Something surprising: They have pupusas; true Central American comfort food.
Reservation needed? No.
Overall Experience: 3/5. The menu is in Spanish and if you're not familiar with this type of food, it could be overwhelming. The food is good, but on the expensive side for being fast food.

Best authentic food I travel a lot and love tacos and burritos! I moved outta the area but still come here from a hour away to get tacos ! Best tacos and salads ever I love this place have never found better Mexican food 😭 in all of Massachusetts! Te Amo 😘
Expedited service... Don't expect much in terms of hospitality if that is what your looking for... However the food... Stellar!!! So see what you want ask for it then enjoy... Keep it moving! I can respect that... They pump out great food! Like going to su abuela's en centro america....
Absolutely fantastic! The food is incredible and the staff are great. A little Spanish helps, but not essential. Everyone was happy to see us and we had fast service and great food.
I had an absolutely, positively, extremely phenomenal experience at Cactus Mexican Grill. The staff is very quick and professional and will have your plate ready in less than 5 minutes. These people mean business. I’m more than proud to recommend Cactus Mexican Grill to anyone looking to enjoy real quality Mexican food in East Boston.
I asked how the salad was made. The woman told me: lettuce, tomato, avocado. That's it. I asked for grilled chicken and they drenched the salad in dressing. When I asked for a new one, the server said that's how salads comes. When the "description" says none of this. Not coming back here again. Specially when the servers are rude
Food portion is great here. A medium to go plate: White rice, beans, chicken wings $9.00 they also throw in a couple of tortillas for you. Good flavor, friendly quick service. Wings felt slightly salty, everything else on this plate was on point. If you're looking for a place on the go, this is a good spot to go to.
Stopped by for a quick bite. Found some street parking in the area a block away from the restaurant. Establishment has a pretty short menu, and some indoor seats. Tacos were pretty standard but I do think they give you a nice portion of protein with each serving. Service was also very quick. I tried to order the lengua taco but they didn't have any when I was there (Saturday lunch), so I settled for a chicken taco instead. This place is more of a order to go or eat quickly inside. It's super convenient and close to the blue line.
