THE PRICKLY CACTUS REVIEWS

A fabulous evening meal with lovely staff and delicious food. The menu has a few different items. I had Pollo - beautiful stuffed chook breast with avocado (the breast was so succulent with crispy skin on top). My wife had baked avocado with seafood on top-yummo!!!

Nice decor and ambiance. The meals we tried were perfectly good. One of the meals was described as being very hot and 'for the adventurous only'....it was very very spicy. Probably spicier then we would have liked...but we were warned! The dessert options were quite good, we enjoyed them all.

The food is really nice here. And I’m actually surprised by the portion size. We can’t hardly finish one main with two heads. And the pizza like bread is just amazing! Really nice and friendly staff here, 100% lgbtq friendly.

TIO RICO REVIEWS

What an absolute gem of a place. The service was amazing, friendly staff, made us feel very welcome. The food and drinks were honestly the best of that type we've had. Nachos and burrito were authentic and delicious, even the chilli hot chocolate was incredible (and I've had my fair share of hot chocolate!). They treated our daughter so kindly and the whole experience was second to none. Would highly highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Lovely atmosphere and the service was faultless. The food was so good. We tried the beef Nachos, a toasted chicken burrito, toasted minced beef burrito and the mango smoothie. So much food and too good I forgot to take a photo beforehand. This one's halfway through.

Amazing place. Great vibe! Took me back to the days I lived in Arizona! The gentleman with the glorious beard was warm and welcoming! Great service and even better was the food! Amazing natchos and burrito! Gonna take their coffee to go as well.
