drinks

by MichaelBrines at Citysearch

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!

  • Pros: Great Crowd!
  • Cons: Parking Stinks
