Editorial Review for Iron Cactus Mexican Grill & Margarita Bar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This spot has established itself as one of downtown's major upscale, yet moderately priced, restaurants. The interior is ironworks industrial, with minimal decor and large windows that encourage people-watching. There's always the rooftop deck, with a mister in the summer and heaters in the winter. As with most Sixth Street restaurants, a lunchtime crowd of businesspeople filling up on chicken flauta with Spanish rice. At night, students come for more than 80 tequila options.

I went there for a party and somehow my credit card was charged an additional $50 for a tip on a $112 check--and that was after I tipped the bartender $20 in CASH! I have been speaking with Nathan about this ERROR-giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping that they would refund my money. I mean a $72 tip on a $112 bill? and it was all DRINKS--no food... Anyway, I have called and called and basically been given the run around. I was initially told this was no problem and it was clearly a mistake and they would speak to the bartender and refund my money. I am now being passed on to Paris (the GM) who acted as if he had NO IDEA what I was referring to when I called. So tonight I called Nathan for an update and as basically told --I've passed the information on and that's all I can do at this point. I will dispute this charge with my credit card company for a refund but feel that they could have handled this situation ALOT better. I won't be going back there ever and wouldn't recommend anyone else either. PS I never rec'd my copy/lost the recpt-so I picked up a duplicate from Nathan earlier this week--I noticed the "signed" copy they have says "Keep One Copy" not MERCHANT COPY & Customer copy. I'm uncertian if someone took my original signed copy & added the tip to the 2nd copy or what BUT it is very possible.
Pros: None! (I guess for the bartender-he got OVER BIG TIME)
Cons: Possible liars, theives, dishonest staff/employees

The food here is excellent. I recommend the fajitas, they are exceptional! I also recommend the Cactus Juice, a delicious drink with a hidden kick to it. The enchiladas and their sauces are also extremely good.
Pros: Great food, great drinks
Cons: Located on 6th street, sometimes noisy
