I went to Steel Cactus for the first time last night for an event. I had done my research on the place before going, just to see what other patrons thought. When my Mom and I got there, we sat up in the rooftop bar area which was really nice. It was enclosed in glass since it was threatening rain all night. All the other people there for the event had ordered drinks and food, so we decided to do the same.
I was put off a little by how expensive a lot of the dishes were. I wasn't so hungry I wanted a full-out meal but even some of the appetizers were a little high. My mom and I both just ordered some chips and dips. She got the pineapple salsa and I don't think she was too crazy about it. I got the picante guacamole, which while good, was nothing to write home about. We both ordered $2.25 Blue Moons because we didn't want to pay more for drinks. I did notice some other people at this event had those Yinzeritas, which were huge. Not sure how they liked them though.
All in all, would I come back? Maybe for a drink. But the food... I don't know. Sometimes I can be a bit on the cheap side when I go out to eat. I don't normally order stuff over $10-12 unless I know it's going to be good. And based on other reviews, it's probably smart I didn't order a major meal.
