Lots of fun drink options and super friendly staff. It used to be Mulberry Cantina but the new upgrade has a much better aesthetic.

Spent $65 on a shared quesadilla for kids and 5 taquitos(hard as an rock) and margarita Nothing comes with sides so I ordered rice and beans as sides. They only gave us one side of it. Would not recommend. I will never go back again. The portions suck and it’s not worth the price for the food. I would rather have taco bueno or taco casa before I eat here again. This is a place you pay for the atmosphere not the food. 10/10 would no recommend. I never write reviews and this one really got me going enough to post this!!

Wild Cactus was…meh. Went on a Friday night and the vibe was nice, not loud or super busy. Food is…not good. Asada was chewy and the birria tacos were a disgrace. Don’t even get me started on the “chips” and queso. Food was definitely overpriced. Cocktails were good, not super strong, and had a nice taste. Waitress was lovely. I would only recommend going here for drinks or a date night.

I really wanted to lo e this place. Just based on the name of the establishment, one has certain expectations. As in all of Denton, parking is a problem. Had to drop my wife off at the door and find a place to park. Ended up a block away. Once stepping foot in the restaurant, I expected to be greeted at the front to be seated with my wife. I had to walk in as no one noticed me. I was finally directed to where my wife was already seated. She had been there for 10-15 minutes already and had not been greeted by a server or asked what she wanted to drink. We had to get the attention of another server to get someone to our table. Once he came, we asked for water and put in our drink order. The water was room temperature with no ice. From this point, things got a a bit better. Once we ordered and the food came, it was decent. The stars at this place are the numerous margaritas and bar drinks. I had numerous choices to take my wife out for her birthday, and I chose Wild 🌵 Cactus. I probably would not go again. I know they are still under kitchen construction, so I give them a bit of a pass. The food was good and plentiful. I would have liked more chicken alternatives as my spouse is not as prone to eat beef or brisket. The menus don't necessarily let one have chicken/beef opportunities. The presentation was just okay. The atmosphere and other patrons seemed to be upbeat, and the background music was pleasant. I think this would be a good spot. Once they get their act together, I think they might be a great place to dine and have fun.

The food and drinks were great, it seemed fairly priced and the atmosphere was nice. But the service left a lot to be desired. For starters, the hostess asked if our group of three wanted to sit at the bar. It’s kind of hard to talk as a group at a bar. So we asked how long it would be to wait for a table. She then told us there was a high top we could sit at. We said we’d like to sit there. Walking around the restaurant there were at least three other tables (but I know maybe they didn’t have staff for all of them…) As we got to the table, she asked if we were sure we couldn’t just sit at the bar. We said we’d prefer to sit at the high top. It seemed like she didn’t want us to sit there even though she offered it to us in the first place. Our waiter was nice but there were several times I started to think he forgot about us. We spent over 2 hours there and the majority of that was waiting 10+ mins for him to take our orders, 40+ to bring us salads, 15+ to bring us the bills after we asked, and 15+ to bring back our cards (these are just estimates, of course). I’d get if the hostess hesitated to sit us there because she knew they’d be less attentive. But she didn’t say anything like that and there was another group in that section. They forgot to give us a drink menu until after we ordered food. But the drinks did come out quickly. So kudos to the bar staff! Overall, I might try it one more time because I liked the food and drinks. But if the subpar service wasn’t just a one-time fluke, I don’t know that I’d return a third time.

My husband is Mexican and very very picky and loved this place. Everything is homemade, authentic and wonderful. the prices are very reasonable for the quality

For a normal dining experience, this place has great food and drinks. The atmosphere is amazing, which is why I wanted to host my rehearsal dinner here! But I won’t be hosting my rehearsal dinner here because after at least 7 attempts to try and book it, no one from the restaurant has gotten back with me to even tell me if the date was available or not. Poor communication/customer service is the biggest turn off for me.

We love Wild Cactus Cantina in Denton! The owners have done a fantastic job of renovating the place. The decor and furniture give it a relaxed but mid-century modern vibe with a touch of old Mexico. The margaritas are top notch and the flavors are infused in-house. The birria tacos are my favorite! This last time we had the Huarache Mexicano which was delicious! Highly recommend for a night on the downtown square!

Always enjoy a visit to wild cactus cantina. They did such a beautiful job with the decor here. Excellent margaritas and a lot to choose from. Small food menu but good. Enjoyed everything I’ve tried so far here. Great happy hour deals. They also own Milpa in town. Highly recommend! Came most recently for National taco day and they had some great specials! Love the bacon wrapped shrimp and the birria tacos.

Phenomenal drinks! Decent food! Excellent and airy atmosphere!

Great food in a cozy place. The staff was very nice. I personally would like to see more food options.

Wonderful environment-- big windows, lots of space. The bartender is super creative and engaging -- so many fun margaritas and a good happy hour!

Great, cozy feel. Food is amazing. Drinks were over the top. Happy hour even on Saturday!

Checked this place out Saturday for Happy Hour from 4-6pm, their Happy Hour are Monday-Sat., 4-6pm. I noticed the place was “seat yourself” during Happy Hour before 6pm, after 6pm, it seemed to have switched to “wait to be seated”. If you’re planning on checking it out after 6pm, make reservations for sure it did start to get busier promptly after 6pm. The plates are smaller and shareable here and the place is very scenic, lots of great ambience for you take a few pics for your IG! The place is similar to a Tapas Bar to me, great selection of food and drinks. The only negative I had leaving was paying for the chips and salsa, however, you get three different salsas and tostadas as your chips. It is way better tasting than just the regular house red salsa at a typical Tex-Mex place.

Fyi- The hours are wrong they close at 10pm and not midnight. The ambiance and aesthetics are amazing! The drinks were sooo good and strong and the food came out fast and was really good. I will be back for sure.

Although the second waitress and the hostess were great, the first waitress did not put in our drink order. My husband found a hair in his food. Once I alerted the second waitress to this, she had the manager comp us which was kind.

I left HUNGRY! Birria tacos were very tiny and very expensive. Quesadillas were ok, but very expensive. The smallest margarita I have ever seen was $10. 2 people total was $40, plus another $6 to stop at Jack in the box to fill up right after leaving. It looks like the food is prepared in a taco truck parked right outside. What is that all about!?! As for the service. Waitress was repulsive. Bad attitude. She arrived with hideously, long, fake nails. One can only wonder how many boogars were stuck under those, and an arm full of tattoos. Clearly, she is starving for attention, but not for her customers. If you have something to say, SPEAK UP! No need to make a billboard of your body. I do not want to be served by a woman that looks like a drunken sailor. Don't get me started on those idiotically , long eyelashes. Can't help but laugh. She proceeded to grope the top of our water bottle with those nasty fingers when she slammed it on the table. This place is aesthetically pleasing, seats are uncomfortable, probably to get rid of you, but the food and drinks are not worth half of what we paid. This place is a woke joke! First Mexican place I have been to that does not offer you chips and salsa.

Very nice place. The birria tacos were really good! They also have a very spicy sauce for the chips, really good. Loved the atmosphere and food. I do wish they start serving ciders since I can't have beer but certainly will return.

Wow! VERY IMPRESSED All of our food was delicious and the service was great. Guacamole at the table was HUGE and the brisket empanadas had quest to dip in!!! Will be back all the time. Also the atmosphere and live plants everywhere were beautiful.

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere! This immediately became one of my new favorite places in Denton.

The drinks were great and the food was good. Service...was definitely off. It didn't seem like we had a server assigned to our table and we'd go 20-30 minutes without someone stopping to ask if we needed anything. We had to flag someone down to order our second round of drinks, flag them to order apps and flag them to order tapas. So, 5 stars for the drinks, 4 stars for the food and 2 star for the service.

Our waitress was so kind, sweet and concerned about how long it took us to get our drinks. It wasn't even her fault, but she was very thoughtful about the situation. Food was good, drinks great and my wife and I had a very pleasant time.

I went to the Wild Cactus Cantina on national Margarita Day. It was fairly busy and we had made a reservation. Took longer to get my drink than seemed reasonable (20+ minutes). Drinks were okay, they’ve got a large selection. Got an appetizer and ended up going elsewhere for our meal. Maybe consider going here just for the cocktails.

Small plates are my jam, which is why I love tapas restaurants and super excited about this tex-mex inspired tapas restaurant + margarita bar. If you remember Mulberry Street Cantina, prepare to be blown away at this stunning transformation. It has an industrial Bohemian vibe with a touch of midcentury. Exposed brick, talavera style tiles, mood lighting, sophisticated furniture, and covered top to bottom with live greenery brought to you by True Leaf Studio. The table lamps are touch activated so you can dim or brighten up your space with a simple tap. There’s plenty of Insta photo opps, trendy seating spots for couples and large groups alike, and a large wrap around bar top with quick access to getting your rita on! What we ordered: ✨Taquitos - a nice crunch with pulled chicken and salsa verde. ✨Quesadillas - you can’t go wrong with dillas. ✨Bacon wrapped shrimp - this was a big hit for the table. ✨Queso with steak tips - good flavor! ✨Chips & Salsa Board - make sure you have plenty of water because it’s gotta nice kick! ✨ Churro Cheesecake - delish. ✨ True Leaf margarita - a super refreshing cucumber rita was perfect to ease my tongue on fire. ✨Four Berry margarita - a beautiful and colorful rita, but a tad too sweet for me to drink more than one. ✨Ocean Water margarita - delicious and refreshing, comes in a cool black tiki cup! ✨Taco Tuesday $1.50 tacos - the birria are the best! I can’t wait to see what this places does to this dark side of the square and I’m already waiting to go back.
