Cactus

Cactus has been innovating the Seattle food scene since 1990, when they opened Seattle’s very first tapas bar in a small Madison Park restaurant. Since then, the menu has expanded to bring a variety of Southwestern, Spanish, and Mexican dishes to The Emerald City. And did we mention original, hand-crafted cocktails for added fun? How can anyone say no? The menu at Cactus is pretty eclectic, sporting a delectable range of appetizers, entrees, and more guests are bound to love. Sample some gourmet takes on the enchilada with fillings like seafood, chile-braised brisket, and butternut squash. Everyone loves a good taco bar, but the tacos extend well beyond choices like chicken with options like braised brisket and ahi tuna. Feeling healthy? The salads here are anything but boring as they’re chock full of hearty ingredients like smoked chicken, bacon, and cinnamon-toasted quinoa. And for dessert? Try a brownie spiced with cajeta, a delectable slow-cooked Mexican caramel sauce. If you’re in need of a fun, classy vendor, book with Cactus. Guests won’t get bored with this eclectic menu so no palate will go unpleased. MUST TRY
