El Senor Cactus - Iowa City

Not only do they have the best margaritas in town, the food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff are friendly, professional and highly efficient! We are regulars!!!

Excellent, the gorditas yummy!!!! Everything is delicious, highly recommended!

Don’t see a photo of their yummy chimichanga posted on here so thought I’d share. So many yummy dishes to choose from. My guy ordered their garlic chicken and loved the taste. His only complaint was having to cut the chicken to put in their fresh tortilla wraps but still was worth it. Lunch for two with soft drinks totaled to a little over $29 without tip. A good sit down place for lunch if not too in a rush and just want to enjoy a freshly cooked meal.

This restaurant gave me diluted iowa Mexican food vibes. I would use the word 'authentic ' loosely. The menu was missing many Mexican favorites I 've eaten at most restaurants. The queso is delicious! Although it 's weird that they put queso on most of their chicken dishes. Also weird that some menu items some with rice not rice and beans. Pictured is the chicken fajitas and the garlic chicken. Overall food was really good but I could enjoy some of my Mexican favorites because the restaurant didn 't even carry them which I found odd. Also chips didn 't seem like traditional freshly made chips I 've had they were thicker. Would maybe return, I 've had better Mexican food in Iowa city for sure.

This is the best Cactus location! I had a crispy tortilla Supreme with steak tonight. It was amazing. Husband always gets steak and chicken with rice. Love it
