| Comments: | Expect a wait at this Leawood restaurant, everyone who knows about this place loves it! They do have call ahead seating, though - but sometimes you still have to wait a few minutes. All of the ingredients are so fresh! Love the salsa; love the corn masa. The food is displayed beautifully also. Try a Cactus Pear Margarita on the rocks!!

| Favorites: | Chicken Soft Taco |
| Comments: | I LOVE the salsa! I could just eat it right out of the bowl
with a spoon! For some reason the salsa is better at Cactus than it is at
Jose Pepper's and it's the SAME SALSA! And the chips are better at Cactus
too! |
