The Fat Cactus.
Location: Park Road Gardens; just off Kloof Street.
Cuisine: Tex Mex.
This place is great for those cravings of nachos and fajitas. The menu is incredible with so many options.
Their wine and beer menu is extensive, as well as their tequila options, naturally. You are truly spoilt for choice – frozen cocktails and jugs too.
The decor is western style, wooden features throughout including the table and chairs. Behind the bar there are parts of mirror and tiles. The body of the bar is made up to old western movie posters.
There is a large outside seating area, well maintained comfortable seats. For lunch this place is quiet, a few business lunches and friends. In the evenings this place gets jumping happy hour seems to be popular.
Steak Fajitas is what i ordered in the huge choice that is what I decided.
Enough of a kick without being spicy, Guacamole and Salsa has enough of kick to make it interesting. The portion size is perfect for lunch, for dinner I might be left a little hungry, but as you can see there is plenty to put in the fajitas. Onions, Cabbage, cheese everything you could want.
Only three tortillas was a little disappointing but for someone who is not keen on bread it was a relief. I was pleased to have to eat the food without accompaniment.
The nachos on some of the neighbouring tables looked amazing, piled high and an easy one to share. This place is quiet enough for a nice lunch, or dinner, just off Kloof Street it is well trafficked and lit.
Until next time.
