The crowd at Cactus Pear’s original Jefferson Avenue location is
usually an eclectic mix of students, families and Gaslight District
regulars, and they all fill the large booths quickly. Mingle with the
jovial multitude amid the lively notes of Mexican music playing in the
background and local artwork hanging on the walls. After perusing the
menu as you snack on chips served with Cactus Pear's signature
house-made tomato roasted salsa, sample the specialty Tijuana quesadilla
stuffed with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, smoked
turkey, cheese and chipotle peppers. The menu offers a variety of
Americanized, south-of-the-border favorites, including grilled chicken
nacho salad, enchiladas and a variety of fajitas with an assortment of
meats.
"...
consistently good Tex-Mex cuisine and service, great outdoor dining
and some of the strongest margaritas and mojitos known to humankind."
