The Crooked Cactus @ The Saleyards

I LOVE this place!
Great value. Great Food. Awesome drinks. Great atmosphere.
I guess you have to be a Mexican fan to love this place as much as I do. (I love hot food and margaritas — it’s my thing)
Defiantly within my top three of most fave Mexican restaurants in Australia! (I have tried a lot!)

Three out of five stars.
I recently visited this place for dinner while I was in town for work. It was a little hard to find — you go through the bar to get to the restaurant at the back.
I ordered the chicken burrito, which was $ 23. I thought this was a bit pricey but they did give a big serving. The salsa salad which came with the burrito was really tasty but I think the burrito itself, while decent, wasn’t $ 23 decent. However, I noticed they did have a $ 10 lunch menu, which sounds quite good value.
They did not have any ciders on hand, which is my drink of choice, but they had a lot of cocktails, including a monster $ 60 cocktail which is aimed to be shared (I didn’t order it, sorry, so I can’t either recommend it or advise against). I assume it comes up a bucket or possibly wheelbarrow, but I have no basis for that.
Overall, I would give it a go again if I was back in Rocky but I wouldn’t go out of my way to find it for dinner. However, I think it would make a great night out with a big group of friends due to the large volume + variety of cocktails and the fun/​bright Mexican theme of the decorations. See the photos!
Cheers.
