    I had my birthday dinner here last week, and had the best time! Luis and the rest of the staff were the most accommodating, everything came out great. Luis was super helpful with making the big reservation answering any questions I had, and even offered a custom drink menu which was very thoughtful. Amazing food and even better drinks. 10/10 would recommend!

    The food at The Cactus Shop NYC is absolutely delightful and bursting with authentic flavours! We were a group of four — two of us are vegan and loved the zucchini and mushroom tacos, while the rest of us had the birria and it was just yummmm! The guacamole and chips were so fresh and delicious too. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic, flavourful Mexican food. 🌮🥑
