" From the moment we stepped into Iron Cactus, the vibrant atmosphere welcomed us. We sat on the balcony with a great view of 6th street, which perfectly set the mood for our dinner. I opted for the chicken enchiladas and was pleasantly surprised by the authentic taste and generous portion. The drinks were equally impressive, especially the spicy margarita. Our server provided top-notch service, checking on us frequently without being intrusive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group of friends came to Iron Cactus before a concert, and it was a perfect choice! The table-side guacamole was fresh and delicious, and the fajitas were sizzling when they arrived. The service was friendly and attentive despite the busy atmosphere. We enjoyed a range of dishes, and I particularly loved the shrimp tacos. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Iron Cactus last week, and while the food was generally good, I felt it lacked that extra kick my taste buds were craving. The ambiance was lively, but there was a noticeable delay in service which affected my experience. The fajitas were decent but didn't stand out in a city famous for its Tex-Mex. I might give it another go in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" A great spot that caps off a night out with fantastic food and vibrant atmosphere. We tried the brisket enchiladas and were pleasantly surprised. The portion was quite generous. The service was timely, but there was a bit of a wait for our drinks. Still, I’d happily recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an enjoyable experience at Iron Cactus. The chicken fajitas were cooked perfectly and generously portioned, and the ambiance was welcoming. I would have loved to see more variety in the drink menu, but what I had was great nonetheless. I would recommend this location for a laid-back dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Iron Cactus has the best outdoor seating! I had the shrimp tacos, and they were fantastic along with a zesty margarita. The seasonings were on point! Our server was attentive but not overbearing, just what we needed. Truly a perfect spot to enjoy the downtown Austin vibe while indulging in some great Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family tried Iron Cactus during our trip to Austin. It was a great experience overall. The kids loved their meals, and I enjoyed my steak fajitas. They were seasoned well, but I wished they had a bit more heat. The staff was friendly, and the place had a welcoming vibe. I would return again when we’re in town. " (*Curated Review*)
