Red Cactus is a great little place offering Mexican fare. We had a fantastic afternoon out on the patio with attentive service and delicious food. We split a pitcher of margaritas and our food came out hot and fast. The server stopped by now and then to see if we needed anything, but our table was set. Thank you for a great Saturday! More

First time we went. I had a chicken chimichanga and my husband had the enchiladas beef and chicken. Great food. We will definitely be back! We went during lunch. The waitress was super nice. The man at the front counter didn’t have much of a personality. He may have been having a bad day or didn’t feel well. More

I was recently there for a work lunch. We sat on the patio. The food was excellent. I tried the new Taco Salad Texano, and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and efficient. Patio seating was perfect, considering the gorgeous weather. I will definitely be back to try the new taquitos. More

Service was fantastic. We got seated, and had our food in less then 10 mins. We where in and out in about 24 mins. But not rushed at all: just super fast. Will definitely go again. Always a plus when they have corn tortillas too for those of us who have gluten issues. More

  • Adam Hill

A solid choice for Mexican. We have been going here for a while now. I have had several things off of their menu and haven't been disappointed once. The burritos are great, tacos, and much more. All ways have had speedy service and have never had a food issue. More

We just attempted to eat dinner at the Southport Road Red Cactus. My husband went to the restroom to wash his hands where he encountered an employee exiting the stall after using the restroom WHILE wearing his gloves. He came out and washed

First time coming here. I came during the early afternoon on a Saturday. There was hardly any patrons, so I had very fast and incredibly friendly service. I asked a staff member what he liked to eat and ordered that. I received an amazing

Most recent review: We've been here a couple times since the last post and I'm happy to report, they've redeemed themselves. Food has been much better, service has been excellent. Even the gentleman at the register seemed fairly pleasant

  • Linda Luster

Normally I would give 5 stars but the last two times we have gotten carry out the food has not been that great. Last night 1/22/2024 we ordered a chicken an rice dinner plus 2 fajita chimichanga dinners, the chicken was ok but the fajita

My co-worker told me he found this restaurant, so it was another 1st timer. This a very nice place on the inside, it's very environment friendly. As soon as we walked in, we were seated. They have plenty of seating on the inside, as well

  • Fai

You wouldn't expect there to be much seating but they really took advantage of the space because there's TONS of booths. It's a tad uncomfortable sitting in them because it almost feels like you're leaning forward but hey, if it gets me

  • Amanda Keller

The manager was extremely rude. We had a party of 19 and they would not seat us outside. They said it would be a 15 to 20 minute wait At 45 minutes we still see open tables enough to fit us outside and was told that they would not make

  • pseudo David

Trying Take-out for the first time. Also haven't ate here before so food rating will have to wait. Excellect quick service for take out so far. Food ready between 5-10 minutes and I'm out. Will update after the meal seeing as that is

  • Robin Evans

Love the Red Cactus! We stumbled across this place in Franklin. Wow! It is one of the best Mexican restaurants we’ve been to. Our waitress, Michelle Salgada was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back soon! More

  • Aimee Holsclaw

Excellent friendly service and all the food was so tasty. The only complaint we had we had was the guacamole didnt have pico in it. But we will go back and sit on the patio with my family again sometime soon.

We are in town for my aunts 94th birthday. It was cinco de Mayo and we knew it would be busy. We were able to pull tables together in the bar for 7 of us. Edith was a love. We thought enjoyed her!!! More

  • Nan Van

First time here. Very large quantity of food in my Enchilada order. There was initially an error in my husband's food order, but it was corrected. Waitress was helpful and refilled drinks as needed.

  • Brenda Lozier

I ordered steak fajitas from the parking lot and by the time I got inside and made a second order my food was ready for take out! It was extended good and the service was great! More

  • Charley Hammond

Been here a handful of times. Food was good but used to be way better. Service was lacking but not a place to avoid. Maybe I just had a bad last experience. More

  • Angela Pitaluga

I may be a harsh critic this being my first Mexican food place so far from the border, but this is "Mexican themed food" not authentic Mexican food.

  • Miranda Hoskins

Seems a bit pricey compared to some other Mexican restaurants. Was good. The amount of salsa they give you for to go orders is laughable though. More

  • Karyn Evans

Enchiladas Suizas! Oh my goodness, it is amazing! And the salsa is some of the best I’ve had since moving to Indiana. This Texas girl is happy! More
