Pickled Cactus recently received a 2013 Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor – an award given to businesses that earn consistently high ratings from Trip Advisor reviewers.
Below are a few reviews from actual customers as culled from Trip Advisor.
According to reviewer “Redmerl,” Pickled Cactus offers: “Bad service.”
“Redmerl” explains: “I ask for water and my partner order a wine and for his friend, the wine has been serve(d) but not my water, but still I waited maybe my water will (arrive) later but it didn't come until we decide to pay the bill. I was ignored by the lady waitress!!!!”
But Trip Advisor traveler “feefeelasvegas” is happy with the restaurant’s service and food: “Great fun night with yummy food..We had a great night..its always a fun happy atmosphere, the food is super yummy and always good. I would suggest that you book over the busy weekend nights. If you love your Mexican hot this is the place for you, they run a challenge for eating super HOT Mexican. You'll love it.”
Meanwhile, Trip Advisor reviewer “Chen-au” warns potential customers to not order take away: “..take away was disgusting. Service was horrible, lady was quickly frustrated for no reason. Both partner and I ordered no beans and both got beans. I ordered chicken chimichangas and got beef and they were horribly soggy. Only thing they got right was the side salad. Not what either of us expected after paying over $60 for our meal.
I definitely will not be returning anytime soon.”
Reviewer “Kintamasan” describes Pickled Cactus as the “Best Mexican I’ve eaten.”
“Kintamasan” adds: “Not greasy like the fare normally served up at most Mexican places I've been to in Australia. Pickled Cactus dishes were filled with juicy salads and the only complaint I have for the place was the overly talkative pregnant waitress. I always bring people to this place and they always leave satisfied!”
