Cactus Club 69 reviews (617) 236-0200 939 Boylston St Boston, MA 02115 www.bestmargaritas.com Write a Review Edit Business \| Upload Photo \| E-mail to Friend	Editorial Description by Citysearch The Scene Southwestern kitsch prevails at this popular hangout: Horns hang on adobe-painted walls and a giant stuffed buffalo (nicknamed Iron Mike Bison) proudly watches over the bar. A religious following of margarita fans congregates in the bar, a premier after-work pickup spot, though lofty ceilings often make conversation difficult. Service is dependable during non-busy spells. Come summer, the sidewalk patio proves exceptionally popular (in other words, expect to wait). Holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Marathon Monday bring large, boisterous crowds and long lines to get in. The Food The solid Tex-Mex menu features sizzling fajitas and customized quesadillas, served in gigantic portions with fresh sides. Robust appetizers (heaping plates of nachos, crunchy taquitos) and Southwestern-tinged sandwiches are popular lunch options. Fishbowl-sized margaritas offer a Southwestern rebuttal to scorpion bowls, and pack just as potent a punch. Save room for the apple crispinas dessert--a delicious Mexican interpretation of apple pie. Rated 8.0 out of 10 by Citysearch.

Best Margaritas 4 By Heather N. \| Insider Expert \| Rank: 5,640 Cactus Club If you are looking for the best Mnarguritas in Boston, go no further then th Cactus Club located on Boyston St. They have seating outside, inside and at the bar. The people are very friendly and helpful. They will help you make your own margurita from differnt alcohols and flavors. They have a wide variety of margurita floavors to get everyones tastebuds going. No only is their alcoho choices excellent, but there food is great too. They are a very inexspensive resturante, but this is not because the quality or taste of their food is lacking. Everything is excellent at the Cactus Club.

The clientele is usually college kids and as a bar scene it's too crowded in the front room: with hardly anywhere to sit it's a pain in the neck to order drinks at the bar and/or get the waitress' attention b/c there are inevitably drunken co-eds in the way ! The bathrooms were also dirty the last time I went, but I can't recall if that's typical. PROS: food, drinks CONS: atmosphere Posted 07/28/05 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The atmosphere is fun, and it's on Boylston St. right near a number of other bars. The food is also very good. I would recommend this place as a great birthday or celebration bar.

The Staff was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about their tequilas. After a mini-tequila lesson from my bartender I opted to try their "Horni Margarita" and it was delicious! The sour mix was very fresh, a nice refreshment from others I had that taste way to sweet and artificial. The food was hot and comforting. For Boylston street Boston area you will not find prices/value that can compete. I was a first-time Cactus-go-er and will most definitely return again. Pros: Fresh Sour Mix & large variety of Tequilas + Value for the Money + Service Cons: Parking - goes without saying for anywhere in Back Bay Posted 12/17/08 Wish there was one close to home :( By bostontrip1 My husband & I visited Cactus Club on a trip into Boston last week. It was actually the last place we had had dinner beofore flying back home and wish we had discovered it sooner! The service was friendly and attentive, the manager was very helpfull, the food was georgeous in both presentation and taste, and I have yet to ahve better margaritas! I would reccomend this place to anyone anytime! Pros: Fun, Hip Atmosphere & great margaritas! Cons: great margaritas! (keeps you drinking...lol) Posted 08/31/08 GO HERE! By fnkgoodman Always impressed every time! Great food at a reasonable price, great drinks and friendly and sincere service. Pros: Great Atmosphere Cons: No reservations on weekends Posted 07/04/08 A+ MARGARITAS By jwcarp Best damn food & margaritas! Cactus Club knows how to do it right - from the great drink menu with delicious concoctions to the friendly and good looking staff you always leave here with a smile on your face. They play great music (even on the weekends) that appeals to all generations. They also have a HUGE buffalo over their bar that believe it or not, smoke comes out of his nose!!! You should go if you haven't been here yet. Highly Reccomended. Pros: Margaritas Cons: Crowded Evenings Posted 05/11/08 Great Food & Great Drinks By MichaelBrines Expect a wait on the weekends especially! BUT Every time I've been there there are always great looking women from the customers to the employees - so chat up a girl while your waiting for your table and enjoy a margarita from their over agerage and unique maregarita menu. The food is above average & when you put it all together along with very reasonable prices for Back Bay...I grage it an A! Pros: Great Crowd! Cons: Parking Stinks Posted 05/01/08
