"The Cocktails were fabulous...The mix of sangria and margarita granita, to die for. The Shangri-la Martini outstanding. We had many things, The tacos, the Meet Platter, The Jidori Chicken, Masa Chicken, Quinoa, Risotto....all were a cut above. Great tastes, funky pairings all work. Good job!!"

"I went to Cactus for Cinqo de Mayo. While the food isn't traditional Mexican, it does offer some similar dishes. Their menu is a mixture of different Latin American dishes with interesting flavor combinations. It doesn't wow me, but it does have some good items. For the windward side, there are not many options so Cactus is a good one if you are in the mood for this type of cuisine"

"A different menu for us, needed help with ordering as we were not familiar with the blend of Latin America and Mexican food. Kelly Ann, our fab Sicilian waitress added a lot of color to our great dining experience and did a great job on her recommendations - the braised short ribs and risotto with chicken and the wonderfully fresh and delicious guacamole. Yumm! It was a fun and gastronomically fulfilling evening."

"For three of the people in our group of four this was a first time experience and everyone raved about the food. We are an investment club and have dinner out every four months. We usually try different restaurants each time but the group said they'd like to return to Cactus next time because the food was so good.
Making reservations through Open Table was easy and convenient especially when I had to change the reservation twice when two members had to change plans."

"When I walked in I did not recognize the usual staff. I had a unwelcomed greeting by the hostess. She told me I was early and that the kitchen was not ready. I had to ask if I could have a drink???? I also had a feeling that because I ordered happy hour it was okay to serve stale chips. The people next to me ordered dinner and I could hear their chips crunch unlike mine. The server was somewhat grumpy.
I wonder if this is the new norm......."

"The food at Cactus was excellent, we didn't taste a single thing that did not delight us. The service was a bit awkward. Our waitress was timely, but not very personable, and the manager seemed to scold/counsel her staff several times in view of the customers. I would return for the food, but would hope for a much different service experience."

"This place is truly a gem in Kailua, away from the hustles of Honolulu. Chef John Memering's interpretation of local ingredients is unassuming yet bold, with a surprising twist of Latin American flair. My server, Cindy, was friendly and attentive, did an excellent job describing the meals. This place is now on my regular visit list on Oahu!"

"We were there on a Friday night, our last night in Kailua. Started out with kind of a weird parking scheme as you essentially double park....I stuck my head in the restaurant and the Hostess walked out with me and told me the staff uses the spots that are essentially blocked in.....very kind of her as parking in Kailua can be challenging at times. Menu was superb.....my wife is vegetarian and had NO problem finding multiple dishes that appealed to her....she had the Kabocha pumpkin enchilada...really good. I had the Smoked Jidori Chicken Coyotas......awesome. We ordered bar drinks but did not use the extensive wine list. Bar was just a little loud but management curtailed that quickly and apologized to diners. We will go again!"

"We had a fine time. The place was busy, but we never felt rushed or ignored. The wait staff was courteous and helpful. The food was tasty, and the portions were just right. Glad to see there is someone attempting something different with mexican/ latin inspired food. Kailua did not need another run of the mill mexican place, but we do need a Target. Yes, I went there."

"Tried something from a "Like Water for Chocolate" special menu and the Quail with Rose Petal Mole was great. The Beef Rib-eye I had would've been good as well had it come to the table hot. The waiter was very pleasant, and I don't know if she or the kitchen was the cause of the cold steak, but they need to fix that. The mixed drinks and wine list, which like the menu are S. American inspired, were really good."

"We went on Valentine's Day but had a reservation, were seated right away hardly any wait our server was wonderful so helpful and took time with us even tho they were crazy busy, and from what i could tell, they were handling it really well. The food was super tasty we tried a few things ....Fry bread, pumpkin enchiladas, carne tacos, and caesar salad, all so yummy and worth it, the only thing that was just average was tres leche cake, also I would definitely sit inside next time, the lighting is just so so outside and lots of cars going by.We loved this place and will be going back soon."

"Delicious food; interesting menu. A good place for sharing plates. Very attentive wait staff. Their fried peppers are not to be missed! And the pumpkin mole enchiladas are wonderful. Good selection of local fish & local produce. A fun place to take visitors and for locals to return to."

"Delicious gourmet Latin American flavors with Hawaiian ingredients - perfect combination! Ceviche tasted too fishy, wild boar empanadas and chicken coyotas are good starters, but the mains are what stood out. Brazilian mariscada with farofa dumplings - incredible! So many flavors and textures! Duck carnitas are also delicious, masa crusted chicken breast also good.Pisco sour is a bit strange tasting, but the staff replaced the drink with no questions asked. Other drinks were a hit (especially roasted pineapple mojito)."

"Some of the most thought-dense gourmet cooking in town. Not too expensive for people who care about new wave cooking gourmet. all local produce and much of it organic. Daily specials even for lunch."

"Food not very good, steak was so tough it was like chewing gum. Mole was very bitter. Almost sitting at the diners table next to you. Service was good but not a comfortable dining experience"
