    My family came here for Mother's Day. I'd made reservations and told them why. When we showed up they had decorated our table with flowers and a special Mother's day sign. The service the whole time was amazing. So warm. We are originally from California U.S., so picky about Mexican food. We weren't disappointed. Their fajitas and nachos were tasty. We will be back sure!

    Lovely food ๐Ÿคฉ. Starters were so yummy and our main course dishes went above the rating of starters. Amazing Mexican dishes. Restaurant staff Karyna and Dil were very helpful and they always checked on us if we needed anything I would highly recommend this place

    Visited this place in Dubai with some good ratings but found quite a few people at the restaurant. The staff was nice and sonwas the menu which was more meat oriented. We still found some options for veg and landed with just a appetizer and a main course for each of us. Great quality food and the right amount of spice and flavour. Requested less rice and more veggies in the Jambalaya and totally loved it. Nachos with spicy cheese dips was perfect but a bit too much of cheese sauce for a plate of nachos. Over all the place lights up with live music and dj from 9pm onwards so if you love some good mexican food, tequilas and music, this is the place in Dubai

    Fantastic restaurant with outdoor and indoor seating areas. Live band in the evening. Their chicken fajitas is a must-try. Great venue to socialise. Friendly staff. Ample parking. Do book your table in advance.

    Had a great time at the Friday brunch ! It had live cooking, so huge A spread that it was difficult to try all ... live music, awesome outdoor vibe so since the weather is so good and premium drinks with amazing sheesha flavours... the cuisine is Latin Mexican my fav being the guacamole , platters which are so good for sharing ! Definitely recommend it for brunches , dinners , lunches , parties and events too !

    After searching Dubai for AUTHENTIC MEXICAN food my search came to an end today at Cactus Jack! I worked in Mexico for about 10 years and really loved the food. So I can say I know Mexican cuisine. Catch Jack did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken Enchiladas. I think this is a really challenge for Mexican restaurants in Dubai. But not Cactus Jack. It was flavorful and presented as if I was in Guadalajara. The refried beans and rice that came with the Enchiladas were perfectly seasoned, too. My guest ordered the fajitas with chicken, shrimp and steak and was very pleased with it too. The service was good. We didn't wait for anything. Good value. It cost less money for better tasting Mexican food! I'm surprised the restaurant is not packed with guest because this is a gem and I'll be back for more. VIVA LA MEXICO!!! ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

    Cactus Jacks is one of the older Mexican establishments in Dubai, and the current state of the place shows it. The place was not as busy as it used to be on a Friday night when we visited. The service team were very nice, although it was quite confusing when we ordered something they would mention that it was chargeable?? The food menu is convoluted and difficult to read, with a watermark of the restaurant taking the majority of the menu space. A revamp of the menu and an easier to read menu would greatly help the place get to how it once was. Get some fresh energy back to the place.

    Mexican Food is tasty, lights inside is weird and itโ€™s really old inside, like less taken care. Prices are expensive. Couldnโ€™t have tried outside as it was hot.

    The restaurant is located within the millennium airport hotel and is a Mexican-styled restaurant that is large with an outdoor terrace. I visited at a quiet time in the afternoon and it was empty and very quiet at first I thought the place was closed, there was only one worker who seemed to be the manager who was well-intentioned but not used to waiting tables. The food was acceptable le the chips and salsa were good while the fried peppers were commercial quality, the steak tacos were very good, and the salsa and rice was a satisfying dish. Prices are slightly higher than expected. I think it's worth giving it another try in the evening to test the atmosphere.

    The oldest and one of the best Mexican restaurants in Dubai. The food and the service was top notch. We ordered the fajitas (chicken and I asked specially for the fish (not on menu)), beef burrito (asked them to put sliced beef instead of the pulled beef), chicken quesadilla and prawns. Excellent food and the staff was very helpful!

    I like the ambience of this place especially the outdoor seating is nice during winter season. The food is pretty decent and tasty too. They got some nice rates for happy hours. I recommend that sometimes they should host some promotions to attract more customers but all in all its a nice place to chill with your friends. They also go shisha by the way which is cool.

    Been coming here since more than 10 years now... And I've never been disappointed. The food is great..slightly understaffed... But that's okay. The taste of the food makes up for it.

  • 4/5 Jitin J. 6 months ago on Google
    The ambience was very good. It was a quite summer afternoon and the chill inside the restaurant was matching the hot weather outside. We where suggested to have tortilla. But being an Indian I felt that it was served in a pani puri style๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ. Everything in different plates and we have to mix and eat based on the need. Actually I like this idea from them of not eating ready made and doing some work on the table to make our food๐Ÿ˜‹ Then we where served with the awesome drink made by the person of there which was a mixture of vodka and egg white. I will suggest to give it a must try

    Staff was amazing even though I felt lil rushed but food was worth waiting and portions was just enough. Only the test of Guacamole felt like just avocado with salt and a lots of elements are missing for example the onions, lime etc.., because the lime was served on the side. Gave it 4 stars because itโ€™s worth the experience, I would definitely give another go and I recommend it.

  • 5/5 Paul A. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent quality of food and drinks. Good ambience though the music was poorly selected. Good friendly and efficient service.

  • 3/5 Gajrias 2 years ago on Google
    Good ambience , however the tortilla flat bread, was very chewy and it was like a gum. When mentioned to their waitress their chef did not seem to bothered to speak about it or fix the issue. This was my first bad experience with them.

  • 3/5 Sitora S. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is very old, if you are looking for a glamorous place to eat and drink then I advise you not to go there. Expensive restaurant but food is delicious and waiters are nice but a little dirty and very old.

  • 5/5 Darya V. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing! For the starters they bring corn chips with dipping. The portions of the main course were huge, not too spicy just as I like! We had Chato de Pollo (comes with little bowl of rice on a side) and Vegetarian Fajita. For the Fajita they offered sides like rice, beans, guacamole etc, and it was tasty! Service was fast and overall they have a great team there. The atmosphere is good for casual meeting, music is not loud.

  • 5/5 Titta A. 1 year ago on Google
    The Margheritas are to die for... We loved it... The ambience is also nice... We went during the lunch time and the place was practically empty... Guess the crowd is more in the evenings... Food was amazing too... We had only a platter from the starters... The quantity was enough to fill 2 people...

  • 5/5 Joyce Ann O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 Adan N. 1 year ago on Google
    As a Mexican we are pleased to know that we have MEXICAN restaurants in Dubai. It is a great joy to know that we are going to eat well and that we are going to enjoy a beautiful and pleasant afternoon. What did not happen to me with this restaurant. This is the WORST "Mexican Restaurant" there is, and I say this because this is not Mexican. the flavors are nothing like what they really are in my country. These dishes with cheddar cheese, fries and nachos, if you know that in Mexico we don't consume nachos as if it were a festival?? The worst thing is that all the staff say they are Mexican and that their hotel has marked this restaurant scam as "MEXICAN" they use our culture and our gastronomy to make money (at least they did the Real Mexican food) but they do it wrong, Sali very upset about that place because many people who know me have recommended that place to me and it was the worst decision I've ever made. I do not recommend it, people who really know about Mexican food should not accept this as Mexican It is the worst disappointment. This is junk food. They should change the name of Mexican restaurant to Tex-Mex restaurant, that would be its appropriate category. If you want good Mexican food I invite you to try a restaurant in DIFC called COPALA RESTAURANT, (that restaurant is REAL MEXICAN CUISINE) approved 100% Stop occupying my culture and my gastronomy to do. business. and if you plan to do a minimum business, respect our customs and culture (which unlike TEX-MEX food, Mexico has a lot) so much so that we are recognized by UNESCO: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

    I am a regular guest in cactus jacks for long time and few years back the food was not tasty, today I had vegetable Fajita however, the taste was wow to perfection ๐Ÿ˜‹. I will come back again and again and I will definitely recommend to friends because of the delicious food. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜Š.

  • 4/5 Melissa G. 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was nice, their salmon ceviche was pretty decent. We also had the appetizer platter to share. The restaurant could use a lot of renovation as the last time Iโ€™ve been here was around 8 years ago and the tables and interior was exactly the same. a bit dark and sad. Outdoor seating is way better. Other than that everything else was pretty good :)
