| - I've been to other locations before and this one in the North Shore did not change my opinion of the local Steel Cactus chain. Steel Cactus, to me, is just average all around. I came to this location for a work holiday lunch and to my surprise, we were the only ones in the entire restaurant. The dining space was also surprisingly small, which I think other locations might be larger.
Our table ordered a selection of chips and dip and the red salsa was my favorite. I thought the guacamole was bland and the queso was ok, however resembled more of a beer cheese than a queso. I ordered the shrimp tacos and thought they were pretty tasty. The sides, though, were an embarrassment. My sides of rice and beans came in little cups that you typically get condiments in, which might not even be so bad if the platter everything came on weren't so large, highlighting exactly how small everything was. For $13, I expected a bit more.
Steel Cactus is not my first pick if I'm in the mood for Mexican, unfortunately. Will I return? Maybe, but probably not anytime soon.
