Cactus Jack's signature dish is fajitas, and you can take your pick of this sizzling meat-and-tortilla Tex-Mex gastronomic delight with chorizo, beef, pepe's and chicken. Choose your flavour, from medium and hot to make-your-eyes-water hot! Besides traditional Mexican fare, salads, burgers and steaks pamper your taste buds. And don't forget the desserts - anyone with a sweet tooth will appreciate the fantastic chocolate nachos that Cactus Jack's patrons swear by. If all this has got your mouth tingling already, wait till you actually get to the restaurant!

Wash Down the Delicious Food with Fabulous Cocktails and Margaritas
