Welcome to Cactus Cantina – A Washington, D.C. Tex-Mex Tradition Since 1990
Located in the heart of Northwest Washington, Cactus Cantina has been serving bold Tex-Mex flavors and legendary hospitality since 1990. Known for our lively, family-friendly atmosphere and authentic recipes, we’ve become a local favorite — even among America’s First Ladies.
Our menu features Tex-Mex classics like our sizzling fajitas, house-made guacamole, and fresh salsa crafted daily. And no visit is complete without one of our signature frozen margaritas — a D.C. favorite!
Whether you're joining us for a casual night out, picking up carry-out, or planning a private event, we’re here to serve. We also offer drop-off catering for office lunches, celebrations, and gatherings of any size.
From our kitchen to your table — and with parking available — experience the flavors and fun that have made Cactus Cantina a Washington institution for over three decades.
