Cactus Taverna - Salisbury

We've never had a bad meal or service. We can always rely on Cactus Taverna to be consistent in their quality. A wonderful place to go to celebrate or enjoy a nice meal.

The service was phenomenal the food great. The chocolate mousse was good. The drinks were strong yet tasty and the icing on the cake was the piano player. I will be back tomorrow for the rack of Lamb.

I’m not sure why this restaurant has such high reviews. I’m assuming it’s from small town folk who have never actually ventured out into the culinary world to try authentic Latin, Spanish, and Mediterranean cuisines. There seems to be a misrepresentation of what “homemade” vs. canned food is. The ambiance is nice inside and the staff are friendly but by no means is this a restaurant of such high accord. I hope this review serves as motivation for the restaurant to do better and provide the people of this town an actual quality and authentic restaurant.

This restaurant is not Mexican, Spanish or Mediterranean in any way shape or form….they serve flavorless grilled seafood and should be called a seafood grill.. the salsa was store bought tomato sauce or pasta sauce with some springs onions, regular onions and a few tomatoes thrown together. We also had the lomo saltado which is a flavorful Peruvian beef dish on a bed of thick cut French fries…the lomo Saltado here was basically beef chunks with the vegetables from a fajita plate and McDonald’s fries thrown together…the HUMMUS in this apparently Mediterranean fusion restaurant was just coarsely ground chickpeas garnished with the same fajita plate veggies aka long cut onions and green peppers…I think the pita was from either ALDIS or FOOD LION cut up into tiny triangles…the plates only look good and they have a dude playing the sax..trying to make up for the bland flavorless food I guess..if you gave five stars you’ve probably never eaten real Mexican, Spanish or Mediterranean food or travelled very far out of Delmarva… Please try the hummus at a restaurant like RUMIS or the salsa at PLAZA TAPATIA and try the lomo saltado at POLLO RICO in pocomoke city..that’s REAL FOOD! that’s food back from our homes to your homes..

This was was so over priced, and they didn't even prepare the food how I asked. It should have been without any pink, but it was just the opposite. I would never go there again. I got the surf and turf special for $38. Yes it was a special, a special rip off. Look at the pic was this worth $38????
