GinaJuly 23, 2015Brought a party of 11 to the restaurant. They would not seat us together. They were not helpful at all and made rude comments that were over heard by our group. We went across the seat.
Michael RyanOctober 19, 2013The Lobster tacos are out of control. Nice environment and really good food. Finish strong with the Tres Leches. It's sick. Awesome service from Cora. She took care of us and super cool
Melissa LambMay 21, 2010Go to Iron Cactus and get the fish tacos. They're one of the best things I've ever eaten.
Try the meatloaf and avoid the half-moon booths. The seats are worn and make any person need a booster.
Jessica EngleMarch 21, 2015Didn't eat here because food looked just okay but had an amazing avocado margarita.
Hanoi VargasMay 8, 2016The food is ok but the service was horrible! I totally don't recommend this place. You can't accommodate more than 8 people on a table
See Norell, or Davidimoso and tip them very well. Great bartenders.
Don't understand how they roll their silverware. It seems complicated.
Franklin GNovember 2, 2013Don't set your expectations too high. The food was good but the service was slow and the margaritas not worth the wait
Derricka DialsDecember 1, 2013DO NOT go here for Brunch!! The food is hard, cold and lacks seasoning.
Dallas Food NerdMarch 2, 2013we split the Yucatan Fish Tacos so we'd have room for Tres Leches and both were OMG good!
Joseph VasquezApril 26, 2012Try the Lobster Tacos - @Iron_Cactus lobster tacos are just as good up in Dallas as in Austin. Consistency is key.
Fernando FloresMarch 1, 2012Go for the margaritas! Any place that uses processed cheese on lobster tacos should be scolded! And not tipped.

"$4 happy hour margaritas! Steak and shrimp tacos were delicious. Don't fall for the 3 taco plate for $12. All you get is rice and beans for an extra $4."
