The tacos are so delicious, the chorizo fireballs are amazing, burritos are two meals! Good tequila, good sangria, but together a fabulous octopus drink! Staff friendly and quick service but not rushed, cool atmosphere and Mexican decor.

Best tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico. The freshly made corn shell street tacos had a wonderful charcoal flavor. The steak and chorizo were seasoned wonderfully, and the tacos were full, but tacos, not like others I’ve had that maybe have 2tbsps of meat in them. The salsa that came with them was also excellent. Really excited to return!

We were playing a gig in Franklin, Indiana and found the Blue Cactus searching for something to eat after sound check. The menu looked very good and decided to give it a try. I got a steak bowl (no rice, I’m diabetic) and bacon wrapped jalapeño peppers, she got the Tinga bowl and a skinny margarita. The food was fantastic. Fresh ingredients, very clean, great service, and a cool atmosphere! I wish they had this restaurant in Cleveland! Throughly enjoyed our experience there and would definitely recommend if you’re in Franklin In.

Love their tacos! I have ordered their food off of doordash before! The food is always hot and fresh! They also do not skimp out on queso. They typically give you a deli container of queso! You can also add mushrooms, spinach, or chorizo to the queso!
