Cactus Jack’s

Mexican food (and drinks!) in Garhoud Reviews

From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2008

The food is mostly not up to scratch here. The buffalo wings and prawn fritos are more than adequate, but give the plain ranch steak a miss. Meanwhile, the cheese quesadilla is a crisp flour tortilla wrap filled with melted cheese, spring onions, chopped tomatoes and jalapenos, and the guacamole and sour cream that come with nearly everything liven it up a little.

The potato skins are more jacket than flesh and come saturated in cheese, while the vegetable fillings (chopped courgettes, mushrooms, peppers and carrots) are almost non-descript. In keeping with the adage that the best things in life are free, the spicy salsa with fresh tomatoes is excellent – so good that you’ll scoop it up and scoff an entire basket of corn chips.

This is the sort of place that someone with no idea about good food would suggest as a pre-clubbing dinner stop.

Is one of the more chilled out places you can find in Dubai, the music does get a bit loud after 11pm but it is none the less great value for money and the food, while not gourmet, is none the less highly satisfactory. The drinks are very reasonably priced and they have a nice outdoor dining space as well.

Would definitely recommend for a nice night out with friends or family.

Rubbish... Cactus Jacks offers value for money and the quality of the food itself is more than satisfactory.

Along with reasonably priced drinks, discounts for large groups, good service and entertainment, the overall experience is definitely a good one. If you want 5 star chic restaurants & slick dining then you're on the wrong side of town. Personally, I felt the above review to be a bit harsh and rather negative... then again, we're all entitled to have an opinion.
