Steel Cactus is a great go-to for a cold Dos Equis on a warm day! They have reasonably priced draft beers and a good variety of daily specials. A major plus for this place is the open air seating that they have by having the giant door windows along the front of the place. So on days that are just warm enough to be outside they have the ability to open them up without having to go through the fuss that other places do to have outdoor seating! I've even enjoyed those seats on a warm January day!
A major plus is the happy hour prices. All apps are half price, so you can get taquitos for $3.50, guac and chips for $3, and their chips and salsa go for $2 during Happy Hour, 5 - 7pm! They also have a variety of drink specials, for a quick snack and drink after work, this place isn't too bad!
The 3 star rating comes to the food. Unfortunately it just doesn't hold up to other local Mexican restaurants, so I have to just say it's a-ok on the Southside. Trying the tacos, I didn't love the ground meat and the chicken didn't have much flavor. They do have a variety of burritos, but unfortunately the only time I ordered one they brought me the wrong one, so it wasn't what I was hoping for / not my preferred kind. Maybe the other kinds at tastier though!
