What User doesn't like about The Thirsty Cactus:
Interesting restaurant in an old store front with Mexican decor and good sized outdoor patio. Not much on the menu by way of choice if you are not a fan of Mexican food.

Thirty Cactus is a unique restaurant in an old storefront with Mexican decor and a large outdoor patio. The menu is mainly Mexican, and the staff is friendly, even though some lacked knowledge about the cuisine. Overall, the food received mixed reviews, with some mentioning delicious dishes and others noting disappointments with certain meals. The atmosphere is praised for being relaxed and welcoming, with the recent removal of tacky decorations. While some improvements are needed, such as hair in food and slow service, the Thirsty Cactus provides a pleasant dining experience in Burlington.
