I have loved this restaurant since it opened a few years ago for the great atmosphere, friendly prompt service and its unique creative dishes. This week I was very disappointed in the carnitas which are actually pulled pork in a sweet barbeque sauce. It tasted terrible on the nachos and the tacos. It should not be called carnitas. Carnitas are succulent pieces or pork fried in lard and cut into small pieces with no sweet sauce. The salsa was boring as well. The new menu is not as exciting as the previous one. I like consistency in my eating establishments. Add some specials but leave the rest alone. Also they charge for chips and salsa which I find really pretentious. Seriously. Pros: Great atmosphere and service, interesting dishes Cons: Menu changed and carnitas are pulled pork.

Been here 3 times over the last 2 years. Very courteous wait staff, knowledgeable with the menu and recommendations. Right now they have the tri-taco (soft taco) for lunch special. It was recommended to us and was sold on the spot. We loved it. Also right now, for each dessert sold, $1 goes into a charity. I love the happy hour there, the drinks, and overall the atmosphere, and patio seating. Check them out! One of Kirkland's favorite.

Loved the place! Great drinks, fast service, friendly fun atmosphere. You have to pay $3.00 to park after 5 pm. Pros: Friendly / Fast Service Cons: Parking

Cactus is a great place for drinks, the food is ok, better for Happy hour. A good place to take a date, please leave the kids at home. The staff is fun, it's nice to see the same people there. They don't judge you if you drink too many margaritas, either. LOL Pros: Strong drinks!

We used to really like this place but that was few years ago. Now the food is just plain bad:-( We went there recently - rice and beans are bland. Beans seem to be out of can. Enchilada was made with deep fried tortillas - really oily! And the fish tacos were nothing special. Mexican food can be very flavorful and tasty - food here is just badly made. Pros: great location, decor Cons: Bad food!

This is one of my favorite places to go for dinner. It's a casual & fun atmosphere. The food is FANTASTIC... I love their Nachos, Goat Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos, and their Chimichanga. They have delicious margaritas as well...be careful how many you drink though. They don't spare any tequilla! :)

This place is pretty hip in Kirkland these days and is always crowded at happy hour, but it's always fun too. The outdoor seating isn't in the sun if that's what you're hoping for, but they have those big outdoor heaters that still make it a nice place to hang out. And the bar staff is very efficient. Pros: good food, fun atmosphere Cons: crowded, outdoor seating not in the sun
