"The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the gluten free options. All the corn tortilla tacos are gluten free except the fish ones. They were all delicious although a little pricey. It's a shame the corn chips are cooked in contaminated oil so coeliac people can't have them."

"Went in November to the Café. Wasn’t particularly busy, I’d guess there to be 50 people spread over about 10 tables? So why on earth we had to wait so long for anything is beyond me. It took 20, yes, 20 minutes to get the bill. A small piece of paper which details what you purchased and how much it costs. 20 minutes. The staff obviously knew their service was poor, they gave the dear lady a free Mojito which is excellent by the way. The guest IPA was Punk IPA. The menu was about 10 pages. Of which 1 page is the food, and no real direction to it what is a starter, a main, a dessert? I appreciate its Tapas but it doesn’t really explain. We had 3 plates, the Squid was beautiful. We had Pork as well as truffle enchiladas. I loved it, the wife didn’t. All in all, I wouldn’t come back unless service was drastically improved."

"Food was good and service was excellent particularly liked the 'Buy One Get One Free ' cocktails offer!! However the open fronted nature of the restaurant meant that it did feel more like eating in the food court of a shopping mall rather than a restaurant so I probably wouldn 't go there for a special event."

"I'm disappointed to share my experience at this restaurant. I had made a reservation for my partner and me, and upon our arrival, we entered and waited at the front for someone to seat us. Unfortunately, the staff seemed unprepared for their duties. We stood by the entrance while two employees chatted and laughed in the kitchen, seemingly oblivious to us. The restaurant was completely empty, which was not surprising given the service we received. We tried to get their attention, and while they glanced our way, they continued their conversation without acknowledging us. A member of the kitchen staff even came out to joke around, but we were ignored once again. Feeling quite frustrated and disheartened, we decided to leave. It’s unfortunate because I believe our dining experience could have been enjoyable if the staff had been attentive and professional."

"Food good but we waited mins for our main course. They had too few staff and they did well but were run off their feet. We asked for a discount and they agreed on food only. Shame as the food was delicious when it came but we’d Waited for so long our appetite was gone!"

"Review written by wife. The overall experience was good, the starters were great however there were a few things that let it down. 1) It took a while for our food to come out. 2) The drinks we ordered came out in dribs and drabs. At one point a drink for our table was given to another table. Also, we then got the same drink twice. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the waiters. 3) The food was nice, however, my husband ordered his steak and lamb to be medium well but when it came it was practically raw. He wasn’t even able to cut into it. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and have it cooked a bit more. 4) My parents food was way too salty we’re a family who like salt so for us to say it was too salty is really something. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and when it came out it was much better. 5) I had the prawn curry which was nice, it said it was a coconut lime curry however all you could taste was lime which I didn’t mind so much but after a while it was a bit sharp. 6) We called the waitress over again as my sister had ordered taco’s but she didn’t want them anymore, however when we called over the waitress she made it very clear that she was fed up/tired of having to come over to our table. She sighed before speaking and her body language clearly showed she didn’t want to be there. 7) The cocktails seemed as though they had been watered down. I got the bramble and when it came it just tasted of soda water which wasn’t great and so did my sisters cocktail. With adjustments to attitudes and service, it could be a really great place."

"I wasn't impressed with the service. After being seated, we waited 15 minutes without receiving any menus, so we had to ask for them. We requested water for the table, but there were no glasses available, so we had to wait again. The waiter promised to bring complimentary tequila due to the delay, but it never showed up. Two people ordered fajitas and had to wait an additional 5 minutes for the tortillas, while the dish was served cold. We were a party of six, and two of our orders arrived about 15 minutes after everyone else's. On a positive note, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. However, the service was very disappointing."

"Had the lunchtime express menu which has an amazing selection. I personally had the lamb tacos, beef tortas and fries. Everything was nicely spiced, the meat was melt in your mouth tender and served super quick. The venue is cool with a friendly vibe and the seating very comfortable soft leather. The staff were friendly to boot. The only thing that I regret is not having the opportunity to try out their cocktails which looked delicious."

"If you're looking for a decent British take on traditional Cali-Mex dining, this is as good a place to start as you'll find. We ordered nearly identical burrito in a bowl/box meals and it was definitely the right choice. The boxes were packed (see attached not so great pic) with delicious ingredients. We also ordered a selection of chips and dips, which were all good but none of the sauces were really meant for dipping but made great additions to the boxes. Highlights included the amount of food for the price, as mentioned the box was stuffed. The quality of the ingredients and taste were great. On the flip side, provision of sour cream was anemic and the grilled veggies could've been a bit more charred. Additionally, maybe I'm missing something but I've never had cucumbers included as a grilled veggie but they were a fine addition. The sauces could've been a bit more robust for the price (with chips), and a cheese or nacho sauce would've been a welcome inclusion or side. We'd happily order again."

"Lovely food, good portion sizes, and great service. We had the brisket and the fajitas, both were great, would especially recommend the brisket. Also had the flautas to start with were fantastic and came with a great sauce. Servers were friendly, helpful, and attentive. One starter, two mains, and a soft drink came to £46"

"An excellent food choice for every time of the day. I've been a customer for 1.5 year now and this place never disappoints. Everything they serve apart from -obviously- pitas, are made in-store, fresh, every day, something that is definitely not the average for Britain. Living in Britain I'm sick and tired of pre-cooked and frozen, overpriced food. Even expensive chains still serve pre-cooked stuff. The proof? Your order arrives 10' after you place it. How long would a steak take to grill at home? 20-30mins? Why should a restaurant take less than that? This means it's pre-cooked. Mission Burrito definitely suffers from bad central management, they're doing their shops no favours for sure, however the Reading staff is always nice and helpful and keep the place sparkly clean, unlike many restaurants in Britain where hygiene is clearly not a priority. The country clearly has low hygiene standards and high tolerance to dirt, however Mission Burrito mainly employs mediterranean people, so they keep the place clean. Long story short, their food is ultra fresh, very well cooked, extrermely tasty, very very healthy, no fatty stuff there, or weird processed crappy ingredients. You can rest assured your money is well spent and your stomach will be happy. Management: give more credit to your staff, they fully deserve it!"

"Cactus Cafe is the only Mexican restaurant in Loughborough, but even if there were others, I believe it would still be the top choice. The food here is truly excellent."
"I actually like this place, but the staff are slack. I have raised the issue of meat falling into sauses and being mixed up. I do not eat beef and my kids are vegetarian. Yesterday night, I watched as a piece of pulled pork was dropped into the salsa verde sauce. The staff saw me watching and then proceeded to mix it into the green sauce. I have raised this with them and I don't think that they get that some people do not eat meats for religios reasons pork (islam) beef (hindus) vegetarian (not meat at all). Its about time you cleaned up or start to loose customers as the concept is likeable!"

"we were here twice before pandemic. they had fantastic menus, authentic and coworkers explained what the different tapas etc. were. this time the menu was different, no tapas . the personal had no idea what the menu is from when we asked. we ordered some exotic looking starters specified ‘root etc.’ that was fried petersnips and some other “exotic” main search where the personal did not explain what it was. it turned out to be a bowl of dry rice with mixed cheap seafood. bill came too high for what they had in a ground in a pub, with people who scream, seems to have a fight. no disrespect, but we still had quite different experiences and I traveled about how amazing it was for everyone I know! absolutely shocked as it has changed recently. will not go back."

"I went to this restaurant for Saturday lunch with five friends. The reviews on the food were mixed. I ordered the carne asada burrito and it was delicious, 10/10. However, my friends ordered the quesadillas and complained that they were too oily and had too much cheese. The service started off slow, but once our order was taken, the food came out quickly and everyone got what they ordered. The atmosphere was nice, though the room could use some improvement. The menu was also a bit worn out and could benefit from being laminated or replaced more frequently."
