Cactus Cafe Description

Opened in 1990 Cactus has never looked back, and is now among the most sought after places in Loughborough for both townsfolk and students. There's plenty of music, spicy food and cool Mexican beer to quench the flames that follow and in summer the concertina doors open and its fiesta time for all.

Particularly impressive amongst the listed dishes is kick ass chilli, a pungent plateful indeed, or an 8 oz swordfish steak, char-grilled and topped with orange and basil butter with rice and a cactus salad on the side. If you're a roll-your-own man go for the classic fajitas, marinated and char-grilled sirloin steak, chicken or vegetables on a sizzling hot platter with peppers, cheese, onions, salsa, sour cream and guacamole, with rice and flour tortillas aplenty.

A good value fixed price menu may vie for attention and who'd not love a plate of Texas or Arizona chilli extinguishers, topped with melted cheese and sour cream. Please note that they do not accept bookings by e-mail.

RK Godridge (5 February 2008)

We ate here with a large group of over twenty people and the service was excellent. We all ate from the set £8 menu not the a la carte, but each course was served promptly and at the same time. Some of the party had specific food allergies and these were catered for very well. A restaurant that is high in character and low in cost. It is an ideal location for a quiet romantic dinner or a group outing.

The Cactus Cafe is ok...it's no Chiquito's, but for a small place it provides a decent meal. Personally, I thought it was slightly pricey for what you get - myself and my boyfriend went there and it came to £35 for 1 starter and 2 mains with a couple of beers. The food is nice without a doubt, and the service is quick and friendly.
