The Prickly Cactus

Wholesome Tex-Mex fare in a casual, celebratory atmosphere. Dine in or Take-Away 7 Days A Week (lunch Monday-Friday). Great times with some Mexican flare - Ole!

There are dishes to suit everyone: children, vegetarians, gluten free and even meals for "Mexican Cowards". There are heaps of drinks to choose from too, including our famous margaritas (in a fishbowl), a tequila bar, cocktails and a great selection of beers, wines and spirits and non-alcoholic treats. Tex-Mex

We also like to think our service is pretty enjoyable too, but we'll let you judge that
