Steel Cactus is one of those places that I don't frequent often, but as a place for a decent happy hour, I would recommend. I met with a friend on a Friday for drinks and dinner. We were able to sit at the bar despite it being relatively busy and were able to snag two margaritas for $6 a piece. Not a terrible price and they were really delicious! I recommend trying their seasonal blood orange and cranberry ginger margs. Worth it.
Thankfully we were in no rush to eat as it took about an hour of waiting for us to be seated for a meal. They had the upstairs closed (not sure why, possibly because Cinco de Mayo was the next day and they had decor up there?) so it took significantly longer to seat people. What agitated us was that there were several small, 4 person tables COMPLETELY EMPTY that they would not seat anyone at. Just our luck, as soon as we waited a full hour to eat and were seated in the back area, they began to seat people in the front that had been empty for an hour. Go figure.
Our waiter was great, he announced that he was new to serving and that he would do his best to make sure we got everything we needed. He was incredibly friendly and he did an outstanding job at taking care of us. Food in general is pretty standard, nothing terribly unique, but if you are simply looking for general Mexican fare, this is a good option.
