Cactus Flower Cafe

Hey Dothan! If you haven’t eaten here yet, you’re missing out on the best Mexican food in town! I can’t figure out why this restaurant wasn’t more crowded on a Friday night than it was. It may the be unassuming location, off the beaten path that doesn’t bring in the traffic, I don’t know. But the food was delicious, presentation was on point, service was friendly and fast and the ambiance is fabulous- nice music, white linen table covers, pleasant decor. The chocolate gooey cake is amazing, too! Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!

Very impressed with this cafe! We were traveling and needed a place to stop with a patio so we could dine with our puppy and they were very accommodating!

I had the chicken tacos with no cheese or dairy and they were HUGE and flavorful! My husband had the enchiladas verdes and he said they weren’t spicy but very very good!

We also shared a frozen margarita and it was very tasty! I would highly recommend this super tasty spot!

Amazing staff and atmosphere abounds.

This isn’t typical Mexican food either. Super fresh and flavourful care is evident in each dish. The play of spice and citrus is so well done.

Will be back!

I have never had a bad meal at this place. The chicken tacos are stuffed with a generous portion of chicken. The shells are warm and fresh. The guacamole is fresh. The tamales, also delicious. My waitress, Natasha, was very pleasant and was an awesome waitress. I can't find anything negative to say.

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Dothan. I always try to stop by when I am in town. I went in Dec 21 for dinner & they were very busy. I got seated & taken care of quickly considering how busy they were. The food was good as always & every employee I interacted with was very friendly.

Went on the recommendation of a co-worker, and I'm going to be thanking her! Very good fresh food, wait staff was very helpful and I enjoyed the experience

Visited at lunchtime. You have to try the guacamole, it is fantastic. I had the combo, which includes a quesadilla, soup and salad. Husband had burrito and it was a huge portion. Total cost was around $34, which to us is expensive for lunch, but it is very filling without leaving you miserably full. I will definitely eat here again and will try to go for dinner next time for an expanded menu. Friendly staff made the experience welcoming.

This is my first experience here and wasn't quite sure what to expect but the minute I walked through the door I realized this is a very nice and formal; even romantic dining. We were greeted with a nice smile and friendly service. Already I'm impressed and haven't hardly gotten seated yet. I started with Guacamole Salad and went with the Mahi Mahi fish tacos with the black beans and the lime cilantro rice to round off my meal.
I am so glad I decided to give this place a try as the food here along with the presentation of my meal was quite impressive and delicious.
I highly recommend giving this place a try.

California style, the fish tacos are the best I ha e ever had. This is the only restaurant that offers black bean and they are the full of flavor.
I've never had a bad meal and the best service.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Our waiter, Byron, was amazing and very helpful.
You get the standard chips and salsa at the table. The sweet tea was a bit too sweet for me but was given a cup of unsweetened mix with no issues.
Both the chili and chicken Posole soups were delicious.
I had the special that came with choice of rice and beans. My friend had the Mexican salad with choice of dressing. We were both very satisfied with our meals and too full for dessert.

This Mexican restaurant offers something better than so so many others. The flavors are a little different, the precision of execution is better and the presentation a little fancier than the typical Mexican experience.

Delicious Mexican food! Fresh ingredients and nice selection. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!!

The service was impeccable, the food was fresh and delicious. I was so impressed by the team work of the employees and the way they took care of the customers. I’ll definitely be going back!

Delicious food. Very good service. Very nice people. Highly recommended for that tex/mex, Cali/mex style craving. Love the fountain in the middle of the restaurant..

As a side note, if you want real AUTHENTIC Mexican food, go to El Torito, which is a few miles away

First of all, the ambience in cactus flower is amazing! Feels so authentic!
I had their Wednesday tamale special and it was so delicious.

Great food and service! Good prices. The Mexican Salad was the BEST salad I've ever had! Could eat it EVERYDAY!

The place was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly! The food tasted clean and fresh and my server Richard had a great recommendation on the Southern California Burrito...delicious. Will be back.

Food is always soo good ! People there are extremely nice ! And the Margaritas .....they always taste amazing !

I went for lunch, great meal and atmosphere, staff was friendly and food was fast and really good! I didn't care for the rice (I don't like most rice though), but everything else was very good. I would definitely recommend!

Execellent food and great atmosphere. This is a true gem of the Wiregrass area! Fresh ingredients, great recipes and a great alternative to the standsrd mexican food. This place is a must try, I promise you wont be disappointed!!
