This restaurant is so accessible. Just right in the corner near by the comedy show building. It was too loud music from the neighbour so nearly can't hear music from this restaurant. One thing that wasn't cool. Meanwhile we still able to see night life outside of the windows. So colour full. We ordered southwest Paella 🥘 was so delicious. I loved it. Husband ordered brisket enchiladas which he loved it too. This restaurant is so perfect for Mexican food lovers. Server was so helpful. This place is so perfect for Mexican lovers

Disappointing Experience at The Iron Cactus Dear The Iron Cactus Team, I wanted to share some feedback about my recent visit to The Iron Cactus in Austin. My family and I were excited to dine there, but unfortunately, our experience was less than satisfactory. We ordered a quesadilla for our child, and unfortunately, we found hair in the dish. Later, my wife discovered a long strand of hair in her fajitas as well. While we appreciate that the manager removed those items from our bill, the overall experience was still quite disappointing. To add to our frustration, when we didn’t leave a tip as waiter forgot to bring us cutlery and water, the waiter expressed dissatisfaction with arrogant attitude “we work for $2 an hour! In America we tip” - so at the end I had to apologize , which felt insensitive given the circumstances and the overall disappointment we faced. We understand the importance of tipping, but we also believe that service quality and hygiene standards are paramount. We hope this feedback helps you improve the dining experience for future guests. We truly wanted to enjoy our meal and support your restaurant, and we hope you can address these concerns effectively. Thank you for taking the time to consider our experience. Sincerely, Galin Zhe

Awesome place to check out if you’re in the downtown Austin area. I had the Baja fish tacos and my husband had the Travis burger. The drinks were also delicious and refreshing, I had their Paloma. I would come back again.

We made reservations up on the outdoor balcony. It was fun to watch the people down on the street. Have a few drinks and dinner. I had the tuna steak sandwich which was a odd choice for a Mexican place but it was delicious. The skinny margarita was really good as well as the guacamole.

Stopped off for an early lunch with my husband and was greeted and warmly served by Sarah! She was attentive to everything throughout without feeling overbearing or rushing us as other places have. The food was amazing, fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was great and welcoming. I got the Iron Steak and each bite was better than the last. Hands down the best steak I’ve had in Austin and cooked to a perfect medium rare as asked. I know the night life here is always on point but if you need a good lunch with amazing food and great service I strongly encourage you to check out Iron Cactus!
